Jami Dulaney MD Wellness Podcast

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  

A recent study showed a death rate for the first heart attack of 17.8 % over 28 days.  62.3% of those deaths occurred in the first 24 hours. 

Are you at risk, or only the old folks need worry?  The truth is that over the past decade the number of heart attacks are decreasing but they are occurring at younger ages.  The deaths from cancer and heart disease in those younger than 65 are approaching each other especially in women.  

The biggest risk for heart attacks and strokes is diabetes and PRE Diabetes.  You know, the don't worry you are only borderline diabetic kind.   Those ads on TV stating you can decrease your glucose or HgA1C with certain medications never mention a decrease in heart attacks, because they don't.  

Diabetes is a risk for atrial fibrillation and embolic strokes as well as ischemic strokes.  You never hear the pharmaceutical companies say their medications can reverse that risk.  

My best advise: plant based nutrition and exercise.  Big changes are needed to get the best results.  It is not for a short time but for a life time.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening!  Happy Heart Month and Happy Valentines Day.

I would like to share a few secrets to keep your Valentine around longer and perhaps healthier.  It does not involve sugary candies or expensive meals.  Make eggs a hard no.  Not just the ones in a skillet covered with cheese, but the ones hidden in pastries, and breaded items in the freezer section.  

Just say no to dairy.  It is a highlighted ingredient on the back of packaged foods in the ingredient list.  It is quick.  Look on the back.  If it says dairy, put it back.  

Keep the fat content ideally at 10%.  Don't be fooled by the fat grams in the nutrition label.  If a serving size is 100 calories and there are 5 grams of fat by weight, it translates to 45% fat. (9 kcal/g x 5 grams fat).  It is not an option.  

You only have to read a few labels to get the hint.  The chip and cracker isle is more than 10% fat.  Don't bother going there.  Not to worry you will get the "good fat" from kale, beans and whole grains.  

If you are interested in learning morning about fermentation and your microbes, join Addie Majnaric, RDN and myself for another Zoom Conference March 25, 2020.  Head on over to doctordulaney.com to find out more

Happy Heart Month!

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  It is heart month!  There is no better way to reverse and prevent heart disease than eating a plant based diet.  Reduce cholesterol, inflammation, and blood pressure all why decreasing your risk for other lifestyle diseases. 

Why does it take a heart attack or stroke to get someones attention?  Perhaps we think we are the one human on the planet that can get away with eating poorly and still remain healthy. (define healthy)  Most people share this optimism yet are in general very pessimistic about a lot of things that they cannot possibly change.   The paradox is real.  

Today's episode: plain facts why plant based is best.  Super bowl Sunday healthy food ideas, and proof you can turn back the clock on heart disease.

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Chris Wark who has put colon cancer in the rear view mirror for 17 years!  He decided not to go with traditional chemotherapy and instead took a deep dive into diet and lifestyle changes.  

Medical decision making is very difficult especially when dealing with a frightening diagnosis of cancer.  I believe this episode will give everyone the courage and confidence to ask questions and take charge of their health whether you are dealing with an illness or are trying to live as healthy as possible.

January is the month for weight loss.  Get it off and move on.  Or, return to eating like you want to.  That is not the recipe for health, but a quick fix at best.  

How do you loose weight without suffering?  How do you reverse lifestyle diseases and also loose weight?  Why not just have a procedure or take a pill.  Why is it so hard to stick to a program? What is your why anyway????

Let's make health positive and fun!  I hope you enjoy the episode.  If you have questions, email me at [email protected].  Please visit the website at doctordulaney.com.  We would love to have you as a member of our plant based wellness practice.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening!. 

Accountability comes in many forms; friends, family, and perhaps self.  I love the concept of self accountability using a calendar.  Write it down daily to keep it true and to be able to self check week to week and year to year.  Today, I will give you some tips on how this form of journaling can help to you to positively improve steadily over time.  

Vitamin D: It is more than just for your bones.  It is vital to your immune system.  Find out how it works and how you might get a little added protection against COVID-19 and other illnesses.  

We had our Healthy Start New Year Zoom this week featuring simple but healthy plant based versions of standard breakfast, lunch and dinner menus.  The feedback was such that we plan on offering different topics in the future.  If you have a suggestion, please email me at [email protected].

Feed a fever; starve a fever?  If you can sit up and take nourishment, you are going to be ok?  What are good food choices when ill? 

I am recovering from COVID-19.  Yes I had a positive PCR test and the symptoms.  Ten days I returned to work, and I am beginning to resume my running at a slow and cautious amount and pace.  

Today I will discuss fasting and illness and the benefits from fasting with regard to immune health.  One thing we know for sure is that being overweight increases the severity of COVID and other illnesses secondary to chronic inflammation and an overtaxed immune system.  

It is still possible to purchase a ticket to our Zoom nutrition conference January 13, 2021.  Go on over to doctordulaney.com for details.  Email me at [email protected] with questions.  We would love to help you introduce someone to the health benefits of plant based nutrition or jump start your own journey.  We will be cooking 6 meals and discussing their nutrition as well as a general Q and A session.  Don't miss out!

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  I am a plant based cardiologist and endurance athlete.  However, I am currently on a healing journey from COVID.  I am getting better.  How did I get it?  Is it easy or hard to contract? 

Asymptomatic or presymptomatic spread?  Outdoor spread?  We will discuss on all of that as well as the treatment that I am utilizing and recommending for my members.

Vitamin C- liposomal is the easiest to tolerate.  I am trying for minimal of 10 grams a day.  

Vitamin D3- from the sun but I am taking more for COVID.  15000 IU daily until I am well.  Levels to follow

Quercetin: 250 twice daily.  

Zinc 250 mg daily

These are mega doses not RDA.  They are as a treatment and not daily minimums.  There are no risks involved.  

If you want to up your health and wellness game, there is still time to purchase a ticket for our Zoom Wellness conference on January 13, 2021.  Go to doctordulaney.com to purchase a ticket to health for you or someone you care about. Email me at [email protected]  with questions.

Have you heard the song; A Few of My Favorite Things?  This episode has a few of my favorite things I find beautiful.  The little things that can make your day.  If little things make you smile, perhaps finding the little but beautiful things in a healthy lifestyle can also make your day better.  

Change is hard.  Learning something new or creating a new habit is also challenging.  If you can find a little piece of beauty or joy in the change, it is better.  Piece a few little things together, and over time it becomes a beautiful change.
