I have not changed my desired to improve the health span for all of the people I encounter. It is now taking an exciting shift.  Diabetes, glucose intolerance, or insulin resistance is the leading cause of vascular mortality and morbidity.  It is my goal to have this not happen.  Please enjoy the episode.  Thank you for listening

This episode is about early data of my personal continous glucose monitor.  These sensors can be purchased without a prescription and are used to monitor the glucose in the interstitial fluid. Translated there is a mild delay from the blood to the cell fluids where the glucose is monitored and then uploaded to an App on your smartphone.  

Diabetes and glucose intolerance are the biggest risk factors for cardiovascular disease.  Often, people assume that their if glucose is normal fasting, then they are ok.  The problem is that insulin resistence occurs much sooner and still carries the risk of chronic insulin elevations.  Lifestyle changes can be used to prevent frank diabetes or help one achieve remission.  Today I will share with you some of my readings.  If you would like help decreasing your risk or reversing lifestyle diseases, check out our website at doctordulaney.com

This episode will highlight my latest ultra at Croom's Fool run where I completed 35 miles/50K.  The original goal was 50 miles but the day went a little different.  Nevertheless, I finished feeling well and continue to learn about low carbohydrate fueling and ultra distance events.  I will also share a story of doubt that I observed.  The story we tell ourselves can seem benign and even humble, but it is sometimes setting us up for failure.  We have 70,000 thoughts per day and about 80% are negative according to research.  95% are repetitive.  That means we keep telling ourselves negative things quite often.  That would easily be labeled as "bad parenting" today but it seems perfectly ok to subject ourselves to it.  I see similar things in the medical community.  Providers are not willing to see challenging information as learning or keep an open mind to change.  The "practice of medicine" is just that.  Practice and life long learning.  We are not inferior or wrong if we change our minds.  It is evolution of learning.

Today's episode is my story of making a quit for my granddaughter , and how it was not in my comfort zone.  I learned to quilt from watching my grandmother.  Unfortunately, that was 50 plus years ago.  She made quilts for her family by hand with fabric from old clothes.  She allowed me to quilt with her using black thread so it could be easily seen and removed when I went home at night.  I remember the care and hard work that went into making the quilts and how they warm and cozy they felt on a cold night.  

Quilting is piecing together fabrics from various sources.  The fabrics are cut into patterns and sewn together.  They are then attached to a batting layer that provides depth and warmth.  The third layer is a backing. The quilting process is actually the stitching together of the three layers in various patterns depending on the complexity.  You can sew by hand or with a machine or a combination.  I did mine with a standard sewing machine.  I have no training, just memories and video tutorials.  It is the memories that are most important.  The gift of time poured into a project to share with someone else.  It lasts.  It requires mindfulness and dedication to detail.  It is art shared and is raw.  To me it is a symbol of life weaved piece by piece.  Some of it smooth, other parts uneven and challenging.  I hope it is a sense of peace and love that is passed from one person to another.  For me it was a learning experience of patience, mindfulness and love.  If that is not wellness, then I don't know what is.

Enjoy my quilt story and smile.

Last week I completed the Long Play 33 with 35 miles- bonus miles as Andy, the race director, would say.  Based on a recently published study on nutrition during endurance events, I decided to decrease my glucose intake and add Ketone IQ shots to the mix.  

I have a history of bonking in the later parts of a race.  Sometimes, it is more like the early part.  My stomach no longer accepts gels, I feel sluggish, and have assumed it was my mental attitude and the need for more fuel.   I figured I was dehydrated leading to a decrease in blood to the gut and inability to digest my intake resulting muscle glycogen depletion.  As soon as I started taking gels, I became dependent on them.  Once, I could not tolerate them, I was headed for low energy and the need to walk or quit.  

My new hypothesis is that it is my brain's demand for fuel and my bloodstream dip in glucose that causes the bonk.  Wild swings in glucose and insulin followed by a decrease in my ability to burn fat as fuel.  So I tried a few new things this race and had a pleasant surprise. 

I had another pleasant surprise with my follow up lipid and DHA levels.  Certainly, a tell all episode.

Some people may say that running didn't prolong Jeff Galloway's life or even that running may have made him die earlier.  I would say that Jeff had a wonderful lifespan lifting others up both spiritually and health-wise through his lessons on the run-walk method of distance running.  A life well lived and shared.  I believe the longevity and medical community get caught up  more  with time than meaning or quality.  We will all be better if we can lift others up and be a blessing to others for the time we have on this earth.  Rest in peace my fellow runner.

Lp(a) is a genetic marker associated with increased cardiovascular events.  A positive family history is also associated with increase risk.  But how much risk and over what time period.  Families share the same cultures, living environment and often food choices but not always.  Genes don't act alone.  They need the right stimulus or environment to become activated.  

There is no one that knows your story better than you.  Yet, one cannot predict their own future with any degree of certainty.  The story always unfolds a little different.  To think a physician can predict ones future is also a bit of a long shot.  Heart disease is the number one killer in America with cancer being number two.  The odds are pretty high that one of those illnesses may cross your door.  The question is which and when.  I believe we are in control of our destiny more than our genes or family history.   How heart disease or other illnesses affect our lives is guided by lifestyle choices and beliefs.  Being healthy is a choice.  Being healthy is a choice.  You just need to BELIEVE.  To understand more take a listen.

Believe: Dr Kevin Elko -sports psychologist 

Do this, no, do that.  Coffee is bad.  Coffee is good.  Do these three things.  Take these medications or else.  It is no wonder that people just turn a blind ear and do nothing.  When you finally have hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, or dementia, the treatments are aimed only at the symptoms instead of the root cause.  When it comes to pain, people may think that is not such a bad thing because we do have pain medications that work well for short periods of time then cause havoc with side effects, tolerances and addiction. 

The best plan of action is to stay healthy through sunlight, diet, and exercise.  I am going to address each of these today and probably every podcast because the list is endless on how you can keep yourself healthy. 

In today's episode: 

Hormone replacement for women: stay away, I'll tell you why

Congestive heart failure: it is not a death sentence and does not have to be treated with a pharmacy of expensive medications.

Dementia: prevent it through lifestyle changes now.  Diet matters and plants alone may not do the job.  

Exercise: move all the ways and often.  I'll tell you more.

Thank your for listening.

What happens when the best laid plans fail? This is the story of Long Haul.  Why do we have to learn the same lessons with a little twist over and over?  Diet and nutrition all sound so simple on paper.  Eat a plant based diet and all will be well.  That works until the questions arise and you find yourself confused with less than perfect options.  One way out is to give up the fight, the other is to learn and grow from mistakes

I will share my frustrations, disappointment and growth from this experience.  I will also leave you with some unknowns.

How much does it cost to live forever.  There are people out there claiming they can do it for $4 a day all the way to 2 million dollars per year.  But the cost could be way more than dollars.  Some of these folks limit their human interaction to the point of isolation.  Just being plant based is a ticket to the outliers club and can be quite limiting.  Perhaps there is a compromise.

I believe that compromise is health span.  What can you do to stay out of the medical establishment  but not compromise being in longevity jail?  

I believe it costs very little.  You can go a long way obtaining your food from the grocery store, getting sunlight daily, and exercising in a way to keep strong and cardio fit without fancy equipment, tests or supplements.  

The big question is what are you willing to commit to in 2026.  If you would like to shrink your medicine cabinet, waste line and supplement bill, check out our website at doctordulaney.com

Lessons that I have learned this year.  

Lessons from coaches, my patients, and my practice.  

You do not know your full potential until you try.  The beauty is that we get to right our own story.  Our health is much the same.  We get to write that story. It is not a lab marker or a gene.  It is a multitude of factors many of which we control.  

How will I apply these lessons:

I have some unfinished racing to do.  I have changed some of my macronutrients.  I will change my fueling strategy.  

The sun plays a vital role in our health.  Find out how you can improve your health using the sun and the outdoors. 

Thank you for listening.  Happy Healthy New Year!

The Daytona 50 mile race is in the books.  It was my first road ultramarathon, and I continue to learn a little something at each race.  I believe the learning points can be applied to any new task or long term goal.  

1. Break a goal down into small parts.  This seems obvious but the trick is staying in the small part and not looking into the daunting future. 

2. Have a strategy for each segment before the segment begins and follow the plan.  Variables come up, there is always the unknown, but a strategy is a must for a baseline.

3. What is your time frame? Can you stick to it? Have you ever started a trip without a time plan?  The progress is not always what you want. 

4. Stiffness is a real concern with sitting during an ultramarathon.  However, you can get started again. 

5. Nutrition is best handled without relying on an aid station for solid foods for the most part. Its is not a buffet. 

6. Salty britches is a must for blister prevention. 

I hope you enjoy my story. Thanks for listening. 

Are marathons bad for your heart?  I will review a study that looks at imaging and blood test.  Bottom line is symptoms matter when it comes to testing accuracy.

Vitamin D is not just about bones but your immune system, your heart, and many other things.  The sun is the best source because there are so many other mechanisms in the body fueled by the sun's photons.  However, getting adequate vitamin D is a must. 

What about DHA.  Can we just rely on alpha linolenic acid from plants?   The question becomes live or thrive?  I believe we can do better with excellent DHA levels and I will discuss this during the podcast.

I am grateful for all of you who continue to tune into the podcast after all these years.  It has been a pleasure to learn and share information with those interested in being as healthy as possible.  It is easy to loose sight of the simple gifts around us.  It was a very special moment to have my grandchildren on my lap during this podcast.  A simple conversation unscripted after a simple dinner of bean soup and cornbread.  

Colt Creek 45K was also a simple gift of running in the woods in central Florida.  Even though our leaves don't change, there were beautiful purple and yellow wild flowers among fields of grass, pines and oaks.  I continue to learn with each race and increase my tool box for trouble shooting the unexpected.  Sometimes, in the moment, we are not sure what the next step might be.  The beauty I continue to learn is just to take that next step.  It all seems to work out. 

Happy Thanksgiving.  Enjoy the simple gifts around you.

This episode I will discuss coaching and being coached.  We are all  always learning.  During our time in formal education situations, it is assumed that the teacher knows best.  Do as they say, get a good grade, and proceed in achieving your goals.  We trust that they will provide accurate information to the best of their abilities.  It is expected that one completes the assignments to the best of their abilities.  Grades are assigned for performance.  But we learned in a stepwise fashion.  Simple addition before calculus.  Our exceptions were based on that progression.  Some of us developed a need to please or get good grades.  The reward being good grades, good job, and self esteem.  

As adults, we are still leaning at our own pace.  However, the information is infinite and abundant.  Only the individual knows the level of their current knowledge.  The coach has a singular goal to get the best results possible for a wide range of students.  We want to please the coach.  As adults, we can ask questions, but we still want to please the coach.  This applies to any learning situation.   

My job as a physician is to educate my patient-students.  They come from a wide variety of backgrounds and interests.  I also have a coach for ultra running.  None of us want to come up short in the eyes of the teacher.  The ultimate goal is good communication that allows everyone to learn from their own starting point.  That is what my practice has always been about.  Our success depends upon accurate feedback and adjustment from both the teacher and the student.

DHA is an omega 3 fatty acid that is abundant in the brain, the eye, and around the covering of nerves.  It is found in marine animals and algae.  Small amounts can be converted from plant sources of ALA like flaxseeds, hemp seeds, and chia seeds.  DHA levels have been found protective for mental health, cardiovascular health and immune health.  Have you passed the DHA test?  I have found that just consuming ALA is not adequate for good DHA levels in the majority of vegans.  That means some form of supplementation is necessary.  I will discuss this in this episode.  If you would like more information about how to address this issue, check our our website at doctordulaney.com

When life throws unimaginable challenges, how do we find resilience and true wellness? In this episode, we meet endurance athlete Dean Hall, who faced dual cancer diagnoses and chose a path of self-directed healing rooted in movement, purpose, and connection to nature. From grueling long-distance swims to mindful forest immersion, we explore how intentional lifestyle choices—nutrition, exercise, and mother nature—can support the body’s capacity to heal. This conversation is a testament to perseverance, curiosity, and the power of listening to both your body and the natural world.

As always, thanks for listening.

This podcast is mainly about the Coldwater Creek 50k/ 33.2 mile trail race in Anniston Alabama.  

Good news: I finished

Better news: I finished with a bang and before the cutoff.   It was close.

If you have never stopped by Anniston Alabama, you should.  The people are wonderful and it is a beautiful little town with lots of trails for mountain biking, running and hiking.  There are also lots of rocks.

I have been plant based nearly 25 years.  I eat fruits and vegetable as close to their natural state as possible most of the time.  I do not sell supplement and believe the best way to get nutrients is from the food.  We do need a B12 supplement. I have spoken about the importance of Vitamin D from the sun but the potential need for supplementation.  That said eating a nutrient complete plant based diet takes some focus, and recently I have discovered some deficiencies that could easily be missed.  My practice aims at helping individuals achieve optimal health and wellness.  In the next few weeks, I will be diving into some of those details in this podcast.  For my members, we will be doing an extensive, tailored dive into their nutritional needs and how best to achieve them.  If you would like to learn more about our practice, visit the website at

We’re surrounded by quick fixes—new miracle drugs and health hacks promising easy solutions—but real wellness still comes back to lifestyle, movement, and mindfulness. In this episode, we explore the evolving conversation around cholesterol management, the true role of these medications, and what the latest research really tells us. Balance matters—cholesterol isn’t the enemy, and exercise, nutrition, and awareness of pre-diabetes are vital pieces of the puzzle. Inspired by Jane Goodall’s life lessons, this conversation is about curiosity, resilience, and taking responsibility for your health journey.

As always, thanks for listening.

How much do we need to worry about body scans and tests?  It seems our bodies are on autopilot until our forties.  Then there comes the recommended screenings and testing.  Our we doomed to our genetics so that we need to start screening to detect the inevitable at the earliest stage possible? What happens when we find an abnormality?  Intuitively, it seems we should put things to rest before they become a problem like getting new tires.  Some people think once you break the imaginary body seal, the problems all come rushing out.  

Today I will discuss when to be worried and when to maintain.  Overall, it is better to use your body than keep it on the couch and wonder if it will work when you need it.  

Eat clean plant based food and move outside is a much better choice than looking for imperfections that need to be eliminated.  Enjoy the podcast.

What I have admired this week: The Power of Positive Thinking in Health. Staying healthy isn’t just about diet or exercise—it’s about mindset, planning, and the little details that add up over time. From Arnold Schwarzenegger’s laser focus on training to Dr. Vlek’s positive outlook, we see that real success comes from clear goals and consistent effort. Have you thought about whether your daily choices—like diet, exercise, or even getting enough sunlight and vitamin D—are really moving you forward?

Half-hearted efforts bring half-hearted results, so let’s commit, do the hard things, and enjoy the growth along the way. Have a listen, take a step toward your health today, and don’t forget to smile.

What I have admired this week: Doing Hard Things with Grace and Humility

We learn and grow more from doing hard things.  We all want to be healthy but want and desire alone does not get us that outcome.  Would you be willing to get healthier for free if a little effort was required? Have you ever stopped to ask if common practices make any difference at all in our health?  Take a multivitamin? Wear sunglasses? Wear sunscreen? Get a yearly physical?   Have a listen and then go do something hard and don't forget to smile.

This week we look into new studies into glycogen and carbohydrates—how our muscles and liver store it, what happens when it runs low, and why carbohydrates are still the best fuel for endurance athletes. We’ll also touch on research connecting plant-based diets, the microbiome, and lower cancer risk.

I hope this episode inspires you to see the science behind everyday choices, to fuel your body with confidence, and to keep pursuing health and growth at every age.

As I prepared for the Leadville 100, I found myself leaning into the wisdom of my spirit animal, the burro — steady, strong, and cautious when the trail demands it. No runner makes it alone. The coaches and support team are what made this whole thing possible. The race was full of challenges but each obstacle became part of the journey forward.

Today’s podcast is about my personal experience at Leadville, and the lessons I learned about mindset and perseverance. I hope you enjoy the podcast.

Are parasites at the root cause of cancer? Can you maintain a zero calcium score forever?  Are you more fit now than when you trained for the President's physical fitness challenge? Believe it or not, they are all somewhat related.  Not one abnormality causes disease.  We also cannot sterilize our environment to protect ourselves from pathogens.  

However, eating a plant based diet and exercising can go along way to help us navigate the microbiota that we traverse.  I hope you enjoy the podcast.  If you would like to try your hand at the Presidential physical fitness test, see the link below.  

I'm off to Leadville to run the 100 mile race across the sky.  I can't wait to tell you all about my efforts.  Until then, eat plant base and get outside at least one time per day.

Most of us prefer a steady path—training just enough, eating just enough, and aiming for just enough discomfort to grow without getting hurt. But real growth often lives at the edges—whether it's altitude, mileage, or life itself. That’s where the lessons tend to be clearer, sharper, and sometimes, more painful.

Today’s podcast is about testing limits—about racing at 12,000 feet, facing unexpected setbacks, and learning the importance of mobility, preparation, and focusing on what we can control. We’ll explore ATP, AMPK, how troubleshooting in training can prepare us for bigger goals ahead. It’s about choosing to see challenges not as failures, but as valuable data on the journey to something greater.

I hope you enjoy the listen.

We all seem to chase balance.  Not too much and not too little.  The middle tends to be more populated in the middle of the bell curve or the early adopters curve.  The extremes tend to have more risk but they also tend to be the areas of maximal growth potential.  The middle grounders are often those that play it safe.  When it comes to health, it is the moderation goal.  When it comes to exercise, it is the just enough goal.  

However, most people are worried about "not enough of".  Most lifestyle diseases occur with "too much of" The potential for learning is also greatest at both ends of the curve.  

Today's podcast is the potential benefit of not too much  and how one might determine if you suffer from too much or too little potentials.  I hope you enjoy the listen.

This week, I’m sharing my journey from a recent training camp in Leadville, Colorado. We talk about the physical and mental challenges of altitude training, how I stayed true to my plant-based diet out on the trail, and what I learned about hydration, heart health, and pushing through discomfort. We dive into the real effects of high altitude on the body and how proper preparation—and mindset—can make all the difference. I hope this episode inspires you to embrace hard things, stay true to your path, and believe in your ability to grow at any age.

We make thousands of decisions each day from food choices to navigation.  These choices are made in the face of many distractions.  Just like stress, distractions never go away, we just have the opportunity to react differently.  

Distractions occur both externally and internally.  An example might be someone trying to get you off your nutrition plan by temping you with a tasty desert.  Some may also call that guilting.  Internal distractions fuel the fire with the stories we tell ourselves to justify behaviors not inline with our goals.  That internal dialog can be quite convincing. 

Have you ever been called a perfectionist?  Have you ever felt you had something down to a perfection?  Both often result in frustration and disappointment.  There is always another level to achieve.  The aim is to enjoy or savor the process.  

I challenge you to raise the bar.  Surround yourself with people that challenge you and savor the journey towards your health goals.

Cruel Jewel was not the outcome that I was looking for with regard to finishing.  The details are shared in this podcast.  

The questions came earlier.  Am I too old, too slow to run these races? Why am I doing this to myself?  At 48 hours post race it sank in.  It is more about the start line than the finish line.  It is about taking a chance on the unknown.  I had the opportunity to confront a struggle that I chose which is different from having a struggle cast upon me. 

I was able to experience that moment when all that exists is now.  I focused on the trail.  I watched for snakes, turns, rocks and roots.  I climbed for miles and pushed my limits.  I practiced going down through roots and rocks.  I heard birds, saw beautiful rocks and traversed lush green forests (some secondary to poison oak).  I experience the struggles of others and the help and encouragement of strangers and friends.  I felt immense peace in the struggles.  I am better for having started.  My finish line came earlier on Saturday, but I am anxious and grateful for the ability to find another start line and all the unknowns that it will bring.  

Each time I start, I learn and grow.  Rarely is it perfection as defined by the outcome.  It is not so different from life.  We plan and rehearse, but the reality is that life is often much different.   It is not so bad, if we learn to enjoy the journey.  Thank you for listening to my journey.

How about eating a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.  This will allow you to do things like run, and raft, and bike ride (pedal) into your 80s.  What would a life without countless blood test and imaging be like.  Why would anyone wait in a doctors office for hours?  Why not just be healthy?

Move your body and eat plant based.  Today's episode will show you how to grow hair and health.  Neither require pharmaceuticals.  Our countries population is sick largely because of nutrition and our environment.  But it will change if you want it.  Vote with your dollars for good food and outdoor activities.

This is a race recap of the Skunk Ape 50 mile ultra in Ocala, Florida.  I was not abducted by the Skunk Ape, but willingly got in a car with Motivation as it sped off the race course.  Actually, it was Jim in a Nissan along with three other people pulling out of the race at 30 miles.  New friends and many life lessons once again having the opportunity to learn from mistakes.  

I am disappointed and I disappointed those who support me.  Everyday is not a win but I vow to learn the hard lessons at hand.  We all struggle and it is better to do it together.  That is why we are committed to helping people gain back their health through nutrition and exercise.  The struggle is real.  If you would like to learn more about the practice, check out the website: https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/

It can be very difficult to navigate the risk of a medicine or a procedure versus the benefits.  It is impossible to apply the statistics of many to one.  The study populations may be very different than those we apply the risk/benefit ratios to.  Even with the best information, we are forced to make a gamble many times. While that gamble might be unavoidable, we should not be cavalier about the decision or fail to observe and ask questions on what might be the best plan of action. 

Today's topic is atrial fibrillation and stroke risk.  What is the best course of action.  What risks can we accept.   As health care providers, we must continue to exam treatment options, but more importantly, what can we do to prevent atrial fibrillation and strokes.  

It is certainly best to avoid atrial fibrillation in the first place.  That is certainly the best plan of action.  Plant based nutrition is a low risk way to get started.  If you would like to learn more about how our practice decreases lifestyle diseases, check out the website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/

Let us help you take the first step to finding a why that will come with you on the walks and workouts.  A why that will escort you to the grocery store and kitchen.  

Modifying cardiac risks does not mean adding more testing.  It is about more action to live a healthy lifestyle.  No one is risk free despite the naivety of youth when it comes to dietary choices.  Lifestyle diseases live in the shadows and grow overtime.   That cheeseburger is a health hazard beginning in the processing through the teflon coated paper it is wrapped in.  Don't be fooled by today's affect.  That plaque may grow quicker than expected.

Sometimes you can do more than you think you can.  You find another gear to go on.  Sometimes, you stop and say you did the best that you could.  How do you feel about those decisions the next day?  Regrets? I've had a few.  It is very easy to put our decisions in cruise control and just do what is easy.  Avoid the jolts or the risks.  Just cruise.  However, we don't just cruise, we decline and before you know it, health has left the body.  We are now cruising downhill collecting diagnosis and medications.  We did the best we could.... maybe.  

Let me help you find another gear and enjoy acceleration and vitality.  The story will be much better.

We all need to ask why and how.  Why do this procedure or eat this way, and how will it help me.  Will I live longer or better?  One might think that early detection will result in better cures or outcomes.  However, the treatment may cause significant problems and not affect longevity in a positive way.  Watching rarely results in a positive change.  Why not just eat plant based and exercise?   When I look at a procedure or dietary lifestyle, I look for long term outcomes.  How will that affect my longevity? How will it affect my health span.  A few years of testimonials is not what I am looking at.  What is the long term risk? 

Today I respond to a internet doctor that suggests we do not need fiber.  None.  I also will review a recent study looking at who might benefit from a coronary calcium score.  Thanks for listening.

I am joined by Addie Majnaric, RDN today to discuss fiber and it's role in health and the potential to limit the car size of GI doctors. 

There are many hacks to lifespan on social media.  GLP-1 Agonists such as semaglutide are all the rage for curing obesity, addiction and various other ailments.  They run about $1600.00 per month.  It is too soon to determine if they result in increased longevity but a simple sulfonylurea drug such as Glyburide at $14.00 per month! was studied to see if it could lengthen life in mice and it did!  But there is a catch. There is also a catch with metformin another diabetic drug.  Most people are very willing to take something that might help if it is cheap or free even if there are potential side effects.  

One thing that also improves longevity is increased muscle mass.  And the best way to get big muscles is to lift heavy things on a regular basis. I will give you why I am even more motivated to lift heavy things and propel my body into the air on this podcast.

March is national nutrition month and we are gong to kick things off with our registered dietitian, Addie Majnaric RDN to discuss protein needs for all stages of life.  Our mission is movement and nutrition to promote a healthy lifespan.  Obtaining a balance plate of macronutrients include protein, carbohydrate and fat.  We would also like to include fiber in that equation because of the gut health benefits.  Plant based nutrition is the perfect way to get a wide variety of macronutrient sources that are easy to digest with the least toxicity. 

I finished the Long Play 33.3 this past weekend and I will provide a recap of my experience running in the Withlacoochee State Park.  It was named one of the coolest places you have never been in North America and I would have to agree.  Enjoy the listen.

We all have the ability to switch on and off mentally.  The problem is we do not often realize when or what causes the switch.  But when it does, we instantly create a dialog to support the change.  The switch is often not in sync with our bodies.  Some say it is the brains way of protecting the body from doing harm.  Sometimes it is the brains way of saying enough.  The problem comes when the brain pulls a fast one to get instant gratification or to avoid perceived mental anguish.  

The switch becomes a crossroads for overall health and even life itself on occasion.  Learning what causes your switch to flip can be very helpful in healthy decision making.  

This episode is dedicated to those who lived gallantly in body and mind until the very end.  They were wonderful mentors for a life well lived.  Thank you.

My mother used to joke and say she would take my night calls.  She would say take an aspirin and call me in the am.  Is that good advice?  The reality is that there is not a whole lot of good data to support the practice of taking an aspirin to protect against cardiovascular disease.  The reality is  there is not a whole lot of data on a lot of hospital practices.  I dive into this during this episode.

What we do know is that plant based nutrition especially nitric oxide producing greens will decrease cardiovascular events.  Getting outside and exercising builds good immunity.  If you would like to learn more or have us help you choose the best health options check out our website athttps://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/

Welcome to a tour of your heart anatomy.  Today I will describe how it works and how to keep it working.  Valentine's day is about showing those we love we care.  Today I would ask you show a little love to your own heart and the rest of you for that matter.  Your heart pumps blood into your blood vessels that go to the rest of your body.  Your brain is very demanding and requires 20% of your energy production or else it sends unwanted messages to increase heart rate and blood pressure.  

Those who exercise consistently over the years do the best at maintaining a good functioning vascular system and brain.  Eating plant based with a focus on nitric oxide producing greens will also help to maintain good blood vessels.  

Treat this Valentine's day as a day of love and appreciation for healthy behaviors.  It might just be the best day ever.

Did you know you could get medical advice in the self checkout line in the grocery store? It is amazing where people seek advise and from whom they seek it.  With today's lack of trust in the medical industry, I cannot blame them.  I hope to provide some truthful health information in my podcasts.  Thank you for taking a listen.

What was the fork in the road for your change in health trajectory?  My family history lead me to medicine, but it was a podcast on running that inspired me to change my practice.   My first marathon was to raise money for the American Diabetes Association to "find a cure".  It was changing my practice that lead to my practice success in treating diabetes.  Running has been a positive influence on my physical and mental health.  They say when you finish a marathon or an Ironman triathlon that you are changed.  It is true, but the 100 mile ultramarathon took all of that up a notch.  I will share a few stories about people in my practice that have had their own experience and others who continue to struggle.  The only difference is mindset.  

I get asked frequently about supplements.  Today I will review iron and hyaluronic acid supplements.  Take a listen.  If you would like information on how to join our practice, check out the website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/

Do you want to live to 100 or perhaps longer than relatives? Is health span more important than longevity.  How about living well until you die? These are common statements that I hear in my practice.  But rarely do people have a detailed plan to achieve their goals.  I believe most people want to live as long as they can.  

While many subscribe to supplements, life hacks and procedures, the most important thing you can do to achieve longevity is nutrition, exercise and sleep.  Everyday matters and the rate of decline can actually be measured through changes in our DNA.   What more details? Check out the podcast.   Thanks for listening.

I ran 33 miles out of 100 miles at the Long Haul 100 this past weekend and I am happy.  Last year it would have been a major disappointment not finishing.  This year I am grateful to have ran well and came away stronger than ever.  I will share the nitty gritty details of the weekend in this episode.  

There were plant based vegan people running but the majority were not including the aid stations.  That is my problem and not theirs.  So we happily bring our own food and supplies for great tent living for 48 hours.  We had 3 coolers and a jet burner to warm up food.  Most of the food was made at home such as pasta salad, tu-no salad, mushroom burgers, seitan-tofu loaf, potato soup, and tomato soup.  We had a fruit bowl and fruit juice as well as simple running foods of sunbutter and jelly and various bars.  Being plant based did not decrease our fun or enjoyment hanging out with non plant based people at a state park.  

Living your best plant based life does not have to be difficult, restrictive or limited.  When the goal is the healthiest lifespan your can achieve, nutrition and exercise are at the top of the list.  Enjoy this podcast of gratitude for a wonderful weekend with our ultra loving friends.  

Shout out to Lynda and Lew Albert for their ongoing support in our plant based ultra lives.  

Thank you for listening.

When we think of eye health, the first food that comes to mind is carrots.  We all need Vitamin A and carrots are a great source.  Eggs are also rich in Vitamin A but they are also rich in cholesterol that will not do your eyes any favors.  

Did you know your eyes are rich in mitochondria?  Being overweight is a risk for cataracts.   I had a great visit with my plant based eye doctor and will share some discussions we had.  Anywhere there is blood supply there is a risk of vascular disease.  Aerobic exercise is a great way to improve the stiffness of arteries.  How much?  Give a listen.

This has been a year of comebacks and new traditions.  The holidays  can be very stressful partially due to maintaining traditions.  Some of the traditions are not even healthy or even take away from more healthy behaviors.  Taken together with the stress of fulfilling the tasks makes for a not so joyous holiday.  As the minimalists say, does this still bring you joy?

Large sedentary family and friend gatherings with excessive amounts of calorically dense foods can derail a nutrition and movement comeback.  We added a new Christmas Eve fun run to our holiday tradition.  Less time in the kitchen and more time moving.  

I have been on a comeback journey with an ankle injury.  Who knew an ankle injury could take so long to heal? I have had to focus on what is going right more than what I am unable to accomplish running.  Step by step changing negative dialog to positive dialog.  It is not easy but is much better when I can do it.  

Comeback stories are the best, and I would like to invite you to https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ to let us help you with your comeback.  Our team would love to support you.

Today, Andy "Croom" Mathews joins me to talk about his 200 mile ultra run across Florida for his 63 third year of life.  We talk about his running career and how different it turned out from what he thought it would.  Better yet, we talked or he did, about the multiple ultras he has planned for the near future.  To say that we can do more than we think we can could not be more evident than listening to his story.

What will be your story for 2025?  The sky is the limit if you are willing to roll up your sleeves and do a few hard things.  If you have met Andy, you will know he does just that with a big old smile on his face.

The why for my podcast has not changed.  To educate people about a healthy lifestyle with regard to nutrition and exercise.  

I became a cardiologist because the people I loved most died from cardiovascular disease.  Family history certainly plays a role in health both from a genetic and environmental stand point.  It has been my mission in my medical practice to understand those risk factors and observe whether modifying lifestyle factors can influence the course of disease.  The podcast is an attempt to reach more people with a similar interest.  Bringing science and story telling together has been the evolution of the podcast.  

It is never too late to make a change towards better health.  I hope this podcast has inspired that sentiment.  I plan to expand the podcast by adding a monthly live podcast as a live discussion of questions for would be patron members.  This will begin in January on the first Friday of the month.

The holidays are upon us, and the year is coming to the end.  There could not be a more important time for mindfulness.  Where did those holiday foods come from?  What are the ingredients?  A little bite of this or that surely won't hurt you will it?  Some of those little puffed appetizers are packed full of fat and salt.  Buffet tables are full of calorie dense food that is consumed with little regard.  The next thing you know, your weight is up 5 lbs and your breathing is labored.  

Come on Doc, live a little they say. That is exactly correct.  I want to live a little longer to do the things that really matter to me.  I can still hang out with great folks eating Costco mac and cheese and have a good time without eating it.  I look forward to the healthy meals that I prepare.

The holidays are a stressful time because we expect perfection in the face of everyday reality.  Traditions are yours to make.  Turkeys were not a part of the original Thanksgiving nor was football.  When you sit around the table and reflect on being thankful for your health does it not make sense to celebrate with healthy food?  I will give you some healthy tips for the holidays in this episode and a little science to boot.  Thank you for listening.  I appreciate your kind emails and support.

There are a lot of things we can do nutritionally and movement wise to make ourselves more resilient, but achieving those goals depends on which statement we use to tell our story.  

I will share some resilience stories today along with a little science behind vitamin D supplementation and dementia.  I hope you are motivated by the stories to move a little more,  face some hard things head on and eat plant based to increase your resilience.

The Austin Ratler 50k is in the books.  More things went right than wrong.  Perhaps the what went wrong makes for a more entertaining story.  We certainly tend to learn more from the what went wrong.  They also give us practice dealing with life's obstacles.  Nothing is perfect, but not right doesn't have to be bad either. 

I hope you find this episode entertaining but can also apply some of my strategies for dealing with what goes wrong to your health journey. Thanks always for listening.

Addie Majnaric, RDN, joins me today to launch our new ebook, Powerful Plates, Fight Breast Cancer with Food.  

Rather than buy pink labeled clothing or contribute to so called breast cancer research, why not decrease your own risk of cancer.  One in 8 women will get the diagnosis.  Despite the pink, breast cancer is still very prevalent in the United States.  Most assume that it is just a roll of the dice or bad luck.  And what is even worse is that there is nothing you can do to alter your risk or increase your chance for health.  That is just not so. 

Allopathic medicine talks of informed consent and early detection but in reality, women are made to fear the diagnosis so much that they feel powerless to participate in their own health.  

Nutrition is a pillar to a healthy lifespan.  Eliminating chemicals, and additives in food and enhancing nutrient density is a game changer.  Mindset is also a powerful tool for health along with exercise and a normal BMI.  

We will be launching our Powerful Plate ebook soon that features 10 healthy easy to prepare recipes that are powerhouses of nutrients for the whole family, but especially for women wishing to improve their prognosis when it comes to breast cancer.  The recipes feature fiber, betacarotene, antioxidants, cruciferous vegetables, soy, and mushrooms.  We added a fall twist with the addition of sweet potatoes and pumpkin.  These are Plant Based Wellness practice favorites that the entire family will enjoy.  I hope you enjoy our discussion.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  I hope hurricane Milton was the last one of the season.  I will share our experience and tips for maintaining plant based nutrition when some of life's conveniences are not possible. Some people say aging is not for the weak.  I am hear to tell you that you can write your own story.  Why is your aging style any different than your choice of clothing style or decorating style.  You get to choose.  However, it is easier to dial that style in earlier versus later.  I believe most people do not actively plan how they will age, the goal is to just be pain free.  A pain free existence may have the side effect of loss of strength and mobility.  This will ultimately lead to more and more dependance on the help of others.  

What is the difference between nitrates, nitrites, and nitric oxide.  Can your body use all of these for health?  Stated another way, is bologna equal to kale in nitric oxide potential? 

I hope you enjoy the episode.  I hope your aging choice is one of activity and engagement with others.  We can help you achieve your goals if you would like.  Visit https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ if interested in taking your health to the next level.

Breast cancer awareness is more than just pink ribbons and mammogram scheduling.  It certainly is a scary diagnosis.  Nearly 1 in 9 women will get the diagnosis.  The good news is there are things we can do to prevent it and also things we can do to treat and prevent recurrence. You have a voice in your own healthcare.  We will discuss this as well as gastric cancer screening and heart failure treatment in this episode.  

Confidence comes from repetition whether it is advancing from a 5k to a marathon or changing from a SAD diet to a plant strong diet.  Repetition and consistency.  That does not mean it is easy.  In fact doing hard things is what life is all about.  The reward is health and health span.  Just like training for a marathon, a coach can help you to see if you are training to hard or not hard enough.  Our practice is based on working WITH people to assess goals, problems, and therapies.  It is not a protocol or one size fits all.  I hope you enjoy the episode.  Thank you always for listening.

Autoimmune diseases are often thought to be genetic.  However, there are many people with at risk DNA that never develop the disease.  DNA does not turn on by itself.  There has to be a stimulus and often it is a protein that is the trigger.  Type 1 Diabetes occurs mainly in young children and is the result of pancreatic islet cell destruction by an autoimmune process.  One's own body produces antibodies directed against the islet cells and insulin precursors.  How do we make our children less susceptible to autoimmune diseases? Is there a trigger that one can eliminate that would markedly decrease the incidence of Type 1 Diabetes? 

My guest Addie Majnaric, RDN and I discuss 2 studies that suggest that there are things we can do as parents to decrease the risk of Type I Diabetes. 

Family nutrition often takes a back seat when scrambling for time.  Anyone would like to avoid the stress of the breakfast table.  But are we setting our children up for chronic diseases and narrow palates?  Addie will give some inexpensive alternatives.

As many as 40% of children have a chronic disease.  Why is this?  I believe  our food is a major reason.  We would love to help you navigate the muddy water of food choices and menu planning.  Email Addie Majnaric RND at addie@doctordulaney.com to schedule your consultation.  We meet people where they are and help them to navigate their way to better health.

My wellness practice works with people living in the real world.  Not a controlled environment. I have the opportunity to observe when people are walking the walk then fall.  It is a great learning experience for me and a potential learning experience for the person struggling.  Potential because they need to be mindful enough to see what really works versus just going through the motions of change. Each person has the ability to observe what works and what is going through the motions.  Failure is a great teacher if the student is ready.  How much do you want it? Part of the problem is defining what true health is.  

The magic number is the plateau weight for men and women in the general population.  The density or energy content of food has markedly changed over the past 50 years, and so has the average weight of men and women.  Not the healthy weight, but the weight that is achieved by everyone eating similar energy packed food.  It is the new normal, but it is the new unhealthy normal.  How bad is it?  It depends if you want to support the business of medicine through pharmaceuticals and procedures.  They won't cure you or make you live longer or better but they will help you get to the next cocktail party.  

If you are ready for a change, we can help.  We can show you how to live healthy and happy in an unhealthy and largely unhappy world.  Check out our website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/

What does it mean if you are in that 25% of the population than has an abnormally high Lp(a)? Is it worth loosing sleep over?  I can assure you that will not fix the problem.  So many studies correlate numbers with potential outcomes.  It seems logical, but it often is not the case.  Just ask a 90 year old Italian with a high Lp(a).  

Even worry is treated with a medication, and there is no known biochemical pathway that correlates with worry.  The treatment effect, like most psychiatric medications, is just to dull awareness.  What a great quality of life that must be.  Most people want to avoid dementia but think nothing of medications that dull your cognitive abilities.  Hence, don't operate heavy machinery which should include a car.  If they said car, less people might opt out of taking said mind dulling medications. 

It all gets back to the root cause of not feeling well.  Do you have a disease or a side effect of medication.  Perhaps you are suffering from a lack of exercise induced mitochondrial dysfunction.  I hope you enjoy the rant and thank you for listening.

48% of adults carry the diagnosis of hypertension.  They are diagnosed and placed on medication usually based on protocols.  Very rarely are people assessed for why they have hypertension.  Certainly, nutrition is a large contributor to elevations in blood pressure both from excessive sodium intake and vascular damage from a high fat diet.  But the reaction to stressful situations also plays a role.  Stress is perceived by the individual and the reaction is also controlled by the individual.  The emphasis is on eliminating stress, but that is not a realistic option because it is the perception of the individual about what defines stress.  We all possess the ability to choose our reactions.  It is easier said than done but certainly beat the health consequences of ignoring the problem.

Most lifestyle diseases are a result of impaired metabolism.  Our muscles are a major user of energy, and the organelle that is the power plant of the cell is the mitochondria.  As we lose muscle mass, we lose mitochondria.  This leads to impaired energy utilization as well as the risks of falls and brain perfusion of nutrients.  Bottom line, we all need to train to maintain our muscle mass or regain muscle mass if lost through inactivity.  It can be the difference in living independently or the ability to participate actively in life. 

We will discuss approaches to strength training as well as fueling for recovery.  How much and how often or is anything better than nothing are often topics of concern. 

Given Nathan’s diverse training experience, we feel comfortable of offering online training programs specifically designed for an individual’s goal.  We will also begin to offer limited personal instruction for those with specific needs and the desire to have a someone that can interact with them to achieve a specific goal.

A New England Journal of Medicine Study looked at how much energy people thought they consumed, and how much energy they actually burned.  They compared two groups of overweight individuals based on reported energy consumption.  Group one had difficulty loosing weight despite a reported 1200 kcal or less consumption of food and vigorous exercise.  There were some surprising findings and some consistent findings that I think you will find interesting. 

Nutrition is one of the biggest contributors to a healthy life span yet we ignore it's significance and celebrate eating poorly.  We are made to believe that overindulgence is necessary for true happiness.  We look at food restrictions as a form of punishment.  

We would like to help turn this around by promoting mindful healthy eating that is enjoyable.  We also celebrate movement to preserve lean muscle mass and mobility.  Check our our website to see what we can do to make you achieve your health goals to insure a healthy life span.

What are your health goals?  Do you have a bucket list?  My grandmother used to say that if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.  I think there is a lot of confusion between wishing we were healthy and having a plan to do something about it.  We wish there was a magic pill or supplement that would make us young, healthy, energetic, and happy.  It would be even better in the form of a gummy that tasted like candy.  Sorry, that is not an option. 

I think it is important to see or imagine yourself as you would like to be, and then initiate the step to complete that journey.  It is not wishing.  It is action.

I just turned 62, and I am walking and running better than I did the last half of 61.  I am working the plan to achieve my bucket list.  And as I empty the list, I am filling it up.

We would be honored to help you visualize your health journey and take the steps needed to work on your bucket list.  Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com with questions.

Our cookbook https://a.co/d/boa3e6v

What is a whole food? What is a clean food?  Those terms are thrown around with authority and ultimately blend into just food.  If you ask most people on a diet, they will throw out that they are eating 1200 calories a day.  That seems to be the magic number that has stuck in the diet world.  Apps are available that helps one to prove a point.  They are only as good as what is entered.  I have never had a person tell me that they consumed 3000 calories in a day, but I am sure it happens on a regular basis and more often than 1200 calories.  What about the weight of food?  Does a pound of chips have the same amount of energy as a pound of potatoes?  What about a pound of carrots.  

It turns out that vegetables, tubers, and fruit contain about the right amount of calories per pound for humans to consume and maintain a healthy weight.  It also turns out that we as a society do not burn near the calories as a typical hunter-gatherer society.  It is also true that men burn more calories per pound of body weight than women.  

I hope you enjoy the episode.  It you would like help matching your energy consumption with your energy usage, email me at jami@doctordulaney.com.

The Comfort Crisis by Micheal Easter

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. 

What will you do with the results of a test? How will you react? I was very happy to see normal bones and joints on a recent CT scan of my leg, but it did not show the source of my ankle pain.  Good news! Nothing bad.  I can return to training.  It could also be interpreted as I am still in pain and don’t know why.  I am taking the win and I am grateful.  It is good to exclude bad things even if you do not know exactly what the problem is.  The odds are in your favor for a good outcome.  Testing and procedures are a game of risk and reward.  Having a plan for the outcome before diving in is always a good idea. 

Walking an hour a day is good, but how fast do you need to go?  However, how fast your heart rate goes up is also important. 

I take a little dive into these topics as well as some tropical fruit suggestions.

Pills, potions and procedures aimed at curing ailments. The web is full of devices and programs that promise pain relief, younger bodies, and happier lives.  Miracles by definition are not a common occurrences, yet they are promised daily.  It is hard not to give them a try.  Nothing to loose they say, but often the disappointment is not too long thereafter.  I have gone down that road as well many times.  A little glimmer of hope to a solution that is much more complicated than it originally seemed.  My latest running injury is such an example. Insoles or a shoe change for instant relief, running hard to clear the cobwebs that might be the issue, bounce house jumping to better mobility, or sand dune running perhaps.  

In the end we realize there is no quick fix.  But there is the opportunity to learn and do the work it takes to really make a change.  They don't say patience is a virtue for no good reason. 

Eating an plant based diet and getting stronger can only help. It is not quick, but the rewards are many.  I will share a few reasons on this podcast.   Add another box of tofu to the basket, and I hope you enjoy the podcast.  We would love to help you and your family tradition to become healthier and stronger.  Check out our website at https://doctordulaney.com/services/pcp-cardiology-nutrition/#pricing

The new word is extreme with regard to diet choice.  Moderation is out! The reality is, it was never in.  The abundance of food choices has grown making moderation only an imaginable concept.  I think it is good to always be open to change that supports your goals.  Perhaps  your goals change requiring nutritional changes, or change is needed to support your existing goals.  None the less, you need to be mindful of your why in order to achieve those goals when the going gets tough.  There is constant input for "the best" diet that has no way of knowing your nutritional needs or why. 

Be aware of headlines beginning with "study shows" or "experts suggest".  It becomes a slippery slop to find what is actually behind the headlines.

I think the best place to start is to clearly define your goals and the reason or why you have chosen them.  Nutrition needs change over time.  Growing children need different amounts of nutrients that adults.  Nursing and pregnant women have different needs.  So do people recovering from injury or surgeries.  The problem is that nutritional choices don't always show up immediately.  People blame high school and college sports injuries for joint pain 25 years later but never implement their nutritional choices.  

Today, I reflect on my nutrition choices and how my life might have been different following a plan of moderation.  If you would like some help guiding nutritional changes to meet your health goals, check out our website at https://doctordulaney.com/services/pcp-cardiology-nutrition/#pricing

This episode gives you a glimpse into running in the mountains of Leadville.  I like hard things and I believe we can do just about anything we put our minds to.  You can do more than you think you can is the motto of the Leadville Race Founder Ken Chlouber.  Why not me? Why not you?  

I believe the key to a long health span is staying strong and eating plant based. The Prevent study looks at a formula to calculate the 10 year risk of having a cardiac event.  Those risk factors need to be reversed not medicated.  One thing for sure is that grass fed butter is not the answer.

We have been conditioned to believe that discomfort or an illness can only be fixed by a procedure or medication.  It is out of our hands.  Allopathic reductionist medicine created that concept making us dependent.  Our only hope is early detection of illnesses sure to happen.  

Dementia is another issue all together.  It is all to familiar and there appears to be no stopping the progression once it starts.  That holds true for medications at least.  Early testing results in a longer period to worry about the future.  Most people believe it is genetics and bad luck.  Dean Ornish, MD recently published a randomized controlled trial showing improvement in early dementia symptoms and biomarkers using a plant based diet along with exercise and stress management.  This preliminary study is wonderful news to support a basic whole foods plant based diet.  No gimmicks or need for specialized foods.  No fancy exercise protocols.  Just basic good nutrition and movement with attention to mindfulness.  

The bottom line is the more effort you make, the better the results.  Consistency is key just like in any other lifestyle change.  That is the hard part because so many people are looking for a quick fix that requires no changes on their part.  However, if you would like to take control of your healthspan, check out our website.

Can you bank longevity? What about fitness?  Improving fitness at any age will help to increase your health span which may translate into more time living an active and independent life.  This is not just for seniors because heart muscle starts to deteriorate in the early forties along with heart function.  Blood vessels stiffness while you are eating at your favorite fast food restaurant. 

More worrisome news about GLp-1 agonists and the ketogenic diet.  Oh and don't believe your keto doctor if he tells you he is getting adequate fiber. 

Finally, thank you to my 90 year old patients.  You have always been the most loyal and humble group of people I have had the pleasure to learn from.  As a song once said human kindness is overflowing.  I think it might rain today.

We age and our cells age.  About every three months our red blood cells turn over for example.  What happens to the old cells? How do we eliminate them?  Our immune system plays a vital role in eliminating old cells or senescent cells.  Unfortunately, our immune system also slows down so we start to accumulate these "zombie" senescent cells.  This month Nature magazine discusses new drugs and repurposed drugs to eliminate these cells.  However, these medications also have side effects and substantial costs.  Since we all age, should everyone start these medications or do we wait until there is a problem like diabetes, Alzheimers, or vascular disease?  Another alternative might be to decrease the amount of zombie cells in the first place or protect our immune system so it functions longer.  

You guest it.  Nutrition and exercise play a key role as an alternative to decrease zombie cell accumulation.  

Thanks for listening.

I was fortunate to go to Blue Ridge and Blairsville Georgia this past weekend to toe the line at the Cruel Jewel 50 mile ultra race.  The ultra running community are my people.  Tenacious, positive, and tremendous athletes all humble at the same time.  It did not goes as I would have wished for, but it did go for how I was trained.  I got to see where I was at a fitness level and experience some of the most beautiful and peaceful forests.  That area crosses the Appalachian trail.   People on the trail give other hikers trail names.  I had a trail angel this weekend.  I gave him the name of Russ Angel because of time he gave to rescue me and others after we pulled the white flag.  I hope you enjoy my trail tails.  It was a great weekend despite coming up short.

Ultra running and life are so much alike.  You need a plan and you need to work the plan.  When it does not work, you need to adjust the plan.  The bottom line is forward progress.  Maybe not that day, but the next day it is time to get back on the journey whether it is trail or health.  If you would like some help with your health journey, visit our website to fine out how you can join our practice. 

Thank you to Russ Marlowe and Sandy Geisel for your support.  Shout out to Rich and Tony and the swanky red pick-up.  Thank you to Sarah Snyder and her staff as the race director.  Like Sarah says, poor decisions make for better stories.  She is most famous for saying, try not to be an asshole.  Words to live by.  Thank you.

Are you planning for your decline or planning your next adventure?  That adventure might mean a great day at the beach with your grandchildren or other adventures that require you to be active and mobile.  

Today's podcast will give you some insight on things that may help or hinder those plans.  Why be secluded to the sidelines when you could be an active participant in life? 

In the Journal of Nature on May 2, 2024 there was an article discussing the most basic molecular changes with endurance training that affects a multitude of processes that have the potential to impact the health of the immune system, and organs such as the heart, kidneys, colon, brain and liver.  There were positive changes at the genetic level with endurance training of just 8 weeks. What are you waiting for? That was not the case with omega 3 supplements or a fat pad around the heart.  

Enjoy the episode and then plan for an active future.  Need more guidance, then check our our website to see how we can guide you to your next adventure. 

Thank you for listening.

Do you prefer to age gracefully or go full speed ahead into the unknown?  Do you remember how alive the fellas in the movie felt doing the things on their bucket list?  Do you think people even realize how bad they feel, if they can feel, on the handful of medications that they take everyday?  How do you stay young at heart while keeping your heart young? 

I believe life is full of challenges, and age should not stop you from living life fully.  Doing the bucket list requires more training as we age.  Notice I did not say it requires more testing or procedures.  If you want to be excited about the possibilities ahead, listen to this episode and check our our website for information on how you can age robustly.

Risk factors for Lifestyle diseases are increased BMI, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, sedentary lifestyle and metabolic dysfunction ranging from glucose intolerance to diabetes.  Traditionally, younger people do not get lifestyle diseases because they may either have no risk factors or only have one.  More and more younger people now have multiple risk factors in the presence of glucose intolerance.  This places them at increased risk for the early development of lifestyle diseases.  

Studies claiming that cholesterol is not bad often look towards a young population with no other risk factors.  They may not manifest disease as quickly and it is assumed that they never will.  Some may not but we just don't know.  Often, we hang onto studies that support our nutritional choices even though we may not have anything in common with the study population.  Risk factors are there and cumulative.  Work on eliminating them and you might just avoid a lifestyle disease.  

If you are interested in getting healthy by adopting a plant based lifestyle and daily exercise, give us a shout.  We can get you on track.

My favorite lunch is a salad, and not the same salad every day.  I like to change things up.  Restaurants know that a salad is not exciting so they spruce it up with high calorie toppers and dressings.  Often, they have more calories than a sandwich and fries.  But, you can still tell the doctor, you just had a salad for lunch.  I will let you in on my salad secrets on this episode.  I will also give you a some more reasons to lace up your shoes and start walking.  Finally, I will finish with the controversial topic of Vitamin D.

This is the weekend of the Masters Golf Tournament.  To begin there was an honorary start with Tee shots by Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tom Watson.  Gary is the oldest at 88.  He was the most spry and energetic.  As a student of the game of golf, I would like to share my takes on the sport and how it relates to health.  I believe Gary Player is an outlier, and here is why.

Who are you?  What story do you use to answer that question?  Perhaps your story fits who you are but not who you wish to be.  Today's podcast is about changing the story to become more healthy.  Our story can help us accept our circumstances, but we often forget we are the authors of our future selves.  

Changing who you are is about changing your story.  Did a health crisis change your story?  Health care providers are at a very high risk of planting seeds to change people's story.  Perhaps you were active then had an accident.  The doctor said you have bad knees.  You rewrite your story to fit your bad knees.  You cannot run, walk, or do sports.  You gain weight because of your bad knees.  You no longer enjoy travel because of your knees.  Your story totally changes because of what your doctor said about your knees.  

Today's episode is about changing your story.  It certainly is not easy.  But the joy of becoming the Real You is worth a little suffering.  It is not a kick start or quick fix, it is a change in focus.  A change in your story that can lead your to a healthier life.  Have a listen.  Thank you.

Telomeres are the end caps on DNA that protect it from unraveling.  They can be measure in white blood cells to determine their length.  The shorter they become, the more likely for the DNA to start to develop errors.  This leads to failure of the bodies organs and functions i.e. aging.  It has recently been linked to the risk of developing heart failure.  

There is another blood test that looks for DNA fragments in the plasma of the blood that is associated with colon cancer.  Detecting advanced cancers is pretty good.  It is not so good at detecting early treatable cancers.  It is just a blood test.  However, it is not perfect so what will you do with the results.  

If a breast cancer tumor expresses estrogen receptors then inhibiting estrogen should decrease the cancer growth.  How much is enough? 

All of the above sound like reasonable tests and solutions.  But do they prolong survival ?  Very few studies actually look at overall survival resulting from an intervention.  They look at disease free survival, or tumor regression, or ability to diagnosis a cancer.  It seems as though a diagnosis could lead to more rapid treatment or more aggressive treatment would lead to a better outcome.  But what are the downsides of a therapy or early diagnosis that might ultimately lead to side effects that shorten lifespan or decrease quality of lifespan.  

Doing something and being aggressive are seen as positive interventions.  Why don't we view lifestyle changes in the same way?

Aerobic exercise and strength training positively affects muscle mass, mitochondrial function, mental well being, and lifespan with very few side effects.  If you are interested in learning how you can positively affect your healthspan, check out our websites at https://doctordulaney.com/services/pcp-cardiology-nutrition/#pricing

Burro racers will tell you that a burro needs to feel safe in order to try something new.  He will not be lured into a bad situation as he sees it.  Horses are much more about pushing to the limits and need a variety of coaching to reach their potential.  

When we discuss lifestyle changes with people, we need to know how they react to various forms of coaching.  

Some people join a bootcamp that have not exercised in years only to get beat up in the first few sessions by a drill master that is trying to whip everyone in shape.  They get injured and never go back, and reinforce why they are not cut out for the change. Some people are over the top and need a coach to actually slow them down before they hurt themselves.  Finally, there are those that continue steady forward progress completing step after step with a continued eye on the goal.  Knowing which type you are is important when you decide to embark on lifestyle changes. 

There are  multiple ways to make healthy lifestyle improvements.  Check  out our website at https://doctordulaney.com/services/pcp-cardiology-nutrition/#pricing

Are we at the mercy of our genetics?  Should we just accept our fate as being genetically flawed is some way or another.  There is talk about plasticity of the brain or forming new circuits.  Body builders change their shape through specific workouts.  We can become runners after starting a couch to 5 K program.  So why do we think we cannot change our genetic fate when it comes to cancer or cardiovascular disease. 

Most allopathic physicians focus on testing and following disease progression.  I  even heard  from a patient that was told by a cardiologist that he will know when he needs him.  Why wait until you already have disease?  The only preventative therapy is medication in the world of sick care.   Take as much as you can tolerate before side effects become intolerable.  

One such example is the release of new medications that become part of protocols that everyone with a diagnosis receives.  No individual evaluation.  One size fits all.  A pharmaceutical representative educates providers with the study results.  There is only time for the conclusion.  There is no discussion of the actual patients studied or of the patients that were rejected from the study because of intolerances.  Just prescribe the new drug and eat a free lunch.

However, you can greatly influence your longevity through nutrition and exercise.  Start the journey and continue to grow and build your comfort levels.  Track your wins or progress.  Note how you feel after exercise or eating well.  And if you would like some guidance or support, check out our website to see how you can become a member of our practice.

I had the pleasure of welcoming my second grandchild, Cecelia Joy, into the world last week.  It is a blessing getting to experience the world through the eyes of a child, and do be able to do it as a grandparent is even more special.  We have time and perspective that allows us to have a special bond different from the parents.  The pressure is off.  We are the good guys.  

But how much time, and what is the quality of that time?  My grandparents died when I was fairly young and I wished I had more time with them.  For the last several years of their lives, they were not that mobile and limited in their activities.  It does not have to be that way.  But you cannot rely on luck.  How do you get to be the cool grandparent that does not hold anyone back and encourages living life to the fullest.

As we approach Super Bowl Weekend, we will hear about how a  positive mental attitude and optimism affect high level athletics.  Why not me? Anything is possible if you believe.  We can win if we execute our game plan.  

We root  for our teams and send them positive vibes believing that it makes a difference.  But when it comes to our own health, it seems unlikely that we can have an influence.  It is our genes.  It is the institution and physicians that we need to make us well.  We are at the mercy of the latest technology.  

Optimism and a positive mental attitude can lower the incidence of cardiovascular disease and mortality significantly.  Our thoughts are very much tied to our autonomic nervous system which affects blood pressure, inflammation, and even our DNA.  There are no side effect to administering or training our minds to be more positive.  Why not you?  

You have to start training.  Why not start with breakfast.  Enjoy this episodes and get your PMA going.

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 to get rid of especially if you are a male.  So before your health care provider starts to worry you, listen to this podcast and find out if your are at risk.  

Why is there a national donut day and not a fruit day?  Why are people afraid of fruit?  Is eating fruit flavored things the same as eating fruit?  That seems to be just fine in mainstream information.  No one has blamed donuts for causing cancer.  In fact they have a holiday.  Why not fruit?  

Doctor: you are gaining weight.  Patient: It is the fruit.  The answer is in the podcast.

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?

Did you know that Oreos lower cholesterol more than statins?  In a study of one it did.  I was not the subject.  But is was creative science that has received a lot of clicks on the web.

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 pack jeep roads.  Mother nature added water and mud.... Lots of it. 

I want to thank my crew: Michael Hubbard, Lynda and Lew Albert, and Timaree Hagenburger.  Without them, the story would be much different.  They helped me and cared for me selflessly in cold, windy, conditions all day, all night, and into the next afternoon.  The best part is that we are all ready to do it again.  Just not tomorrow.  Thanks to Andy Matthews, the race director for his tireless efforts to put on a race in extreme conditions.  I hope he gets the mud out of his jeep wheels someday.  

I hope you enjoy my story of the Long Haul 100.  

Life is better when we do it together, and even better if we do it outside.  Visit a state park with your friends and family and you will see it is the best $3 you will ever spend.

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 about hand grip, Vitamin D and social isolation?  I will discuss these and the others .

People often say this or that hospital is ranked number one and is the best.  Why? Are you falling for purchased endorsements or advertisements?  Is bigger better.  For profit hospitals and especially Private Equity owned institutions have been associated with more medical errors, increased fall risks, and more blood infections.  Are your health care choices motivated by corporate performance or patient care.  Choose wisely while you still can.  

You will have to listen to the episode to find out what simple exercise will add 3 years to your life and decrease your risk of a stroke by 40%.

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 little more simple.  

I present a study today on sodium and blood pressure.  The take away was that nearly everyone can lower their bp by reducing the sodium intake.  The best way to do this is make food yourself.  I will give you a few examples in today's podcast for celebrating a little healthier. 

We are going live with our online virtual level one membership.  For $25.00 a month, you can have access to ALL of our online content.  It would be a great gift as well.  The content includes lectures, videos, recipes, newsletters, wellness challenges and much more.  We look forward to you joining our community.  Go to doctordulaney.com to sign up now.

The holiday season is a time for friends and families to come together to celebrate another year and the light that brings us all together.  Eating healthy makes the enjoyment all the more positive. 

However, nutrition alone is not able to keep us agile and healthy.  We need to move.  Those people that say that grain is bad because it is relatively new in terms of human existence never seem to mention another new thing to humans and that is a sedentary lifestyle.  The easy button is really new! Don't cook, don't walk, don't go outside but please have a seat in this comfy recliner.  I am going to present two paths to choose in today's podcast with real life examples.  I hope it motivates your to move more and celebrate your health with those around you.

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 supposed "right answer" a lot of the time, and this has even been shown in numerous psychological studies.  However, in this short study, the food was supplied.  They also had a twin to keep them honest and compete with. 

In as little as 2 months, the plant based twins saw a statistically significant improvement over the omnivore group with regard to lifestyle disease risk factors and weight. 

Two month or 8 weeks!.  They saw results.  The debate is over.  It works if you do it.  The if is the big question.  How do you sustain a healthy plant based diet?  It is not as hard as some people would like you to believe.  You don't need potato starch paper to put supplements on to swallow.  You don't need to eat dehydrated soup for every meal or count your blueberries.  You need a goal and simple meals. 

I am training for a 100 mile foot race on plants.  My recovery is excellent.  My muscles are not wasting.  My energy is good.  Take your own challenge.  Surprise your doctor.  Surprise your friends.  Learn more about our practice.  Join us to spread the health.  Visit the website at doctordulaney.com

The problem with running is that we tend to do too much too quick whether that is volume or speed.  The most common injuries come from early stress to the small tendons, bones and ligaments that support our weight.  The biggest fallacy is permanent knee injury.  Most knee injuries are again associated with ligaments and tendons and not destruction of the joint. 

Most injuries arise from or are exacerbated by faulty mechanics.  A child runs perfect until we put clunky shoes on them.  Because we become more sedentary as we age, we are prone to more injuries when we suddenly take to running at a later age. 

Enter Dr Matt Minard.  He will share with us today some ques for more efficient and safer running with the goal of extending our running longevity for many years to come.   He has a podcast for those who like to listen, but I would suggest his Instagram clips and YouTube videos for excellent training tips and demonstrations.  He also does private analysis of running form and coaching if you become interested.   I hope you enjoy the podcast.

We will discuss Thanksgiving Dish Substitutes as well as hidden ingredients in  what may seem like a plant based dish. 

Thanksgiving food and overeating is not just hard on your waistline but can be very hard on your heart.  The sodium in a day's worth of overindulgent foods can very quickly make the blood pressure skyrocket, and the water retention can lead to heart failure.   A few quick tips can go a long way to keep you healthy. 

The holiday season can be very stressful.  Honesty is the best policy.  Being with your family and friends is of utmost importance.  The first step is to tell people how much they mean to you and how much you enjoy their company.  However,  you also need to ask for their support in your food choices.  Make it easy and bring a few dishes as possible.  Keep the food talk minimal and light.  It is not the time for a health lecture. 

If you get through this first feasting holiday, you will have the confidence to continue on your health journey.  Make every day count.  It is the people that make the holiday not the food.  

Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving from all of us at Jami Dulaney, MD Health and Wellness Practice.  

After working in industry for many years he became fascinated with processed food ingredients.  He shared that every ingredient in food has a purpose.  Most are to provide shelf life, texture, and stability.  As time has passed more of these ingredients are derived from a chemical reaction versus plant source extraction. 

Certain ingredients are listed just by acronyms that stand for long chemical names that would take up too much space and possibly raise suspicion. 

TBHQ-Tert-butylhydroquinone-prolonged or high exposures can cause DNA damage or tumors.

Datem-diacetyl tartaric acid-food emulsifier for springy texture

BHA-butylated hydroxyanisole-it is a chemically derived antioxidant that can become rancid over time.

BHT-butylated hydroxytoluene-chemically derived antioxidant or shelf stabilizer.

Mel’s interest was so peaked that he dedicated over a year to research the additives at three fast food restaurants: Taco Bell, McDonalds, and Pizza Hut. Enjoy the back-room chemistry secrets to the ingredients you never notice or even thought about.

Thanks for listening.
