Jami Dulaney MD Wellness Podcast

Welcome! and Thank you for listening! Happy Mother's Day. 

The first mother's day celebration took place in 1908 in Grafton, West Virginia when Anna Jarvis campaigned for the holiday in honor of her mother. 

Back in the day, most mother's ran the house and took care of the children.  The food on the table was what was grown and raised by the family.  There was not a diverse menu choice, and the most important aspect was to have enough to feed the family.  The worry was having enough not too much.  Survival of the children were largely the responsibility of mom.  Today, there are many more choices, and marketing can make food selection very confusing. 

The purpose of Mother's day is to honor mom for her dedication to her family, and for doing the best she can in her own particular circumstance.

May all the Mother's out there live to the fullest, lead by love and not fear knowing that their bond with their child will overcome any uncertainties they may face.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  

I would like to wish Coach Jeff Galloway a speedy recovery from his recent cardiac event, and I hope he gets back running/walking soon.  

As many of you know, he is a world famous marathon runner and coach who developed the run/walk/run method of marathon training.  Despite running a marathon nearly every month, Jeff suffered a heart attack.  Did running help or hurt him? What could he do to avoid future cardiac events?

Most importantly, is it safe to take up running at any age? I will discuss this and give suggestions on how to safely begin a running program.  Spoiler alert:  plant based diet and heart rate training.  

If you would like to begin running or step up your endurance activities but have lifestyle diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol or cardiovascular disease, check out our website at doctordulaney.com to join our practice or email me at [email protected] with questions.  I believe you are too old NOT to run.  Be healthy!

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Zion 50K is in the books!  

Studies have shown that experiencing awe has been associated with increased calmness and kindness to others.  It brings people back to the present moment. 

That is exactly what happens in an ultramarathon in a beautiful location such as Zion National Park.  Bright blue skies, rocks of every color and shape, splashed with the light of the sun gave us hours of viewing pleasure as we criss crossed along the rim of the Zion canyons and mesas.  We were very present as we followed the white dot and pink ribbon marked trails for 33.4 miles of fun.

This episode is about our Zion 50K (33.4miles) race.  No we didn't get lost.  I am pretty sure I moved all 300 plus joints in my body as we course along the path.  How cool to get such a workout while seeing all the smiling faces of people happy to be outside challenging themselves to new levels.  

Enjoy this episode, and find out what lies ahead.  Visit our website at doctordulaney.com and learn how you can improve your health and learn to move all 300 plus joints in your body.  Email me at [email protected]  with questions.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening! 

This episode is about sitting?????? Yes, there is a need to stand and a time to sit.  One important time to sit is when we are eating.  I want to discuss self care and family care this episode when it comes to eating patterns, and how it relates to metabolism and overall health.  This is not about needing to be pampered or taken care of.  It is about maximizing one of the most important contributors to health: our nutrition.  It is not just about what we eat, but about how we eat.  In our nutrition class, I often hear about stress eating.  We all have experienced it in one way or another.  It might be thought of as having control of something in our life, but the reality it leads to less control and poor health.  

This episode deals with how those behaviors negatively impact your health.  So sit down, take a nice easy breath from from your diaphragm and let's begin.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening!  Happy Easter! Happy Passover! and Happy Spring.  

Flowers are blooming and spring is in the air. Time to plant the backyard garden and keep planting your gut microbe garden. 

This episode is how to improve your cardiovascular health.  Cardiovascular health in a recent study was based on smoking, total cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension, body mass index, physical activity and diet.  Scoring 0, 1, or 2 for a best score of 14 was associated with decreased cardiovascular events.  Don't cheat!  You cannot have a perfect score if you are on medications to achieve a good number.  Big muscles don't protect you from increased fat mass.  Cheat days don't get you a perfect score on diet.  Another factor playing a role in cardiovascular health is sleep.  

We will discuss those topics and how you might improve each one of those.  If you have questions or want to step up your game, check out our website at doctordulaney.com to see you can become a part of our team. 

Thank your for listening!

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. 

Do you give yourself little rewards?  Cheat days? Treats for good behavior? Have you had someone give you rewards along the way for your biggest achievements?  I bet not.  It seems our "little rewards" along the way often derail our ultimate goals.  For the most part, people don't regret the rewards, but are surprised they failed to achieve their ultimate goal.  I sincerely hope your ultimate goal is not a bag of chips.  We will ponder that this episode, and I will discuss a few matters of the heart, like hypertension.  

Join Addie and I this Thursday, March 25, at 5:30 pm for a zoom conference on fermentation and your gut.  I will be demonstrating my favorite recipe for making a starter to pulling the loaf out of the oven.  Addie will be making a tempeh reuben while discussing how your fermented dishes can improve your gut health.  Go on over to doctordulaney.com to purchase your tickets.  I cannot wait to meet you!

I am joined on this episode with apprentice endurance athlete in training Paster Hutch Strahm.  We ran the Treasure Coast marathon this past weekend together along with Michael Hubbard.  It was the first marathon ever for Hutch who had not run a step in many years.  He started his plant based journey after multiple coronary stents, hypertension, diabetes and obesity.  Fourteen months ago he decided he wanted to run a marathon.  

This podcast is a recap of his journey and the marathon.  We hope this encourages you to take on a challenge of your own, and achieve optimal health through exercise and plant based nutrition.

Healthy people, healthy animals, and a healthy planet.  What could be better.  This episode summarizes the points in my Vegefest Presentation at the Punta Gorda, Vegefest.  

The risk factors for lifestyle disease, heart disease, and infectious disease outcomes are largely the same.  Controlling a risk factor is not the same as eliminating it.  Just smoking a few cigarettes does not make a lot of progress.  Being physically fit or eating plant based is not as good as being physically fit AND eating plant based.  

We are all on a journey to optimal health and fitness.  You start where you are and make changes.  One step forward at a time.  Enjoy the journey and savor each step as you prepare for the next one.  

Check out our website at doctordulaney.com to see how we might help you on your journey to health.  While you are there, get your ticket for our Zoom Conference March 25, 2021 to learn how to make sourdough bread and a tempeh reuben sandwich as we discuss health and the gut.  

See you there!  Thanks for listening.
