However, outcomes in CLL are improving with the availability of non-chemotherapy options with fewer toxicities. Fixed-duration therapy has emerged as an even more attractive approach for the frontline treatment of CLL and is associated with mild toxicities, improved treatment adherence and monitoring, and reduced financial burden. Embark on a journey through this educational series to achieve a better understanding of the rationale and supporting clinical data for fixed-duration therapy, monitoring strategies, the role of MRD-guided treatment selection, and approaches to overcome relapsed/refractory CLL.

This week, Dr. Kahn packs a lot of practical information on health and longevity into this "pea-cast." He discusses the longevity plan of Dr. Michael Roizen, a well-known physician and author, including his regular use of the Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet (www.prolonfmd.com/drkahn). Another study examines the lifestyle habits of the ultra-elderly in China, showing that it matters even at that age to adhere to healthy habits. The importance of mitral annular calcification (MAC) is also presented. Additionally, two controversial topics—cholesterol levels and mortality, as well as protein intake and kidney disease—are discussed. The major topic is the importance of Lipoprotein(a) genetic cholesterol levels and disease progression, both in the coronary arteries and on the aortic valve. You do not want to miss this discussion of great importance for all.

Dr. Elie Jarrouge is a returning guest on our show! Check out his first appearance on episode 133 of Boundless Body Radio! Dr. Elie Jarrouge is a medically trained hospitalist and had worked in hospital medicine from 2013 until 2022, when he started working at his own practice full-time. Dr. Jarrouge has seen firsthand the advanced complications of chronic metabolic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, NAFLD, heart disease, stroke, dementia, and autoimmune disease. After watching conventional treatments for chronic disease fail his patients for many years, and after suffering from his own health issues, he decided to do his own research and blaze his own path. He realized that the treatment is not more pills but rather fix the root cause, which revolves around food. He eventually used a low carbohydrate lifestyle with his own health to lose 35 Ibs, reverse his hypertension and insulin resistance, and cure his lower back pain. He now helps people reclaim their health by coaching them through lifestyle changes and helps deprescribe medications. He currently practices medicine remotely via telemedicine!

In this episode of the Healthy, Wealthy, and Smart podcast, host Dr. Karen Litzy is joined by Dr. Mani Kukreja (MD, MPH, IIN), Entrepreneur and Founder of Integrative Health and Wellness Practice Livagewell, to discuss the hot topic of aging well. Dr. Kukreja shared her personal journey from conventional medicine to a more holistic approach, driven by her own experience with Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroiditis. She emphasized the importance of addressing the root causes of diseases rather than just treating symptoms. We discussed the multifaceted nature of aging, which Dr. Kukreja defines as a progressive decline in biological functions leading to increased disease risk and reduced lifespan. She debunked the myth that aging is solely determined by genetics, highlighting that lifestyle and environmental factors play a significant role. Dr. Kukreja provided valuable insights into the processes of oxidation, inflammation, and detoxification in our bodies, explaining how they contribute to aging and the onset of age-related diseases. She stressed that while we cannot stop aging, we can certainly influence how we age by managing these biological processes.

“I haven't had any medical people tell me that I shouldn't go all out,” says our protagonist in this episode, Nordic John. He's 80 years young but still competing internationally in cross-country skiing despite the onset of Parkinson's disease a decade ago. “That is really effective when you push yourself to the limit.” Our expert guest, Dr. Jerry Vitek, Head of Neurology at the University of Minnesota Medical School, confirms John's experience. “Exercise is one of the best things we can do and recommend to our patients.” Nordic John's wife, Gina, attests that John is no stranger to the vigorous challenge of cross country skiing. John directed the Nordic Skiing Program at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center in Vermont for decades. And both attended the 2023 Master's World Cup of Skiing in Austria. “I just need to get him to the start line because then when the gun goes off he just knows what to do,” she explains. That means Nordic John's muscle memory for skiing remains intact despite the onset of other symptoms, such as tremors and loss of balance. “There's no question that when you start to become proficient at something, you've clearly changed those connections and strengthened them,” confirms Dr. Vitek. We'll also hear from Coach Ollie, who has taken over John's former position at the Craftsbury Center yet now directs John at his Master's practices. And we'll learn about the important role played by the actor Michael J. Fox and his foundation in raising $1 billion for Parkinson's research so far. How do John and Gina fare in disappointing snow conditions at the Master's World Cup? What important research is on the horizon for the many millions of Parkinson's patients worldwide?

He challenges popular notions about ketogenic diets and emphasizes the importance of glucose as the brain's preferred fuel. Drawing from his experiences and studies, Blake underscores the potential benefits of certain dietary choices in alleviating symptoms and, in early stages, even reversing the progression of these diseases. #BrainHealth #DietAndDisease #NeuroWellness
Episode 106 -Preventing Periodontal Disease Progression with Closed Root Planing This podcast explains how using a periodontal curette to perform closed root planing can prevent the progression of periodontal disease and bone loss in pets. It describes how to identify abnormal bleeding pockets around teeth and use the curette to remove inflamed tissue and allow connective tissue reattachment. Charging for closed root planing procedures can improve quality of care and prevent extractions. Love Veterinary Dentistry?
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based form of therapy that has been in use for decades. My guest in this episode believes that CBT can be applied to create better therapeutics, and, in fact, that's exactly what his company is called: Better Therapeutics. Dr. Mark Berman, the Chief Medical Officer at Better Therapeutics, explained that the goal of CBT is to “help people change some of those core beliefs, which then directly influence what we do on a day to day basis.” And while CBT was originally applied to help people with conditions like PTSD, anxiety and depression, the team at Better Therapeutics have developed their own variant of CBT to apply the core principles of CBT to the ideas that drive root behaviors like diet, exercise and other supportive lifestyle behaviors. Tune into this episode to hear how Better Therapeutics are creating new digital treatments to reverse the progression of cardiometabolic disease, improve quality of life and inform clinical decisions. In this episode, we cover: Patient experience using digital therapeutics for type 2 diabetes Nutritional CBT – Better Therapeutics innovative new form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Why companies are opting to create Prescription Digital Therapies rather than self-managed lifestyle apps What's next in the Better Therapeutics pipeline and how these decisions are made The future of Digital Therapeutic infrastructure Guest Links and Resources: Connect with Mark Berman on LinkedIn | Twitter Visit bettertx.com Host Links: Connect with Eugene Borukhovich: Twitter | LinkedIn Connect with Chandana Fitzgerald, MD: Twitter | LinkedIn Connect with YourCoach.health: Website | Twitter Check out Shot of Digital Health with Eugene and Jim Joyce: Website | Podcast App HealthXL: Website | Twitter | Join an Event Season 2 of Digital Therapeutics Podcast would not be possible without the support of leading DTx organizations.

James McCullough, CEO of Renalytix, is focused on preventive care for those most likely to get chronic kidney disease. Diagnostics and risk assessment of patients earlier in the disease cycle emphasize maintaining kidney health rather than managing complications from late-stage kidney disease and kidney failure. Using a machine-learning algorithm to look at blood-based biomarkers and EMR data, the KidneyIntelX system provides the clinician with a risk score and guidelines for treatment. James elaborates, "There are five stages of kidney disease. We're focused on the early stages, so stages 1 through 3, before the majority of damage is done to the kidney. When you have therapeutic intervention, lifestyle intervention, you get specialist involvement, you have a pretty good shot at slowing or stopping the progression of the disease into the later stages, stages 4 and 5, where your options start to become limited." "With KidneyIntelX now, for the first time, we can start to see risk assessment taking place at the front end of the chronic disease with the primary care doctor. If you score high by KidneyIntelX, you are roughly 20 times more likely to experience significant kidney function decline over the next five years versus if you score low by KidneyIntelX. The stratification, for the first time, becomes a very powerful tool that we can implement very simply at the primary care level, where most people with early-stage kidney disease and diabetes are being seen." "This is an advanced prognosis. Prognosis is the key to controlling chronic disease, especially widespread chronic disease because you can't treat everybody. We know that probably close to half the people with kidney disease and diabetes aren't progressing over the next few years. The real question becomes because there are so many people with diabetes and kidney disease. and healthcare resources are limited, who do you treat? Who should you be concerned about now to be able to give drug treatments, specialist referrals, and significant lifestyle modifications?" @Renalytix #KidneyDisease #KidneyHealth #DIgitalHealth #AI #MachineLearning #Diagnostics renalytix.com Listen to the podcast here

In this episode, CJ Walker, also known as the Genetic Diabetic, speaks about LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood), a condition often misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes. CJ shares her personal experience with being misdiagnosed and ultimately diagnosed with LADA and discusses the key things to know about this condition. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in learning more about LADA and how it differs from other types of diabetes. Listeners will gain valuable insights into this lesser-known form of diabetes and learn how to recognize the symptoms and seek appropriate care.LADA: The Diabetes That Falls in BetweenLADA, or Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood, is a condition that is often misdiagnosed. Some people call it type 1.5 diabetes, as it shares characteristics of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. LADA is a form of diabetes caused by an autoimmune response that attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This results in gradually losing insulin production, leading to high blood sugar levels.One of the key differences between type 2 diabetes and LADA is the age of onset. Type 2 diabetes typically occurs in adults over the age of 45, while LADA can occur at any age but is most commonly diagnosed in adults between the ages of 30 and 50. Additionally, LADA is more common in people who are not overweight or obese, while type 2 diabetes is often associated with obesity.Advocating for Diabetes: A Never-Ending FightDiabetes is a chronic illness that requires constant advocacy; this is especially true for those with LADA, a form of diabetes that is often misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes. CJ shares her experience of being misdiagnosed with type 2 diabetes and her frustration with ineffective treatments. It was only after advocating for herself and doing her research that CJ could receive a proper diagnosis of LADA. CJ highlights the need for individuals with diabetes to be proactive in their healthcare and not be afraid to speak up and ask questions.LADA: The Autoimmune Diabetes That Needs Careful ManagementLADA, a form of diabetes with an autoimmune origin, involves the immune system attacking healthy tissues and cells. Unlike type 1 diabetes, LADA progresses slowly and is often diagnosed in adulthood. To preserve pancreatic function and insulin production, it is important to manage LADA by minimizing stress on the pancreas. This includes avoiding processed sugars and refined flour that can trigger insulin surges. While an ultra-low-carb or keto diet isn't required, it's essential to be mindful of food choices and their impact on blood sugar levels.Key Takeaways:[00:21] LADA, Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood[04:14] Type 1.5 diabetes diagnosis[08:27] Autoimmune conditions and proper diagnosis[14:39] Managing diabetes takes decision-making[16:39] Hormonal differences in diabetes[21:09] Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults[25:03] Managing LADA with medications[29:14] Diabetes support and resourcesResources:Website: https://thegeneticdiabeticblog.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thegeneticdiabetic/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegeneticdiabeticblog/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegeneticdiabeticblog/ Support the show
