    Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 467: Early Detection versus Prevention

    Welcome! and Thank you for listening.
    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

    Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 467: Work Horse versus Race Horse

    Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 467: Work Horse versus Race Horse

    Welcome! and thank you for listening.
    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
    Enjoy the episode and do the fitness test to see where you are with regard to a healthy lifestyle.
    Thanks for listening.

    Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 466: Improving Cardiac Risk Factors

    Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 466: Improving Cardiac Risk Factors

    Welcome! and Thank you for listening. 
    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.

    Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast: What Kind of Grandparent Would You Like to Be?

    Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast: What Kind of Grandparent Would You Like to Be?

    Welcome! and Thank you for listening.
    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.  
    Today's episode is a grandparent want a be training boot camp.  Join me in living life to the fullest.  After you finish the episode, slide on over to

    Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Running and Wellness Podcast Episode 464: Mental Training for Your Heart

    Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Running and Wellness Podcast Episode 464: Mental Training for Your Heart

    Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  
    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.

    Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 463: Do Plant Based Eaters Suffer From Anemia?

    Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 463: Do Plant Based Eaters Suffer From Anemia?

    Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  
    You had better be careful eating that plant based diet.  You could be deficient in all kinds of things.  You could even be anemic?  Are you tired?  Perhaps you suffer from iron deficiency.  These statements are all possible; if you eat a vegan diet of Oreos and vegan deli slices. 
    Iron is vital to a whole host of reactions in and out of the body.  Have you ever seen rust?  It is vital to make red blood cells, repair DNA and metabolize nutrients.  It is also very hard 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.  
    If you enjoy this podcast, please leave a review on ITunes so that I can continue to provide it free of charge.  I do appreciate it.

Solid

It’s great to that Dr. Dulaney shares so freely. Thank you, Doc. I’m a 63 year old endurance athlete. Ten years ago I was at death’s doorstep. i was obese and unhealthy. Now I am at my college cross country (NCAA Div 1) weight. Changing diet was the hardest and I finally wrapped my head around that a few months ago. I am now WFPB forevermore! It’s amazing to be where I am after where I was. I have a good 30 years of active life ahead of me. i am pharma free, a fact my local pill doc could not wrap her head around since everybody here suffers from at least one chronic disease if they’re still alive at my age. I fired her. Now I have a holistic, nutrition-driven doc. It costs more, but it has real value. So does this podcast, and it costs nothing at all. Thanks again, Dr. Dulaney.

Been a faithful listener for years!!!

I have been a long time listener of Dr. Dulaney! Her podcast is always interesting and well organized. She often highlights recent studies and medical journal articles on health, nutrition or exercise . With a background in health care, I really enjoy her perspective of modern medicine- the need to evaluate the whole person, and weigh out lifestyle changes for health improvements! The plant based podcast theme is mixed with her love for endurance races of all kind, it is fun hearing about her recent and up coming events. After listening you will be encouraged and motivated! I often end up listening to her weekly podcast while on a run :)
