During our latest podcast, Dr. Kevin segues masterfully from his daughter’s appendicitis scare to the management
of airway foreign bodies in children. This is a potentially life-threatening that should be suspected on the basis of a witnessed choking episode. The presentation of unwitnessed foreign body aspiration is subtle and requires a very thorough history, physical and investigative review.

On today’s podcast, we will be talking to Dr. Stephen Sharpe, a fellow family physician and the Medical Director of Aroga Health, one of the fastest growing Lifestyle Medicine Clinics in Canada.



There is no longer any serious doubt that daily habits and actions profoundly affect health and quality of life. This concept is supported by literally thousands of research articles and incorporated in multiple evidence-based guidelines for the prevention and/or treatment of chronic metabolic diseases. The study of how habits and actions affect both prevention and treatment of diseases has coalesced around the concept of “lifestyle medicine.” Lifestyle medicine interventions include nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep hygiene, social support, and smoking cessation.



Given the current climate around health care, this outcome-driven approach is vital for the future of both patients and health caregivers.



Enjoy!



Dr. Dimitre
