Podcasts about colectomy

It's no surprise that the Mediterranean diet was ranked as the best overall diet by U.S. News & World Report for the eighth year in a row. This style of eating focuses more on fueling your body with the right foods and enjoying healthy meals with others rather than following a restrictive plan.  Listen to the latest episode of The Healthiest You podcast, where we talk about the Mediterranean diet with dietitian Alexa Roseberry with Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN), part of Jefferson Health.  Can following the Mediterranean diet make you live longer? What if you don't like fish and you aren't a fan of vegetables? How can you make healthier choices going out to eat? Which one is better – the Mediterranean diet or the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet? Are there ways to stop the post-lunch slump? We answer these questions and more on The Healthiest You podcast this month.Chapters:     · 0:01 - Intro     · 1:13 - About the Mediterranean diet     · 3:54 - Mediterranean diet pyramid     · 6:41 - Meals with others     · 10:05 - If you don't like fish or vegetables     · 12:01 - Healthy fats     · 17:14 - Meal ideas     · 18:49 - Snack ideas     · 21:12 - Dessert ideas     · 24:41 - Budget and meal planning tips     · 30:48 - Live longer on the Mediterranean diet     · 34:54 - Daily fiber intake     · 35:32 - Mediterranean diet and PCOS     · 36:42 - DASH diet vs. Mediterranean diet     · 38:52 - High-protein, low-carb diet     · 41:26 - Nutrition tips if you've had a colectomy and have an ileostomy      · 44:03 - Gaining strength back after surgery     · 47:45 - Signs you're not eating enough protein     · 49:44 - How to make healthier choices at restaurants      · 52:38 - Stop the post-lunch slump     · 54:30 - Nutrition advice

EPISODE 71 SYNOPSIS    Bubbles the Colectomy Clown Woks the Dog    Just remember: We're professional haters. Don't try this at home.     Also, we might be “sniggling, small, solace-less creatures,” but we're the experts you come to in a loathing pinch. Then again, some listeners are a little less than satisfied with the services we offer. “If I saw you in person, I would slap your vain, self-absorbed faces. F off and die, you complete and total—!”    Special guest Carla from Burnt Korn, Alabama, is quick to note that at least you can't attach a pipe bomb to fan mail.    Sound engineer Pauly from Bali gets us back on track with a happy memory, of sorts. A few years back, when his dear madre had her colon removed, he hired Bubbles the Clown to show up in the hospital and hand out colorectal balloons to all the patients on the floor. Folks, hate or love, it's all in the delivery.    Speaking of colons… Co-host Arik has a beef with the English language: “People need to stop using the word FOR so loosely.” He points to a local hospital butterfly release event “FOR” colon cancer. “Why can't we just say butterflies AGAINST colon cancer. And I have to wonder about holding insects against their will so that their beauty can bring awareness to a diseased human orifice.”    Also, it's Pauly's birthday. He's sick and tired of birthday cake. “It's cake FOR colon cancer. And I don't want anal cancer for my birthday, thank you. Honestly, can't we think of anything better to stick a lit candle in to celebrate me?”    Eventually, Team THN gets to the heart of the matter. Here's the deal. It's SOMEONE ELSE'S birthday. So why not ask Diabetic Dan if there's a treat he would like to celebrate this special moment that won't land him in a hospital with Bubbles the Colectomy Clown trying to extract a lodestone of icing from his GI tract.     Finally, Arik ponders the mysteries of modern medicine. “Isn't the colon a hole? I mean, how does one remove a hole?”    Carla heads online: “Here, I found a YouTube DIY video. Apparently all you need is some balloons, heavy cream and a world-class health insurance plan.”    Leave a voicemail of something you hate:    https://anchor.fm/thehatenapkin/message    Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thehatenapkin/support    See all episodes: www.thehatenapkin.com/category/episodes/  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thehatenapkin/support

Tommy tells his story of breaking his back and then later being diagnosed with Colon Cancer and having a full Colectomy.  The focus is God is a healer of the Spirit, Soul and Body Tommy grew up in a military family. He was born in Australia and lived in three continents by the time he was five years old.  He loves the study of martial arts and tells his story how his identity was in “what” he could do instead of “who” he really is when everything has been stripped from you.  I am so inspired by this man and his powerful story.  He went from a strong young man with big dreams, to falling off a roof then being diagnosed with colon cancer.  You've got to hear his GOD STORY!   Tommy has an amazing wife and two wonderful children.    Tommy and I had a great conversation about getting things in alignment from the thoughts, the soul, the spirit and the body!; It's important to understand and know that God is with us and Jesus came to give us an abundant life so we could walk out healing and wholeness in our spirit, soul and body.   You have got to hear this podcast and don't forget to SHARE SHARE SHARE.

It’s common for people with IBD to look online for patients who have a similar disease journey to their own. For men, however, there are fewer places to find such a peer because there are not as many men in the IBD influencer space as there are women. That’s where Rasheed Clarke, author of Three Tablets Twice Daily, blogger, and ulcerative colitis and j-pouch patient steps in. Hear Rasheed contrast how his running career is different before and after j-pouch surgery, his thoughts on being one of the few male voices in the online IBD community, how we can encourage more men to share their journey, and the wild and wonderful thing he did with a toilet for World IBD Day in 2017.
