As parents, one of the greatest privileges we have is the opportunity to shape our children into the people we hope they’ll become.

Recently on my podcast, I had an enlightening discussion about the core virtues I aim to impart to my two sons as they journey through childhood into adulthood. I want to share some of my reflections here in hopes that they may spark your own thinking about what truly matters most in life.

We discuss a lot of cutting-edge topics on the Future of Medicine podcast. Maybe one day we’ll discuss a cure for cancer, but until then, I want to talk about the excellent and widely available screenings available right now for some of the most common cancers.

Unfortunately, not everyone takes advantage of these early detection methods. Though many of us say it’s due to busyness, in reality, fear is a driving factor.

You don’t know what you don’t know, and it can seem better to remain in the dark. However, my colleague Jen Justus and I want to bring to light the life-saving importance of regular cancer screenings.

 

What if I told you osteoporosis is a top 10 killer of women?

You may not find it on any official list, but that’s only because no one is talking about osteoporosis this way — yet.

If you consume any amount of alcohol, this is a conversation about how to think about it.

We’re not here to bash alcohol or suggest you become a teetotaler. We want you to be thoughtful about why you consume it and how it affects your body and mind. Because if you have health goals — and if you’re having trouble meeting them — you’re probably underestimating the effects of alcohol on your progress.

Weight loss is one of the most frequent conversations we have in our practice. Our members are never short on questions, concerns, frustration, and confusion, and I’m here for it.

In our society, diet and fitness have almost taken on a cult-like status, with strict rules and regulations guiding the pursuit of transcendence (e.g., the beach body).

As the science of weight loss has evolved, so too has our conviction about the most important factors that facilitate weight loss. Here, we’re taking an up-to-date look at these top weight-loss factors and sharing some insights gained from personal experience.

They say no news is good news, but that isn’t always true.

When it comes to dementia, we very much want there to be news. We’ve spent the last 25–30 years searching for a cure — or even a treatment — but it continues to elude us.

While we can’t treat Alzheimer’s at this time, if we can identify it early, we might be able to slow it down long enough to see a medical breakthrough on a therapeutic level. For now, our goal is to arm you with information so you and your doctor can manage your risk factors.
