The biggest (and most preventable) cause of disease
I had a conversation with an acquaintance who proudly told me that she was happy to be in good health in her late 50's. This is how she described "good health": Her cholesterol was under control with Lipitor Her blood pressure stayed right around 120/80 with atenolol Nexium kept her acid reflux at bay Metformin brought her A1C down to under 6% THAT'S good health? This woman is anything BUT healthy. What she has...
A fast path to heart disease, diabetes or stroke
There is a “perfect storm” of health factors that can come together and practically guarantee that you will be facing heart disease, diabetes and/or stroke in your future. It’s Metabolic Syndrome. Metabolic Syndrome is a collection of health issues (that are rampant in our society today) that spell DANGER. They include: High blood pressure Elevated blood glucose Elevated triglycerides Low HDL cholesterol A high concentration of belly fat (being an “apple shape”) Obesity Let’s...
Why statins are a joke and heart healthy fats are BS
February is American Heart Month, and this year’s marks the 57th consecutive heart health month since President Lyndon B. Johnson (a heart attack survivor) issued the first proclamation in 1964. Unfortunately, much of the hype that will be bombarding us this month has very little to do with actual heart health! As usual, we’ll all be reminded to wear red, to control our cholesterol (with statins, of course) and avoid saturated fats while using...
This disease didn’t exist 100 years ago—now it’s exploding!
If you are an adult living in in the US or a similar “Westernized” country, chances are good you already have or soon will develop a sly, silent and rather common disease. This condition quietly progresses and waits like a spider…then when it rears its ugly head, you quickly find yourself flat on your back (or in surgery). I’m talking about diverticulosis. Here’s what you need to know about this “silent” condition that is...
Cases of this disease are exploding—but no one’s talking about it
I think it’s fair to say that we should be able to expect the CDC to be rather thorough in its reporting of disease information. After all, the “Centers For Disease Control and Prevention” implies that they actually have reliable statistics to help control and prevent disease. Well, I beg to differ. Because there is a huge omission in the CDC’s disease statistics as they pertain to deaths and mortality, based on my recent...
Can we talk about a taboo subject?
I have to confess that I get my inspirations for writing sometimes in the strangest, most warped ways. Today I have an appointment for my annual GYN checkup…and while I’m happy to report I’m feeling fine, the same cannot be said for many other women who may be paying a visit to their gynecologist today. Because one of the most common reasons to see a GYN is a vaginal yeast infection! Ah yes, most...
