Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  This episodes is about distractions.  I have had a few myself resulting in a delay in airing this episode.  I am in the process of adding video to the podcast on a bimonthly basis.   It has resulted in a few more hurdles.  So apologies for the delay.  We make thousands of decisions each day from food choices to navigation.  These choices are made in the face of many distractions.  Just like stress, distractions never go away, we just have the opportunity to react differently.   Distractions occur both externally and internally.  An example might be someone trying to get you off your nutrition plan by temping you with a tasty desert.  Some may also call that guilting.  Internal distractions fuel the fire with the stories we tell ourselves to justify behaviors not inline with our goals.  That internal dialog can be quite convincing.  Have you ever been called a perfectionist?  Have you ever felt you had something down to a perfection?  Both often result in frustration and disappointment.  There is always another level to achieve.  The aim is to enjoy or savor the process.   I challenge you to raise the bar.  Surround yourself with people that challenge you and savor the journey towards your health goals.   If you would like to reverse lifestyle disease, get of medications, or become the healthiest version of you, check out our website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Email me with questions at jami@doctordulaney.com.  Look for the video launch in the next few weeks on youtube and Spotify.    Dietitian consults: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength consults: nathan@doctordulaney.com Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney.  discount code: cleanwaterforsophe Thanks for listening!

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.    Cruel Jewel was not the outcome that I was looking for with regard to finishing.  The details are shared in this podcast.   The questions came earlier.  Am I too old, too slow to run these races? Why am I doing this to myself?  At 48 hours post race it sank in.  It is more about the start line than the finish line.  It is about taking a chance on the unknown.  I had the opportunity to confront a struggle that I chose which is different from having a struggle cast upon me.  I was able to experience that moment when all that exists is now.  I focused on the trail.  I watched for snakes, turns, rocks and roots.  I climbed for miles and pushed my limits.  I practiced going down through roots and rocks.  I heard birds, saw beautiful rocks and traversed lush green forests (some secondary to poison oak).  I experience the struggles of others and the help and encouragement of strangers and friends.  I felt immense peace in the struggles.  I am better for having started.  My finish line came earlier on Saturday, but I am anxious and grateful for the ability to find another start line and all the unknowns that it will bring.   Each time I start, I learn and grow.  Rarely is it perfection as defined by the outcome.  It is not so different from life.  We plan and rehearse, but the reality is that life is often much different.   It is not so bad, if we learn to enjoy the journey.  Thank you for listening to my journey.   If you would like help with your healthy journey check out the website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Email me with questions at jami@doctordulaney.com Dietary consultations: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training programing: natha@doctordulaney.com Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney Save a pet: castoffpetrescue.org    

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  What are your plans?   How about eating a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.  This will allow you to do things like run, and raft, and bike ride (pedal) into your 80s.  What would a life without countless blood test and imaging be like.  Why would anyone wait in a doctors office for hours?  Why not just be healthy? Move your body and eat plant based.  Today's episode will show you how to grow hair and health.  Neither require pharmaceuticals.  Our countries population is sick largely because of nutrition and our environment.  But it will change if you want it.  Vote with your dollars for good food and outdoor activities.   If you want to learn how our patients get well through a plant based diet and exercise then visit our website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com Dietitian: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training:  nathan@doctordulaney.com Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Water distiller: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney discount code: cleanwaterforsophie Thanks for listening!

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   This is a race recap of the Skunk Ape 50 mile ultra in Ocala, Florida.  I was not abducted by the Skunk Ape, but willingly got in a car with Motivation as it sped off the race course.  Actually, it was Jim in a Nissan along with three other people pulling out of the race at 30 miles.  New friends and many life lessons once again having the opportunity to learn from mistakes.   I am disappointed and I disappointed those who support me.  Everyday is not a win but I vow to learn the hard lessons at hand.  We all struggle and it is better to do it together.  That is why we are committed to helping people gain back their health through nutrition and exercise.  The struggle is real.  If you would like to learn more about the practice, check out the website: https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Thanks for listening!

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  It can be very difficult to navigate the risk of a medicine or a procedure versus the benefits.  It is impossible to apply the statistics of many to one.  The study populations may be very different than those we apply the risk/benefit ratios to.  Even with the best information, we are forced to make a gamble many times. While that gamble might be unavoidable, we should not be cavalier about the decision or fail to observe and ask questions on what might be the best plan of action.  Today's topic is atrial fibrillation and stroke risk.  What is the best course of action.  What risks can we accept.   As health care providers, we must continue to exam treatment options, but more importantly, what can we do to prevent atrial fibrillation and strokes.   It is certainly best to avoid atrial fibrillation in the first place.  That is certainly the best plan of action.  Plant based nutrition is a low risk way to get started.  If you would like to learn more about how our practice decreases lifestyle diseases, check out the website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Thanks for listning.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  If you have lost your motivation for a healthy lifestyle, try looking for it on the couch.  Motivation is there for you as long as it does not require stepping into action.  All the catchy slogans and memes fade away when it comes time to cook healthy or step out into the cold morning for exercise.  If only I had an accountability partner.  If only my spouse would help.  I am just not motivated.   Why? That is the big question.  What is your why?   It is yours and yours alone.   Let us help you take the first step to finding a why that will come with you on the walks and workouts.  A why that will escort you to the grocery store and kitchen.   Modifying cardiac risks does not mean adding more testing.  It is about more action to live a healthy lifestyle.  No one is risk free despite the naivety of youth when it comes to dietary choices.  Lifestyle diseases live in the shadows and grow overtime.   That cheeseburger is a health hazard beginning in the processing through the teflon coated paper it is wrapped in.  Don't be fooled by today's affect.  That plaque may grow quicker than expected.  Enjoy the rant and then get moving.  Thank you for listening Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com Website: doctordulaney.com Dietetic consultation: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength workouts: nathan@doctordulaney.com Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Water distiller: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney  

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Sometimes you can do more than you think you can.  You find another gear to go on.  Sometimes, you stop and say you did the best that you could.  How do you feel about those decisions the next day?  Regrets? I've had a few.  It is very easy to put our decisions in cruise control and just do what is easy.  Avoid the jolts or the risks.  Just cruise.  However, we don't just cruise, we decline and before you know it, health has left the body.  We are now cruising downhill collecting diagnosis and medications.  We did the best we could.... maybe.   Let me help you find another gear and enjoy acceleration and vitality.  The story will be much better. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2415879 Email me with questions at jami@doctordulaney.com Website: https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney.  discount code: cleanwaterforsophie    

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   We all need to ask why and how.  Why do this procedure or eat this way, and how will it help me.  Will I live longer or better?  One might think that early detection will result in better cures or outcomes.  However, the treatment may cause significant problems and not affect longevity in a positive way.  Watching rarely results in a positive change.  Why not just eat plant based and exercise?   When I look at a procedure or dietary lifestyle, I look for long term outcomes.  How will that affect my longevity? How will it affect my health span.  A few years of testimonials is not what I am looking at.  What is the long term risk?  Today I respond to a internet doctor that suggests we do not need fiber.  None.  I also will review a recent study looking at who might benefit from a coronary calcium score.  Thanks for listening.  Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com Practice information at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Dietetic consultations: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training programing: nathan@doctordulaney.com Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney. code: cleanwaterforsophie https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/fullarticle/2830950 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-03570-5  

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Should you worry if you are good at it?  Turns out most worries have little to do with the facts.  We could spend out time better enjoying the present moment.  What ifs can get in the way of forward progress.  Working a plan is much more calming then worrying about failure.   Today I will share with you my plan to make a confidence bank of the facts versus listing all of the potential pitfalls to my plan.  If you would like some help building a confidence bank in order to sustain a healthy lifestyle give our website a look at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Thanks for listening Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com Dietetic consultations: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training: nathan@doctordulaney.com Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney. discount code: Cleanwaterforsophie Ebookhttps://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   I am joined by Addie Majnaric, RDN today to discuss fiber and it's role in health and the potential to limit the car size of GI doctors.  There are many hacks to lifespan on social media.  GLP-1 Agonists such as semaglutide are all the rage for curing obesity, addiction and various other ailments.  They run about $1600.00 per month.  It is too soon to determine if they result in increased longevity but a simple sulfonylurea drug such as Glyburide at $14.00 per month! was studied to see if it could lengthen life in mice and it did!  But there is a catch. There is also a catch with metformin another diabetic drug.  Most people are very willing to take something that might help if it is cheap or free even if there are potential side effects.   One thing that also improves longevity is increased muscle mass.  And the best way to get big muscles is to lift heavy things on a regular basis. I will give you why I am even more motivated to lift heavy things and propel my body into the air on this podcast.  Thanks for listening.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   March is national nutrition month and we are gong to kick things off with our registered dietitian, Addie Majnaric RDN to discuss protein needs for all stages of life.  Our mission is movement and nutrition to promote a healthy lifespan.  Obtaining a balance plate of macronutrients include protein, carbohydrate and fat.  We would also like to include fiber in that equation because of the gut health benefits.  Plant based nutrition is the perfect way to get a wide variety of macronutrient sources that are easy to digest with the least toxicity.  I finished the Long Play 33.3 this past weekend and I will provide a recap of my experience running in the Withlacoochee State Park.  It was named one of the coolest places you have never been in North America and I would have to agree.  Enjoy the listen.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  We all have the ability to switch on and off mentally.  The problem is we do not often realize when or what causes the switch.  But when it does, we instantly create a dialog to support the change.  The switch is often not in sync with our bodies.  Some say it is the brains way of protecting the body from doing harm.  Sometimes it is the brains way of saying enough.  The problem comes when the brain pulls a fast one to get instant gratification or to avoid perceived mental anguish.   The switch becomes a crossroads for overall health and even life itself on occasion.  Learning what causes your switch to flip can be very helpful in healthy decision making.   This episode is dedicated to those who lived gallantly in body and mind until the very end.  They were wonderful mentors for a life well lived.  Thank you.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   My mother used to joke and say she would take my night calls.  She would say take an aspirin and call me in the am.  Is that good advice?  The reality is that there is not a whole lot of good data to support the practice of taking an aspirin to protect against cardiovascular disease.  The reality is  there is not a whole lot of data on a lot of hospital practices.  I dive into this during this episode. What we do know is that plant based nutrition especially nitric oxide producing greens will decrease cardiovascular events.  Getting outside and exercising builds good immunity.  If you would like to learn more or have us help you choose the best health options check out our website athttps://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Email with questions: jami@doctordulaney.com Dietitian consultations: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training: nathan@doctordulaney.com  

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   Welcome to a tour of your heart anatomy.  Today I will describe how it works and how to keep it working.  Valentine's day is about showing those we love we care.  Today I would ask you show a little love to your own heart and the rest of you for that matter.  Your heart pumps blood into your blood vessels that go to the rest of your body.  Your brain is very demanding and requires 20% of your energy production or else it sends unwanted messages to increase heart rate and blood pressure.   Those who exercise consistently over the years do the best at maintaining a good functioning vascular system and brain.  Eating plant based with a focus on nitric oxide producing greens will also help to maintain good blood vessels.   Treat this Valentine's day as a day of love and appreciation for healthy behaviors.  It might just be the best day ever.   Thank you for listening.  Email me with questions at jami@doctordulaney.com Dietitian consults: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training plans: nathan@doctordulaney.com Website: https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/  

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Did you know you could get medical advice in the self checkout line in the grocery store? It is amazing where people seek advise and from whom they seek it.  With today's lack of trust in the medical industry, I cannot blame them.  I hope to provide some truthful health information in my podcasts.  Thank you for taking a listen. What was the fork in the road for your change in health trajectory?  My family history lead me to medicine, but it was a podcast on running that inspired me to change my practice.   My first marathon was to raise money for the American Diabetes Association to "find a cure".  It was changing my practice that lead to my practice success in treating diabetes.  Running has been a positive influence on my physical and mental health.  They say when you finish a marathon or an Ironman triathlon that you are changed.  It is true, but the 100 mile ultramarathon took all of that up a notch.  I will share a few stories about people in my practice that have had their own experience and others who continue to struggle.  The only difference is mindset.   I get asked frequently about supplements.  Today I will review iron and hyaluronic acid supplements.  Take a listen.  If you would like information on how to join our practice, check out the website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Email me: jami@doctordulaney.com Dietitian consultations: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training: Nathan@doctordulaney.com Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney  

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Do you want to live to 100 or perhaps longer than relatives? Is health span more important than longevity.  How about living well until you die? These are common statements that I hear in my practice.  But rarely do people have a detailed plan to achieve their goals.  I believe most people want to live as long as they can.   While many subscribe to supplements, life hacks and procedures, the most important thing you can do to achieve longevity is nutrition, exercise and sleep.  Everyday matters and the rate of decline can actually be measured through changes in our DNA.   What more details? Check out the podcast.   Thanks for listening.  Website: https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Consultations: jami@doctordulaney.com Dietitian consult: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training: nathan@doctordulaney.com Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  I ran 33 miles out of 100 miles at the Long Haul 100 this past weekend and I am happy.  Last year it would have been a major disappointment not finishing.  This year I am grateful to have ran well and came away stronger than ever.  I will share the nitty gritty details of the weekend in this episode.   There were plant based vegan people running but the majority were not including the aid stations.  That is my problem and not theirs.  So we happily bring our own food and supplies for great tent living for 48 hours.  We had 3 coolers and a jet burner to warm up food.  Most of the food was made at home such as pasta salad, tu-no salad, mushroom burgers, seitan-tofu loaf, potato soup, and tomato soup.  We had a fruit bowl and fruit juice as well as simple running foods of sunbutter and jelly and various bars.  Being plant based did not decrease our fun or enjoyment hanging out with non plant based people at a state park.   Living your best plant based life does not have to be difficult, restrictive or limited.  When the goal is the healthiest lifespan your can achieve, nutrition and exercise are at the top of the list.  Enjoy this podcast of gratitude for a wonderful weekend with our ultra loving friends.   Shout out to Lynda and Lew Albert for their ongoing support in our plant based ultra lives.   Thank you for listening.  Plant Based Decreases Cancer Risk: https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/growing-evidence-suggests-plant-based-diets-reduce-cancer-2025a100011d?form=fpf Practice information/Consultations: https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Questions: jami@doctordulaney.com Dietary consultations: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training: nathan@doctordulaney.com Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Water distiller: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney. code: cleanwaterforsophie    

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   When we think of eye health, the first food that comes to mind is carrots.  We all need Vitamin A and carrots are a great source.  Eggs are also rich in Vitamin A but they are also rich in cholesterol that will not do your eyes any favors.   Did you know your eyes are rich in mitochondria?  Being overweight is a risk for cataracts.   I had a great visit with my plant based eye doctor and will share some discussions we had.  Anywhere there is blood supply there is a risk of vascular disease.  Aerobic exercise is a great way to improve the stiffness of arteries.  How much?  Give a listen.   If you would like to get the year started with good plant based nutrition and exercise, give our website a look at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Thank you for listening.  Consultations: jami@doctordulaney.com Dietitian Consultations: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training plans: nathan@doctordulaney.com Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney   Code cleanwaterforsophie Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/  

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   This has been a year of comebacks and new traditions.  The holidays  can be very stressful partially due to maintaining traditions.  Some of the traditions are not even healthy or even take away from more healthy behaviors.  Taken together with the stress of fulfilling the tasks makes for a not so joyous holiday.  As the minimalists say, does this still bring you joy? Large sedentary family and friend gatherings with excessive amounts of calorically dense foods can derail a nutrition and movement comeback.  We added a new Christmas Eve fun run to our holiday tradition.  Less time in the kitchen and more time moving.   I have been on a comeback journey with an ankle injury.  Who knew an ankle injury could take so long to heal? I have had to focus on what is going right more than what I am unable to accomplish running.  Step by step changing negative dialog to positive dialog.  It is not easy but is much better when I can do it.   Comeback stories are the best, and I would like to invite you to https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ to let us help you with your comeback.  Our team would love to support you.  As always, thanks for listening.  Emails about the practice: jami@doctordulaney.com Nutrition consultations: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training: nathan@doctordulaney.com Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney.  code: cleanwaterforsophie Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Ebook:https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   Today, Andy "Croom" Mathews joins me to talk about his 200 mile ultra run across Florida for his 63 third year of life.  We talk about his running career and how different it turned out from what he thought it would.  Better yet, we talked or he did, about the multiple ultras he has planned for the near future.  To say that we can do more than we think we can could not be more evident than listening to his story. What will be your story for 2025?  The sky is the limit if you are willing to roll up your sleeves and do a few hard things.  If you have met Andy, you will know he does just that with a big old smile on his face.   Enjoy the episode and Thank you for listening.  Website to join our wellness practice: https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Registered Dietician consults: addie@doctordulaney.com Practice questions or consultations: jami@doctordulaney.com Strength training: nathan@doctordulaney.com Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  This is podcast 500 for me.  I have tried to average one podcast a week since the beginning.  I have had a few 10 day stretches but for the most part once a week.   The why for my podcast has not changed.  To educate people about a healthy lifestyle with regard to nutrition and exercise.   I became a cardiologist because the people I loved most died from cardiovascular disease.  Family history certainly plays a role in health both from a genetic and environmental stand point.  It has been my mission in my medical practice to understand those risk factors and observe whether modifying lifestyle factors can influence the course of disease.  The podcast is an attempt to reach more people with a similar interest.  Bringing science and story telling together has been the evolution of the podcast.   It is never too late to make a change towards better health.  I hope this podcast has inspired that sentiment.  I plan to expand the podcast by adding a monthly live podcast as a live discussion of questions for would be patron members.  This will begin in January on the first Friday of the month.  If you would like to become part of our practice family.  Check out the website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ As always thank you for listening.   Email questions about the practice to jami@doctordulaney.com Dietary consultations: Addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training programing: Nathan@doctordulaney.com Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Cookbook:https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney.  discount code: cleanwaterforsophie  

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   The holidays are upon us, and the year is coming to the end.  There could not be a more important time for mindfulness.  Where did those holiday foods come from?  What are the ingredients?  A little bite of this or that surely won't hurt you will it?  Some of those little puffed appetizers are packed full of fat and salt.  Buffet tables are full of calorie dense food that is consumed with little regard.  The next thing you know, your weight is up 5 lbs and your breathing is labored.   Come on Doc, live a little they say. That is exactly correct.  I want to live a little longer to do the things that really matter to me.  I can still hang out with great folks eating Costco mac and cheese and have a good time without eating it.  I look forward to the healthy meals that I prepare.   If you have a health concern, you deserve support and a voice in your care.  We would be happy to navigate health care decisions with you.  Check out our website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ for consultations, coaching sessions or full memberships.  You can also gift access to our website content for $25.00 per month.  This is a great way to dip your toe into a plant strong lifestyle.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  I want you to talk yourself into a plant strong Thanksgiving.  I want you to sell it like a used car salesman.  Write your reasons down.  Detail your plan of action now.  Describe the menu in detail.  If you don't know the recipes by heart include them in the details.  Leave nothing to chance.  This takes the guess work and will power out of the equation.  Rehearse a dialogue that you will have with friends and family.  Dare to be healthy.  Celebrate health with healthy food.  Give thanks for health.  Present the food in the most beautiful way.  The holidays are a stressful time because we expect perfection in the face of everyday reality.  Traditions are yours to make.  Turkeys were not a part of the original Thanksgiving nor was football.  When you sit around the table and reflect on being thankful for your health does it not make sense to celebrate with healthy food?  I will give you some healthy tips for the holidays in this episode and a little science to boot.  Thank you for listening.  I appreciate your kind emails and support.  We would love to be your support to a healthier you.  Check out the website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ You can still purchase our power plant ebook that has Thanksgiving worthy recipes at https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Questions about the practice: jami@doctordulaney.com Dietitian education: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training programing: nathan@doctordulaney.com Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney   code: cleanwaterforsophie Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq  

Welcome and Thank you for listening!  One commercial that sticks in everyone's mind is "Timex, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking".  Resilience does not come from everything going right.  It is developed through life's traumas and failures.  Amazing stories of resilience are admirable and motivational.  However, the big red easy button also seems to catch our attention.   Which statement resonates with you.  Against all odds.  It is never zero.  Why not me.  It is impossible.  There are a lot of things we can do nutritionally and movement wise to make ourselves more resilient, but achieving those goals depends on which statement we use to tell our story.   I will share some resilience stories today along with a little science behind vitamin D supplementation and dementia.  I hope you are motivated by the stories to move a little more,  face some hard things head on and eat plant based to increase your resilience.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   The Austin Ratler 50k is in the books.  More things went right than wrong.  Perhaps the what went wrong makes for a more entertaining story.  We certainly tend to learn more from the what went wrong.  They also give us practice dealing with life's obstacles.  Nothing is perfect, but not right doesn't have to be bad either.  I hope you find this episode entertaining but can also apply some of my strategies for dealing with what goes wrong to your health journey.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Addie Majnaric, RDN, joins me today to launch our new ebook, Powerful Plates, Fight Breast Cancer with Food.   Rather than buy pink labeled clothing or contribute to so called breast cancer research, why not decrease your own risk of cancer.  One in 8 women will get the diagnosis.  Despite the pink, breast cancer is still very prevalent in the United States.  Most assume that it is just a roll of the dice or bad luck.  And what is even worse is that there is nothing you can do to alter your risk or increase your chance for health.  That is just not so.  Allopathic medicine talks of informed consent and early detection but in reality, women are made to fear the diagnosis so much that they feel powerless to participate in their own health.   Nutrition is a pillar to a healthy lifespan.  Eliminating chemicals, and additives in food and enhancing nutrient density is a game changer.  Mindset is also a powerful tool for health along with exercise and a normal BMI.   We will be launching our Powerful Plate ebook soon that features 10 healthy easy to prepare recipes that are powerhouses of nutrients for the whole family, but especially for women wishing to improve their prognosis when it comes to breast cancer.  The recipes feature fiber, betacarotene, antioxidants, cruciferous vegetables, soy, and mushrooms.  We added a fall twist with the addition of sweet potatoes and pumpkin.  These are Plant Based Wellness practice favorites that the entire family will enjoy.  I hope you enjoy our discussion.  Thank you for listening!

  Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  I hope hurricane Milton was the last one of the season.  I will share our experience and tips for maintaining plant based nutrition when some of life's conveniences are not possible. Some people say aging is not for the weak.  I am hear to tell you that you can write your own story.  Why is your aging style any different than your choice of clothing style or decorating style.  You get to choose.  However, it is easier to dial that style in earlier versus later.  I believe most people do not actively plan how they will age, the goal is to just be pain free.  A pain free existence may have the side effect of loss of strength and mobility.  This will ultimately lead to more and more dependance on the help of others.   What is the difference between nitrates, nitrites, and nitric oxide.  Can your body use all of these for health?  Stated another way, is bologna equal to kale in nitric oxide potential?  I hope you enjoy the episode.  I hope your aging choice is one of activity and engagement with others.  We can help you achieve your goals if you would like.  Visit https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ if interested in taking your health to the next level.  If you would like a shout out for our 500th episode email jami@doctordulaney.com Thanks for listening and supporting the show.  Support the podcast: https://patron.podbean.com/jaimeladulaneymd Questions about the practice: jami@doctordulaney.com Registered Dietitian Coaching: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training consult: natha@doctordulaney.com Water distiller: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney Plant based cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq

Welcome! and Thank You for listening.  Breast cancer awareness is more than just pink ribbons and mammogram scheduling.  It certainly is a scary diagnosis.  Nearly 1 in 9 women will get the diagnosis.  The good news is there are things we can do to prevent it and also things we can do to treat and prevent recurrence. You have a voice in your own healthcare.  We will discuss this as well as gastric cancer screening and heart failure treatment in this episode.   Confidence comes from repetition whether it is advancing from a 5k to a marathon or changing from a SAD diet to a plant strong diet.  Repetition and consistency.  That does not mean it is easy.  In fact doing hard things is what life is all about.  The reward is health and health span.  Just like training for a marathon, a coach can help you to see if you are training to hard or not hard enough.  Our practice is based on working WITH people to assess goals, problems, and therapies.  It is not a protocol or one size fits all.  I hope you enjoy the episode.  Thank you always for listening.   If you want to work with our team check out the website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Practice questions: jami@doctordulaney.com Dietary consults: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training consultation: nathan@doctordulaney.com Need a cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Water distiller: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Autoimmune diseases are often thought to be genetic.  However, there are many people with at risk DNA that never develop the disease.  DNA does not turn on by itself.  There has to be a stimulus and often it is a protein that is the trigger.  Type 1 Diabetes occurs mainly in young children and is the result of pancreatic islet cell destruction by an autoimmune process.  One's own body produces antibodies directed against the islet cells and insulin precursors.  How do we make our children less susceptible to autoimmune diseases? Is there a trigger that one can eliminate that would markedly decrease the incidence of Type 1 Diabetes?  My guest Addie Majnaric, RDN and I discuss 2 studies that suggest that there are things we can do as parents to decrease the risk of Type I Diabetes.  Family nutrition often takes a back seat when scrambling for time.  Anyone would like to avoid the stress of the breakfast table.  But are we setting our children up for chronic diseases and narrow palates?  Addie will give some inexpensive alternatives. As many as 40% of children have a chronic disease.  Why is this?  I believe  our food is a major reason.  We would love to help you navigate the muddy water of food choices and menu planning.  Email Addie Majnaric RND at addie@doctordulaney.com to schedule your consultation.  We meet people where they are and help them to navigate their way to better health.  Thank you for listening.   Practice questions: jami@doctordulaney.com Nutrition questions: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training questions: nathan@doctordulaney.com Website: https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Plant Based Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney. discount code: cleanwaterforsophie

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   It works.  It really does.  Plant based nutrition and exercise reverses lifestyle diseases and people can achieve a normal BMI.  However, it only works if you do it and do it consistently.  Congratulations  David R for achieving some major health goals.  The struggle is real but once you commit nothing can stand in your way.  Living a healthy lifestyle amongst people striving for a quick fix or plainly trying to keep you from changing is a real struggle.   My wellness practice works with people living in the real world.  Not a controlled environment. I have the opportunity to observe when people are walking the walk then fall.  It is a great learning experience for me and a potential learning experience for the person struggling.  Potential because they need to be mindful enough to see what really works versus just going through the motions of change. Each person has the ability to observe what works and what is going through the motions.  Failure is a great teacher if the student is ready.  How much do you want it? Part of the problem is defining what true health is.   The magic number is the plateau weight for men and women in the general population.  The density or energy content of food has markedly changed over the past 50 years, and so has the average weight of men and women.  Not the healthy weight, but the weight that is achieved by everyone eating similar energy packed food.  It is the new normal, but it is the new unhealthy normal.  How bad is it?  It depends if you want to support the business of medicine through pharmaceuticals and procedures.  They won't cure you or make you live longer or better but they will help you get to the next cocktail party.   If you are ready for a change, we can help.  We can show you how to live healthy and happy in an unhealthy and largely unhappy world.  Check out our website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Practice questions: jami@doctordulaney.com Dietetics: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training: nathan@doctordulaney.com Need some plant based family recipes: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Need pure water: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney.  Discount code: cleanwaterforsophie Thanks for listening.  

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  What does it mean if you are in that 25% of the population than has an abnormally high Lp(a)? Is it worth loosing sleep over?  I can assure you that will not fix the problem.  So many studies correlate numbers with potential outcomes.  It seems logical, but it often is not the case.  Just ask a 90 year old Italian with a high Lp(a).   Even worry is treated with a medication, and there is no known biochemical pathway that correlates with worry.  The treatment effect, like most psychiatric medications, is just to dull awareness.  What a great quality of life that must be.  Most people want to avoid dementia but think nothing of medications that dull your cognitive abilities.  Hence, don't operate heavy machinery which should include a car.  If they said car, less people might opt out of taking said mind dulling medications.  It all gets back to the root cause of not feeling well.  Do you have a disease or a side effect of medication.  Perhaps you are suffering from a lack of exercise induced mitochondrial dysfunction.  I hope you enjoy the rant and thank you for listening.  Fear not we can help.  Check out our website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com For dietary consultations: email addie@doctordulaney.com For strength workouts and assessments: email nathan@doctordulaney.com General inquires about the practice  email info@doctordulaney.com https://a.co/d/6zVUluq check out our plant strong cookbook https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney water distiller discounts with code cleanwaterforsophie.    

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  48% of adults carry the diagnosis of hypertension.  They are diagnosed and placed on medication usually based on protocols.  Very rarely are people assessed for why they have hypertension.  Certainly, nutrition is a large contributor to elevations in blood pressure both from excessive sodium intake and vascular damage from a high fat diet.  But the reaction to stressful situations also plays a role.  Stress is perceived by the individual and the reaction is also controlled by the individual.  The emphasis is on eliminating stress, but that is not a realistic option because it is the perception of the individual about what defines stress.  We all possess the ability to choose our reactions.  It is easier said than done but certainly beat the health consequences of ignoring the problem.   Does eating meat help with low Testosterone?  Can older women improve heart function with resistance training?  Are plant oils better than animal oils?  Is better an acceptable option?  I hope you enjoy the episode.  Thank you for listening.   Website https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Interested in a weight training plan or coaching: email info@doctordulaney.com https://a.co/d/6zVUluq https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Today I have a plant based strong man on the podcast.   Nathan Majnaric, SCCC, CSCS.  Most plant based athletes lean toward the endurance world so it is great to have the opportunity to speak with a powerlifter, strength coach, and a blue belt in jujitsu that is not only fueled by plants, but has improved on plants.  It was not a compromise but an asset to fuel plant based while continuing to advance in his chosen sports but also from a basic health standpoint. Most lifestyle diseases are a result of impaired metabolism.  Our muscles are a major user of energy, and the organelle that is the power plant of the cell is the mitochondria.  As we lose muscle mass, we lose mitochondria.  This leads to impaired energy utilization as well as the risks of falls and brain perfusion of nutrients.  Bottom line, we all need to train to maintain our muscle mass or regain muscle mass if lost through inactivity.  It can be the difference in living independently or the ability to participate actively in life.  We will discuss approaches to strength training as well as fueling for recovery.  How much and how often or is anything better than nothing are often topics of concern.  Given Nathan's diverse training experience, we feel comfortable of offering online training programs specifically designed for an individual's goal.  We will also begin to offer limited personal instruction for those with specific needs and the desire to have a someone that can interact with them to achieve a specific goal.  If you have interest, you can email the practice at info@doctordulaney.com,  nathan@doctordulaney.com, addie@doctordulaney.com or jami@doctordulaney.com for more information.  Website:https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Book: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney. discount code: cleanwaterforsophie  

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   A New England Journal of Medicine Study looked at how much energy people thought they consumed, and how much energy they actually burned.  They compared two groups of overweight individuals based on reported energy consumption.  Group one had difficulty loosing weight despite a reported 1200 kcal or less consumption of food and vigorous exercise.  There were some surprising findings and some consistent findings that I think you will find interesting.  Nutrition is one of the biggest contributors to a healthy life span yet we ignore it's significance and celebrate eating poorly.  We are made to believe that overindulgence is necessary for true happiness.  We look at food restrictions as a form of punishment.   We would like to help turn this around by promoting mindful healthy eating that is enjoyable.  We also celebrate movement to preserve lean muscle mass and mobility.  Check our our website to see what we can do to make you achieve your health goals to insure a healthy life span.  Thanks for listening Website: https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199212313272701 https://a.co/d/6zVUluq https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney  code: cleanwaterforsophie      

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  What are your health goals?  Do you have a bucket list?  My grandmother used to say that if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.  I think there is a lot of confusion between wishing we were healthy and having a plan to do something about it.  We wish there was a magic pill or supplement that would make us young, healthy, energetic, and happy.  It would be even better in the form of a gummy that tasted like candy.  Sorry, that is not an option.  I think it is important to see or imagine yourself as you would like to be, and then initiate the step to complete that journey.  It is not wishing.  It is action. I just turned 62, and I am walking and running better than I did the last half of 61.  I am working the plan to achieve my bucket list.  And as I empty the list, I am filling it up. We would be honored to help you visualize your health journey and take the steps needed to work on your bucket list.  Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com with questions.   https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/https://a.co/d/a4l5WAc https://a.co/d/a4l5WAc     Thanks for listening.  

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  When things are going well, there is a flow state.  We are in "The Zone".  Funny how it does not happen too often.  But when it does, we seem to accomplish our goals with minimal efforts.  The other times we are trouble shooting.  Try anything to make things better.  Force the right gait, the right swing, the right nutrition plan.  We buy hundreds of dollars of groceries that go to waste because we have no idea how to use them.  We try six different swing mechanics at once.  We change shoes, gait, and arm movements all at the same time. How do we stop the music! Pause. . . .  What is the frustrating event.  What are the facts and what is our mind interpreting as reality?  Pause.  Assess.  Make a decision. Follow the plan.  We would love to help you assess your frustrating events and impediments to a healthy life.  We can help you formulate a plan to achieve your desired goals and help you take the chaos out of your day to day struggles.  Email me a jami@doctordulaney.com for a free consultation.  Check out our website to see if being healthy is the choice you are ready to make.

Welcome!  Thank you for listening.   What is a whole food? What is a clean food?  Those terms are thrown around with authority and ultimately blend into just food.  If you ask most people on a diet, they will throw out that they are eating 1200 calories a day.  That seems to be the magic number that has stuck in the diet world.  Apps are available that helps one to prove a point.  They are only as good as what is entered.  I have never had a person tell me that they consumed 3000 calories in a day, but I am sure it happens on a regular basis and more often than 1200 calories.  What about the weight of food?  Does a pound of chips have the same amount of energy as a pound of potatoes?  What about a pound of carrots.   It turns out that vegetables, tubers, and fruit contain about the right amount of calories per pound for humans to consume and maintain a healthy weight.  It also turns out that we as a society do not burn near the calories as a typical hunter-gatherer society.  It is also true that men burn more calories per pound of body weight than women.   I hope you enjoy the episode.  It you would like help matching your energy consumption with your energy usage, email me at jami@doctordulaney.com.

  Welcome! and Thank you for listening.    What will you do with the results of a test? How will you react? I was very happy to see normal bones and joints on a recent CT scan of my leg, but it did not show the source of my ankle pain.  Good news! Nothing bad.  I can return to training.  It could also be interpreted as I am still in pain and don't know why.  I am taking the win and I am grateful.  It is good to exclude bad things even if you do not know exactly what the problem is.  The odds are in your favor for a good outcome.  Testing and procedures are a game of risk and reward.  Having a plan for the outcome before diving in is always a good idea.  Walking an hour a day is good, but how fast do you need to go?  However, how fast your heart rate goes up is also important.  I take a little dive into these topics as well as some tropical fruit suggestions.  Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com with questions.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. Pills, potions and procedures aimed at curing ailments. The web is full of devices and programs that promise pain relief, younger bodies, and happier lives.  Miracles by definition are not a common occurrences, yet they are promised daily.  It is hard not to give them a try.  Nothing to loose they say, but often the disappointment is not too long thereafter.  I have gone down that road as well many times.  A little glimmer of hope to a solution that is much more complicated than it originally seemed.  My latest running injury is such an example. Insoles or a shoe change for instant relief, running hard to clear the cobwebs that might be the issue, bounce house jumping to better mobility, or sand dune running perhaps.   In the end we realize there is no quick fix.  But there is the opportunity to learn and do the work it takes to really make a change.  They don't say patience is a virtue for no good reason.  Eating an plant based diet and getting stronger can only help. It is not quick, but the rewards are many.  I will share a few reasons on this podcast.   Add another box of tofu to the basket, and I hope you enjoy the podcast.  We would love to help you and your family tradition to become healthier and stronger.  Check out our website at https://doctordulaney.com/services/pcp-cardiology-nutrition/#pricing Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com Thanks for listening.  https://www.amazon.com/Plant-based-Wellness-Cookbook-Generations-Cooking/dp/1733967702/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1U4J4U0SZUXUF&dchild=1&keywords=plant+based+wellness+cookbook&qid=1621083696&sprefix=plant+based+well%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-3 https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney code: cleanwaterforsophie

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   The new word is extreme with regard to diet choice.  Moderation is out! The reality is, it was never in.  The abundance of food choices has grown making moderation only an imaginable concept.  I think it is good to always be open to change that supports your goals.  Perhaps  your goals change requiring nutritional changes, or change is needed to support your existing goals.  None the less, you need to be mindful of your why in order to achieve those goals when the going gets tough.  There is constant input for "the best" diet that has no way of knowing your nutritional needs or why.  Be aware of headlines beginning with "study shows" or "experts suggest".  It becomes a slippery slop to find what is actually behind the headlines. I think the best place to start is to clearly define your goals and the reason or why you have chosen them.  Nutrition needs change over time.  Growing children need different amounts of nutrients that adults.  Nursing and pregnant women have different needs.  So do people recovering from injury or surgeries.  The problem is that nutritional choices don't always show up immediately.  People blame high school and college sports injuries for joint pain 25 years later but never implement their nutritional choices.   Today, I reflect on my nutrition choices and how my life might have been different following a plan of moderation.  If you would like some help guiding nutritional changes to meet your health goals, check out our website at https://doctordulaney.com/services/pcp-cardiology-nutrition/#pricing Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com Thank you for listening.  https://www.amazon.com/Plant-based-Wellness-Cookbook-Generations-Cooking/dp/1733967702/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1U4J4U0SZUXUF&dchild=1&keywords=plant+based+wellness+cookbook&qid=1621083696&sprefix=plant+based+well%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-3 https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  We have been conditioned to believe that discomfort or an illness can only be fixed by a procedure or medication.  It is out of our hands.  Allopathic reductionist medicine created that concept making us dependent.  Our only hope is early detection of illnesses sure to happen.   Dementia is another issue all together.  It is all to familiar and there appears to be no stopping the progression once it starts.  That holds true for medications at least.  Early testing results in a longer period to worry about the future.  Most people believe it is genetics and bad luck.  Dean Ornish, MD recently published a randomized controlled trial showing improvement in early dementia symptoms and biomarkers using a plant based diet along with exercise and stress management.  This preliminary study is wonderful news to support a basic whole foods plant based diet.  No gimmicks or need for specialized foods.  No fancy exercise protocols.  Just basic good nutrition and movement with attention to mindfulness.   The bottom line is the more effort you make, the better the results.  Consistency is key just like in any other lifestyle change.  That is the hard part because so many people are looking for a quick fix that requires no changes on their part.  However, if you would like to take control of your healthspan, check out our website. https://doctordulaney.com/services/pcp-cardiology-nutrition/#pricing https://www.amazon.com/Plant-based-Wellness-Cookbook-Generations-Cooking/dp/1733967702/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1U4J4U0SZUXUF&dchild=1&keywords=plant+based+wellness+cookbook&qid=1621083696&sprefix=plant+based+well%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-3 https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney. code: cleanwaterforsophie https://alzres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13195-024-01482-z

What about fitness?  Improving fitness at any age will help to increase your health span which may translate into more time living an active and independent life.  This is not just for seniors because heart muscle starts to deteriorate in the early forties along with heart function.  Blood vessels stiffness while you are eating at your favorite fast food restaurant.  More worrisome news about GLp-1 agonists and the ketogenic diet.  Oh and don't believe your keto doctor if he tells you he is getting adequate fiber.  Finally, thank you to my 90 year old patients.  You have always been the most loyal and humble group of people I have had the pleasure to learn from.  As a song once said human kindness is overflowing.  I think it might rain today. https://academic.oup.com/cardiovascres/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cvr/cvae120/7687589 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/04/210421200133.htmhttps://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adm9481 https://youtu.be/_OzYJ4_ikiE?si=6ccphrap5fYkozDN https://doctordulaney.com/services/pcp-cardiology-nutrition/#pricing https://www.amazon.com/Plant-based-Wellness-Cookbook-Generations-Cooking/dp/1733967702/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1U4J4U0SZUXUF&dchild=1&keywords=plant+based+wellness+cookbook&qid=1621083696&sprefix=plant+based+well%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-3 https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney    

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  We age and our cells age.  About every three months our red blood cells turn over for example.  What happens to the old cells? How do we eliminate them?  Our immune system plays a vital role in eliminating old cells or senescent cells.  Unfortunately, our immune system also slows down so we start to accumulate these "zombie" senescent cells.  This month Nature magazine discusses new drugs and repurposed drugs to eliminate these cells.  However, these medications also have side effects and substantial costs.  Since we all age, should everyone start these medications or do we wait until there is a problem like diabetes, Alzheimers, or vascular disease?  Another alternative might be to decrease the amount of zombie cells in the first place or protect our immune system so it functions longer.   You guest it.  Nutrition and exercise play a key role as an alternative to decrease zombie cell accumulation.   Thanks for listening.   If you want help preventing zombie cell accumulation or to enhance your health span, check out our website at doctordulaney.com https://www.amazon.com/Plant-based-Wellness-Cookbook-Generations-Cooking/dp/1733967702/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1U4J4U0SZUXUF&dchild=1&keywords=plant+based+wellness+cookbook&qid=1621083696&sprefix=plant+based+well%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-3 https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaneyhttps://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-01370-4    

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   I was fortunate to go to Blue Ridge and Blairsville Georgia this past weekend to toe the line at the Cruel Jewel 50 mile ultra race.  The ultra running community are my people.  Tenacious, positive, and tremendous athletes all humble at the same time.  It did not goes as I would have wished for, but it did go for how I was trained.  I got to see where I was at a fitness level and experience some of the most beautiful and peaceful forests.  That area crosses the Appalachian trail.   People on the trail give other hikers trail names.  I had a trail angel this weekend.  I gave him the name of Russ Angel because of time he gave to rescue me and others after we pulled the white flag.  I hope you enjoy my trail tails.  It was a great weekend despite coming up short. Ultra running and life are so much alike.  You need a plan and you need to work the plan.  When it does not work, you need to adjust the plan.  The bottom line is forward progress.  Maybe not that day, but the next day it is time to get back on the journey whether it is trail or health.  If you would like some help with your health journey, visit our website to fine out how you can join our practice.  Thank you to Russ Marlowe and Sandy Geisel for your support.  Shout out to Rich and Tony and the swanky red pick-up.  Thank you to Sarah Snyder and her staff as the race director.  Like Sarah says, poor decisions make for better stories.  She is most famous for saying, try not to be an asshole.  Words to live by.  Thank you.  https://doctordulaney.com/services/pcp-cardiology-nutrition/#pricing https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney https://www.amazon.com/Plant-based-Wellness-Cookbook-Generations-Cooking/dp/1733967702/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1U4J4U0SZUXUF&dchild=1&keywords=plant+based+wellness+cookbook&qid=1621083696&sprefix=plant+based+well%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-3 

Welcome ! and Thank you for listening.  Are you planning for your decline or planning your next adventure?  That adventure might mean a great day at the beach with your grandchildren or other adventures that require you to be active and mobile.   Today's podcast will give you some insight on things that may help or hinder those plans.  Why be secluded to the sidelines when you could be an active participant in life?  In the Journal of Nature on May 2, 2024 there was an article discussing the most basic molecular changes with endurance training that affects a multitude of processes that have the potential to impact the health of the immune system, and organs such as the heart, kidneys, colon, brain and liver.  There were positive changes at the genetic level with endurance training of just 8 weeks. What are you waiting for? That was not the case with omega 3 supplements or a fat pad around the heart.   Enjoy the episode and then plan for an active future.  Need more guidance, then check our our website to see how we can guide you to your next adventure.  Thank you for listening.  https://doctordulaney.com/services/pcp-cardiology-nutrition/#pricing Https://doi.org.10.1038/s41586-023-6877-whttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/fullarticle/2816316 https://www.amazon.com/Plant-based-Wellness-Cookbook-Generations-Cooking/dp/1733967702/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1U4J4U0SZUXUF&dchild=1&keywords=plant+based+wellness+cookbook&qid=1621083696&sprefix=plant+based+well%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-3 https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney cleanwaterforsophie    

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Have you ever heard someone say, what would you tell your thirty year old self? It is something like hind sight is 20:20.  My perspective on the practice of cardiology and medicine has changed over the past 30 years because of experience but more so being able to relate to my patients life experiences.   Do you prefer to age gracefully or go full speed ahead into the unknown?  Do you remember how alive the fellas in the movie felt doing the things on their bucket list?  Do you think people even realize how bad they feel, if they can feel, on the handful of medications that they take everyday?  How do you stay young at heart while keeping your heart young?  I believe life is full of challenges, and age should not stop you from living life fully.  Doing the bucket list requires more training as we age.  Notice I did not say it requires more testing or procedures.  If you want to be excited about the possibilities ahead, listen to this episode and check our our website for information on how you can age robustly.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   Risk factors for Lifestyle diseases are increased BMI, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, sedentary lifestyle and metabolic dysfunction ranging from glucose intolerance to diabetes.  Traditionally, younger people do not get lifestyle diseases because they may either have no risk factors or only have one.  More and more younger people now have multiple risk factors in the presence of glucose intolerance.  This places them at increased risk for the early development of lifestyle diseases.   Studies claiming that cholesterol is not bad often look towards a young population with no other risk factors.  They may not manifest disease as quickly and it is assumed that they never will.  Some may not but we just don't know.  Often, we hang onto studies that support our nutritional choices even though we may not have anything in common with the study population.  Risk factors are there and cumulative.  Work on eliminating them and you might just avoid a lifestyle disease.   If you are interested in getting healthy by adopting a plant based lifestyle and daily exercise, give us a shout.  We can get you on track.   Website: https://doctordulaney.com/services/pcp-cardiology-nutrition/#pricing https://www.americaoutloud.news/avian-influenza-a-threat-to-poultry-worsened-by-vaccine-hubris/ https://www.healthday.com/health-news/cardiovascular-diseases/a-fib-more-common-in-middle-aged-folk-than-thought       https://www.amazon.com/Plant-based-Wellness-Cookbook-Generations-Cooking/dp/1733967702/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1U4J4U0SZUXUF&dchild=1&keywords=plant+based+wellness+cookbook&qid=1621083696&sprefix=plant+based+well%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-3 https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney Code: cleanwaterforsophie

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   My favorite lunch is a salad, and not the same salad every day.  I like to change things up.  Restaurants know that a salad is not exciting so they spruce it up with high calorie toppers and dressings.  Often, they have more calories than a sandwich and fries.  But, you can still tell the doctor, you just had a salad for lunch.  I will let you in on my salad secrets on this episode.  I will also give you a some more reasons to lace up your shoes and start walking.  Finally, I will finish with the controversial topic of Vitamin D.  Check out the website to up your health gain with membership opportunities and sign up for our newsletter and blogposts.  Thanks for listening. 

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   This is the weekend of the Masters Golf Tournament.  To begin there was an honorary start with Tee shots by Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tom Watson.  Gary is the oldest at 88.  He was the most spry and energetic.  As a student of the game of golf, I would like to share my takes on the sport and how it relates to health.  I believe Gary Player is an outlier, and here is why.  If you would like to become a healthy golfer,  check out the practice website below.   https://doctordulaney.com/services/pcp-cardiology-nutrition/#pricing https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney code for discount: Cleanwaterforsophie https://www.amazon.com/Plant-based-Wellness-Cookbook-Generations-Cooking/dp/1733967702/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1U4J4U0SZUXUF&dchild=1&keywords=plant+based+wellness+cookbook&qid=1621083696&sprefix=plant+based+well%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-3
