wisdom you can take straight to the grocery store or

has guided this health ship for so long, it's taken

(02:09):
a little breather today now, listeners, this hour is special
because it's all about you with our caller Marathon Hour.
The phone lines are wide open at eight hundred six
zero six eight eight two two, and we want to
hear your most pressing health questions. Is intermid and fasting

(02:32):
right for you? Are you confused about the conflicting supplement advice,
or maybe you're wondering why that stubborn weight won't budge
we're tackling at all at eight hundred six zero six
eight eight two two. Let's solve those health mysteries together.
That's eight hundred six zero six eight eight two to two.

(02:54):
I also encourage you to visit our website at doctor
Bob dot com. That is where you can submit a
question doctor Bob or I will answer. You can also
find our podcast library there at doctor bob dot com.
Listen to this episode again, look for a new one
in the library, or search the archives of years ago,

(03:16):
where you may find that the health knowledge we're dropping
today is the same health knowledge doctor Bob has been
saying for years. The right formula to health doesn't change.
We just have to take the small steps in the
right direction each day. On doctor bob dot com, you

(03:37):
can also connect with a trusted healthcare provider doctor Bob
or I have handpicked to help you through art Doctor
Bob Barton's show Telehealth Option. You can find it all
in more health related news at doctor bob dot com.
Before we jump into your calls, I want to give

(03:59):
you three easy healthy takeaways you can implement right now
before lunchtime. Take Away one, the two minute stress reset.
I think this is a game changer. It's called the
four six eight breathing technique, and you can use it
anytime stress hits you. Inhale for four seconds, you hold

(04:24):
for six, and you exhale for eight. It's a simple
trick that activates your parasmpic nervous nervous system, and it
lowers cortisol by up to thirty percent according to Harvard research.
You can keep this in your back pocket for traffic jams,
work stress, or when the kids are driving you crazy.

(04:47):
The takeaway number two is a blood sugar balancing trick.
If you swap your morning toast or cereal for this
powerful combo two eggs and a half avocado in a
full of spinach, the protein fat fiber trio prevents those
mid morning crashes in cravings. A twenty twenty three study

(05:10):
in Nutrition Journal found this breakfast combo reduced afternoon snacking
by forty percent. And takeaway number three is setting a
movement alarm. Every ninety minutes, just sixty seconds of body
weight squats are marching in place or even stretching. You
can do it at your desk. Research from Mayo Clinic

(05:33):
shows these microbursts of activity boost metabolism seventeen percent more
than one loan workout alone. Your body was made to move.
Let's make it easy. Now. Let's talk about why today's
caller marathon is so important. Every question you ask doesn't

(05:54):
just help you, it creates ripples that can help all
those listening Right now. That mom struggling with menopause symptoms,
your call could be her light bulb moment. That guy
confused about cholesterol numbers, your question may save his life.
This is health democracy in action. Folks. As we gear

(06:19):
up for a caller marathon, remember this health isn't about perfection,
It's about progress. Maybe today you try that four six'
eight breathing. Technique maybe you swap one process snack for
some nuts or. Berries small steps create big transformations over,

(06:40):

Have victoria From Hot, Springs. Arkansas good.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
Day this Is, Victoria Hot, Springs. Arkansas my question IS
i had a mesh put in my body WHEN i
had a, aneurysm and that was to prevent blood clots
going to my. Heart do you feel that that is
something that needs to be? Removed thank, you love your,
show have a great, day.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
All, Right thank You, victoria and thanks for your question
and tuning. In you're asking about a surgical mesh implant
that was placed during an aneurysm procedure to help prevent
blood clots from traveling to the. Heart, now as far
as whether the mesh should be, removed here's the bottom.
Line if the mesh is not causing, pain, inflammation or

(08:20):
migrating or interfering with nearby, organs it's usually left in.
Place mesh is designed to be permanent in most, cases
unless there's a complication but and this is key if
you're having symptoms such as chronic, discomfort tissue irritation in that,
area or unexplained inflammation or reoccurring infections near that. Site,

(08:46):
yes a reevaluation by a vascular specialist or inventional radiologists
is absolutely. Warranted it's also important to consider your vascular
and immune, health And i'll give you some. Steps, naturally
two gentle but powerful TOOLS i recommend is kyolic age garlic.

(09:08):
Extract it's been shown to support blood, pressure arterial flexibility in,
circulation as is vascular defense by sun. Nutrition both chyolic
age garlic extract and vascular defense by sun nutrition are
great supplements to support heart. Health and if you're still

(09:30):
concerned about clotting or, inflammation consider checking your homocysting, levels
which can silently drive vascular. Damage you could talk to
your provider to get labs and guidance for. That, again
that's homocysting. Levels it's a concern with clotting or inflammation
in the. Heart, ultimately victoria decisions about mesh removal are

(09:54):
case specific and it's based on imaging your symptoms in
a risk benefit. Analysis but don't hesitate to get another.
Opinion from an integrative medicine specialist who understands both conventional
and natural healing. Options all, right thank you for being
a proactive. Listener. Victoria all, right we're coming up on

nutrition dot. Com, okay we'll get to our next, caller
which Is adrian From, Elizabethan. Tennessee, Adrian Elizabeth Canna.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
See my daughter's had reoccurring headaches for ever ninety days
and we've had In, MOREYES ct scans good to every
doctor and can't get a. Solution if you have any
idea of what we can do about?

Speaker 3 (26:21):
It all, Right, adrian thank you for reaching, Out and
first of, ALL i just want to acknowledge how incredibly
frustrating and heartbreaking it must be to watch your daughter
go through, this especially after doing what you consider all
the right, things seeing specialists undergoing imaging LIKE MRIs AND

(26:42):
ct scans and still walking away without real. Answers when
we see persistent headaches lasting more than ninety days with
no structural case that's found on, imaging it's time to
start thinking a little more holistically and. Functionally the truth
is chronic, headaches especially in young, people are often multi.

(27:03):
Factorial that means we need to consider things like cervical
spine or postural, imbalances especially from things like prolonged device
use or poor sleep, ergonomics and maybe also look AT tmj,
issues those jaw alignment, issues so both THE tmj and

(27:25):
cervical spine dysfunction can be restored by a doctor of.
Chiropractic you also may consider hidden food sensitivities like, dairy
gluten and artificial additives that are common. Culprits, here you
might consider an elimination diet for this and consider doctor

(27:47):
oheres probiotics for gut health and, inflammation which may affect
the brain through that gut brain axis and it can cause.
Headaches and with your daughter there may also be hormone,
imbalances especially if she's in her teens or early. Twenties
it need to possibly check that the hormone levels in

(28:09):
her and even environmental toxins or mold ex exposure maybe
at play, here which are sadly more common than people.
Realize one of the first THINGS i suggest doing is
finding a functional neurologist or integrative practitioner who can go
deeper into these root. Causes you might also look at

(28:30):
nutrient deficiencies like low. Magnesium for, example it's a common
contributor to chronic. Headaches the chyolic magnesium formula from our
friends At wacanaga is one THAT i often recommend because
it's bioavailable and it's gentle on the. System, additionally if
she hasn't had been evaluated for things like intracranial pressure,

(28:55):
issues autonomic dysfunction like Consider pot's disease or migrain, variants
those are worth. Exploring so, Again, ADRIAN i want. TO
i KNOW i threw a lot of things at, you
but check the cervical SPINE, tmj hidden food, sensitivities gut,
health hormone imbalances in environmental. Toxins those are places to.

(29:18):
Start you may consider go ahead and seeking the care
of a functional neurologist or integrative. Practitioner SO i know
we're coming up on a break here and it's time
for a, pause but don't wander off just. Yet if
you've got burning health, questions we've got the. Answers dial

(32:44):
or even light strength training can reduce joint, stiffness improve
range of, motion and even support cartilage that they're still
improving that blood flow in nutrient delivery through those low impact.
Exercises on the other, hand high impact or improper, form
especially when the joints are already, inflamed can be absolutely

(33:08):
irritate the arthritis. Symptoms so, yes exercise can feel uncomfortable
if it's not done, right but it will not cause.
Arthritis what you want is movement with, control support improper.
Alignment sometimes that means working with a physical, therapist are

(33:29):
integrative specialist or a personal trainer to create a program
that's safe and heals. You, now if your arthritis is
