SOMOT LIVE: Dr. Ovadia Responds to Inaccuracies in HuffPo Article - #79

Dr. Ovadia was quoted in a Huffington Post article. The headlines were mostly accurate, but the body of the article was a comical mish-mash of misinformation, mal-information, and outright ignorance.In this recording from a live Twitter Spaces, Dr. O sets the record straight. He also takes questions from the audience.A few excerpts on The 5 Harmful Myths About Food's Effect on Heart Health:Myth 1. A low-fat diet is best for heart health.While trans fat and hydrogenated fats found in processed foods should be avoided, saturated fat, which has been historically linked to heart disease, is not the real culprit. It's the polyunsaturated fat that’s more harmful to your health.Myth 2. Eggs are bad for your heart.Despite eggs' high cholesterol content, our blood cholesterol levels are not much impacted by the cholesterol in our diet.Myth 3. Red meat should be avoided at all costs.There is no strong evidence of red meat affecting heart health.Myth 4. If you're on medication for your heart health, it means you can eat whatever you want.Statins have little effect on weight, but a nutrient-poor diet increases the risk of heart disease. Improving your diet won't need you to take any more medications.Myth 5. Changing your diet isn't enough to reverse the damage already done to your heart.It’s never too late to start looking after your heart. A change in your diet and lifestyle can still improve your situation.Quick Guide01:33 Introduction03:21 Myth 1. A low-fat diet is best for heart health08:34 Myth 2.

Dr. Al Danenberg: How to Outlive a Terminal Cancer Prognosis - #76

Al Danenberg thought he was a poster boy for a senior healthy living lifestyle and eating habits, but one sharp pain in the shoulder led to back pains, chest pains, and breathing difficulty. He found out he had incurable bone marrow cancer and had only a few months left to live.That was 2018.What helped him was a series of unconventional cancer protocols that he tweaked as he went along, but that doesn’t mean there were no setbacks. He fractured himself so many times. He was cleared with cancer cells, but COVID activated his plasma cells creating dysfunctional antibodies which damaged his bones even more.But now, he has lived beyond his prognosis.In this conversation, he shared how lifestyle and diet changes are the key to his health, and puts on his periodontist hat as he discusses ways to help our gut, what anti-nutrients are and the benefits of pulsed electromagnetic therapy.

And that's an interesting story to be told. Because for the most part, we are animal eaters, we can eat animals without a problem, unless there are certain medical issues that you might have, but for the most part, we can eat the animal products without a problem and absorb these nutrients.

Dr. Tro & Team: a New, Patient-Centric Model for Healthcare - #75

Dr. Tro Kalayjian - a formerly 350-pound doctor - had to unlearn much of what he'd been taught in medical school to get his health back.Dr. Laura Buchanan - a former athlete - had the same sort of experience. She learned early on that she wanted to integrate metabolic health into her medical practice. Despite having different backgrounds in both personal health and medicine, Dr. Tro  and Dr. Laura now collaborate to give their patients the best care possible. To address the underlying reason for a patient's health issues, the healthcare team considers the patient’s strengths, weaknesses, failures, and even appetites. They call this "patient bonding."

For some people, being healthy is always associated with weight loss. Krisna Hanks never had that problem. Having spent 30 years of her life as a professional dancer, she was a vegetarian, did Pilates and swimming to strengthen herself, and took care of her body as her topmost priority. But at one point in her life, a bad joint pain made her struggle to stand up or sit down. For 2 years, doctors can't diagnose what was wrong with her. With all tests exhausted, her physical therapist friend recommended changing her diet. From vegetarian to meat-centric, the change didn’t happen overnight. It was a process. Now as a health coach, she has a deep understanding of the different struggles of each person. Overall wellness is in body, mind, and spirit.

Dr. E Mixes Traditional/Functional Medicine for Better Results - #72

Immediately putting a patient on medication has been normalized. Dr. Efrat Lamandre (Dr. E) maintains that it should not be. In this episode, she shares her story of how she started her functional medicine practice, how she has taken more time to listen to her patients than before, and why she'd check nutrition and sleep first before any exercise recommendation.Healthcare professionals frequently overlook the initial course of treatment recommended by pharmacological guidelines — dietary lifestyle changes — because the system doesn't leave enough time for it. She used to consider a patient "fine" if test results didn't point to any specific diagnosis. Now she knows better: symptoms meant something is wrong. So, her goal is to provide interventions before the symptoms develop into disease.Dr. E believes there is a place for both conventional and functional medicine. That's why she practices both. She calls this the KNEW method, a reassurance for the patients that the symptoms they experience are not just in their heads.

Keto Diet Rescued ex-Cop Eric Reynolds from Horrors of PTSD - #70

He knew he had to make a change.A friend who'd lost 50 pounds mentioned the ketogenic diet. He'd never heard of it. So, he researched what it was and how it worked, including meal planning and macros tracking. It made sense to him, so he decided to try it. In very little time, the weight began dropping away.
