Patriot Day FRI 9/11:  Today we reflect on the victims of 9/11 and their families.

For years, I’ve encouraged my patients to adopt the Mediterranean style of eating, which includes olive oil. However, olive oil consumption practically doubled between 1990 and 2021. In response, brands began offering olive oil at different price points and styles to keep up with demand. The overwhelming number of varieties has made it difficult to select the most appropriate olive oil for you. Here are some tips to make buying olive oil easier.

I have a few patients who have sworn off getting a flu shot because it didn’t work well for them. Sometimes, flu shots aren’t 100 percent effective, but they are considered the best method of flu prevention, lowering your risk of getting sick between 40 and 60 percent. Why don’t flu shots always prevent the flu? Here are three reasons.

I’ve talked to quite a few of my patients about following a plant-based diet, and of course, I’ll get pushback. Most people don’t want a diet limited to leafy green veggies and fruits. But you can embrace a plant-based diet that allows for some animal-based products, such as meat and dairy. Here’s how that works. 
https://www.mdvip.com/about-mdvip/blog/plant-based-nutrition-must-knows 


 

Many of my patients use home fragrances. I get it – candles, oils and plug-ins can make your house smell like fresh laundry, vanilla or even chocolate chip cookies. But are they safe? There are doubts. Fragrances can comprise thousands of chemicals, many of which are considered toxic. Here’s what you need to know.

Cold and flu season is around the corner. Now’s the time to strengthen your immune system. This means getting enough sleep, exercising, managing stress and consuming a healthful diet. Yes, supplements are an option, but I prefer that my patients get their nutrients from food. Here’s what you need to know.

You’ve probably heard the term cognitive impairment. Sadly, many of my patients are experiencing some cognitive impairment. You may not realize that there are different types of impairment. Here’s a brief overview. If you’re concerned, we can talk about it the next time you’re in the office.

Now that it’s September, we’ll start seeing less sunlight, which can trigger depression in some people. Many people in my practice struggle with fall or winter blues. If you’re one of them, here are five tips that can help.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death. As you’re probably aware, lifestyle plays a major role. A few of my patients wonder if a vegetarian diet can help maintain their heart health. Here’s what you need to know. 
https://www.mdvip.com/about-mdvip/blog/can-vegetarianism-help-maintain-your-heart-health 

 

If I am concerned about your heart health, I may check your myeloperoxidase (MPO) level – an enzyme that helps gauge your heart attack risk. But it turns out, this test is more valuable than we once thought. A recent study found that elevated MPO levels also suggest a risk for stroke and all-cause mortality. Here’s more on MPO. Let me know if you have any questions.

I often remind my patients that stress, poor nutrition, a sedentary lifestyle and dehydration can affect their gut health and ultimately, their overall health. The gut has many responsibilities, so when it’s not properly cared for, you may gain weight, catch viruses more often, or experience gastrointestinal issues. Learn how your gut health influences your overall health.

I always encourage my patients to wait before jumping onto the latest supplement bandwagon. Why? Supplements commonly fall out of favor once a substantial number of studies have been conducted and the results don’t support health claims. Here are a handful of common supplements whose claims didn’t pan out.   
https://www.mdvip.com/patients/resources/these-popular-supplements-may-not-have-desired-effect 

 

I discuss supplements such as vitamin D with my patients. I even have some patients who need iron and B12 supplements. But there are many other supplements on the market, and often patients forget to tell me they’re taking them. While some can be helpful, others can affect your health and medications. This is why you should discuss supplements with your doctor before taking them. Here’s a brief run-through of some commonly used supplements.     
https://www.mdvip.com/patients/resources/which-supplements-and-vitamins-do-you-actually-need 

 

Knee pain is a common problem in my practice. Knee pain is more than just pain; it’s associated with poor quality of life, inability to perform daily activities, fatigue, less exercise and potential weight gain. There are a handful of remedies that can ease knee pain; however, a recent study suggests that knee braces, water therapy and exercise work best. If you’re struggling with knee pain, let me know.   
https://www.mdvip.com/patients/resources/6-tips-ease-knee-arthritis-pain 

 

Back pain is a major public health problem, and a leading cause of disability. Fortunately, something as simple as walking is considered one of the best tactics for managing back pain. However, historically, it’s been difficult to suggest a specific number of walks per week and a specific walk length. Some of my back pain patients complain that they easily get tired, while others described having to stop suddenly. The good news is: Norwegian researchers think they’ve cracked the code. Here’s what you need to know.
https://www.mdvip.com/patients/resources/suffering-back-pain-try-walking-everyday 

 

About 50% of my patients have high blood pressure. Hypertension can cause serious health problems; in fact, it’s dubbed as “a silent killer”. The condition is largely lifestyle-related, which is why I recommend exercising, following the DASH diet, managing stress and getting good sleep to help manage it. But a recent study found that eating dark chocolate can help. Foods rich in flavan-3-ols, a plant pigment, such as cocoa, apples, grapes and tea can help lower blood pressure. Here’s what you need to know.   
https://www.mdvip.com/patients/resources/have-high-blood-pressure-chocolate-may-help-lower-it 


Losing weight is not easy. And sadly, there’s a good chance you won’t achieve your weight loss goals. In fact, it’s very common. Most of my patients who begin a diet don’t achieve their desired results and/or gain back the weight they lost. But their efforts aren’t in vain. Here are some benefits of following a weight management program, even if you didn’t achieve your weight loss goals.   
https://www.mdvip.com/patients/resources/didnt-reach-your-goal-weight-youre-healthier-trying  


I always encourage my patients to make a healthy diet, exercise and stress management part of their everyday lives. However, these wellness tactics are difficult and require a huge commitment. Fortunately, there are easier wellness tactics that are just as important and that you can take to help maintain your wellness beyond 60. Share your favorite personal wellness tactic.

When I talk to my patients about gut health, their first thoughts are about foods that can affect it. And they’re correct; the food you eat plays a huge role in your gut health. However, there are at least three other variables that also make a difference. Watch this video, featuring my colleague, Dr. Andrea Klemes, chief medical officer, MDVIP, to learn more.   
https://www.mdvip.com/about-mdvip/blog/3-things-besides-diet-can-improve-gut-health 


I want my patients to exercise, eat gut-friendly foods and get enough rest—yet they still struggle with gut health issues. Why? I think in some cases, it’s the medications they take. Do you take medications that upset your gut health?
https://www.mdvip.com/about-mdvip/blog/these-medications-mess-your-gut-biomes-0 


My patients complain to me that the high temperatures and stifling humidity of summer can make exercising outdoors much more difficult. It also raises the risk of a heat-related injury. But if outdoor workouts are your “thing”, here are five tips that I share with my patients that can make them a little safer.     
https://www.mdvip.com/about-mdvip/blog/5-tips-survive-hot-summer-workouts 


 

Many of my patients are struggling with gut health issues, so I talk to them about adding prebiotic and probiotic foods to their diets to help promote gut health. If you would like to learn more about foods that encourage gut health, watch this video.

Many of my patients want to lose weight quickly, and I can’t blame them. But rapid weight loss is difficult to sustain; in fact, it’s usually followed by rapid weight gain. Here’s more on the importance of losing weight gradually.

Kidney disease is rising in the U.S. Currently, 37 million Americans have chronic kidney disease, but 90% are unaware of it, as its signs and symptoms are unnoticeable in earlier stages of the disease. This is why I educate my patients on how they can lower their risk. Here’s what you need to know.

I talk a lot about heart disease to my patients because it’s been the leading cause of death in the U.S. for more than a century. Despite public health efforts to lower the rates, they continue rising. Here’s an overview of a recent report on heart disease, along with tips to help you keep your heart healthy.

Women have been using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for years to help ease menopause symptoms and lower their risk of menopause-linked conditions like osteoporosis, heart disease and dementia. However, I warn female patients with a personal or family history of heart disease or a hormone-dependent cancer to avoid HRT. As a result, some of these women try supplements, but that might not be the best alternative.

I warn my patients to limit their processed foods. Many brands use questionable ingredients like high-fructose corn syrup, excessive salt and added sugar. There’s also a wide range of preservatives used - some are deemed safe, while others should be avoided. Here are five preservatives that may have ties to cancer.

Practically half of my patients have high blood pressure. You’re probably aware that lowering your sodium intake can help lower your blood pressure.

I always encourage my patients to get between seven and nine hours of quality sleep each night. However, some of my patients like to burn the midnight oil and take naps when needed.

Most of my patients are not familiar with phthalates. These “everywhere chemicals” are found in many household and personal care items, and leach into the environment. They’re problematic because they can disrupt the endocrine system, damage the reproductive and neurological systems, and have been linked to obesity, asthma, allergies and some forms of cancer. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to lower your exposure to phthalates. Here’s what you need to know.

Psoriasis is a chronic disease in which T-cells of the immune system attack healthy skin cells. The number of psoriasis cases is rising; in fact, I’m seeing it in my own practice.

Rice is a staple in many countries, but it can be controversial in the U.S. because it’s so highly processed. But rice is also gluten-free and rich in vitamins, minerals and flavonoids.

Here are some tips I share with my patients on choosing healthier rice.
