See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog My goal for BioBalance Health® is to guide my patients to live a healthier life by offering them the newest preventive treatments, and safest hormone treatment available. My patients make an appointment with me and Dr. Sullivan for help with their current symptoms of aging and hormonal treatment to replace their missing hormones.  They also receive a plan for unique preventive lifestyle changes to assist them in continuing their lives in health. But first, I believe that treating the symptoms of aging is the first thing on the agenda, and those symptoms are treated by replacing the hormones that disappear with age, testosterone, estradiol and often thyroid hormone. These symptoms are classic and appear within a short period of time, together: This is a combined list of symptoms of Testosterone and Estradiol loss for women after age 38, combined with loss of Testosterone in men after age 50.   Symptoms of loss of Testosterone and Estradiol   ·      Loss of normal youthful body, muscle and shape ·      Loss of sex drive ·      Infrequent or absent orgasms ·      Fatigue ·      Depression   or Anxiety ·      Insomnia ·      Memory loss/ Difficulty thinking ·      Loss of motivation ·      New migraine headaches ·      Decreased muscle mass ·      Joint aches/ arthritis ·      Dry eyes   ·      Loss of balance ·      ED in men (men) ·      Poor or decreased ejaculation (men)   ·      Increased belly fat Loss of waistline ·      Weight gain   ·      Cellulite ·      Ringing in the ears   ·      Dry vagina (women) ·      Painful intercourse (women) My patients frequently tell me that they feel so good after getting their first testosterone pellets that they wish they would have come to see me years before because they have been suffering and now their symptoms are improved or gone. They also comment on how great their sex life is, their improved stamina to walk, play golf or run and how much younger they look! That is the enjoyable part of my practice. Replacing these hormones gives my patients their lives back and gives them their energy back so they can make changes in their lives to keep themselves healthy to avoid the diseases of aging. The Diseases of Aging are these: Cancer Type II Diabetes Arthritis Heart Attack Stroke Dementia, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's disease Osteoporosis Frailty, inability to walk or climb stairs Immune deficiency Autoimmune diseases Depression and anxiety We find that we get great results with one or two hormones, but because we are preventive medicine doctors and hormone replacement doctors we are not just interested in your current condition and symptoms, but we are concerned about the diseases you are at risk to get when you get “old”.  We then go over your family history of diseases with you and use it to determine what you are at risk for. Let me say that family history is only ½ of your risk factor because each parent only carries 1/2 of the genes you own. This means that your risk is usually watered down by the relative who has the disease, and your risk usually goes up if two relatives on opposite sides of the family have the same disease. Even though we use family history as an estimate of your risk for diseases in the future it is not very specific or accurate.  The information your family tells you about their history may not be accurate for the real diseases your parents and grandparents had.  My family history is a good example of bad information in an individual's medical history: I thought I was at risk for Adult-Onset Diabetes because my grandfather on my father's side and my grandmother on my mother's side had Type II Diabetes. I was worried since medical school that I would eventually get AODM too. When I had my genetics done, I found that I had 4/5 genes that foretell obesity, but NO DIABETES genes! This changed my approach to my own health from avoiding carbs totally, to losing weight until I was at ideal weight.   In case you don't know it, almost all obese people develop Type II Diabetes eventually. If they don't change their lifestyle soon enough and lose weight as well as get the proper nutrition it is in their future. Diabetes is a disease that will follow them through their lives, putting them at risk for other diseases like cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, dementia of all kinds, arthritis, and joint deterioration needing joint replacements. This list includes the most common causes of death. So the moral of the story is, my family history didn't tell me what I was going to be at risk for!  You can plan your healthy living plan based on your family history, or you can get your own genetics done to tell you what you are at risk for based on your genes, OR you can just clean up your lifestyle, receive your hormone replacement using the safest delivery system (pellets) and begin a healthy lifestyle as soon as possible. Get real information based on your individual situation now with blood work and add your genetics or family history to help motivate you to get healthier. Changing your lifestyle is the hardest thing you can do so getting expert advice from a physician, and then follow it.  Look for a doctor who will help keep you motivated to follow your healthy living plan and do your half of the path to health and healthy aging without disease.   Please join me, Dr. Kathy Maupin, BioBalance Health® next time when we outline a plan for health and longevity to avoid the pain and disability of aging.

For most of his life, D.J. Jones struggled to maintain a healthy lifestyle. After being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, nearly losing his eyesight, and suffering a stroke, D.J. knew he had a choice to make: change or die. It wasn't until D.J. realized that most of what he knew about dieting was not true that he began to see real change. Today, D.J. is living diabetes-free and is committed to helping others disrupt the landscape of adult-onset diabetes to lead happy, healthy lives.  According to D.J., one in three Americans is either diabetic or pre-diabetic. This is largely due to the culture America has adopted around eating. Not only do we eat high levels of sugar and carbohydrates, but many of the healthy alternatives sold to us are filled with chemicals that cause disease. Like most people, D.J. thought his diabetes diagnosis was a chronic life-long condition. After properly educating himself, D.J. learned that the disease could actually be reversed by reframing his lifestyle. Not only did D.J. lose weight, lower his blood pressure, and get rid of his diabetes, but he has also been the catalyst for change in his family.  Tune into this week's episode of Southern Soul Live Stream for an honest conversation about the diabetes epidemic. Learn more about the science behind diabetes, the truth behind diet culture, and the importance of making positive lifestyle choices, so you can prevent disease and increase your quality of life.    Quotes • “Diabetes is not a chronic progressive condition. You can control it and you can turn it around by changing your lifestyle.” (05:50-06:03)  • “I believe that one of the reasons I was put here on this earth is to be what I like to call a wounded healer. All of the struggles and things that I've gone through, God is using to provide deliverance for other people.” (10:02-10:18) • “The received wisdom that we get from the medical profession, tells us. things that are counterproductive to having a healthy life.” (12:21:12:30) • “The things that I thought I was doing to help myself were actually serving as a hindrance.” (17:45-17:51) • “Too many Americans have long lifespans but don't have good health spans. They take a bunch of pills in order to keep them alive, but those pills don't help give them a good quality of life.” (24:03-24:16) • “More than 120 million people in this country alone are either diabetic or pre-diabetic.” (24:24-24:30) • “If your mama and your doctors aren't giving you good advice, after a while you will give in to the messages that you're inundated with from the people who want to sell you tacos, burgers, pizza, and fried chicken.” (42:21-42:45) • “Don't preach to your family because they are going to tune you out. You just have to be an avatar for the change you want to see happen with your family.” (43:34-43:45) • “A standard serving of soda used to be a nine-ounce can. And then it went to 12 ounces. And now most places when you go to get a meal, they serve your soda in a container that is as big as 48 ounces.” (47:27-47:52)   Links Connect with D.J.

1-888-454-8464 - askthedoc@healthyinformation.com - https://healthyinformation.com/diabetes-and-hypoglycemia/ Managing Diabetes & Hypoglycemia Revised 2021, Copyright K. Steven Whiting If someone were to ask you what the most epidemic disease of the so-called ‘civilized' world was, what would be your answer? Cancer? Cancer is certainly the most feared of modern-day diseases. You might choose Heart Disease. This condition still kills more people around the world than any other single cause. Yet, neither of these conditions is the most epidemic. When we refer to an epidemic, we mean a disease or condition which is on the rapid rise and is spreading with unusual speed. Adult Onset Diabetes or Type II Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes, is the epidemic of the twentieth century, and now into the twenty first. It is rising in numbers faster than all other chronic degenerative diseases combined and promises to be an even greater problem in this new century. Diabetes is so common that almost everyone knows someone who has the disease. According to the National Institutes of Health, there are about 12 million diagnosed diabetics in America and it is estimated that there are at least that many more un-diagnosed cases. According to 1997 statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Diabetes Division, 798,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. That amounts to one new case being diagnosed every 30 seconds! Currently, 14.3 percent of all adults in the U.S have type II diabetes and 38 percent have prediabetes, bringing the total to 52.3 percent – over half the population! This epidemic has occurred in only the last 40 years. To make matters worse, each year tens of thousands of diabetic Americans lose their eyesight, compromise their circulation, suffer irreversible heart damage, and/or require the amputation of a lower limb. Each year, many of these people die prematurely due to Diabetes. Of all these cases of Diabetes, ninety percent of them are the Adult-onset, Type II variety. Only ten percent are the genetically induced Type I Juvenile- Onset version. The saddest part about these statistics is the fact that Adult-Onset, Type II diabetes, is completely controllable and very often reversible WITHOUT the need for dangerous drugs, or worse yet, the misuse of insulin. Type II Diabetes is, almost exclusively, caused by dietary abuse. It steals a long and healthy life from millions and millions of people. We will examine the cause, progression, and reversal methods of this needless, chronic disease. Even more common in occurrence is Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. It is frequently the precursor to Adult-Onset Type II Diabetes. If left unchecked, Hypoglycemia can devastate the lives of its victims. They are left with a better than a nine-to-one chance of progressing to Diabetes later in life. This condition, like Diabetes, is completely dietary induced and can be controlled. Let's find out how. Hypoglycemia: The Undiagnosed Disorder For many decades, Hypoglycemia was both shunned and denied by the mainstream medical profession. Millions of people went to their physicians with a long list of debilitating symptoms, only to be told that their symptoms were psychological in nature. These patients were also advised to seek psychiatric help if their symptoms persisted. This ‘misdiagnosis' only led these people to further and further desperation. Many of them even resorted to such drastic measures as suicide. This, in turn, further fueled the argument that these people were suffering from a mental disorder.

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog/ Three recent studies have shown a new light on treatments for diabetes. This group of research discoveries teaches us how to improve the severity of diabetes through several changes in diet and medication choices. One study discovered that a simple food addition to your diet can lower the risk of complicating illnesses and death from diabetes. The second study reveals the fact that statins increase the risk of getting Type II Diabetes just by taking a particular cholesterol lowering medication.  The third study found that select diabetic medications are effective at preventing heart disease in diabetics.  Join us to learn what you can do to help you, or someone you love, avoid diabetes and the complications from diabetes. Diabetes is a disease that is rapidly becoming the most common and dangerous disease of aging Americans.  The increase in obesity, the switch from whole food to junk food and fast-food and lack of active lifestyles, has contributed to the development of Adult-Onset Diabetes in almost half of all Americans.  Now that our society is flooded with citizens who have high blood sugars that cause heart disease, stroke, infections and increase the risk of cancer, what are we to do?  The first medical study recommends a simple diet change to those MEN (and possibly women) who already have diabetes, to prevent Adult-Onset Diabetes.  A study done at Stratton Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center in Albany, NY revealed that just one cup of blueberries daily, fresh, frozen or freeze-dried, significantly decreased triglycerides in the men tested who followed this recommendation.  It is widely known that elevated triglycerides increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in diabetic men, and one cup of blueberries daily lowered triglycerides and the risk of cardiovascular disease.  I believe that this diet recommendation can work for women as well, but they only tested men. The previous research gave Diabetics a simple way to lower their risk of getting heart disease by eating one readily available food!   Our next study reveals how doctors can prevent their patients from developing diabetes in the first place, beyond the strategies of achieving ideal weight, exercise, and eating a low carbohydrate diet?  A study done recently revealed the fact that taking statins for high cholesterol increased the risk for elevated blood sugars, HBA1C and triglycerides in patients who weren't diabetic and could cause Type II Diabetes!  As with most meds, all statins are not the same. The cholesterol medication, Crestor ®, is the least likely to have this side effect, however it is better to take an alternate drug that lowers cholesterol called Zetia® if it is strong enough to lower these blood fats enough. Zetia® is not a statin, and It doesn't cause any of the side effects that statins do, including raising your blood sugar, because it works in a completely different way than statins. If you have gotten diabetes since starting your statin then ask your doctor to switch your medication to Crestor®, Zetia®, or try normalizing your sex hormones and triglycerides through diet or by taking diabetic medications like Metformin®., which will lower your LDL cholesterol as well, without a statin! At BioBalance Health® we are able to get patients off statins all the time by replacing testosterone with pellets, lowering body fat, treating patient's AODM with Metformin, and normalizing thyroid hormones.  This is Dr. Maupin's secret weapon for treating patients with a high risk for vascular disease, who have high LDL cholesterol and or Triglycerides…Testosterone pellet therapy! Last but not least is a study from the June 2020 Endocrine News that gives us hope for a new classification of diabetic drug that lowers cardiac risk and all vascular causes of morbidity!  This class of drug is called SGLT2 Inhibitors, specifically Invocana® and Farxiga®.  These two drugs lower glucose by increasing sugar in the urine to get it out of your system.  This is how it works to treat the intended disease of Adult-onset Diabetes, but recently it has been found to prevent a common outcome of diabetes, cardiovascular disease!  Specifically, it lowered the rate of heart failure by 35% in diabetics.   Dr. Maupin has always started AODM patients on Metformin® for the past 18 years to lower blood sugar, sensitize diabetics to insulin which helps them lose weight and lower their blood sugar, and to make the other diabetic drugs they are taking, more effective.  It is inexpensive, generic, very effective, and has few side effects if a patient follows a low carbohydrate diet. The Endocrine Society guidelines, that rule the actions of Endocrinologists, changed this year: Pre-diabetes and early noncomplicated diabetes first with Metformin®. Patients with established AODM and atherosclerotic heart disease and kidney disease should be placed on SGLT2 Inhibitor like Invokana®, or the drugs like Victoza®, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. The experts in treating Adult-Onset Diabetes, Endocrinologists, are considering the use of Metformin ® for diabetic and non-diabetic patients alike, who have kidney disease, and heart disease without diabetes to improve these diseases as well.  If you have these complications to diabetes, or have these diseases but do not have AODM, ask your doctor about these new uses for this old drug. The most important part of this message is for individuals to prevent diabetes if at all possible, with lifestyle changes low carbohydrate diet and daily exercise, however some people get diabetes anyway because of their genetic makeup.  You can easily have a cup of blueberries every day to prevent heart disease if you do have diabetes, and then change your statin to Crestor® or Zetia®, and yes to the appropriate diabetic medications plus Metformin® to save you from having a heart attack, heart failure or stroke.   All of these recommendations for medications should be discussed with your doctor, who knows you best.  If they have not read these new studies or find that this research is not going to help you then always follow the advice of your diabetes doctor.

Her 18 year journey with Diabetes began with a jolt. She recounts leaving the diabetic teaching class and not wanting to eat anything! All she had was a childhood memory of an aunt who would bake them the most decadent cakes but she dare not enjoy them herself because "her sugar" had already begun to stake it's claim on her eyesight and it was trying desperately to see what other organ systems it could claim. But as Donna understood more and more how the body works, and how food is fuel she has managed her diabetes for 18 years now and she is helping others to connect the dots of the role diet and exercise has and in turn she is helping them to live more optimal lives.

Recent studies project the number of people in the U.S. with diabetes will double to 44.1 million by 2034. Allen M. Spiegel, M.D., the Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz Dean and former director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases describes the proactive measures needed to tackle the diabetes epidemic and reduce human suffering and healthcare costs.

Adults with diabetes experience a slowdown in several types of mental processing, which appears early in the disease and persists into old age, according to new research. Given the sharp rise in new cases of diabetes, this finding means that more adults may soon be living with mild but lasting deficits in their thought processes. Researchers [...]Click here to play
