On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…

Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with weight-loss drugs showing side benefits in the case of the epidemic of obesity also being linked to a rise in cancer cases. With these weight-loss drugs bringing obesity in patients down, it shows promise against certain cancers, especially breast cancer. This is good news. In other good news, there is a breakthrough in AI leading to capabilities of cancer treatments as well as antibiotic resistant infections. 

Shifting focus to GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), there is a breakthrough with recent focus on novel, non-PPI medications and minimally invasive device therapies for treatment-refractory cases. Key advancements include Potassium-Competitive Acid Blockers (PCABs) like Vonoprazan, the magnetic LINX system to strengthen the esophagus, and new anti-pepsin treatments.

Continuing on, Doug and Dr. Ken address a common misconception that gluten intolerance causes GERD. The reality is more of an association as opposed to cause and effect. People who have a gluten intolerance often also have GERD. People who have GERD likely have a gluten intolerance. They are located commonly in the same patients, but it doesn’t mean one caused the other. 

Next up, a focus on food coloring that comes from natural sources, specifically blue food coloring now coming from gardenia as opposed to the horrible dyes that tend to cause poor health and other conditions. This comes under Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s inspiration. Other things Kennedy is doing that is helping the American population is a focus on safe vaccines, as well as a CDC notification of COVID-19 now following a twice a year peak season.  

Lastly, Doug and Dr. Ken address listener questions, starting with semaglutide and other weight loss drugs, which originated as diabetes drugs, are showing to provide better limp protection than other diabetes drugs when it comes to diabetes effect on limbs and a common complication of patients needing amputation of affected limbs. Additionally, a conversation over the COVID-19 vaccine. All this and more on this episode of Good Day Health.
