These SCFAs play a crucial role in maintaining gut health by providing energy for beneficial bacteria,sustaining the gut barrier that prevents leaky gut and certain autoimmune conditions and generally reducing inflammation. This study suggests that increasing gut butyrate availability can improve BP.This show aired Friday, August 29, 2025 on KDAR 98.3 FM.

Young People Lead New Wave of Americans Unaware of Their Hypertension | MedPage TodayResults from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles, spanning the years 2013 to 2023, showed a significant proportion of adults having hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol, continued to self-report being unaware and never diagnosed.Proton Pump Inhibitor Use and Incident Hypertension in Menopausal Women | Journal of the American Heart AssociationJournal of the American Heart Association June 2025.Prilosec/Omeprazole, Nexium, Prevacid, Protonix. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the treatment of choice for conditions such as esophagitis and peptic ulcer disease, and they are among the most prescribed medications in the United States. In 2016, one of the PPIs was dispensed more than 70 million times in the United States.Inappropriate PPI use either due to prolonged use or lacking an appropriate indication has been linked with several adverse events such as bone fractures, pneumonia, and kidney damage, especially in older people. Also Osteoporosis, weakened immune systems, higher risk of gut infections and dysbiosis, protein deficiency and deficiencies of B12, iron, magnesium, and other minerals.Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent vasodilator that plays a critical role in blood pressure (BP) regulation.7 Recent studies have shown the importance of the nitrate–nitrite–NO pathway in the production of NO. The conversion of nitrite to NO in the stomach is dependent on the presence of gastric acid.8 PPIs are highly effective in suppressing gastric acid secretion and are hypothesized to affect NO production from nitrate/nitrites.This show aired Friday, August 8, 2025 on KDAR 98.3 FM.

Risk of Neurologic Disorder Rises for People Who Live Near Golf Courses | MedPage TodayParkinson'sLiving within 1 mile of a golf course was associated with more than double the odds of developing Parkinson's disease compared with living more than 6 miles away, found researchers led by Brittany Krzyzanowski, PhD, of the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, reported in JAMA Network Open. May 2025. This was a study done in Minnesota involving 419 Parkinson's cases and 5,113 controls (median age was 72) from 1991 to 2015.

Key risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease are linked to cognitive function as early as ages 24–44, highlighting the need for early prevention in the US.https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanam/article/PIIS2667-193X(25)00097-3/fulltextCreatine is a compound that comes from three amino acids. Creatine is found mostly in your body's muscles as well as in the brain. Most people get creatine through seafood and red meat — though at levels far below those found in synthetically made creatine supplements. The body's liver, pancreas and kidneys also can make about 1 gram of creatine per day.Your body stores creatine as phosphocreatine primarily in your muscles, where it's used for energy. As a result, people take creatine orally to improve athletic performance and increase muscle mass.People also use oral creatine to treat certain brain disorders, neuromuscular conditions, congestive heart failure and other conditionsProper hydration is crucial when using creatine to minimize the risk of dehydration and muscle cramps. https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements-creatine/art-20347591This show aired Friday June 27th on KDAR 98.3 FM.

A growing collection of evidence supports that creatine supplementation may improve health as individuals age, by lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels, reducing fat accumulation in the liver, reducing homocysteine levels, serving as an antioxidant, enhancing glycemic control, slowing tumor growth in some types of cancers; increasing strength and/or muscle mass; minimizing bone loss; improving functional capacity in patients with fibromyalgia; positively influencing cognitive function; and in some instances, serving as an anti-depressant.This show aired Friday, June 20th, on KDAR 98.3 FM.

Modern Medicine is always your best option to save your life in a crisis. If you need hospitalization, have an acute infection and need antibiotics, have a major injury or other condition that requires surgery, modern medicine could save your life.But it also fails to help far too many people. People who have been to a dozen doctors or more and been told there's nothing wrong with them, and yet they're still suffering. Modern medicine does a very poor job of preventing and reversing chronic conditions like diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, hypothyroidism, sub-clinical anemia, and many other conditions involving nutrient deficiencies that impair your body's ability to heal itself.Functional medicine means using standard diagnostic tests to identify earlier signs of stress on your body so that you can heal yourself, so that you can reverse disease and not become dependent on pharmaceuticals or rather invasive medical treatments for the rest of your life.This show aired on Friday May 23, 2025, on KDAR 98.3 FM.

Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Semaglutide, Tirzepatide - these drugs are everywhere in the media. They have helped a lot of people lose weight. My job is usually in involves helping people who want to lose weight and achieve other health goals without taking drugs. But emerging research shows that these drugs have many benefits in addition to weight loss... They also improve heart health--By improving cardiac output, muscle contractility, and blood flow to the heart and reducing the size of arterial plaques. Their main function is to increase insulin production, delay sugar release from the liver, and delay emptying of the stomach so that you feel full. But new evidence also shows that they may have a protective effect on nerves, and increase your feeling of fullness by direct action on the brain, independent of all the effects on the digestive tract. New complementary protocols are also available which can help prevent the muscle loss that accompanies so many diets.I’ve just attended an illuminating symposium which included a compelling module on the latest research into these weight loss medications and how to use them at lower doses, combined with healthy, functional medicine and lifestyle interventions, so that people who really need them can reverse diabetes, and/or lose the weight they’ve never been able to lose with other methods, and then keep it off.This episode aired on Friday, March 21, 2025 on KDAR 98.3 FM.

Synergistic toxicity is when the combined effective multiple chemicals is more harmful than the sum of the effects of each chemical alone. This can be dangerous because its chemical is designed to work on its own and all of the testing that's done is on one chemical at a time.These toxins can be damaging to the liver, cause mitochondrial damage, cause oxidative stress, and drive inflammatory responses.CASE STUDY: Man in his 60s with low energy, sleep problems.
