On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…
Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with an interesting overview a study showcasing that music can speed one’s recovery from surgery, less young people are using tobacco products, a new diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or other dementia spurs patients to move from their home, what happens to our mind and body after losing a loved one, and new guidelines for preventing a first stroke.
Then, how fast your body can bounce back into strength-training after taking time off.
Moving on, an examination of the long life of Maria Branyas Morera, who encouraged scientists to study her super-agin ability before she passed in August of 2024 at the age of 117. Researchers are studying what makes people live long, with findings showing a link of genetics, healthy lifestyle, and a healthy gut microbiome with a focus on the Mediterranean Diet, as well as avoiding alcohol and tobacco products.
Lastly, Doug and Dr. Ken answer listener questions on the topic of hot flashes, and that women with persistent hot flashes and night sweats have a 50% increased risk of developing Type II Diabetes. Another listener question is on back pain and what we can do, ergonomically, to protect our spine, as well as yoga being a preferred exercise method for back health.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Good Day Health Podcast with doctor Ken Cronhouse, sponsored
in part by Caldron The Safe, proven Way to Lose
weight and keep it off. Hi, Doug Stefan. Here, I'm
with doctor Ken Cronhouse. He does a lot of research
in his own facility down in Mondua, Florida, but he
also goes through all the journals of medicine and comes
(00:21):
up with the synopsis of things that they are trying
to explain or more likely to doctors than they are
to layman. So Ken's job is to explain it to you,
the user, the.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Customer, if you will.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
So I have a lot of things on the Doctor
as usual today, and let's start Ken with some good news.
I like to start all my programs with good news.
And the thing that attracted me first of all was
the story about music and how it might speed one's
recovery from surgery.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Is this all surgeries?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Don't think any difference what surgery might be.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
It does and just goes to show us doctors they're
not such boring people. We do research on things that
might interest others. And here's at the American College of
Surgeons Annual meeting in San Francisco, here's a report about
music speeding the recovery of surgery in general. DOUG pop tunes,
(01:20):
smooth jams, and bangling beats in this study show that
they can help people more easily recover from surgery with
actually fewer painkillers being used. Listening to music, Doug it
reduces the anxiety, pain, and heart rate of patients waking
up from surgery. Surgical patients provided music tend to need
(01:44):
less than half the amount of morphine required by those
who are not listening to tunes. Listening to music caused
the reduction in levels of cortisol, which is the stress hormone.
You know, it's really stressful waking up from surgery. Anybody
who's or had surgery making that transition from waking up
and then that transition from being up to getting back
(02:06):
to normal life. And both of these transitory periods seem
to be nicely smoothed out by listening to music. And
it's not that expensive, So it seems like in the future.
Don't be surprised in recovery rooms if you hear some
nice music coming in, How.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Would you define or who decides what nice music is?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I might want to listen to the four Season.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
That's very that's a very good question. They addressed that
in this study. I'm ask that, and it seems like
the most effective music for reducing pain and smoothing the
awakening process was the music that the patient preferred. So
this really somehow if it could be customized. We do
(02:59):
pre opt clear is on patients as physicians, and maybe
another question we need to ask each of our patients
is what kind of music do they prefer? Just play
Frank Sinatra when I wake up and I'll be very happy.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Who put the bop and the bop? She bobshbop? Who
put the ram and the ram and ding dark?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
That might be a good one to wake up too,
But some people say Montevani are violin strings or whatever.
It'd be different for everybody, but it's nice to know
that there is a factor here.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
That's kind of cool, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Next item on the good news list on this week's
Good Day Health is a focus on young people using
tobacco products.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
So what's the report.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
There's some more good news, and this comes out of
the CDC said about two and a quarter million US
middle and high school students this year say they use
tobacco products, which is half a million fewer than a
year ago. This current number of youth who use tobacco
products is the lowest number in twenty five years, and
down from two point eight million and twenty twenty three. Interestingly,
(04:07):
the CDC attributes the decline and tobacco use to students
lowering their use of one type of product. You want
to guess which that is?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yep, the old vape thing there exactly.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Oh, he is a smart guy, my host, co host.
Here's the use of e cigarettes and the e cigarettes
DOUG seem to be the most commonly used tobacco product
among youths. And this is where the biggest decline is.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And you know, they get to get licenses for that stuff.
Who the hell was the sleep of the switch in
the government that gave these people approval to sell this crap?
That's good way, that's a going.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
To be question. I think they convinced people originally that
it was going to be a nice bridge to getting
off of.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
The use for research.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
The research the question that's it?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, so doesn't that?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yes, I don't mean to play that well, yes, I
do mean to play the devil's.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Advocate here, Yes, you do.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Don't hide behind it, No, I won't.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
So doesn't that call into question. You and I have
discussions all the time about things that come and you know,
it's all about the science, and it's the science this
and the science that. And I say to you, science
is there to just prove science, and then there's stuff like.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
This, it's well, it's all about the Well, let me
make an analogy that's homegrown for you. It's all about,
you know, the growing of food. And there are people
who grow poor quality foods. There are those who grow
high quality foods. Right, You talk about it all the time.
It's the same thing in science. There are those who
do poor quality science and those who do high quality science.
(05:47):
And I try, as a trained scientist to filter through
the studies and report the better ones. But you don't
remember me reporting let's go and give the kids the
e cigarettes to help them get off of cigarettes. So
I didn't afford that. That troubled me from the beginning.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, that's very troubling.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
And the other thing that troubles me about this, and
then I'll leave it, is how do you know these
kids that are being surveyed are actually telling the surveyor
or putting the correct answer on whatever sheet, whatever they're
being whatever they're using to survey them. I don't know
that I would trust. Well what a teenager?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Right? They also looked at sales, so that that's that's
a very good point, so because that is a concern
when you do that kind of research, the reliability. Ye,
all right, but they but sales were looked at in
the study which confirmed the reliability.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Got it. As we move ahead, We've gone through the
good news.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Now we'll get to the nts, so good news as
we move ahead here on this week's Good Day health,

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Back with doctor Ken Cronhaus here on Good Day Health.
He weekly goes through all of the journals of medicine
and also with his experiences as a cardiologist, has so
many great stories and so much information to impart on you.
I am pleased and proud of the material that we've
covered over a long period of time.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We cover a lot of different things. We focus on things.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
That affect you your medical treatment.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
There's something for everybody. Every single week.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I know the most recent one we talked about AI
and misinformation about everything, including medicine. So if you want
to get Ken's take on that, help yourself to our
most recent podcast at good Day Healthshow dot com.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Also, you can listen to.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
The program on a lot of great radio stations around
the country. So take advantage of Ken and his expertise
to learn more about what's going on in the world
of conventional medicine. Now, I said, we went through the
good things. Here's something that's not so good. Focus on
a lot of older people who are moving after they
(09:32):
are told they have dementia.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
How does this fit together, Ken, No.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
This is an interesting report from job and Network Open
that we learned that a new diagnosis of Alzheimer's or
other dementia, it often spurs a person to move from
their home and One possible explanation is that individuals with
dementia DOUG and their caregivers may choose to move closer
to family or informal caregivers with independent housing arrangements or
(10:03):
entering formal long term care services. Anyone who hasn't ever
taken care of anyone with dementia, you're going to realize
this is a lot lot more work than you ever expected.
Families often initially think they're going to do it themselves,
and then they realize how difficult it is, and they
shouldn't feel like failures. They just learn and join a
(10:26):
long list of people who realize they can't do it.
And this is why we have professionals doing it. Taking
care of loved ones with dementia is a very challenging job.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
You think, were there any records when did we first
start studying or hearing about Alzheimer's and dementia, dementia and
on outgrowth of it as Alzheimer's.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
When did we start getting that information? I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Actually you don't remember it growing up, do you?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
No? Not at all?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Was it there when we were growing up or it
just wasn't.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Well the fact, I think in the seventh these it.
Really when we began to understand this process is when
it really became apparent.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Then later a decade later, we could do imaging and
we could see it. So it really was not as
we weren't aware of this back when you were a
little boy.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
No, no, but.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
It was definitely there, you know, it was definitely there.
And also people were not think it was what do
we call it confusion, you know, losing their mind or
people are also living longer and a lot of this
becomes an issue of just growing old. But there's clearly
dementia that occurs at a younger age and it's just
(11:39):
more recognized, and there were labels unfortunately for it, but
now we understand it.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, I just think I find it interesting when you
look back on things, some of the stuff and then't
just in medicine or science.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
It just things pop up all of a sudden from nowhere.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
There were no elderly folks in the Stephan family who
just didn't seem mentally to be themselves when you were
grow up.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Nope, dope, don't remember any of that.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Nope, all right, we'll continue up next year on good
Day health. Caltrin is on the top of the food chain,
if you will.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
When it comes to losing.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Weight, and because it is fall, it's time to focus
on what we seem to get into every year at.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
This time exactly.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
You know, we call it the eating season around here,
and you know, while this season is full of joy,
it is just also full of temptation. So when you
were taking caltrin, it's not only going to help you
lose the inches and the pounds, but it also helps
you make those better decisions because you do have less cravings,
you have more energy, you're not having the afternoon slump
(12:44):
or the crash because Caltrin's working with your body naturally.
So if you need a little bit of help, especially
this time of the year, Caltrin is gonna get you there.
The website is toploss dot com. There is a big
fall sale going on right now with discounts on every
single month. So whether you have a little bit of
weight to lose or a lot of weight to lose,
it's a great time to get on.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Caldren Elizabeth Miller from a top loss dot com and
Caldron Here. Hi, Doug Stephan Here, I'm with doctor ken
Kronhaus on Good Day Health Open Our brains are head
the eye opening, year opening, thought provoking ways to think
(13:24):
about you and your health and well being. So I
promise that we would go back to because there's a
lot of information this week ken about exercise, and I
see that there are a couple of other things we
haven't touched on yet with regard to weight training and
if you stop lifting weights. I have had this happen
(13:46):
to me because I've done a lot of it over
my life. I think we have to keep.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Our muscles strong.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I don't know whether necessarily big is important, but to
keep your skeleton together. Men and women, the more muscle
you have, the better off you are. But if you
have like me, you've ad back and they have to
take a little bit of time off from the weight training.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
What happens when you go back, Doug, This is.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Some good news out of the Scandinavia Journal of Medicine
and Science and Sports. People are often concerned if they
have to for whatever reason, give up their strength training,
will their muscles bounce back? And the report is that yes,
even after several weeks when you cannot do your strength
(14:30):
training program, the muscles will bounce back. Don't give up,
get back in the gym and realize that all of
the efforts that you've made developing these muscles will continue
even with several weeks when you can't do your strength
training program.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
So how does that relate to another story in the
Journal of Endocrine Society whatever in the world, that is
about vigorous workouts and what happens if you are hungry
when and you go to the gym.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
More good news about working out that vigorous workouts, especially
in women but in both sexes, will suppress hunger, and
the way it works is through a hormone called grellin.
Grellin is a hormone in the body that secretes that
tells us we're hungry. And this report measured Grellin levels
(15:23):
in people who were doing workouts, and especially in a
vigorous workout. Don't bring on symptoms when you work out,
but in vigorous workouts, Grellin levels do diminish your appetites
suppresses and this is especially seen in women.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
So here's the fifty four sixty four seventy four dollars question.
I see that there's also connect to do exercise and
body control.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Some information about.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
People, especially people who are over the age of fifty
who stand on one leg for thirty seconds. I can
do that on my I can easily do it on
my right leg, not so easy on my left leg.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
So what does all that is indicative?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
You?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
If you can rub your belly and rub your head
at the same time, what does that mean for your
health and well being? But in this case it's standing
on one foot at a time.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
What does this all mean?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
This report out of Pos one DOUG about assessing how
well people are aging, and it seems to be all
about balance and this test that they recommend for testing
us all to see how well we're aging. Essentially the
common thread is how well we can balance. So this
(16:40):
simple test that helps gauge signs of aging and people
fifty and over DOUG. People over fifty who can stand
on one leg for thirty seconds are aging gracefully, particularly
if it's not their strong leg. Graceful aging process occurs
if you can stand on one leg thirty seconds, especially
(17:01):
your weaker leg.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
So when you started that, I maybe here, I put
the microphone up, I stood up on my strong leg
and I stood there for the whole time. You destroy
Now I'm on my weak leg and I have to
balance myself.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
All right there for thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah no, I didn't get to well. I can stand
up for thirty seconds, but it's not easy.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Let's put it that way.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Doctor Cannon, doctor Doug I have, he's got a license.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I don't. This is good day.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Hell, Caltren is on the top of the food chain,
if you will, when it comes to losing weight, and
because it is fall, it's time to focus on what
we seem to get into every year at this time exactly.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
You know, we call it the eating season. There's candy,
there's food everywhere, warm bread, the leftovers, and you know,
while this season is full of joy, it is just
also full of temptation. Caltrin's working with your body naturally
to rebuild lean muscle, tissue, to repair joints. So overall,
you know, just within the first week or two of
(18:03):
taking caltrin, you are going to be sleeping better, waking
up refreshed, having more energy throughout your day, and even
less joint pain. And really around the one month mark
is when you're going to start to notice your clothes
fitting better, inch loss, maybe even a few pounds on
the scale. The west side is toploss dot Com. There's
a big falseale going on right now, though. Whether you
have a little bit of weight to lose or a
lot of weight to lose, it's a great time to
(18:25):
get on.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Caldrin, Elizabeth Miller from top Loss dot com and Caldron Here,
I've Doug Stefan. You're listening to Good Day Health with
Doctor Ken Cronhaus three five two seven three five fourteen hundred. Doug,
you give the number two quickly, three five two seven
three five fourteen hundred.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
That's the number for Ken's office.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Good Day Health the program on the air. We've been
on the air for twenty some years talking to people
about the biggest news stories.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
In the medical world.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
We have all kinds of things that have been on
file for a long time that you can find wherever
you get your podcasts, whether it's Spotify or Apple or
iHeart or Google or wherever you go to Good Day
healthshow dot com and listen to the discussion. You know,
this is very prejudicial, and I admit it, but I
find it horrible. I walked by somebody yesterday and they
(19:19):
were smoking, and the stench of the tobacco smoke stayed
with me for maybe one hundred feet or more, and
I drove by somebody that happening the same day in
a car who was smoking. In the smokers out the
window you could smell. I was driving down the highway
at like forty miles an hour and I could smell
(19:40):
it from the car in front of me. So what
do you think you're doing to your body? I mean
you oh that ericon sob No, I'm just saying I
grew up around it, been exposed to it. My mother
died because she smoked, and I remember vividly seeing that
haze on the windows and everything in.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
The house covered with it.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
And so what do you think it's doing to your body?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I guess is the question.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Okay, let's get to we're talking about how to protect
yourself from things like dementia. Here's a secret. This woman,
Maria Branyaz Morrero, has been all over the news because
she's the world's oldest living person. So what does she
(20:23):
say is the reason eating a lot of chocolate and
ice cream probably is in there, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Kenn Well, This is a woman who urged scientists to
study her before she expired so that the world would benefit.
And the report was published and sell reports medicine doug
the University of Barcelona. Researchers analyzed factors that contributed to
(20:49):
the long life of Maria Branyas Morea. She was born
in San Francisco, move Main at age eight, and she
died at the age of you ready one hundred and
seventeen in August of twenty twenty four. When she died,
she was the oldest living person in the world. Doug
A study of her life has revealed a healthy lifestyle,
(21:13):
beneficial bacteria in her microbiome, and genetics that have been
linked to longevity. She actually contracted COVID at age one
hundred and thirteen, but made a full recovery. She followed
a Mediterranean diet, avoiding too much fat and processed sugars.
She walked regularly until her advanced stage made walking too difficult.
(21:35):
She also did not indulge in either tobacco or alcohol.
As part of her diet, Brinya's ate lots of yogurt,
which kept her gut microbiome filled with beneficial bacteria, the
video bacterium. This bacteria is known to diminish inflammation, which
could contribute to faster aging. Finally, Brinya's carried genetic variants
(22:01):
that lowered her risk of high cholesterol levels, heart disease, cancer,
and dementia. And these can be new targets for new
drug development in the future. What a wonderful life she lived.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, and she was very generous with giving away the
secret to her longevity as well by asking people to
study it.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Very cool.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Doctor kenn is a noted cardiologist to link cardiology down Madua, Florida,
and as such, he is especially sensitive to any work
that's being done on heart disease circulatory problems. So you
found something that focuses on heart attack and strokecases and
(22:46):
how people can avoid them. Not that we don't talk
about this with regularity, but this is a big number.
Most every heart attack and stroke can be linked to
something that you can change right exactly.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
And this is published in the Journal of the American
College of Cardiology DOUG. Nearly all people, as you're pointing out,
who suffer a heart attack or strokes have at least
one of four major cardiovascular risk factors beforehand. Ninety nine
percent of participants in this study had high blood pressure,
(23:23):
high cholesterol, elevated blood sugar, or had used tobacco leading
up to a cardiac event. High blood pressure was the
most common issue. All four risk factors are preventable and
could be managed, so again, blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar,
(23:45):
and using tobacco. And I'm going to add my own
fifth to this list is follow your weight.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yep, keep it in check for sure. And that brings
us around to understanding what goes on a couple of
different things here. I want to talk about caldron for
a minute, but I also want to talk about people
that are making kind of mixing their own GLP one
stuff to lose weight and how that probably is not
(24:15):
the greatest idea in the world. Can I'll tell you
about that in a matter of moments. And then there's
a story about olive oil this week that's.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Really good for your body.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Caltrin is as well. For many years you've heard me
talk about America's number one choice for natural weight loss,
natural wellness. It's naturally safe, naturally stimulant free, it's clinically
proven twenty eight years of practice and work, and hundreds

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Okay, So talking about diets and stuff, here's some interesting
information about olive oil.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
We've been seeing a lot of this lately.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Some people are you know, I actually have taken I
don't do it every day, but I'll take a swig
of olive oil sometimes at night with dinner.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I don't know. I have my belly fat. What I
have comes from.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Ice cream, and I understand that, but I can always
hope anyway. So what's the latest on this con connection
between olive oil and belly fat.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Well, adding some extra vergin olive oil to your screen
may be a good idea. This comes out of our
Frontiers and Nutrition doug. The new finding is that regular
consumption of extra virgin olive oil is associated with lower
body mass index the BMI and lower waste circumference. Your
(28:17):
waste size and extra virgin olive oil mediates a significant
portion of the Mediterranean diet's impact on central obesity, that
obesity that you just talked about, which is so hard
for us as we get older to get rid of.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Let's talk a little bit about this. I suggested a
few minutes ago. I've seen some information which makes me
think that people are going a little crazy. What is
GLP one? What do we define that as these weight
loss products? But a lot of people are mixing them
up and that's not a doesn't sound like a smart
move to me.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
What does it sound like to you?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Very onunsmart mixing your own GLP one DOUG for weight loss.
It's extremely dangerous. It can cause severe life threatening health consequences.
There's no oversight for quality or sterility. There's a risk
of having incorrect ingredients. There's a high potential for dosing errors.
(29:22):
There's severe and unpredictable side effects. I've seen them in patience,
and there's also lack of medical supervision. So I would
strongly urge against it. When there was a shortage compounded
pharmacies was okay, but the shortage is over. I would
get yourself an FDA approved prescription. And I know for
(29:47):
some that are costly, but it's really not worth jeopardizing
your health. And I've seen some people have some serious issues,
especially with their eyes, with these unappre compounds.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
What does g l P stand for?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
What is g l P?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
They call them g l P one. I don't know
what that stands for.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
It stands for DOUG glucagun like peptide one.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Okay, all right, speaking of things we can't pronounce.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
There's a new oral treatment for.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Chronic spontaneous urticaria.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Am I pronouncing that correctly?
Speaker 3 (30:28):
That that's that's well, let's talk about it. The the
FDA has approved a new oral treatment for chronic spontaneous urticaria.
This is a condition that causes recurrent, often debilitating hives
and swelling without a known cause. Erdicara is what we
(30:51):
see in an allergic reaction DOUG. This hives and swelling.
And the name of the drug is rhapsodough.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Use.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
We know what brings on the earth to carry this
allergic reaction, but in some it's just unclear. It occurs often,
it occurs unexpectedly. And this approval of the strugg rhapsodoh
from nevardis just approved yesterday. This is going to be
front page news today. This approval offers a new non
(31:24):
injectable therapeutic option for patients suffering from this chronic and
challenging autoimmune skin condition. This is instead of having that
EpiPen always by your side and having to jab yourself.
This is a nice oral option. First time we've had
this option.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah, so that sounds like a great idea. A lot
of things here that make a lot of sense, and
for a change, the news is more good than.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Not this week.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
So take it to heart as you're listening to this program,
and thank doctor Ken for his good service. Is good work.
He's certainly here to help. I believe we are all
here to help. Some people help more than others. But
Ken is here as a mainstay. Good Day Healthshow dot
com is the podcast. Find it wherever you get your
podcasts and listen to the radio program. Support your local
(32:17):
stations that are carrying this program as well. Continuing on
with a focus actually a little bit more weight information
coming up and how to focus on losing it. That's
next here on Good Day Health. I'm Doug Stephan. Doug
(32:38):
Stephan here, Good Day Health is on the air. All right,
So we were talking earlier about diabetes. Here's a question
about hot flashes is it true that more hot flashes
may lead to I guess I would be questioning do
they lead to diabetes or does diabetes lead to hot flashes.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
It seems that women doug with persistent hot flash is
in night sweats, which are also known as these basomotor symptoms,
they have a fifty percent increased risk of developing diabetes.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Wow, that's you surprised to know that.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
I am surprised by that. But it's type two diabetes,
and you know, and that's usually associated with obesity, and
maybe that's where the link is.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
So now let's talk about back pain. I don't think
I've ever had this conversation with you, whether you have
back issues or not. People that sit down a lot
have back issues. People who were like me growing up
on the farm, and I was the strongest kid around
for my size, but I wasn't very smart. I lifted
with my back instead of my legs. So by the
(33:46):
time I was eighteen nineteen years of age, I had
problems that have followed me all through my life, including
up until right now, where I'm being treated in various
ways for this chronic back pain and the disintegration arthritis
that's there. So maybe I should try yoga. It looks
like that's a recommendation here.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Yes, This comes out this week in JAMA the ZERNIM
of American Medical Association their Network Open edition, and what
they find of is it virtual yoga. So get your computer,
your screen, because if you can't get to a class,
virtual yoga can be a successful and accessible way to
manage chronic low back pain, which is just a common
(34:28):
ailment with major consequences. As you're suggesting chronic low back pain,
it can lead to physical and emotional suffering while increasing
health care costs and decreasing productivity and burdening healthcare professionals.
It's a major reason why people go to the doctor.
It's a cost issue. It's a major reason why people
don't go to work. And although most clinicians first recommend
(34:51):
trying non medical interventions such as yoga, there are obstacles
to an existing practice for this mind body technique for
people to get to it. And in this study they
actually use virtual yoga people in front of their screens,
going to some of the websites where you can do
yoga on the screen.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
So this is.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
Another option and it works so that if you can't
get to a class. You can do this at home
with a laptop on the floor, And this really is
a solution.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
With a popularity.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Of all the medical shows on TV, many of them
focused on the er. How come you never see children much.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
It's always adults.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
So that got me to thinking about children and er
visits and stuff. Is it just because of the age
would there be more.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Adults visiting the er?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Or is it an age factor because our bodies are
breaking down as we get older.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
Oh, I think there are plenty of kids going to
the er. They swallow the wrong thing, they cut themselves,
they fall down, they have accidents, sports injuries, spend some
time in the er. You'll see plenty of kids come
in with nausea, abomiting, diarrhea, you know, belly pain, sore throats,
(36:08):
they're there.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
It seems to me you're suggesting, I'm reading between the
lines here that the children visiting the er. Oftentimes the
visits are preventable because of the things you just mentioned, right,
just swallowing something wrong.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Or fall down.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
Well, they present for many that you know. They don't
present for heart attacks and strokes like adults do, fortunately,
but they present. They have their own risk factors, you know,
they fall on the soccer field or or they're doing
you know they're there. I'm not sure I know what
(36:47):
you're watching.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
I'm thinking about my grandson who's a soccer player, and
I went to his game last week and I watched
one of the kids, they're ten years old, nine ten
years old, fall down and apparently break his arm and
a couple of places. And you know, then that got
me to thinking, I think, you know how I think.
I think a lot of things that nobody else thinks about.
(37:09):
But you know, just why are there no more reports?
And you've just sort of clarified it as to why
there aren't more things? But kids, parents look out. Children
will be children, as they say, kids will be kids.
And I guess that maybe is an explanation in part
for that situation. Doctor ken Cronhouse situationally here every week.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
This Good Day Health Doug Stefan with Doctor Ken Cronhouse,
sponsored in part by Caldron, which is the safe way
for you to lose weight and keep it off.
The Good Day Health Podcast with doctor Ken Cronhouse, sponsored
in part by Caldron The Safe, proven Way to Lose
weight and keep it off. Hi, Doug Stefan. Here, I'm
with doctor Ken Cronhouse. He does a lot of research
in his own facility down in Mondua, Florida, but he
also goes through all the journals of medicine and comes
(00:21):
up with the synopsis of things that they are trying
to explain or more likely to doctors than they are
to layman. So Ken's job is to explain it to you,
the user, the.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Customer, if you will.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
So I have a lot of things on the Doctor
as usual today, and let's start Ken with some good news.
I like to start all my programs with good news.
And the thing that attracted me first of all was
the story about music and how it might speed one's
recovery from surgery.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Is this all surgeries?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Don't think any difference what surgery might be.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
It does and just goes to show us doctors they're
not such boring people. We do research on things that
might interest others. And here's at the American College of
Surgeons Annual meeting in San Francisco, here's a report about
music speeding the recovery of surgery in general. DOUG pop tunes,
(01:20):
smooth jams, and bangling beats in this study show that
they can help people more easily recover from surgery with
actually fewer painkillers being used. Listening to music, Doug it
reduces the anxiety, pain, and heart rate of patients waking
up from surgery. Surgical patients provided music tend to need
(01:44):
less than half the amount of morphine required by those
who are not listening to tunes. Listening to music caused
the reduction in levels of cortisol, which is the stress hormone.
You know, it's really stressful waking up from surgery. Anybody
who's or had surgery making that transition from waking up
and then that transition from being up to getting back
(02:06):
to normal life. And both of these transitory periods seem
to be nicely smoothed out by listening to music. And
it's not that expensive, So it seems like in the future.
Don't be surprised in recovery rooms if you hear some
nice music coming in, How.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Would you define or who decides what nice music is?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I might want to listen to the four Season.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
That's very that's a very good question. They addressed that
in this study. I'm ask that, and it seems like
the most effective music for reducing pain and smoothing the
awakening process was the music that the patient preferred. So
this really somehow if it could be customized. We do
(02:59):
pre opt clear is on patients as physicians, and maybe
another question we need to ask each of our patients
is what kind of music do they prefer? Just play
Frank Sinatra when I wake up and I'll be very happy.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Who put the bop and the bop? She bobshbop? Who
put the ram and the ram and ding dark?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
That might be a good one to wake up too,
But some people say Montevani are violin strings or whatever.
It'd be different for everybody, but it's nice to know
that there is a factor here.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
That's kind of cool, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Next item on the good news list on this week's
Good Day Health is a focus on young people using
tobacco products.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
So what's the report.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
There's some more good news, and this comes out of
the CDC said about two and a quarter million US
middle and high school students this year say they use
tobacco products, which is half a million fewer than a
year ago. This current number of youth who use tobacco
products is the lowest number in twenty five years, and
down from two point eight million and twenty twenty three. Interestingly,
(04:07):
the CDC attributes the decline and tobacco use to students
lowering their use of one type of product. You want
to guess which that is?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yep, the old vape thing there exactly.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Oh, he is a smart guy, my host, co host.
Here's the use of e cigarettes and the e cigarettes
DOUG seem to be the most commonly used tobacco product
among youths. And this is where the biggest decline is.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And you know, they get to get licenses for that stuff.
Who the hell was the sleep of the switch in
the government that gave these people approval to sell this crap?
That's good way, that's a going.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
To be question. I think they convinced people originally that
it was going to be a nice bridge to getting
off of.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
The use for research.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
The research the question that's it?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, so doesn't that?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yes, I don't mean to play that well, yes, I
do mean to play the devil's.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Advocate here, Yes, you do.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Don't hide behind it, No, I won't.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
So doesn't that call into question. You and I have
discussions all the time about things that come and you know,
it's all about the science, and it's the science this
and the science that. And I say to you, science
is there to just prove science, and then there's stuff like.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
This, it's well, it's all about the Well, let me
make an analogy that's homegrown for you. It's all about,
you know, the growing of food. And there are people
who grow poor quality foods. There are those who grow
high quality foods. Right, You talk about it all the time.
It's the same thing in science. There are those who
do poor quality science and those who do high quality science.
(05:47):
And I try, as a trained scientist to filter through
the studies and report the better ones. But you don't
remember me reporting let's go and give the kids the
e cigarettes to help them get off of cigarettes. So
I didn't afford that. That troubled me from the beginning.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, that's very troubling.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
And the other thing that troubles me about this, and
then I'll leave it, is how do you know these
kids that are being surveyed are actually telling the surveyor
or putting the correct answer on whatever sheet, whatever they're
being whatever they're using to survey them. I don't know
that I would trust. Well what a teenager?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Right? They also looked at sales, so that that's that's
a very good point, so because that is a concern
when you do that kind of research, the reliability. Ye,
all right, but they but sales were looked at in
the study which confirmed the reliability.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Got it. As we move ahead, We've gone through the
good news.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Now we'll get to the nts, so good news as
we move ahead here on this week's Good Day health,

Back with doctor Ken Cronhaus here on Good Day Health.
He weekly goes through all of the journals of medicine
and also with his experiences as a cardiologist, has so
many great stories and so much information to impart on you.
I am pleased and proud of the material that we've
covered over a long period of time.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We cover a lot of different things. We focus on things.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
That affect you your medical treatment.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
There's something for everybody. Every single week.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I know the most recent one we talked about AI
and misinformation about everything, including medicine. So if you want
to get Ken's take on that, help yourself to our
most recent podcast at good Day Healthshow dot com.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Also, you can listen to.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
The program on a lot of great radio stations around
the country. So take advantage of Ken and his expertise
to learn more about what's going on in the world
of conventional medicine. Now, I said, we went through the
good things. Here's something that's not so good. Focus on
a lot of older people who are moving after they
(09:32):
are told they have dementia.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
How does this fit together, Ken, No.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
This is an interesting report from job and Network Open
that we learned that a new diagnosis of Alzheimer's or
other dementia, it often spurs a person to move from
their home and One possible explanation is that individuals with
dementia DOUG and their caregivers may choose to move closer
to family or informal caregivers with independent housing arrangements or
(10:03):
entering formal long term care services. Anyone who hasn't ever
taken care of anyone with dementia, you're going to realize
this is a lot lot more work than you ever expected.
Families often initially think they're going to do it themselves,
and then they realize how difficult it is, and they
shouldn't feel like failures. They just learn and join a
(10:26):
long list of people who realize they can't do it.
And this is why we have professionals doing it. Taking
care of loved ones with dementia is a very challenging job.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
You think, were there any records when did we first
start studying or hearing about Alzheimer's and dementia, dementia and
on outgrowth of it as Alzheimer's.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
When did we start getting that information? I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Actually you don't remember it growing up, do you?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
No? Not at all?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Was it there when we were growing up or it
just wasn't.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Well the fact, I think in the seventh these it.
Really when we began to understand this process is when
it really became apparent.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Then later a decade later, we could do imaging and
we could see it. So it really was not as
we weren't aware of this back when you were a
little boy.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
No, no, but.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
It was definitely there, you know, it was definitely there.
And also people were not think it was what do
we call it confusion, you know, losing their mind or
people are also living longer and a lot of this
becomes an issue of just growing old. But there's clearly
dementia that occurs at a younger age and it's just
(11:39):
more recognized, and there were labels unfortunately for it, but
now we understand it.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, I just think I find it interesting when you
look back on things, some of the stuff and then't
just in medicine or science.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
It just things pop up all of a sudden from nowhere.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
There were no elderly folks in the Stephan family who
just didn't seem mentally to be themselves when you were
grow up.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Nope, dope, don't remember any of that.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Nope, all right, we'll continue up next year on good
Day health. Caltrin is on the top of the food chain,
if you will.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
When it comes to losing.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Weight, and because it is fall, it's time to focus
on what we seem to get into every year at.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
This time exactly.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
You know, we call it the eating season around here,
and you know, while this season is full of joy,
it is just also full of temptation. So when you
were taking caltrin, it's not only going to help you
lose the inches and the pounds, but it also helps
you make those better decisions because you do have less cravings,
you have more energy, you're not having the afternoon slump
(12:44):
or the crash because Caltrin's working with your body naturally.
So if you need a little bit of help, especially
this time of the year, Caltrin is gonna get you there.
The website is toploss dot com. There is a big
fall sale going on right now with discounts on every
single month. So whether you have a little bit of
weight to lose or a lot of weight to lose,
it's a great time to get on.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Caldren Elizabeth Miller from a top loss dot com and
Caldron Here. Hi, Doug Stephan Here, I'm with doctor ken
Kronhaus on Good Day Health Open Our brains are head
the eye opening, year opening, thought provoking ways to think
(13:24):
about you and your health and well being. So I
promise that we would go back to because there's a
lot of information this week ken about exercise, and I
see that there are a couple of other things we
haven't touched on yet with regard to weight training and
if you stop lifting weights. I have had this happen
(13:46):
to me because I've done a lot of it over
my life. I think we have to keep.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Our muscles strong.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I don't know whether necessarily big is important, but to
keep your skeleton together. Men and women, the more muscle
you have, the better off you are. But if you
have like me, you've ad back and they have to
take a little bit of time off from the weight training.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
What happens when you go back, Doug, This is.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Some good news out of the Scandinavia Journal of Medicine
and Science and Sports. People are often concerned if they
have to for whatever reason, give up their strength training,
will their muscles bounce back? And the report is that yes,
even after several weeks when you cannot do your strength
(14:30):
training program, the muscles will bounce back. Don't give up,
get back in the gym and realize that all of
the efforts that you've made developing these muscles will continue
even with several weeks when you can't do your strength
training program.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
So how does that relate to another story in the
Journal of Endocrine Society whatever in the world, that is
about vigorous workouts and what happens if you are hungry
when and you go to the gym.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
More good news about working out that vigorous workouts, especially
in women but in both sexes, will suppress hunger, and
the way it works is through a hormone called grellin.
Grellin is a hormone in the body that secretes that
tells us we're hungry. And this report measured Grellin levels
(15:23):
in people who were doing workouts, and especially in a
vigorous workout. Don't bring on symptoms when you work out,
but in vigorous workouts, Grellin levels do diminish your appetites
suppresses and this is especially seen in women.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
So here's the fifty four sixty four seventy four dollars question.
I see that there's also connect to do exercise and
body control.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Some information about.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
People, especially people who are over the age of fifty
who stand on one leg for thirty seconds. I can
do that on my I can easily do it on
my right leg, not so easy on my left leg.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
So what does all that is indicative?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
You?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
If you can rub your belly and rub your head
at the same time, what does that mean for your
health and well being? But in this case it's standing
on one foot at a time.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
What does this all mean?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
This report out of Pos one DOUG about assessing how
well people are aging, and it seems to be all
about balance and this test that they recommend for testing
us all to see how well we're aging. Essentially the
common thread is how well we can balance. So this
(16:40):
simple test that helps gauge signs of aging and people
fifty and over DOUG. People over fifty who can stand
on one leg for thirty seconds are aging gracefully, particularly
if it's not their strong leg. Graceful aging process occurs
if you can stand on one leg thirty seconds, especially
(17:01):
your weaker leg.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
So when you started that, I maybe here, I put
the microphone up, I stood up on my strong leg
and I stood there for the whole time. You destroy
Now I'm on my weak leg and I have to
balance myself.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
All right there for thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah no, I didn't get to well. I can stand
up for thirty seconds, but it's not easy.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Let's put it that way.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Doctor Cannon, doctor Doug I have, he's got a license.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I don't. This is good day.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Hell, Caltren is on the top of the food chain,
if you will, when it comes to losing weight, and
because it is fall, it's time to focus on what
we seem to get into every year at this time exactly.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
You know, we call it the eating season. There's candy,
there's food everywhere, warm bread, the leftovers, and you know,
while this season is full of joy, it is just
also full of temptation. Caltrin's working with your body naturally
to rebuild lean muscle, tissue, to repair joints. So overall,
you know, just within the first week or two of
(18:03):
taking caltrin, you are going to be sleeping better, waking
up refreshed, having more energy throughout your day, and even
less joint pain. And really around the one month mark
is when you're going to start to notice your clothes
fitting better, inch loss, maybe even a few pounds on
the scale. The west side is toploss dot Com. There's
a big falseale going on right now, though. Whether you
have a little bit of weight to lose or a
lot of weight to lose, it's a great time to
(18:25):
get on.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Caldrin, Elizabeth Miller from top Loss dot com and Caldron Here,
I've Doug Stefan. You're listening to Good Day Health with
Doctor Ken Cronhaus three five two seven three five fourteen hundred. Doug,
you give the number two quickly, three five two seven
three five fourteen hundred.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
That's the number for Ken's office.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Good Day Health the program on the air. We've been
on the air for twenty some years talking to people
about the biggest news stories.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
In the medical world.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
We have all kinds of things that have been on
file for a long time that you can find wherever
you get your podcasts, whether it's Spotify or Apple or
iHeart or Google or wherever you go to Good Day
healthshow dot com and listen to the discussion. You know,
this is very prejudicial, and I admit it, but I
find it horrible. I walked by somebody yesterday and they
(19:19):
were smoking, and the stench of the tobacco smoke stayed
with me for maybe one hundred feet or more, and
I drove by somebody that happening the same day in
a car who was smoking. In the smokers out the
window you could smell. I was driving down the highway
at like forty miles an hour and I could smell
(19:40):
it from the car in front of me. So what
do you think you're doing to your body? I mean
you oh that ericon sob No, I'm just saying I
grew up around it, been exposed to it. My mother
died because she smoked, and I remember vividly seeing that
haze on the windows and everything in.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
The house covered with it.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
And so what do you think it's doing to your body?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I guess is the question.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Okay, let's get to we're talking about how to protect
yourself from things like dementia. Here's a secret. This woman,
Maria Branyaz Morrero, has been all over the news because
she's the world's oldest living person. So what does she
(20:23):
say is the reason eating a lot of chocolate and
ice cream probably is in there, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Kenn Well, This is a woman who urged scientists to
study her before she expired so that the world would benefit.
And the report was published and sell reports medicine doug
the University of Barcelona. Researchers analyzed factors that contributed to
(20:49):
the long life of Maria Branyas Morea. She was born
in San Francisco, move Main at age eight, and she
died at the age of you ready one hundred and
seventeen in August of twenty twenty four. When she died,
she was the oldest living person in the world. Doug
A study of her life has revealed a healthy lifestyle,
(21:13):
beneficial bacteria in her microbiome, and genetics that have been
linked to longevity. She actually contracted COVID at age one
hundred and thirteen, but made a full recovery. She followed
a Mediterranean diet, avoiding too much fat and processed sugars.
She walked regularly until her advanced stage made walking too difficult.
(21:35):
She also did not indulge in either tobacco or alcohol.
As part of her diet, Brinya's ate lots of yogurt,
which kept her gut microbiome filled with beneficial bacteria, the
video bacterium. This bacteria is known to diminish inflammation, which
could contribute to faster aging. Finally, Brinya's carried genetic variants
(22:01):
that lowered her risk of high cholesterol levels, heart disease, cancer,
and dementia. And these can be new targets for new
drug development in the future. What a wonderful life she lived.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, and she was very generous with giving away the
secret to her longevity as well by asking people to
study it.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Very cool.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Doctor kenn is a noted cardiologist to link cardiology down Madua, Florida,
and as such, he is especially sensitive to any work
that's being done on heart disease circulatory problems. So you
found something that focuses on heart attack and strokecases and
(22:46):
how people can avoid them. Not that we don't talk
about this with regularity, but this is a big number.
Most every heart attack and stroke can be linked to
something that you can change right exactly.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
And this is published in the Journal of the American
College of Cardiology DOUG. Nearly all people, as you're pointing out,
who suffer a heart attack or strokes have at least
one of four major cardiovascular risk factors beforehand. Ninety nine
percent of participants in this study had high blood pressure,
(23:23):
high cholesterol, elevated blood sugar, or had used tobacco leading
up to a cardiac event. High blood pressure was the
most common issue. All four risk factors are preventable and
could be managed, so again, blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar,
(23:45):
and using tobacco. And I'm going to add my own
fifth to this list is follow your weight.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yep, keep it in check for sure. And that brings
us around to understanding what goes on a couple of
different things here. I want to talk about caldron for
a minute, but I also want to talk about people
that are making kind of mixing their own GLP one
stuff to lose weight and how that probably is not
(24:15):
the greatest idea in the world. Can I'll tell you
about that in a matter of moments. And then there's
a story about olive oil this week that's.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Really good for your body.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Caltrin is as well. For many years you've heard me
talk about America's number one choice for natural weight loss,
natural wellness. It's naturally safe, naturally stimulant free, it's clinically
proven twenty eight years of practice and work, and hundreds
(24:45):
and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people have lost
a lot of weight because they chose to try it
the natural way. It's a message that really kind of
rings a bell with some people.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
There are a lot of.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
People I know, Ken and I have talked about this
that are on the wegovis of the world, and then
they supplement with Caltron to keep the weight off. So
toplaws dot com is the place to start. That's the
website for Caltrin. You can check out all of the
various things that will help you understand how you can
start seeing results in just.

to go to the website, especially when somebody sent me

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Okay, So talking about diets and stuff, here's some interesting
information about olive oil.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
We've been seeing a lot of this lately.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Some people are you know, I actually have taken I
don't do it every day, but I'll take a swig
of olive oil sometimes at night with dinner.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I don't know. I have my belly fat. What I
have comes from.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Ice cream, and I understand that, but I can always
hope anyway. So what's the latest on this con connection
between olive oil and belly fat.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Well, adding some extra vergin olive oil to your screen
may be a good idea. This comes out of our
Frontiers and Nutrition doug. The new finding is that regular
consumption of extra virgin olive oil is associated with lower
body mass index the BMI and lower waste circumference. Your
(28:17):
waste size and extra virgin olive oil mediates a significant
portion of the Mediterranean diet's impact on central obesity, that
obesity that you just talked about, which is so hard
for us as we get older to get rid of.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Let's talk a little bit about this. I suggested a
few minutes ago. I've seen some information which makes me
think that people are going a little crazy. What is
GLP one? What do we define that as these weight
loss products? But a lot of people are mixing them
up and that's not a doesn't sound like a smart
move to me.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
What does it sound like to you?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Very onunsmart mixing your own GLP one DOUG for weight loss.
It's extremely dangerous. It can cause severe life threatening health consequences.
There's no oversight for quality or sterility. There's a risk
of having incorrect ingredients. There's a high potential for dosing errors.
(29:22):
There's severe and unpredictable side effects. I've seen them in patience,
and there's also lack of medical supervision. So I would
strongly urge against it. When there was a shortage compounded
pharmacies was okay, but the shortage is over. I would
get yourself an FDA approved prescription. And I know for
(29:47):
some that are costly, but it's really not worth jeopardizing
your health. And I've seen some people have some serious issues,
especially with their eyes, with these unappre compounds.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
What does g l P stand for?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
What is g l P?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
They call them g l P one. I don't know
what that stands for.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
It stands for DOUG glucagun like peptide one.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Okay, all right, speaking of things we can't pronounce.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
There's a new oral treatment for.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Chronic spontaneous urticaria.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Am I pronouncing that correctly?
Speaker 3 (30:28):
That that's that's well, let's talk about it. The the
FDA has approved a new oral treatment for chronic spontaneous urticaria.
This is a condition that causes recurrent, often debilitating hives
and swelling without a known cause. Erdicara is what we
(30:51):
see in an allergic reaction DOUG. This hives and swelling.
And the name of the drug is rhapsodough.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Use.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
We know what brings on the earth to carry this
allergic reaction, but in some it's just unclear. It occurs often,
it occurs unexpectedly. And this approval of the strugg rhapsodoh
from nevardis just approved yesterday. This is going to be
front page news today. This approval offers a new non
(31:24):
injectable therapeutic option for patients suffering from this chronic and
challenging autoimmune skin condition. This is instead of having that
EpiPen always by your side and having to jab yourself.
This is a nice oral option. First time we've had
this option.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah, so that sounds like a great idea. A lot
of things here that make a lot of sense, and
for a change, the news is more good than.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Not this week.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
So take it to heart as you're listening to this program,
and thank doctor Ken for his good service. Is good work.
He's certainly here to help. I believe we are all
here to help. Some people help more than others. But
Ken is here as a mainstay. Good Day Healthshow dot
com is the podcast. Find it wherever you get your
podcasts and listen to the radio program. Support your local
(32:17):
stations that are carrying this program as well. Continuing on
with a focus actually a little bit more weight information
coming up and how to focus on losing it. That's
next here on Good Day Health. I'm Doug Stephan. Doug
(32:38):
Stephan here, Good Day Health is on the air. All right,
So we were talking earlier about diabetes. Here's a question
about hot flashes is it true that more hot flashes
may lead to I guess I would be questioning do
they lead to diabetes or does diabetes lead to hot flashes.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
It seems that women doug with persistent hot flash is
in night sweats, which are also known as these basomotor symptoms,
they have a fifty percent increased risk of developing diabetes.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Wow, that's you surprised to know that.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
I am surprised by that. But it's type two diabetes,
and you know, and that's usually associated with obesity, and
maybe that's where the link is.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
So now let's talk about back pain. I don't think
I've ever had this conversation with you, whether you have
back issues or not. People that sit down a lot
have back issues. People who were like me growing up
on the farm, and I was the strongest kid around
for my size, but I wasn't very smart. I lifted
with my back instead of my legs. So by the
(33:46):
time I was eighteen nineteen years of age, I had
problems that have followed me all through my life, including
up until right now, where I'm being treated in various
ways for this chronic back pain and the disintegration arthritis
that's there. So maybe I should try yoga. It looks
like that's a recommendation here.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Yes, This comes out this week in JAMA the ZERNIM
of American Medical Association their Network Open edition, and what
they find of is it virtual yoga. So get your computer,
your screen, because if you can't get to a class,
virtual yoga can be a successful and accessible way to
manage chronic low back pain, which is just a common
(34:28):
ailment with major consequences. As you're suggesting chronic low back pain,
it can lead to physical and emotional suffering while increasing
health care costs and decreasing productivity and burdening healthcare professionals.
It's a major reason why people go to the doctor.
It's a cost issue. It's a major reason why people
don't go to work. And although most clinicians first recommend
(34:51):
trying non medical interventions such as yoga, there are obstacles
to an existing practice for this mind body technique for
people to get to it. And in this study they
actually use virtual yoga people in front of their screens,
going to some of the websites where you can do
yoga on the screen.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
So this is.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
Another option and it works so that if you can't
get to a class. You can do this at home
with a laptop on the floor, And this really is
a solution.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
With a popularity.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Of all the medical shows on TV, many of them
focused on the er. How come you never see children much.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
It's always adults.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
So that got me to thinking about children and er
visits and stuff. Is it just because of the age
would there be more.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Adults visiting the er?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Or is it an age factor because our bodies are
breaking down as we get older.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
Oh, I think there are plenty of kids going to
the er. They swallow the wrong thing, they cut themselves,
they fall down, they have accidents, sports injuries, spend some
time in the er. You'll see plenty of kids come
in with nausea, abomiting, diarrhea, you know, belly pain, sore throats,
(36:08):
they're there.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
It seems to me you're suggesting, I'm reading between the
lines here that the children visiting the er. Oftentimes the
visits are preventable because of the things you just mentioned, right,
just swallowing something wrong.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Or fall down.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
Well, they present for many that you know. They don't
present for heart attacks and strokes like adults do, fortunately,
but they present. They have their own risk factors, you know,
they fall on the soccer field or or they're doing
you know they're there. I'm not sure I know what
(36:47):
you're watching.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
I'm thinking about my grandson who's a soccer player, and
I went to his game last week and I watched
one of the kids, they're ten years old, nine ten
years old, fall down and apparently break his arm and
a couple of places. And you know, then that got
me to thinking, I think, you know how I think.
I think a lot of things that nobody else thinks about.
(37:09):
But you know, just why are there no more reports?
And you've just sort of clarified it as to why
there aren't more things? But kids, parents look out. Children
will be children, as they say, kids will be kids.
And I guess that maybe is an explanation in part
for that situation. Doctor ken Cronhouse situationally here every week.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant.
