Good Day Health

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with what he sees from patients after the first of the year. Primarily, part of New Year’s Resolutions include a focus on health, with people coming into the doctor’s office more often to check in on their health, especially with the overindulgence from the holiday season. January, in general, is a time of huge interest in one’s health. Then, the conversation shifts to a lab-grown heart, creating hopeful treatments for the future to regrow human organs. Continuous research and trials are intended to lead to successful transplants without needing donor waiting lists. Next up, Doug and Dr. Ken dive into Myasthenia Gravis (MG), a chronic autoimmune disease causing fluctuating weakness in voluntary muscles (eyes, face, swallowing, limbs) that worsens with activity and improves with rest, due to nerve signals being blocked from reaching muscles by the immune system. There is now a FDA approved treatment offering new hope to patients with MG. Shifting focus to mental health, a review finds some patients are able to safely taper off some of the antidepressants, a new hope following criticism that once you got on these drugs you can’t get off of them. Rounding out the conversation, listener questions are addressed, including the dangers of hair loss pills and potential benefits of topicals over consumed OTC or prescribed medications, surprising benefits of vitamin D that go beyond bone health, if women should exercise differently than men or if age matters more than sex, and more.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

If you didn’t know, your ankles are not suppose to swell. Now, if one ankle is swelling, that’s likely more of a lymphatic issue. Dr. Jack addresses these issues and how they pertain to high blood pressure.Next up, Jack covers bone density, how to measure it and when to know if there could be an issue.  Tying into the topics addressed, Dr. Jack also addresses Big Pharma’s advertising to convince 90% of people in America that there are blood pressure issues running rampant and the only way to address it is with medications for the rest of your life. This raises the question, “Are the standards outdated?”Lastly, Doug joins to answer listener questions with Dr. Jack, including warnings about the risks of taking melatonin and how it correlates with an increased risk of heart disease, what sleep aids work with minimal side effects, and more. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss “Holiday Heart,” AKA atrial fabulation (A-Fib) when the heart beats like a bag of worms and is caused by excessive drinking alcohol and binge-drinking. It can really lead to A-fib, put you in the hospital and ruin the festivities and celebration. Doug and Dr. Ken agree that alcohol is overrated. They aren’t alone. Statistics indicate that fewer and fewer people are drinking and less alcohol is being sold than years prior. Then, the conversation switches to the flu and a rapidly increasing number of flu-related hospitalizations. This year, the flu is not a single strain, showing mutations allowing it to evade current flu vaccines. Shifting focus to longevity and health, Doug and Dr. Ken address research on populations with super-agers shows they don’t eat a lot of meat. For instance, many in Japan who live mostly on fish products tend to live an average of at least 10 years longer than those who eat meats. Additionally, those who eat highly processed meats tend to live shorter lives. Listener questions addressed include heightened digestive problems due to the holidays, how do we know what medications are best for us and how to trust Big Pharma, and much more. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks
