Navigating Breast Health without Mammograms – Taking Action- #7

Mammograms cause breast cancer thus making their use problematic. There are ample other avenues of detection that do not involve radiation. Your lifestyle choices may trump all of this and put you in a different risk class entirely.

Joint Health – Extending Joint Longevity- #6

There are incredible non-invasive or minimally invasive techniques to restore joint health and avoid surgery. We will explore Dr. Bianco’s path and experience in this amazing field of joint restoration and offer you simple steps that you can engage to ease pain. Upfront summary: 1. Modern technology such as stem cells and exosomes allow us to accomplish results that weren’t available 10 years ago. 2. You can rebuild, restore and regenerate joint health in ways that surgery cannot, such as restoring cartilage. 3. Everyone over the age of 50 has some degree of arthritis but not everyone feels pain. Having arthritis and having pain are not synonymous. 4. We are going to discuss the differences between these injection therapies: · PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma, an older technology using your own growth factors. · Stem cells & exosomes offer a huge magnitude of difference over PRP and supply true healing power. · Prolotherapy – stimulates the body’s natural repair process. · Ozone stimulates 3 modes of action: mitochondrial energy, detoxification, and immune system stabilization and support. It also works to animate stem cells for repair. 5. Adjuncts that support and amplify these injection therapies: · Peptides – BPC-157 is a natural occurring protein that stimulates a sharp rise in repair molecules VEGF, Factor VIII, collagen, and CD34. · Glucosamine & Chondroitin – stimulates chondrocytes to generate new cartilage and create hyaluronic acid for lubrication. · MSM – antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, makes cartilage stronger. · Boswellia & Curcumin – reduce inflammation like NSAIDS but without the side effect and danger. · Joint & Body Collagen (HippEvo) – Fortigel and Tendoactive are proven elements to strengthen joints and reduce inflammation. · Hyperbaric Oxygen chamber at Huber Personalized Medicine – doubles the speed of repair for a quicker return to action. · Red light laser therapy – mitochondrial stimulation to augment repair energy

Rapid Fire Nutrition. Top 10 Questions- #5

Chelsea acquired her degree from the University of Kentucky and spent the early years of her career as the regional dietitian for Lifetime Fitness. At that time Dr. Huber was contracted to providing monthly education to the trainers on weight loss, exercise, and the path for engaging an integrative approach to health. Chelsea joined Dr. Huber’s practice in 2013 and went on to develop a corporate health program that she currently operates with great success. Chelsea has expanded her knowledge base into the full spectrum of integrative medicine which includes adrenal fatigue, thyroid balance, hormone balance, heavy metal detox, allergy therapies, and more. Her well rounded view of health allows her to see medical issues that are often overlooked by narrow focused specialists. Chelsea was asked to respond with brief answers to the top 10 nutritional questions that impact your health. This was intended to be a quick hit, rapid fire discussion and not an in depth analysis of all of this issues but we will let you be the judge as to whether we hit the mark. Have fun and enjoy our lively romp through food. Food and nutrition is essentially very simple but if you want to make it complicated you can. When you look for modern processed convenience you are inviting complications and problems. There is no ONE perfect diet – you can eat Vegan or Carnivore and everything in between and find good health if you know what you are doing. There is no ONE SIZE fits all but there are trends that hold true: Low carb is usually best, healthy fats support longer life, fasting in general is a great tool. How you apply all of this is individualized and this is where the confusion creeps in.

Bioidentical Hormones in Women. Dangerous compound or lifegiving blessing? - #4

Bioidentical Hormone discussion with Dr. Karen Kaufman, board certified OB/GYN. Karen Kaufman, MD is a board-certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist who has been practicing in Boulder, Colorado since 2003. Her medical school training was at Case Western reserve in Cleveland, Ohio followed by OB/GYN residency at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. While practicing conventional medicine in Boulder, Dr. Kaufman became aware that patients needed and wanted more than what they were receiving from traditional Western Medical healthcare. She observed that while traditional medicine had its role, many of her patients symptoms and issue weren’t being addressed with this approach. She pursued the idea of functional or integrative medicine and then completed fellowship training with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine where she honed her skills using bioidentical hormones. We will be discussing: 1. Bioidentical hormones do NOT increase breast cancer risk. If estrogen causes breast cancer then why don’t 25 year women, bubbling with estrogen get breast cancer? 2. VAGUE language creates confusion – HORMONES – ESTROGEN. We discuss the actual names of bioidentical hormones such as estradiol and distinguish it from drugs such as birth control pills or Premarin. 3. Birth control pills, Premarin and Provera are not hormones. They are drugs. Drugs are useful but dangerous and are never a part of “Bioidentical hormone replacement”. 4. Bioidentical means it is identical to the hormones you have made your whole life and need forever if you intend on having a vital life. 5. Top 4 benefits derived from using BHRT: Reduce risk of heart attack by 50%. Brain protective and reduces risk of Alzheimer's by 30-60%. Bones stronger and reduced risk of osteoporosis. BEST first line treatment for bone density. Longevity: mice studies show 19% increase in lifespan. 6. Why doesn't my OB/GYN offer BHRT? Hormones are not “drugs” so it is not taught in traditional western medicine. The vast majority of OB/GYN physicians know next to nothing about true bioidentical hormones or how to use them.

Stillness- #3

Upfront summary - KEY points we will discuss: 1. Stillness – what is it and WHY I should develop this skill.

Dementia & Alzheimers disease

Punchline up front – conclusions we will arrive at today: 1. Dementia is not a genetic issue. Genetics may increase risk but are not a big factor. 2. Lifestyle is more significant than genes. Lifestyle is POWERFUL. Lifestyle is the biggest determinant: higher risk if obese, high carb diet, smoker, stressed. Overweight and high blood pressure will TRIPLE your risk. 3. You can reverse it if you catch it early. 4. 5 biggest risk factors / interventions: plastic, diet, hormones, thyroid, weight loss. Don’t overlook your thyroid and hormone levels. 5. You can test for it with a simple blood test - p-Tau-181 protein and your ApoE gene. Also test CRP, Insulin, hormones and the whole Alzheimers panel. See HippEvoShop.com to get a discounted panel. https://hippevoshop.com/ P-Tau-protein lab – assess risk: https://hippevoshop.com/product/p-tau-181-483745/ 6.

Longevity- How Fast Are You Aging?

Road Map to Longevity Podcast #1 – Longevity: exploring its definition and an approach to extending your vital, meaningful life. What gets measured gets done so the point of this podcast is for you to have tools for measuring your “rate of aging”. Using a simple questionnaire, some fitness measure and some lab measures you can gain keen insights to your rate of aging and more importantly engage steps to slow it down. Future webinars will explore exact action to engage and why these actions send youthful signals to your cells. First . . . measure it. We spoke of the Stevens study looking at numbers from the National Health and Nutrition Examination which showed that only 12% of Americans even qualify as being metabolically healthy. That is a sad fact but also a statistic that you easily avoid with proper lifestyle change. Beyond this we discussed the 2018 study in JAMA that compared 11 prosperous countries with good health care systems and showed that even though Americans smoke and drink less alcohol than many other countries, we ranked dead last in longevity!! Ouch! But wait . . . it gets worse. In 2023 the Centers for Disease Control in the U.S. reported that life expectancy had continued to DECLINE and our average life expectancy was now down to 76.4 years while Japan and other European countries continued to show gains in longevity. I have developed our own “Aging Score” based on an even deeper and more exacting exploration into labs and other lifestyle habits that offer a broader scope and so a more meaningful measure of your rate of aging. This questionnaire and aging guide can be seen on HippEvo.com by looking in the LEARN section under ARTICLES. https://www.hippevo.com/articles/aging-score Taking Action: It all starts by getting a baseline measure to see where you are. Your body wants to heal and can definitely get younger but how do know where to start if you don’t have a line in the sand. So make the decision that want to be in control of your health journey rather than a victim of it. Get some labs done – I recommend starting with a look at some detailed labs. If insurance will cover your labs then that's great but if not then don’t get robbed – use discounted lab option through HippEvoShop.com where you can order labs on a cash pay basis and save a ton. You need an NMR lipid panel, HgbA1c, Glucose (chem14) and insulin, and a CRP-hs as a good start point. Add to this your sex appropriate hormone test panel that includes testosterone and SHBG. Yes, there is more that can be measured but this is a good start. If you want to order all of the labs seen in the “Aging Score” questionnaire then contact Liz at HippEvo.com (Phone 513-366-2100) and request the Longevity full panel which includes: NMR lipids, Insulin, Chem14, HgbA1c, Testosterone, DHEAS, Thyroid, CRP, ApoE gene, Omega 6:3 ratio, Lp(a), Glutathione, Vitamin D, SHBG. The price is $699.00 but there isn’t a cheaper more inclusive panel to be found anywhere. Then measure your fitness as outlined on the “Aging Score” sheet. This is when reality sets in but that's a good thing. No more mystery. We are filling in facts and details to arrive at a statement of health. You are putting yourself in the driver seat by laying claim to your reality. More importantly, once measured you can begin to sculpt a different result. Don’t be American – Age slowly.
