Cholesterol isn't bad for your heart, contrary to what you may have heard.Doctors have gotten it wrong about cholesterol in the past. The guidelines have changed, but we still get stuck on old information. Why have you been told to avoid saturated fault? Because of cholesterol. You've been told cholesterol causes heart disease. Wrong. You need cholesterol for vitamin D production, sex hormones and brain health. This focus on cholesterol has lead to the over-prescription of statins. In many cases, you can improve heart health without these drugs. Statins are mildly anti-inflammatory but carry many side effects. Fish oil can reduce inflammation and has no negative side effects. Citrus bergamot lowers triglycerides and inflammation and raises HDL cholesterol (the "good" kind). Cholesterol is far more complicated than the two categories established decades ago. Particle testing is more reliable for getting an accurate picture of your own cholesterol. Of course, your cholesterol numbers won't determine your risk for heart disease. It's more important to reduce your inflammatory risk by improving your diet and helping your gut microbiome than to worry about cholesterol. Listen as Dr. Jonny Bowden joins Dr. Mike Fenster to preach the gospel of cholesterol. Sponsor: Real Salt - Is Your Salt Real?

Find out what may be causing your digestive issues with grains and how to improve your nutrition.Digestive problems are rampant. This has spurned a multi-billion dollar gluten-free industry.There are two reasons we have trouble digesting hard-to-digest foods: Processed foods designed to replace cholesterol in the 1960s are indigestible fats. They congest the liver and gallbladder, our kingpins of digestion. 400 billion pounds of toxic chemicals are dumped into the American environment every year. Toxins and pesticides are designed to kill bacteria. This is eliminating necessary participants in the gut microbiome and reducing the ability to digest wheat and other foods. If you can't digest well, you can't detoxify very well either. Grains and nuts require specific microbes to be broken down. These foods stimulate and irritate the intestinal tract to trigger an immune response. Eliminating hard-to-digest wheat and nuts can compromise the immune system.Are we sterilizing our environment by removing these components that stimulate the gut?Processed wheat has a higher glycemic index than whole wheat. It also contributes to abdominal fat, obesity, higher blood sugar, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Whole wheat can help you lose weight, reduce risk of diabetes and improve cognitive function.Gluten in bread was not intended to be digested exclusively in the stomach. A significant portion should be broken down in the large intestine. That is where it feeds microbes that stimulate fatty acids, boosting immunity and doing the heavy lifting for everything in the body.If the body can't process gluten properly from a weakened digestive system, the molecules are too big to enter the bloodstream and feed the body. These large gluten molecules get taken into the body via the intestinal wall, congesting the lymphatic system.One solution? Look for unbleached, organic, whole grain wheat that hasn't been fortified with anything.Also, eat foods that are tougher on the system in the middle of the day... not right away in the morning or at night. Relax while you eat. Save your heavy bread consumption for winter. The gut bacteria has seasonal changes for digestion. Eat seasonally. Be kind to your digestive system.Listen in as Dr. John Douillard shares how to aid your digestion. Sponsor: Real Salt  - Is Your Salt Real?

Divide grams of sugar by four. That tells you how many spoons of sugar are in one serving of the food. Make the decision to put it back if it isn't worth it for you. Consuming whole fruits instead of juices is a great way to enjoy something sweet but with a lower sugar price tag. Second, understand that 140 pounds of sugar per person are being added to processed foods in America every year. Processed foods contribute to many chronic health conditions. Mind your health. If you feel well, you should be able to consume sugar in moderation. Sugar Addiction If you have to ask yourself if you're addicted to sugar, you probably are. Are you compelled to eat sugar, or do you just have some from time to time for pleasure? Take two weeks off from sugar and see how you feel. You should be able to have two bites of dessert to satisfy your taste buds. Share the rest of the dessert or walk away from it. Being mindful while eating sugar allows you to taste and enjoy. Be present with your food. Listen as Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum joins Dr. Mike Fenster to discuss sugar consumption and addiction. Sponsor: Real Salt - Is Your Salt Real?

Cholesterol isn't bad for your heart, contrary to what you may have heard.Doctors have gotten it wrong about cholesterol in the past. The guidelines have changed, but we still get stuck on old information. Why have you been told to avoid saturated fault? Because of cholesterol. You've been told cholesterol causes heart disease. Wrong. You need cholesterol for vitamin D production, sex hormones and brain health. This focus on cholesterol has lead to the over-prescription of statins. In many cases, you can improve heart health without these drugs. Statins are mildly anti-inflammatory but carry many side effects. Fish oil can reduce inflammation and has no negative side effects. Citrus bergamot lowers triglycerides and inflammation and raises HDL cholesterol (the "good" kind). Cholesterol is far more complicated than the two categories established decades ago. Particle testing is more reliable for getting an accurate picture of your own cholesterol. Of course, your cholesterol numbers won't determine your risk for heart disease. It's more important to reduce your inflammatory risk by improving your diet and helping your gut microbiome than to worry about cholesterol. Listen as Dr. Jonny Bowden joins Dr. Mike Fenster to preach the gospel of cholesterol. Sponsor: Real Salt - Is Your Salt Real?

Learn how to incorporate more seafood into your diet for better brain health.According to dietary guidelines and USDA, 80-90 percent of Americans are not eating the recommended amount of seafood each week. You should get two to three servings (8-12 ounces) of seafood each week, but most of us only consume one serving of seafood weekly. Children and pregnant mothers consume even less, about 25 percent of what they should be eating.The umbrella term of seafood includes fin fish and shellfish. It's best to eat a variety, just like you would with fruits and vegetables. You'll get the greatest health benefits by mixing it up. Seafood is packed with Omega-3s, which are essential for optimal brain development and overall health. These omega-3s also reduce risk of depression.You can start to increase your seafood consumption by first getting plenty of the fish you enjoy. Next, branch out and try some fatty fish and canned fish. Frozen seafood is nutritionally sound and more affordable than fresh. Watch for sales at the fresh fish counter, buy extra and freeze it. Strive for variety to get your omega-3s, protein, selenium and B vitamins. Pregnant women should have two servings of seafood per week for the eye and brain development of their unborn babies. Pregnant women, breastfeeding women and young children should avoid predator fish: swordfish, shark, king mackerel and tilefish. Mercury levels are higher in these fish. Tilapia is a great gateway fish to the world of seafood, especially for those who enjoy chicken. It has come under a lot of scrutiny for sourcing methods. Get to know your fishmonger and be sure your fish is responsibly sourced. Make sure it doesn't smell fishy; that's a sign it's been sitting too long. If you don't have a family of seafood enthusiasts, try incorporating seafood into favorite dishes. Fish tacos, pasta and burgers help introduce a seafood palate in a way that's familiar. Check on Dish on Fish for shopping and preparation tips. Listen as registered dietitian and fish expert Rima Kleiner joins Dr. Mike Fenster to dish on fish. Sponsor: Real Salt - Is Your Salt Real?

Stopping negative self talk, making better decisions, re-framing New Year's Resolutions, and the one thing to make your life better today with therapist Lisa Ferentz.What You'll Learn in this Episode: Why we need to stop negative self talk, where it comes from, and how to be more kind to yourself. How to make decisions from a place of “what is” rather than “what was” or “what could be.” The cause of bullying. Discussion about her new book: Finding Your Ruby Slippers: Transformative Life Lessons from the Therapist's Couch. How to drill down on your New Year's Resolutions to get them to stick. Are you doing it for you or someone else? Remember you can only control yourself, and real change begins with you in your own mind. What are you going to gain, and what are you going to lose? What are your obstacles? Is your resolution doable? High Five Highlights: In your book title, why the reference to the Wizard of Oz and the ruby slippers? In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy realizes that everything she needed was on her feet all along. So the book is how we can look inside ourselves to find the answers and live the best we can. We have the all the power we need within us. Best advice she was ever given: Use whatever gifts you've been given to make a difference in the world. What gives her inspiration everyday: Her cockapoo dog, who on a daily basis reminds her to live in the moment. Her favorite quote: “Experience is not what happens to you, it's what you do with what happens to you.” Also, the serenity prayer which says: “Understand what you have control over, let go of what you can't control and fully embrace and act on what you can control.” As a therapist, what does she think could be easily fixed in our human race: This is a complicated question, but if we could teach parents to talk to their children in loving ways, that would go a long way in eliminating many problems later on.

Find out what may be causing your digestive issues with grains and how to improve your nutrition.Digestive problems are rampant. This has spurned a multi-billion dollar gluten-free industry.There are two reasons we have trouble digesting hard-to-digest foods: Processed foods designed to replace cholesterol in the 1960s are indigestible fats. They congest the liver and gallbladder, our kingpins of digestion. 400 billion pounds of toxic chemicals are dumped into the American environment every year. Toxins and pesticides are designed to kill bacteria. This is eliminating necessary participants in the gut microbiome and reducing the ability to digest wheat and other foods. If you can't digest well, you can't detoxify very well either. Grains and nuts require specific microbes to be broken down. These foods stimulate and irritate the intestinal tract to trigger an immune response. Eliminating hard-to-digest wheat and nuts can compromise the immune system.Are we sterilizing our environment by removing these components that stimulate the gut?Processed wheat has a higher glycemic index than whole wheat. It also contributes to abdominal fat, obesity, higher blood sugar, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Whole wheat can help you lose weight, reduce risk of diabetes and improve cognitive function.Gluten in bread was not intended to be digested exclusively in the stomach. A significant portion should be broken down in the large intestine. That is where it feeds microbes that stimulate fatty acids, boosting immunity and doing the heavy lifting for everything in the body.If the body can't process gluten properly from a weakened digestive system, the molecules are too big to enter the bloodstream and feed the body. These large gluten molecules get taken into the body via the intestinal wall, congesting the lymphatic system.One solution? Look for unbleached, organic, whole grain wheat that hasn't been fortified with anything.Also, eat foods that are tougher on the system in the middle of the day... not right away in the morning or at night. Relax while you eat. Save your heavy bread consumption for winter. The gut bacteria has seasonal changes for digestion. Eat seasonally. Be kind to your digestive system.Listen in as Dr. John Douillard shares how to aid your digestion. Sponsor: Real Salt  - Is Your Salt Real?

How to care for aging parents, how to hire a caregiver and five tips to help you through the holidays with Igor Lebovic of Kindly Care.What You'll Learn in this Episode: Why it's important to run a background check on someone you're thinking about hiring as a caregiver. Why you should look for an introvert who is happy in service. The two questions you should ask to help you find the right care caregiver: “How did you get into caregiving?” “Tell us about your favorite and least favorite client.” Other tips for caring for an aging parent: Simplify: shorten visits and events. You do not have to accept all invitations. Determine which ones might be the most important or provide the most joy to your loved one. Watch your family member's reactions. Pay attention to stress levels and make adjustments as necessary. Maintain the familiar. Old traditions, familiar music, reading/signing holiday cards or other simple customs can be enjoyable and feel comfortable to the impaired individual. Get involved and do something (anything): a short walk to look at Christmas decorations, an animated holiday musical that encourages simulated dancing or swaying, decorating a tree... these are all possible activities. Reminisce about past gatherings, traditions or people. It's time to bring out those old photo albums! High Five Highlights: What's the best way to deal with a negative parent: Deflect the negativity and focus on positivity. Advice he would give his younger self: Work on forming close bonds with people that make me a better person. Best advice he was ever given: Focus on the things you do best and delegate everything else. Most important thing to remember when caring for an aging parent: Remember that this person has a special status in your life and focus on how you can help them. Most important thing he's learned: Relationships are the most important things in your life. Connect with Igor!Share the Show!
