Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the MedEvidence Monday Minute Radio
Show hosted by Kevin Gettings ofWSOS St Augustine Radio and
powered by Angkor Research Group.
Each Monday morning, dr MichaelCoran calls in to bring you the
latest medical updates withinsightful discussions.
Medevidence is where we helpyou navigate the real truth
behind medical research, withboth a clinical and research

(00:21):
perspective.
So sit back, relax and getready to learn about the truth
behind the data in medicine andhealthcare.
This is MedEvidence 1039 WSOS.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Dr Michael Coran is with me.
He's a big music enthusiast, amusician himself.
Have you ever seen the knack inconcert, Dr?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
I haven't, but I certainly like that song.
That's a classic, so I do enjoyit.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah, I like that song too.
Yeah, I'm not sure I'm a hugefan of all of their music, but
that stuff's pretty good.
Dr Michael Coran is with us andof course he is part of the
team, leads the team at EncoreDocks and they do clinical
research work throughoutNortheast Florida and have a
facility right here in St John'sCounty in St Augustine near UF
Flagler Hospital.

(01:08):
Go to EncoreDockscom to learnhow you can participate in
leading edge clinical research.
And indeed some of thatresearch may have to do with
aging, a particular concern ofmine as I celebrate my 59th
birthday today.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
So Well, happy birthday.
Well, thank you, Dr Coran.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
I appreciate that and so when we start looking at 60,
65, 70, we definitely startembracing the notion of, yeah,
what can I do to live a goodlife in retirement, a healthy
life?
Because we all see peoplearound us, right, Dr, that are
in this slow decline thatsometimes goes on for years, if
not decades.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, as you can imagine, Kevin, there's been a
lot of research about aging,both from a biological
standpoint as well as moreglobal, epidemiological, social
standpoint, and really what itcomes down to is four key
elements that help you live along, healthy life and
fulfilling life.
By the way, one is having astable social structure.

(02:07):
It's quite important and highlycorrelated with longevity.
Physical activity doing someexercise on a regular basis is
really key to populations thatlive longer.
Having a diet that's sort offree of toxins and, as I've
mentioned before, more fishconsumption seems to be
associated very, very stronglywith living longer.

(02:27):
Societies that eat a lot offish.
In fact, data suggests thateating fish five times per week
is maybe the key to livinglonger.
And then, finally, you have toavoid, or at least minimize,
identifiable risks, and thoseidentifiable risks could be
accidents.
So don't get up on laddersafter you hit your 59th birthday

(02:50):
.
That's some advice for you.
There you go and other thingsthat you can do or it would be
hard to wear your seatbelts andto not drink and drive and, of
course, to protect yourselfagainst viruses and other things
that are identifiable risks,particularly if you have the
unfortunate situation of beingexposed to them frequently or

(03:13):
you're vulnerable because ofyour medical condition.
So those are really the foursecrets and if you dig into that
, we are very excited about thefact that we actually help
people with all those things.
So in our clinical researchcenters it's a wonderful social
structure we have fabulouspeople that spend a lot of time
with you, understanding yourmedical conditions,
understanding who you are and,in many cases, understanding

(03:36):
your family members, since a lotof the diseases that we address
actually run families.
We're constantly running aroundourselves and certainly
supporting exercise.
We have multiple nutritionistson staff that help people with
their diet, and then, finally,we actually test products that
help you avoid identifiablerisks.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
There's been some items in the media, dr Corn,
about how we could potentiallyeven turn off the aging machine.
I mean, is there something inour bodies that make us age?
Is it possible for the humanbody to continue to kind of
regrow itself and regenerateitself to where we could
potentially live, I don't know?
200 years instead of 88.6 years?

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, it's an interesting question.
Obviously, a lot of people havebeen studying this for a while
and no one has found the magicbullet.
To be honest, there are somereally interesting theories, but
I'll share one crazy situationwith you.
When I was in college, I workedin a chemistry, a biochemistry
lab at New York University andClint Eastwood actually visited

(04:36):
the lab, because the fellow whowas running the lab was a little
bit of a wild man who wasclaiming that he discovered the
secret to aging and he was ableto extract some money from Clint
Eastwood and his agent in orderto promote his research.
And that really came down tothis pre-radical concept that
you have radicals, which areextra electrons on oxygen that

(05:00):
are responsible for cellulardamage and that causes aging.
And that's one of the theories,and a lot of people still
promote that with supplementsand other things that are
supposedly anti-oxidants.
But, the truth is, we don't knowexactly.
What we do know is that thereare certain telltale signs of
aging that we're working to tryto reverse, but no one's really

(05:23):
come up with that magic bulletas of yet.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
That's Dr Michael Coran, once again with Encore
Docks.
He joins us here on Mondaymorning.
He's a big part of our familyand we encourage you to check
out the website EncoreDockscomso that you can learn about
different ways.
You can participate inleading-edge clinical research.
You may even be compensated.
You're definitely going to getsome of the best healthcare
you've ever had attentive peoplelistening to you as you
participate in this research.

(05:48):
There's also another greatplace you can go to get just
good information about all thishealthcare stuff that swirls
around us all the time and youdon't know what's true, what
isn't.
Go to MedEvidencecom, dr Coran.
When they go to that website,what do they get?
A fine.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Well, medevidence is our way of looking at the truth
behind the data.
That's our logo and slogan, andthere's so many competing
healthcare claims out there thatwe hope that this website helps
people understand what's real,what's not real, what's being
discovered as we speak, and howyou can make the best decisions
for yourself and your familyRight.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Well, once again, check out that website.
Lots of good information thereand, of course, other podcasts
and some other great data thatDr Coran has shared with the
general public that you can find.
So we encourage you to do that,dr Coran.
We hope you have a good rest ofthe day.
