Tonight, on Your Health First with Dr. Galati, he talks about his dad on this Father's Day. He also has Dan Ostrander join the show to explain the role fathers have in health and wellness. The article of the week for Dr. Galati in The New York Times is about the five keys to a healthy diet, so he spends some time discussing that.
On this week's broadcast of YOUR HEALTH FIRST, we discussed several important health news items, including the recent diagnosis of prostate cancer in President Biden. While we all offer him our best wishes and support, the announcement has sparked considerable discussion about how this may have unfolded.Over the past 15 years, strategies for prostate cancer screening have evolved significantly. The use of the blood test known as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has been at the center of research and clinical debate. In earlier years, even mildly elevated PSA levels often led to prostate biopsies. However, growing concerns about overdiagnosis and overtreatment have led to more conservative approaches, with many physicians opting for careful monitoring rather than immediate invasive procedures.It is unclear exactly how this approach factored into President Biden's case. However, in speaking with several leading prostate cancer experts in the Houston area, there was broad agreement: it's likely that his PSA levels had been elevated over time, but the decision was made to monitor the situation closely rather than proceed with a biopsy right away.Whether or not political considerations influenced the timing or manner of this diagnosis is something that will likely be debated in the weeks, months, and years to come.Where to find Dr. Joe Galati and his team:Dr. Galati's newsletter sign-upMedical Practice: Liver Specialists of TexasDr. Galati's Book Site: Eating Yourself SickFacebook: Dr. Joe GalatiDr. Galati's YouTube ChannelPlease send feedback and suggestion.

In this latest podcast episode, we delve into the groundbreaking research of Jonathan Stine, MD, a renowned liver specialist and faculty member at Penn State, who is making significant strides in the field of fatty liver disease research. Originally aired as part of a radio segment on YOUR HEALTH FIRST, this engaging podcast episode features Dr. Stine's compelling insights and findings on the impactful role of exercise in reversing the damage associated with fatty liver disease.Fatty liver disease, a condition that affects millions worldwide, poses a substantial threat to public health, often leading to more severe liver problems and related health issues if left unmanaged. Dr. Stine and his dedicated team have been at the forefront of research aiming to combat this growing epidemic. Their work highlights how intensive exercise programs serve not only as a preventive measure but also as a potential therapeutic strategy for patients already suffering from fatty liver.During the interview, Dr. Stine discusses the promising outcomes of his team's studies, which indicate that rigorous exercise can significantly reduce liver fat, improve liver function, and potentially halt or even reverse the progression of liver damage. This discovery offers hope to patients and healthcare practitioners alike, introducing a non-pharmacological approach that empowers individuals in managing their health. Listeners will gain valuable insights into how lifestyle modifications, particularly through structured exercise regimens, can transform health outcomes. Dr. Stine's research opens new pathways for treatment and highlights the crucial role of an active lifestyle in maintaining liver health. Tune in to learn more about these remarkable findings and how they are paving the way for innovative treatment options in the fight against fatty liver disease.Where to find Dr. Joe Galati and his team:Dr. Galati's newsletter sign-upMedical Practice: Liver Specialists of TexasDr. Galati's Book Site: Eating Yourself SickFacebook: Dr. Joe GalatiDr. Galati's YouTube ChannelPlease send feedback and suggestion.

This week on Your Health First we are talking physical therapy. You need to invest in your physical strength, balance, and agility as we age. Alison Teheng, from Burcutt Physical Therapy and Wellness Center, was our special guest. We reflected on the need to seriously take stock in our own strength and how it impacts on our long-term health and wellness, and what you can do to delay or prevent the onset of chronic disease.Alison gives numerous good tips and insight on strategies we need to think about. As we like to say, you don't want to start investing in your health once chronic disease sets in. You need to be 10 to 20 years ahead of chronic diseases to make sure that you do all that you can to avoid them.Where to find Dr. Joe Galati and his team:Dr. Galati's newsletter sign-upMedical Practice: Liver Specialists of TexasDr. Galati's Book Site: Eating Yourself SickFacebook: Dr. Joe GalatiDr. Galati's YouTube ChannelPlease send feedback and suggestion.

Over the past several weeks, we have been highlighting the connection between fatty liver and heart disease. This is a topic that we feel is not receiving enough discussion. The majority of individuals with fatty liver suffer from a constellation of disorders which is called metabolic syndrome. Within metabolic syndrome, patients have truncal obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol or triglycerides. This particular risk profile put you at high risk for the development of fatty liver but also for serious heart disease.Patients with fatty liver have a far more aggressive form of heart disease, with the increased risk of fatal complications in the event of a heart attack. In many cases, both the patient and primary care physicians underestimate the cardiovascular risk associated with fatty liver disease and unfortunately ignore these risk factors.This past week's episode of Your Health First highlighted this discussion. We had Dr. Mazen Noureddin, an expert in fatty liver and fatty liver research, as well as Dr. Randeep Suneja, and acclaimed cardiologist here in Houston. Together they outlined the nature of the public health risk, and steps to take to combat it.Where to find Dr. Joe Galati and his team:Dr. Galati's newsletter sign-upMedical Practice: Liver Specialists of TexasDr. Galati's Book Site: Eating Yourself SickFacebook: Dr. Joe GalatiDr. Galati's YouTube ChannelPlease send feedback and suggestion.

I'll be examining them and I'll pull their gown up and I'll be palpating around and they'll ask, ‘What are you doing up there?' And so, that's a big point that people don't even know where their liver is and so if they have a pain in their side, they don't know that it could be their liver or their gallbladder.

This past week on Your Health First, Dr. Briana Costello with the Texas Heart Institute, shared her experience on metabolic syndrome and its role in heart disease and fatty liver. Metabolic syndrome generally consists of: obesity (specifically belly fat), pre or type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and increased levels of cholesterol. Fatty liver is seen in the vast majority of such cases of metabolic syndrome. Unfortunately, those with metabolic syndrome have an increased chance of developing serious heart complication - such as heart attack, stroke, and premature death.For more information about Dr. Costello and the Texas Heart Institute, visit these links.#metabolicsyndrome#texasheartinstitute#fattyliver#liverspecialistsoftexas See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
This week on YOUR HEALTH FIRST, we had the pleasure of interviewing 2 new team members of LIVER SPECIALISTS OF TEXAS. Lauren McNamara, registered dietitian along with Natalie Amante, physician assistant, sat down and spoke with DR. JOE GALATI regarding the role of nutrition, obesity, and metabolic syndrome in the eventual development, and reversal, of non alcoholic fatty liver disease. Fatty liver disease is the leading cause of chronic inflammation of the liver, the leading cause of cirrhosis and liver cancer, and the leading disease of the liver that ultimately results in the need for a liver transplant.The vast majority of the cases of fatty liver disease are a direct result of obesity, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol or triglycerides, and hypertension. Collectively these disorders are called metabolic syndrome.

This past week on our weekly radio show, Your Health First, our special guest was Dr. Joseph Rogers, the new President and CEO of the world famous Texas Heart Institute located in the Texas Medical Center. During the interview, we asked Dr. Rogers a number of questions about heart disease and what the average consumer needs to know.Topics we talked about include understanding risk factors for heart disease, understanding the new American Heart Association guidelines for the control of high blood pressure, the role of statins and their safety, as well as being familiar with symptoms you may have that are associated with serious heart problems. He also discussed the need to know your cholesterol, even at an early age, say 20 years old. The better you understand personal risk factors, the sooner lifestyle changes can be adjusted, medical interventions can be made, and your overall health, wellness, and survival can benefit.#americanheart #hearthealth #highbloodpressure #cholesterol #texasheartinstitute #heartattack #talkradio #iheartradioWebsites to remember:Dr. Galati's newsletter sign-upMedical Practice: Liver Specialists of TexasDr. Galati's Book Site: Eating Yourself SickFacebook: Dr. Joe GalatiDr. Galati's YouTube ChannelPlease send feedback and suggestion.

The COVID-19 pandemic is no closer to being over than it was six-months ago. There are several reasons for this including the emergence of the Delta-variant, vaccine hesitancy, breakthrough cases in those vaccinated, ongoing infections in the elderly, immunosuppressed, and those with various chronic conditions.Dr. Joe Galati spends some time this past week on Your Health First sharing his thoughts on this.#covid19 #pandemic #covidvaccine #coronavirus See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
So here we are in August 2021, and we are still talking about the COVID-19 pandemic. Just when we thought we would be getting our lives back under control, the delta variant emerged. The initial excitement about the vaccine has waned, and we are once again seeing a surge of cases in our hospitals and intensive care units. There continues to be confusion about wearing masks, how we conduct ourselves in public, what is the real story on breakthrough cases in those that have been previously vaccinated, and how do we addressed those that simply are not interested in getting vaccinated? Unfortunately, the public health experts that we rely on, as well as our political leaders, are finding it more and more difficult to provide the general public with a coherent set of recommendations and guidelines that we can live by. This inconsistent messaging only feeds the fire of noncompliance, and of course, more cases and the potential for more deaths. This week on our weekly radio program, Your Health First, it was a pleasure to have back on Dr. David Pate.

He received his undergraduate degree at Syracuse University and attended St. George’s University School of Medicine. Following medical school, Dr. Galati was an Intern and Resident in Internal Medicine at State University of New York Health Science Center-Brooklyn (formerly Downstate Medical Center)/Kings County Hospital Center, one of the premier teaching hospitals in the country.
