Welcome! and Thank you for listening. You had better be careful eating that plant based diet. You could be deficient in all kinds of things. You could even be anemic? Are you tired? Perhaps you suffer from iron deficiency. These statements are all possible; if you eat a vegan diet of Oreos and vegan deli slices. Iron is vital to a whole host of reactions in and out of the body. Have you ever seen rust? It is vital to make red blood cells, repair DNA and metabolize nutrients. It is also very hard...

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. There are two very important things to do each day for your mental health, sleep, and cheery disposition. I invite you to listen to find out. 90% of people do not achieve one of theses things on a regular basis. It has nothing to do with nutrition. Did you know it takes twice as long to raise a steer grass fed versus grain and grass? A year longer to absorb more environmental toxins and concentrate them in the meat that carnivores consume abundant amounts of...

Welcome! and Thank you for listening I raced the Long Haul 100 Mile Trail Race this past weekend. There were many surprises and challenges over the 31 hours and 5 minutes that it took me to cross the finish line. In fact, there was a time when I did not think I would see or even care to see the finish line. Ultrarunning is any running event over 26.2 miles. This one was 100 miles. Six times through a 16.7 mile loop at Colt Creek State Park in Florida. It was describes as grassy trails and hard p...

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. The year is coming to an end, but that does not mean we should ignore our health journey until next year. It matters right now and every day. Early onset dementia, meaning occurring before 70 years of age, is associated with several risk factors that can be addressed now and prevented. There are 15 risk factors that stand out among many. It may seem obvious that a history of diabetes, previous stroke, heart disease or depression would be among them. But how ...

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. Happy Holidays! This is the time of the year to reflect on the past year and make plans for the future. Celebrate the wins and learn from the losses. One of my favorite songs is Simple Gifts. One of the lines paraphrased is "Tis the gift to be simple is the gift to be free, Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be" We tend to complicate our lives and our nutrition more than we need to. In the season of overindulgence, try to find ways to make things a ...

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. Finally we have a randomized controlled study on a plant based diet versus an omnivore diet. It was only 2 months, but it gives a lot of information to contemplate. We are by history omnivores. That means we digest meat, dairy, fruit, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Buts should we? The problem with most studies is that they rely on food diaries. As you well know, they are highly inaccurate. People report what they think you want to hear or the supp...

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. Today I have a guest, Dr. Matt Minard. He is a physical therapist that specializes in running injury prevention and running mechanics. There is a high incidence of runners that get injured. Some would say that that is an excuse not to run. However, the benefits of running markedly outweigh the risk of injury. In fact, runners have a less frequency of joint replacement than non-runners. Running has been associated with a decreased risk of not only cardiovascu...

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. How much of the time do you only hear the first sentence? How often do you only hear what is pleasant? Better yet, how often do you translate what is said into what you want to hear? That is why lawyers make the big bucks, and doctors "practice" medicine". When it comes to preventing and reversing lifestyle diseases, I have no doubt that eating fruits and vegetables will not hurt you. I gave a lecture at a high school once and the first question was then wha...

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. If you would like to get some nutrition or medical advice, just tell someone you are plant based. They will tell you all the things that you will be deficient in and how keto has worked well for them. Of course, they are currently on a break or having a cheat day, but it still works for them. It is pretty rare to have someone listen to your story and just say, good for you. I was fortunate enough to have my father give me a great piece of advice. Make a deci...

If I inform you of the risks and benefits they are supposed to be to the best of my knowledge. You would need to know the depth of my knowledge to fully understand that. The other problem is when people are in destress or pain, they often only hear the first sentence or so. Their minds are racing with their own questions and concerns. Living often trumps some discomfort or chance of ...

Do you have a plan to achieve the goals or are you just floating through life hoping for a good outcome? Most people are told that you cannot reverse lifestyle diseases. They just happen and you must adjust to taking medications and being a "patient". I do not believe that is the truth. However, you must have a specific plan and monitor your progress as you go along.
