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 the potential use of acupuncture for chronic lower back pain, a focus on a new blood test for early-detection of Alzheimer’s, and a new study shows long-term sleep troubles are associated between physical changes in the brain -- underscoring the critical link between sleep and cognitive health.
Next up, a focus on marijuana and what high levels of THC level does to egg quality in reproductive health leads to fertility problems, miscarriages and chromosome issues in embryos. On the topic of marijuana, chronic/habitual use may quadruple the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes in patients already at risk.
The conversation then shifts to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and the trauma a tragic event like this creates. Public violence and recent tragedy have left many shaken by what they have seen. While some people’s emotions stabilize, others may experience continuing symptoms in the following weeks.
Doug and Dr. Ken cover grounding techniques that can assist in overcoming.
Fatty liver disease is a problem becoming all too common, interfering often with the function of the liver, and it comes from being too obese among the obesity epidemic.
Lastly, Doug and Dr. Ken address listens questions, starting with whether or not milk does the body good and whether or not it is a good source of protein, addressing drug-resistant fungi, and whether or not abolishing Daylight Saving Time would benefit our 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 and all the medical journals. He
reads Zumita's research on his own. He interprets the data,
the information, and then you get the benefit the largest
(00:20):
of his brain and his work as a researcher and
also as a cardiologist at Mount Dura's Lake Cardiology. Mount
Dura's down in Florida, neat place to go to if
you want to ever have a great consultation, spend some
time and relax.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I would suggest you call this.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Number three five two seven three five one four double ow.
That's how you get to doctor Ken's office. That's how
you get the m That's how you maybe get some
telemedisine work done if you're from way far away in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Three five two seven, three five fourteen hundred. Lots of
things on the bill of fare, on the dockets, so
(01:00):
let's get to them. This is something that immediately attracted
my attention. Ken Acupuncture for chronic low back pain. That's
something that I've had for years and I do get
chiropractic and acupuncture if I have time. So how does
this benefit What is the unwashed public that doesn't know
(01:21):
anything about acupuncture but has lots of chronic lower back pain.
What do they need to know?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Well, we need you then to slow down and get
some help for your back. This comes out of Drama,
the Journal of the American Medical Association their network open
this week. It's a new study. It provides further support
for acupuncture as a safe and effective treatment for chronic
low back pain, exactly what you were talking about in
(01:48):
older adults. The research found that acupuncture needling improved the
disabling effects of the condition. The study adds dog to
the growing having body of evidence supporting the use of
complimentary and alternative medicines for pain management, offering a non
pharmaco logic option for a common and debilitating condition.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Uh huh. It is common, So many people have it.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I've had it since I was eighteen, actually working on
the farm lifting the wrong way. There's a lesson in
that lifting with your back not good. Lifting with your legs,
that's the way to do it. So have that in
the back of your mind, no matter what your age.
That's also another secret for trying to protect that lower
(02:36):
back of yours. I'm in the process of getting those shots.
I had a conversation with somebody, actually, someone who came
from Duke doctor who had lots of problems with his back,
and he had two or three surgeries, and he said
it was the best thing he did. He was trying
to talk me into doing that, and I said, well,
people that I know up here have had it done
(02:58):
and the problem them and the pain just goes north
or south or wherever the operation is. But he's working
on me. Ken he thinks that I should have that.
So let's see what happens anyway. Okay, So now I
have a couple of things from the Alzheimer's department that
we ought to talk about, and that includes a focus
(03:20):
on a new blood test or is this new early
detection can come from a blood test? What do you
have to ask when you're getting your blood work done
in your physical hopefully everybody does that every year.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
What do you have to ask for?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
This is cutting edge stuff? Doug Joma again Journal of
the American Medical Association. Now they're a neurology edition. Just
this week a new two step blood test and scan
strategy for early signs of Alzheimer's. So this is not
for screening all of us. Is this when you're beginning
to wonder about am I beginning to get Alzheimer's. There's
(03:57):
some early signs that it may it's not clear. This
combined two step blood tests and scan strategy has demonstrated
DOUG near perfect accuracy. The test which uses plasma pe
tow two seventeen testing that's for a specific protein in
(04:17):
the blood it's produced when you have Alzheimer's. It could
help identify preclinical Alzheimer's disease in cognitively unimpaired adults, potentially
streamlining clinical trials and improving early detection.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Well, early detection is something that most people want. That
that's the bottom line. Isn't it having information about what
could happen down the road.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Well, it's important if we're doing studies on drugs to
try to figure out if we can actually treat Alzheimer's.
And it is also very helpful to get to what's
available now to get early And there are other prognostic
issues as you're discussing. Some people are desperate to know
(05:08):
and some people don't want to know anything about it.
Very wide variation about the point you bring up.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
All right, so let's go to the next page here
of information that's available this week. While we're in the
Alzheimer's in dimension department, let's talk about insomnia and what
that may do for the risk factor.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Doug published this week in the medical journal Neurology is
a large Mayo clinic study. They discover that chronic insomnia
may increase the risk of dementia by forty percent. The
study's brain scans show that long term sleep troubles are
associated with physical changes in the brain, underscoring the critical
(05:50):
link between sleep and cognitive health.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
That's not really a surprise, is it. It doesn't seem
to me like that's that's kind of almost that.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yes or no.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Well, your intuition in your mind ow Trump's science, and
you know, those of us who are scientists want to
see the science before we'll believe it does.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, but you know what, sometimes that goes too far,
and you and I have had this.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Sort of yea, let's talk about something else. Well, it's
just the finding of a study. You may want to
complain to where your tax money is going for studies.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
But that's not what I'm saying, I'm suggesting that there
are a lot of studies that disprove other studies, and
that's the thing that makes the public look a scance
at some of this stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You're pointing out, You're pointing out that this study actually
proves what the public thinks.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, I think that. I am so good.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
All right, speaking of studies, here's a link with a
focus on marijuana, the THC level and what it does.
I'm kind of I'm looking at this and thinking, huh,
what's THHD level have to do with egg quality?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You're gonna unroll it.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Well, THC is the active ingredient in marijuana, right, and
we're talking now about human fertility, Doug. This was published
in the medical journal Nature Communications this week.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Okay, so.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Here I'm gonna I'm gonna throw you know, you're gonna
laugh at this because when I saw egg quality, I'm thinking,
what does this get to do with chickens?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And so here we go has to do with humans?
I got it. Yes, you straighten that up for me.
Please keep going, Doug.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
High. The conclusion of the study published this week in
Nature Communications is a high levels of THC. This is
smoking a lot of marijuana, and this is the active
ingredient in marijuana that causes the high. It may affect
how eggs develop. This is how eggs and women will develop.
(08:05):
You and I came from an egg and could lead
to fertility problems, miscarriages, and chromosome issues in embryos. And
that's the conclusion of this study. M hm.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And so what do you think, what's your takeaway from that?
I mean in terms of I was just thinking, we're
talking about egg quality, and we all come from eggs.
Some beings come from eggs that are laid outside the body,
and others come from eggs that are created in the body. Everything.
I never really thought about it until just now how
that works. We all come from some kind of an egg.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
That is correct, a sperm and an egg.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah there really are men and women, Yes there are.
That's true, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
And then the other marijuana story is a focus on
what it does if you're at risk for type two diabetes.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
DOUG.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
We might nearly quadruple a person's risk of developing type
two diabetes. This comes out of the meeting of the
European Association for the Study of Diabetes in Vienna. This week.
It's a large scale study involving over four million adults
discovered that people who use cannabis have a three point
(09:22):
seven times greater risk of type two diabetes compared to
the general population.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
That does not surprise you.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Well it it's not. This study didn't explain why that's true.
It doesn't surprise me if there's any adverse effects of
nicotine from smoking cigarettes, or if there's any adverse effects
from smoking marijuana to the body in terms of the health.
But why specifically does it cause diabetes? You have to
(09:57):
do some thinking about that, and it's not clear, and
you know, is it that again, this study shows a correlation,
and we know in science that correlation doesn't tell you
cause an effect, and so you have to think about
what caused what? And is it because people who use
marijuana predominantly have a poor diet and leads to obesity
(10:20):
and glucose intolerance and diabetes type two? Is there or
is there something in the marijuana that makes you insensitive
to your own bodies insulin making the blood sugar go high,
causing diabetes. It's not really clear, and this is where
more research is needed. Why smoking marijuana is so highly
(10:41):
correlated with getting type two diabetes.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
All right, that's a good thing for us to be
focused on, though, as many of the things all Can
is trying to do is help you out. He's here
every week on Good Day Health. If you don't get
a chance to hear the whole program or you miss it,

and how we take care of our bodies. The blast
that you can get from going right now to Toploss
dot com. There are some great bargains this weekend. Caltron
on the move, helping hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
(11:48):
thousands of people all around the globe blues weight and
keep it off the natural way, the non toxic way,
or to support weight loss efforts in using the drugs.
It's either or, and not necessarily either or. It is
either one or both. When you're ordering, use the DOUG
code on all orders over fifty bucks. You get the
best bargain of the day at toploss dot com.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Here we are back on good day health.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
One of the up and coming stars on the radio
is a guy named Charlie Kirk. By now, most everybody
listening to any radio station, any radio program, watching television,
connected to social media. If you didn't know who Charlie
Kirk was before, you sure do now. And one of
the things that you can say, well, what's the medical
connection here? There is And I've seen a lot of
(12:42):
this actually, frankly as a sub set to the Charlie
Kirk situation, because much of the video is so graphic.
Can the way the unnecessary in my mind, descriptions and
pictures of what happened to Charlie Kirk when he was shot,
and the trauma that it creates with people is something
(13:04):
that is hard to once it's in your head, it's
hard to get it out of your head, and that's
what you want to focus on here, I think.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Right exactly, Doug. Public violence and recent tragedy, including the
deaths of Charlie Kirk and Irena Zurutsky, have left many
shaken by what they have seen. These efforts may include shock, fear,
hyper vigilance, difficulties sleeping, and a mental replaying of the images.
(13:37):
While some people's emotions stabilize and symptoms fade over time, Doug,
others may experience intrusive thoughts, nightmares, or emotional detachment in
the following weeks. Some coping mechanisms include grounding techniques like
deep breathing, writing down thoughts and feelings, and talking with
(13:59):
trust people. Getting adequate sleep, exercising, and eating healthy foods
can also be beneficial. What helps me other than not
watching it is Physical activity in particular, is known to
release tension from the body and calm the nervous system.
(14:20):
But persistent insomnia, panic attacks, irritability that strains relationships, or
withdrawal from daily life are signs that the stress response
has gone beyond the normal range. Please get professional help
if you are unable to function at work, school, or home.
(14:41):
And I know several that have been affected by this,
and this has been my recommendation. I personally remember as
a little boy watching the assassination of President Kennedy for
my whole life. I can't get those images out of
my mind. And as much as I've discussed Charlie kirk
his loss, I have tried myself to not watch the videos.
(15:05):
And that doesn't mean that his death has great meaning
to me.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Or it doesn't have great men. Yeah, I understand what
you're saying.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I don't do that anymore. I don't look at any
of the videos.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Great meaning to me.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, I don't have any interest, frankly, in looking at
videos of this kind of stuff or the blow you know,
somebody's But it's like going to a movie. I remember
seeing a trailer for a movie a war in the
Middle East, and that showed a guy who's body being
(15:40):
blown in half. I don't want to see that. I
don't find that necessary. It, sirves Hell isn't entertaining. So
what do you want to want?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
What is there about your nature?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I guess would be the question mark that makes you
want to look at stuff like that. I suppose we
could dig really into the culture of horror movies in general,
and all the blood and guts and things that people see.
I think that's the psychological there's you know, the people
that would do the kinds of stuff that we're talking about.
To guys like Charlie Kirk and that woman on the
(16:10):
on the train, they got the way the guy just
killed her.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
What the hell is it? I don't get it, Frankly,
don't get it at all.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Okay, all right, let's get off of that and get
on to some other important information from doctor Ken. In
a matter of moments here on Good Day Health, I'm
Doug Stephan and she's not.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
She could be Elizabeth Miller. However, as a matter of fact,
she is.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Elizabeth Miller is one of the great reasons for going
to toploss dot Com and engaging in the work of
caltron getting that weight off the natural way.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Caltron is different than everything else out there because it's
really good for you. It's actually drug free, stimulant free,
so it's good for you. We've been helping customers since
nineteen ninety seven. It's that's up for two hundred thousand
happy customers, so I know we've just helped people all
over the United States, Loz White. So if you go
to toploss dot com, you'll say the counter and sell
right there. But we do also, like Dougs had, put
(17:03):
together custom packages. Usually they're available by email or our
Facebook page, or you can call us and we'll put
together something custom for you that will also have some
special pricing on there. And then of course Doug has
a promo code. If you use the promo code Doug,
that's going to say bey on shipping on all orders.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Elizabeth Miller from the folks at calder Tren.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Thanks Elizabeth.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Back with doctor Ken Cronhaus Doug Stephan. I count him
as one of my great friends for lots of different reasons.
You don't have to be friends with him, but you
certainly can gain from having access to his knowledge and
the way he handles patients. And you can do that
through a visit to Lake Cardiology, whether in person or
the old telemedicine. I think you and I are having
(17:43):
a telemedicine conversation later on today. Matter of fact, three
five two we are seven three five fourteen hundred. That's
how you get to late Cardiology and doctor Ken three
five two seven three five one four Oh all right,
We talk a lot of about vitamin B three.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
We talk a lot.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
About vitamins and supplements and difference between all natural vitamins
and the things that are not natural, basically the synthetic stuff.
We don't have much use for that sort of thing.
Vitamin B three is important, The B vitamins are very important,
a lot of research on that. We talk about that frequently.
(18:23):
This focus is on fatty liver disease. So let's first
describe what fatty liver disease is.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Can huh, Well, it's.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
A problem that's becoming all too common, and it's exactly
what you said. It's when you see fat in the
liver and it interferes often but not always, with the
function of the liver. And that's when it becomes very important.
And it often is from just being two obese, and
with the obesity epidemic we see a lot of this.
(18:54):
It's not always, but that is often a cause, and
it will often interfere with function of liver and can
be a very serious issue, very difficult to treat. But
there's some hope here, and I'm sure that most people
listening to this knows somebody who deals with this. This
was published this week in the medical journal Metabolism, Clinical
(19:14):
and Experimental and Doug researchers have identified micro rna DASH
ninety three as a genetic driver of fatty liver disease,
and they discovered that vitamin B three, which you love
is niasin, can effectively suppress it. This breakthrough, Doug suggests
that a common, affordable vitamin could be a new treatment
(19:38):
for millions of people with this condition.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
So niasin and vitamin B three are synonymous?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Is that it correct? Okay?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
So I remember myself and don't treat yourself with niosin.
But definitely, if you're dealing with fatty liver, talk to
your liver specialist about this. Get advice, but don't do
it yourself. You can make it worse by self treating
with niosin.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
All right, So when you say make it worse, what
does that mean? Spread that out a little bit, will you?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Well?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
It's Niosin is a drug at the level, and you
have to dose it appropriately because too much of it
can be harmful to the.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Liver, right, all right, But then fatty liver it has to.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Be individual It has to be individualized. Just like you
don't want to pull your own teeth. You don't want
to treat your own liver disease with niosin.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Okay, So if we need be we need to be vitamins.
How do we know which one is rich? Is veteramin
B two, there's vitamin B three, there's veterin B B
twelve and some other variants.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
How are they all related? Why they call B vitamins?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Just just take a good multi vitamin and don't and
don't worry about the weeds, and you'll be doing fine.
And just get you know, go to the doctor, get
your blood check once a year and they'll they'll fit.
Most of us are doing fine if we eat a
healthy diet, take a multivitamin each each day. The multivitamins
have more than what we need. Fortunately, they're water soluble.
(21:12):
If you take too much, you'll just excrete them for
the bees, not for all of them. Like the d's.
There are many vitamins. The a's you don't want to
take too much, but bees are water soluble, you'll get
rid of them. Just take a good multivite, eat a
healthy diet, and just you know, once a year, get
your blood checked by your doctor. At least you know
that once a year check and you can easily figure
(21:34):
out if there's a bite vitamin B deficiency, which most
of us don't have, but it can be easily picked up.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Well.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
The problem is that a lot of people don't have
a yearly exam, they don't get the blood work that
we were talking about earlier, and so under the circumstances.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
That they're not going to be able to, they're not
going to be able to they're not going to be
able to help themselves under the circumstances.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
No, yeah, it's so important to even you know, I
haven't got insurance.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I can't afford to do it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
You can't afford not to do it.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
It's moronic.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I would say that Ken wouldn't use that word, but
I believe it is completely maronic for people to spend
money for things that aren't necessarily.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I guess it depends on what you want.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
You want to live a long, healthy, happy life. You
have friends, you have relatives, you've got children, and you
want to spend as much time with them as possible.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Then you need to protect and.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Guard your body and your health. If you don't care,
you don't give a rats. But then this is all
not for you. This stuff is aimed the material that
can research is what we talk about here on Good
Day Health is all aimed at you living a happy,
healthier life and trying to get to the.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Root of a problem before they really become problems.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
And that's perfectly that's a fine example of it, the
discussion of fatty liver disease DOUG.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
When I'm talking about it's not expensive sophisticated care. This
is meager, very inexpensive, and any kind of health anybody
gets where they're financially strapped, this would cover. So this
is a minimal expense in terms of what we're talking
about right now.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Right exactly. Well, that's what I'm saying. You know, you
spend money to.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Buy a bottle of alcohol, or.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
You spend money for something that is not necessary and
in fact may be bad for you.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
This is good for you. Good information. Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Now there's a focus on what's called food noise, and
this could come from social media, from advertising. Who knows
how this stuff has passed around, But there's a lot
of food and I'm going to talk about something specific
with regard to this after you give us the food
(23:47):
sort of like the food news reduction, food noise reduction act.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Well. This is interesting though, because food noise, the way
I'm using it, is actually our own bodies talking to us.
And this comes out of the European Association for the
Study of Diabetes this week that people taking semeglatide and
that's one of these new weight loss drugs, And this
is probably a class effect of these new weight loss drugs.
(24:17):
People taking them experience a reduction in food noise, which
refers to intrusive thoughts about food. This provides a behavioral
explanation for how the drug aids in weight loss beyond
just its metabolic effects. So we all know, those of
us who deal with weight issues, our body keeps reminding
(24:39):
us with chattering noise about food. And apparently this new
class of drugs, the GLP one agonists, actually interfere with
that rumble inside our bodies with regards to food, helping
us suppress it and helping us lose weight.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
All Right, So, in a moment, I want to talk
about other sorts of food noise. The food noise you're
talking about is one aspect. There's another thing that I
classify as food noise. First, let's talk about the most
successful person on the Caldron program. This week, lady that
went from one hundred and fifty eight pounds to one
(25:17):
hundred and forty six pounds. She never measured herself because
she didn't want to know how big she was, but
she knows now she's lost inches and her story is
the latest to be told at toploss dot com, which
is the website for Caldron. There are other people who
have stories that are a lot larger, if you will,
than that one hundred and fifty eight to one hundred
and forty six twelve pounds didn't happen overnight, happened over
(25:40):
about three months. But then there are those who have
lost thirty pounds, sixty pounds, ninety pounds, and it's all
about sticking to the program with America's number one way to.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Lose weight and keep it off.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
So I invite you to go to toploss dot com and

Speaker 2 (26:18):
You're on your way to success.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Back with doctor Ken, I want to revisit for a
moment our discussion. We almost every week have a discussion
about three or four things, including Alzheimer's and connections to dementia,
that sort of thing. And we were talking about insomnia
and dementia. There's another connection when it comes to Alzheimers.
We were talking about blood detection. So the other important
(26:41):
thing to learn this week is about a focus on
your diet and what that does, what you're eating, how
that affects Alzheimer's symptoms.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Can Yes.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
The third important breakthrough this week about Alzheimer's was published
this week in sid Tech Daily DOUG that a high
fiber diet appears to ease Alzheimer's symptoms by calming the
gut brain axis. The high fiber diet was found to
reduce Alzheimer's related frailty, including tremors. This study adds to
(27:16):
the growing body of research DOUG on the connection between
diet and neurodegenerative diseases.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Wow, all right, I want to go back to the
food noise and take a spin around the block with
my focus on what kind of food noise I get
concerned about. And that has to do with something that
was prominent this week because of the Health and Human
Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior making it a focus
(27:48):
talking about the use of whole milk and how decades
ago the government made whole milk the enemy and now
a lot of people who are fitness folk are on
board with what Kennedy is saying that it was a mistake.
This had to do with the war unsaturated fats and
(28:10):
how the nutrition so called experts said, well, we better
get rid of whole milk because that's a saturated fat.
And you know, is it linked to heart disease? Is
there better guidance? Its necessary because now the new findings
suggest and you see pictures of Kennedy everywhere having ice
cream and drinking milk, so milk and yogurt and cheese
(28:35):
and that sort of thing. It is not, according to him,
going to is it causal? I'm going to ask you
as a cardiologist, he says, it's not necessarily causal when
it comes to the risk of cardiovascu of the disease.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
What say you, Well, my.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Nurse mother grew me up on whole milk, and I
think what RFK was referring to was especially in children,
DOUG not taking the fat out of the milk for
our children, putting it in the schools, and especially the
fat that's naturally found in whole milk helps kids to
(29:15):
absorb a lot of the vitamins that they need as
they're growing. So I think in the young growing population,
using whole milk is a good idea RFK is introducing. Well,
I think you have again you have to individualize medicine,
and I think where you have to start thinking about
it as people get older into middle age and their
(29:38):
risk of heart disease, then it may become a factor
for some depending on their risk profile for heart disease.
And I don't think saturated fat is off rfk's radar
as a way of protecting some from the number one
killer heart attacks the number one disablers strokes. So again
(30:01):
I think what RFK is addressing a certain population and
urging that especially in the schools, we put back whole
milk and take away skim milk. That this was not
well thought out, and I have to agree with RFK.
For the youngsters, this is.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
True there's a Harvard study that suggests that the science
is what they call unsettled when it comes to dietary
guidelines and the milk does your body good.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
So I find that interesting.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
All right, So there's the answer to that question before
we get asked the question. But up next questions for
doctor Ken Crownhouse. Here we are back on Good day health.
So if somebody asks you, I think you were trying
to clarify it for a certain age population, would you
(30:50):
agree that milk does your body good no matter what
your age or would you not agree with that?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
I think in modern I'm a milk drinker, Doug, I
like as I think as well. That's for another show.
We don't have enough time. But as a as a
source of protein, it's excellent. But I again, it depending
on the age and history and risk profile of the patient.
(31:16):
You know, that is where I would individualize, you know,
whether they should be drinking whole or reduced saturated fat milk.
And it's just individualized. But for the children, you know,
it's a good idea to put back whole milk into
the schools.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Right, we got milk wrong?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
And yeah, I know you don't like talking about things
like raw milk because it goes against what you were
taught in school. I'm a better professor on that than
the guys in school because I actually lived it and
I know what it's all about. So I resist to
the point of resenting somebody telling me how bad raw
milk is. It's not about raw milk and general, it's
about how it's processed.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Is how it's milk. The cow has treated all of
that stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
So the general generic milk is bad for you is
bunk them. It's actually, frankly a lie. So I get
very turned up and on on that. But that's not
as you said. That could be another discussion for another day.
Let's get to the next question about drug resistant fungus
or fungi. You know, fungus has all kinds of forms,
(32:19):
where mushrooms are a fungus, some we can eat and
some we can't, and some people have toe fungus, and
there's other funguses. So how do we get rid of them?
I guess is the question that's being asked here.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Yeah, the way to get rid of it is very
early detection. Doug may be a little scary going to
the hospital in Europe these days, Doug, this is out
of the British Medical Journal just this week. The drug
resistant fungus Candida orus is now considered endemic in Europe
and is spreading rapidly. Patients who have been hospitalized in
a healthcare facility a long time and have lines and
(32:55):
tubes that go into their bodies such as breathing tubes,
feeding tubes and central as catheters seem to be at
highest risk. And again the spread can be contained by
early detection and also these lines that are in your body,
making sure that the healthcare providers keep them in when
they're needed, but get them out as soon as they're not.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
All right.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Here's a question about whether we should have permanent standard
time or not and what it does medically. How would
abolishing daylight saving time benefit one's health DOUG.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences had a
publication just this week about this question, and what they
conclude is that switching to permanent standard time would prevent
about three hundred thousand cases of stroke per year and
result in two point six million fewer people with obesity.
This study estimated how different national time policies DUG might
(33:50):
affect American Circadian rhythms the bodies innate clock that regulates
many physiological processes. Here's the key, Doug. You generally need
more morning light and less evening light to keep well
synchronized to a twenty four hour day. An out of
sync circadian cycle has been linked with many different poor
(34:12):
health outcomes. The more light exposure you get at the
wrong times, the weaker the circadian clock. All of these
things that are downstream, for example, your immune system, your
energy do not match up quite as well with a
weaker circadian clock.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Right, okay, here's a question about things you were talking about.
Blood tests et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, and things
that we should know about the biomarkers. Most people understand
the glue close say it again, the glucose level and
the HDL cholesterol cholesterol means, but they're understand what.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Alt is and mc HC. Do we need to know
what that is?
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Not?
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Really? I mean, well, those are various things. One is
a liver test alt one of the four especially important
liver tests, alkin fossil taste. And then the other one
is just on your CBC or complete blood count, the
size shape of your red blood cell, not so important.
(35:16):
Just know you're hemoglobe and you're a madecrit that you're
not in kneemic. Your red blood cell count and you're
getting down into the subweeds and if those are normal,
don't worry about it. If they're abnormal, then talk to
the doctor and the whole story about your blood red cell.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Down all right, Get those blood tests, get your physical
every year. Please, that's most important thing you can do
for yourself other than treat the daily aches and pains.
Good Day healthshow dot com on wherever you get your podcast,
that's where you can get.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
A tune in to.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
You will if you will, to all the archival information
that's there with doctor Ken Kronhaus. I'm Doug Stefan with
Good Day Health.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
This program was produced at bobk Sound and Recording.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Please visit bobkse. This Good Day Health Doug Stephen with
doctor Ken Cronhous, 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 and all the medical journals. He
reads Zumita's research on his own. He interprets the data,
the information, and then you get the benefit the largest
(00:20):
of his brain and his work as a researcher and
also as a cardiologist at Mount Dura's Lake Cardiology. Mount
Dura's down in Florida, neat place to go to if
you want to ever have a great consultation, spend some
time and relax.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I would suggest you call this.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Number three five two seven three five one four double ow.
That's how you get to doctor Ken's office. That's how
you get the m That's how you maybe get some
telemedisine work done if you're from way far away in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Three five two seven, three five fourteen hundred. Lots of
things on the bill of fare, on the dockets, so
(01:00):
let's get to them. This is something that immediately attracted
my attention. Ken Acupuncture for chronic low back pain. That's
something that I've had for years and I do get
chiropractic and acupuncture if I have time. So how does
this benefit What is the unwashed public that doesn't know
(01:21):
anything about acupuncture but has lots of chronic lower back pain.
What do they need to know?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Well, we need you then to slow down and get
some help for your back. This comes out of Drama,
the Journal of the American Medical Association their network open
this week. It's a new study. It provides further support
for acupuncture as a safe and effective treatment for chronic
low back pain, exactly what you were talking about in
(01:48):
older adults. The research found that acupuncture needling improved the
disabling effects of the condition. The study adds dog to
the growing having body of evidence supporting the use of
complimentary and alternative medicines for pain management, offering a non
pharmaco logic option for a common and debilitating condition.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Uh huh. It is common, So many people have it.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I've had it since I was eighteen, actually working on
the farm lifting the wrong way. There's a lesson in
that lifting with your back not good. Lifting with your legs,
that's the way to do it. So have that in
the back of your mind, no matter what your age.
That's also another secret for trying to protect that lower
(02:36):
back of yours. I'm in the process of getting those shots.
I had a conversation with somebody, actually, someone who came
from Duke doctor who had lots of problems with his back,
and he had two or three surgeries, and he said
it was the best thing he did. He was trying
to talk me into doing that, and I said, well,
people that I know up here have had it done
(02:58):
and the problem them and the pain just goes north
or south or wherever the operation is. But he's working
on me. Ken he thinks that I should have that.
So let's see what happens anyway. Okay, So now I
have a couple of things from the Alzheimer's department that
we ought to talk about, and that includes a focus
(03:20):
on a new blood test or is this new early
detection can come from a blood test? What do you
have to ask when you're getting your blood work done
in your physical hopefully everybody does that every year.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
What do you have to ask for?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
This is cutting edge stuff? Doug Joma again Journal of
the American Medical Association. Now they're a neurology edition. Just
this week a new two step blood test and scan
strategy for early signs of Alzheimer's. So this is not
for screening all of us. Is this when you're beginning
to wonder about am I beginning to get Alzheimer's. There's
(03:57):
some early signs that it may it's not clear. This
combined two step blood tests and scan strategy has demonstrated
DOUG near perfect accuracy. The test which uses plasma pe
tow two seventeen testing that's for a specific protein in
(04:17):
the blood it's produced when you have Alzheimer's. It could
help identify preclinical Alzheimer's disease in cognitively unimpaired adults, potentially
streamlining clinical trials and improving early detection.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Well, early detection is something that most people want. That
that's the bottom line. Isn't it having information about what
could happen down the road.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Well, it's important if we're doing studies on drugs to
try to figure out if we can actually treat Alzheimer's.
And it is also very helpful to get to what's
available now to get early And there are other prognostic
issues as you're discussing. Some people are desperate to know
(05:08):
and some people don't want to know anything about it.
Very wide variation about the point you bring up.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
All right, so let's go to the next page here
of information that's available this week. While we're in the
Alzheimer's in dimension department, let's talk about insomnia and what
that may do for the risk factor.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Doug published this week in the medical journal Neurology is
a large Mayo clinic study. They discover that chronic insomnia
may increase the risk of dementia by forty percent. The
study's brain scans show that long term sleep troubles are
associated with physical changes in the brain, underscoring the critical
(05:50):
link between sleep and cognitive health.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
That's not really a surprise, is it. It doesn't seem
to me like that's that's kind of almost that.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yes or no.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Well, your intuition in your mind ow Trump's science, and
you know, those of us who are scientists want to
see the science before we'll believe it does.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, but you know what, sometimes that goes too far,
and you and I have had this.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Sort of yea, let's talk about something else. Well, it's
just the finding of a study. You may want to
complain to where your tax money is going for studies.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
But that's not what I'm saying, I'm suggesting that there
are a lot of studies that disprove other studies, and
that's the thing that makes the public look a scance
at some of this stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You're pointing out, You're pointing out that this study actually
proves what the public thinks.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, I think that. I am so good.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
All right, speaking of studies, here's a link with a
focus on marijuana, the THC level and what it does.
I'm kind of I'm looking at this and thinking, huh,
what's THHD level have to do with egg quality?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You're gonna unroll it.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Well, THC is the active ingredient in marijuana, right, and
we're talking now about human fertility, Doug. This was published
in the medical journal Nature Communications this week.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Okay, so.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Here I'm gonna I'm gonna throw you know, you're gonna
laugh at this because when I saw egg quality, I'm thinking,
what does this get to do with chickens?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And so here we go has to do with humans?
I got it. Yes, you straighten that up for me.
Please keep going, Doug.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
High. The conclusion of the study published this week in
Nature Communications is a high levels of THC. This is
smoking a lot of marijuana, and this is the active
ingredient in marijuana that causes the high. It may affect
how eggs develop. This is how eggs and women will develop.
(08:05):
You and I came from an egg and could lead
to fertility problems, miscarriages, and chromosome issues in embryos. And
that's the conclusion of this study. M hm.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And so what do you think, what's your takeaway from that?
I mean in terms of I was just thinking, we're
talking about egg quality, and we all come from eggs.
Some beings come from eggs that are laid outside the body,
and others come from eggs that are created in the body. Everything.
I never really thought about it until just now how
that works. We all come from some kind of an egg.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
That is correct, a sperm and an egg.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah there really are men and women, Yes there are.
That's true, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
And then the other marijuana story is a focus on
what it does if you're at risk for type two diabetes.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
DOUG.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
We might nearly quadruple a person's risk of developing type
two diabetes. This comes out of the meeting of the
European Association for the Study of Diabetes in Vienna. This week.
It's a large scale study involving over four million adults
discovered that people who use cannabis have a three point
(09:22):
seven times greater risk of type two diabetes compared to
the general population.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
That does not surprise you.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Well it it's not. This study didn't explain why that's true.
It doesn't surprise me if there's any adverse effects of
nicotine from smoking cigarettes, or if there's any adverse effects
from smoking marijuana to the body in terms of the health.
But why specifically does it cause diabetes? You have to
(09:57):
do some thinking about that, and it's not clear, and
you know, is it that again, this study shows a correlation,
and we know in science that correlation doesn't tell you
cause an effect, and so you have to think about
what caused what? And is it because people who use
marijuana predominantly have a poor diet and leads to obesity
(10:20):
and glucose intolerance and diabetes type two? Is there or
is there something in the marijuana that makes you insensitive
to your own bodies insulin making the blood sugar go high,
causing diabetes. It's not really clear, and this is where
more research is needed. Why smoking marijuana is so highly
(10:41):
correlated with getting type two diabetes.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
All right, that's a good thing for us to be
focused on, though, as many of the things all Can
is trying to do is help you out. He's here
every week on Good Day Health. If you don't get
a chance to hear the whole program or you miss it,
you can catch all the programs, the most recent ones,
the ones that go back years. We have hundreds and
hundreds of hours of conversation and they're all available at

Goodday healthshow dot com. So wherever you get your podcasts,
where you're listening to various podcasts, you can always find
Good Day Healthshow dot com. All right, program brought to
you by Calatrin America, is number one way to lose
weight and to keep it off. That's the very important
thing that's the discussion here. That's the power of this.
(11:26):
The understanding that you and I and others, you know,
the whole business about what we do with our bodies
and how we take care of our bodies. The blast
that you can get from going right now to Toploss
dot com. There are some great bargains this weekend. Caltron
on the move, helping hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
(11:48):
thousands of people all around the globe blues weight and
keep it off the natural way, the non toxic way,
or to support weight loss efforts in using the drugs.
It's either or, and not necessarily either or. It is
either one or both. When you're ordering, use the DOUG
code on all orders over fifty bucks. You get the
best bargain of the day at toploss dot com.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Here we are back on good day health.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
One of the up and coming stars on the radio
is a guy named Charlie Kirk. By now, most everybody
listening to any radio station, any radio program, watching television,
connected to social media. If you didn't know who Charlie
Kirk was before, you sure do now. And one of
the things that you can say, well, what's the medical
connection here? There is And I've seen a lot of
(12:42):
this actually, frankly as a sub set to the Charlie
Kirk situation, because much of the video is so graphic.
Can the way the unnecessary in my mind, descriptions and
pictures of what happened to Charlie Kirk when he was shot,
and the trauma that it creates with people is something
(13:04):
that is hard to once it's in your head, it's
hard to get it out of your head, and that's
what you want to focus on here, I think.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Right exactly, Doug. Public violence and recent tragedy, including the
deaths of Charlie Kirk and Irena Zurutsky, have left many
shaken by what they have seen. These efforts may include shock, fear,
hyper vigilance, difficulties sleeping, and a mental replaying of the images.
(13:37):
While some people's emotions stabilize and symptoms fade over time, Doug,
others may experience intrusive thoughts, nightmares, or emotional detachment in
the following weeks. Some coping mechanisms include grounding techniques like
deep breathing, writing down thoughts and feelings, and talking with
(13:59):
trust people. Getting adequate sleep, exercising, and eating healthy foods
can also be beneficial. What helps me other than not
watching it is Physical activity in particular, is known to
release tension from the body and calm the nervous system.
(14:20):
But persistent insomnia, panic attacks, irritability that strains relationships, or
withdrawal from daily life are signs that the stress response
has gone beyond the normal range. Please get professional help
if you are unable to function at work, school, or home.
(14:41):
And I know several that have been affected by this,
and this has been my recommendation. I personally remember as
a little boy watching the assassination of President Kennedy for
my whole life. I can't get those images out of
my mind. And as much as I've discussed Charlie kirk
his loss, I have tried myself to not watch the videos.
(15:05):
And that doesn't mean that his death has great meaning
to me.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Or it doesn't have great men. Yeah, I understand what
you're saying.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I don't do that anymore. I don't look at any
of the videos.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Great meaning to me.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, I don't have any interest, frankly, in looking at
videos of this kind of stuff or the blow you know,
somebody's But it's like going to a movie. I remember
seeing a trailer for a movie a war in the
Middle East, and that showed a guy who's body being
(15:40):
blown in half. I don't want to see that. I
don't find that necessary. It, sirves Hell isn't entertaining. So
what do you want to want?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
What is there about your nature?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I guess would be the question mark that makes you
want to look at stuff like that. I suppose we
could dig really into the culture of horror movies in general,
and all the blood and guts and things that people see.
I think that's the psychological there's you know, the people
that would do the kinds of stuff that we're talking about.
To guys like Charlie Kirk and that woman on the
(16:10):
on the train, they got the way the guy just
killed her.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
What the hell is it? I don't get it, Frankly,
don't get it at all.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Okay, all right, let's get off of that and get
on to some other important information from doctor Ken. In
a matter of moments here on Good Day Health, I'm
Doug Stephan and she's not.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
She could be Elizabeth Miller. However, as a matter of fact,
she is.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Elizabeth Miller is one of the great reasons for going
to toploss dot Com and engaging in the work of
caltron getting that weight off the natural way.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Caltron is different than everything else out there because it's
really good for you. It's actually drug free, stimulant free,
so it's good for you. We've been helping customers since
nineteen ninety seven. It's that's up for two hundred thousand
happy customers, so I know we've just helped people all
over the United States, Loz White. So if you go
to toploss dot com, you'll say the counter and sell
right there. But we do also, like Dougs had, put
(17:03):
together custom packages. Usually they're available by email or our
Facebook page, or you can call us and we'll put
together something custom for you that will also have some
special pricing on there. And then of course Doug has
a promo code. If you use the promo code Doug,
that's going to say bey on shipping on all orders.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Elizabeth Miller from the folks at calder Tren.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Thanks Elizabeth.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Back with doctor Ken Cronhaus Doug Stephan. I count him
as one of my great friends for lots of different reasons.
You don't have to be friends with him, but you
certainly can gain from having access to his knowledge and
the way he handles patients. And you can do that
through a visit to Lake Cardiology, whether in person or
the old telemedicine. I think you and I are having
(17:43):
a telemedicine conversation later on today. Matter of fact, three
five two we are seven three five fourteen hundred. That's
how you get to late Cardiology and doctor Ken three
five two seven three five one four Oh all right,
We talk a lot of about vitamin B three.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
We talk a lot.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
About vitamins and supplements and difference between all natural vitamins
and the things that are not natural, basically the synthetic stuff.
We don't have much use for that sort of thing.
Vitamin B three is important, The B vitamins are very important,
a lot of research on that. We talk about that frequently.
(18:23):
This focus is on fatty liver disease. So let's first
describe what fatty liver disease is.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Can huh, Well, it's.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
A problem that's becoming all too common, and it's exactly
what you said. It's when you see fat in the
liver and it interferes often but not always, with the
function of the liver. And that's when it becomes very important.
And it often is from just being two obese, and
with the obesity epidemic we see a lot of this.
(18:54):
It's not always, but that is often a cause, and
it will often interfere with function of liver and can
be a very serious issue, very difficult to treat. But
there's some hope here, and I'm sure that most people
listening to this knows somebody who deals with this. This
was published this week in the medical journal Metabolism, Clinical
(19:14):
and Experimental and Doug researchers have identified micro rna DASH
ninety three as a genetic driver of fatty liver disease,
and they discovered that vitamin B three, which you love
is niasin, can effectively suppress it. This breakthrough, Doug suggests
that a common, affordable vitamin could be a new treatment
(19:38):
for millions of people with this condition.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
So niasin and vitamin B three are synonymous?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Is that it correct? Okay?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
So I remember myself and don't treat yourself with niosin.
But definitely, if you're dealing with fatty liver, talk to
your liver specialist about this. Get advice, but don't do
it yourself. You can make it worse by self treating
with niosin.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
All right, So when you say make it worse, what
does that mean? Spread that out a little bit, will you?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Well?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
It's Niosin is a drug at the level, and you
have to dose it appropriately because too much of it
can be harmful to the.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Liver, right, all right, But then fatty liver it has to.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Be individual It has to be individualized. Just like you
don't want to pull your own teeth. You don't want
to treat your own liver disease with niosin.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Okay, So if we need be we need to be vitamins.
How do we know which one is rich? Is veteramin
B two, there's vitamin B three, there's veterin B B
twelve and some other variants.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
How are they all related? Why they call B vitamins?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Just just take a good multi vitamin and don't and
don't worry about the weeds, and you'll be doing fine.
And just get you know, go to the doctor, get
your blood check once a year and they'll they'll fit.
Most of us are doing fine if we eat a
healthy diet, take a multivitamin each each day. The multivitamins
have more than what we need. Fortunately, they're water soluble.
(21:12):
If you take too much, you'll just excrete them for
the bees, not for all of them. Like the d's.
There are many vitamins. The a's you don't want to
take too much, but bees are water soluble, you'll get
rid of them. Just take a good multivite, eat a
healthy diet, and just you know, once a year, get
your blood checked by your doctor. At least you know
that once a year check and you can easily figure
(21:34):
out if there's a bite vitamin B deficiency, which most
of us don't have, but it can be easily picked up.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Well.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
The problem is that a lot of people don't have
a yearly exam, they don't get the blood work that
we were talking about earlier, and so under the circumstances.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
That they're not going to be able to, they're not
going to be able to they're not going to be
able to help themselves under the circumstances.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
No, yeah, it's so important to even you know, I
haven't got insurance.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I can't afford to do it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
You can't afford not to do it.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
It's moronic.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I would say that Ken wouldn't use that word, but
I believe it is completely maronic for people to spend
money for things that aren't necessarily.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I guess it depends on what you want.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
You want to live a long, healthy, happy life. You
have friends, you have relatives, you've got children, and you
want to spend as much time with them as possible.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Then you need to protect and.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Guard your body and your health. If you don't care,
you don't give a rats. But then this is all
not for you. This stuff is aimed the material that
can research is what we talk about here on Good
Day Health is all aimed at you living a happy,
healthier life and trying to get to the.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Root of a problem before they really become problems.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
And that's perfectly that's a fine example of it, the
discussion of fatty liver disease DOUG.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
When I'm talking about it's not expensive sophisticated care. This
is meager, very inexpensive, and any kind of health anybody
gets where they're financially strapped, this would cover. So this
is a minimal expense in terms of what we're talking
about right now.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Right exactly. Well, that's what I'm saying. You know, you
spend money to.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Buy a bottle of alcohol, or.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
You spend money for something that is not necessary and
in fact may be bad for you.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
This is good for you. Good information. Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Now there's a focus on what's called food noise, and
this could come from social media, from advertising. Who knows
how this stuff has passed around, But there's a lot
of food and I'm going to talk about something specific
with regard to this after you give us the food
(23:47):
sort of like the food news reduction, food noise reduction act.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Well. This is interesting though, because food noise, the way
I'm using it, is actually our own bodies talking to us.
And this comes out of the European Association for the
Study of Diabetes this week that people taking semeglatide and
that's one of these new weight loss drugs, And this
is probably a class effect of these new weight loss drugs.
(24:17):
People taking them experience a reduction in food noise, which
refers to intrusive thoughts about food. This provides a behavioral
explanation for how the drug aids in weight loss beyond
just its metabolic effects. So we all know, those of
us who deal with weight issues, our body keeps reminding
(24:39):
us with chattering noise about food. And apparently this new
class of drugs, the GLP one agonists, actually interfere with
that rumble inside our bodies with regards to food, helping
us suppress it and helping us lose weight.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
All Right, So, in a moment, I want to talk
about other sorts of food noise. The food noise you're
talking about is one aspect. There's another thing that I
classify as food noise. First, let's talk about the most
successful person on the Caldron program. This week, lady that
went from one hundred and fifty eight pounds to one
(25:17):
hundred and forty six pounds. She never measured herself because
she didn't want to know how big she was, but
she knows now she's lost inches and her story is
the latest to be told at toploss dot com, which
is the website for Caldron. There are other people who
have stories that are a lot larger, if you will,
than that one hundred and fifty eight to one hundred
and forty six twelve pounds didn't happen overnight, happened over
(25:40):
about three months. But then there are those who have
lost thirty pounds, sixty pounds, ninety pounds, and it's all
about sticking to the program with America's number one way to.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Lose weight and keep it off.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
So I invite you to go to toploss dot com and
check out this week's success story. Every week, there's a
different one right now. If you're interested in what the
best value en Calendrin is. You buy three, you get
two free, plus you get twenty dollars off on the bundle,

use it on your orders and you'll be very happy
at nighttime. Take the four capsules in bingo.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
You're on your way to success.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Back with doctor Ken, I want to revisit for a
moment our discussion. We almost every week have a discussion
about three or four things, including Alzheimer's and connections to dementia,
that sort of thing. And we were talking about insomnia
and dementia. There's another connection when it comes to Alzheimers.
We were talking about blood detection. So the other important
(26:41):
thing to learn this week is about a focus on
your diet and what that does, what you're eating, how
that affects Alzheimer's symptoms.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Can Yes.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
The third important breakthrough this week about Alzheimer's was published
this week in sid Tech Daily DOUG that a high
fiber diet appears to ease Alzheimer's symptoms by calming the
gut brain axis. The high fiber diet was found to
reduce Alzheimer's related frailty, including tremors. This study adds to
(27:16):
the growing body of research DOUG on the connection between
diet and neurodegenerative diseases.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Wow, all right, I want to go back to the
food noise and take a spin around the block with
my focus on what kind of food noise I get
concerned about. And that has to do with something that
was prominent this week because of the Health and Human
Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior making it a focus
(27:48):
talking about the use of whole milk and how decades
ago the government made whole milk the enemy and now
a lot of people who are fitness folk are on
board with what Kennedy is saying that it was a mistake.
This had to do with the war unsaturated fats and
(28:10):
how the nutrition so called experts said, well, we better
get rid of whole milk because that's a saturated fat.
And you know, is it linked to heart disease? Is
there better guidance? Its necessary because now the new findings
suggest and you see pictures of Kennedy everywhere having ice
cream and drinking milk, so milk and yogurt and cheese
(28:35):
and that sort of thing. It is not, according to him,
going to is it causal? I'm going to ask you
as a cardiologist, he says, it's not necessarily causal when
it comes to the risk of cardiovascu of the disease.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
What say you, Well, my.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Nurse mother grew me up on whole milk, and I
think what RFK was referring to was especially in children,
DOUG not taking the fat out of the milk for
our children, putting it in the schools, and especially the
fat that's naturally found in whole milk helps kids to
(29:15):
absorb a lot of the vitamins that they need as
they're growing. So I think in the young growing population,
using whole milk is a good idea RFK is introducing. Well,
I think you have again you have to individualize medicine,
and I think where you have to start thinking about
it as people get older into middle age and their
(29:38):
risk of heart disease, then it may become a factor
for some depending on their risk profile for heart disease.
And I don't think saturated fat is off rfk's radar
as a way of protecting some from the number one
killer heart attacks the number one disablers strokes. So again
(30:01):
I think what RFK is addressing a certain population and
urging that especially in the schools, we put back whole
milk and take away skim milk. That this was not
well thought out, and I have to agree with RFK.
For the youngsters, this is.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
True there's a Harvard study that suggests that the science
is what they call unsettled when it comes to dietary
guidelines and the milk does your body good.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
So I find that interesting.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
All right, So there's the answer to that question before
we get asked the question. But up next questions for
doctor Ken Crownhouse. Here we are back on Good day health.
So if somebody asks you, I think you were trying
to clarify it for a certain age population, would you
(30:50):
agree that milk does your body good no matter what
your age or would you not agree with that?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
I think in modern I'm a milk drinker, Doug, I
like as I think as well. That's for another show.
We don't have enough time. But as a as a
source of protein, it's excellent. But I again, it depending
on the age and history and risk profile of the patient.
(31:16):
You know, that is where I would individualize, you know,
whether they should be drinking whole or reduced saturated fat milk.
And it's just individualized. But for the children, you know,
it's a good idea to put back whole milk into
the schools.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Right, we got milk wrong?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
And yeah, I know you don't like talking about things
like raw milk because it goes against what you were
taught in school. I'm a better professor on that than
the guys in school because I actually lived it and
I know what it's all about. So I resist to
the point of resenting somebody telling me how bad raw
milk is. It's not about raw milk and general, it's
about how it's processed.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Is how it's milk. The cow has treated all of
that stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
So the general generic milk is bad for you is
bunk them. It's actually, frankly a lie. So I get
very turned up and on on that. But that's not
as you said. That could be another discussion for another day.
Let's get to the next question about drug resistant fungus
or fungi. You know, fungus has all kinds of forms,
(32:19):
where mushrooms are a fungus, some we can eat and
some we can't, and some people have toe fungus, and
there's other funguses. So how do we get rid of them?
I guess is the question that's being asked here.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Yeah, the way to get rid of it is very
early detection. Doug may be a little scary going to
the hospital in Europe these days, Doug, this is out
of the British Medical Journal just this week. The drug
resistant fungus Candida orus is now considered endemic in Europe
and is spreading rapidly. Patients who have been hospitalized in
a healthcare facility a long time and have lines and
(32:55):
tubes that go into their bodies such as breathing tubes,
feeding tubes and central as catheters seem to be at
highest risk. And again the spread can be contained by
early detection and also these lines that are in your body,
making sure that the healthcare providers keep them in when
they're needed, but get them out as soon as they're not.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
All right.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Here's a question about whether we should have permanent standard
time or not and what it does medically. How would
abolishing daylight saving time benefit one's health DOUG.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences had a
publication just this week about this question, and what they
conclude is that switching to permanent standard time would prevent
about three hundred thousand cases of stroke per year and
result in two point six million fewer people with obesity.
This study estimated how different national time policies DUG might
(33:50):
affect American Circadian rhythms the bodies innate clock that regulates
many physiological processes. Here's the key, Doug. You generally need
more morning light and less evening light to keep well
synchronized to a twenty four hour day. An out of
sync circadian cycle has been linked with many different poor
(34:12):
health outcomes. The more light exposure you get at the
wrong times, the weaker the circadian clock. All of these
things that are downstream, for example, your immune system, your
energy do not match up quite as well with a
weaker circadian clock.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Right, okay, here's a question about things you were talking about.
Blood tests et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, and things
that we should know about the biomarkers. Most people understand
the glue close say it again, the glucose level and
the HDL cholesterol cholesterol means, but they're understand what.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Alt is and mc HC. Do we need to know
what that is?
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Not?
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Really? I mean, well, those are various things. One is
a liver test alt one of the four especially important
liver tests, alkin fossil taste. And then the other one
is just on your CBC or complete blood count, the
size shape of your red blood cell, not so important.
(35:16):
Just know you're hemoglobe and you're a madecrit that you're
not in kneemic. Your red blood cell count and you're
getting down into the subweeds and if those are normal,
don't worry about it. If they're abnormal, then talk to
the doctor and the whole story about your blood red cell.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Down all right, Get those blood tests, get your physical
every year. Please, that's most important thing you can do
for yourself other than treat the daily aches and pains.
