Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   This episode is about early data of my personal continous glucose monitor.  These sensors can be purchased without a prescription and are used to monitor the glucose in the interstitial fluid. Translated there is a mild delay from the blood to the cell fluids where the glucose is monitored and then uploaded to an App on your smartphone.   Diabetes and glucose intolerance are the biggest risk factors for cardiovascular disease.  Often, people assume that their if glucose is normal fasting, then they are ok.  The problem is that insulin resistence occurs much sooner and still carries the risk of chronic insulin elevations.  Lifestyle changes can be used to prevent frank diabetes or help one achieve remission.  Today I will share with you some of my readings.  If you would like help decreasing your risk or reversing lifestyle diseases, check out our website at doctordulaney.com Email me at [email protected] Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney. discount code: cleanwaterforsophie Thanks for listing. 

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   This episode will highlight my latest ultra at Croom's Fool run where I completed 35 miles/50K.  The original goal was 50 miles but the day went a little different.  Nevertheless, I finished feeling well and continue to learn about low carbohydrate fueling and ultra distance events.  I will also share a story of doubt that I observed.  The story we tell ourselves can seem benign and even humble, but it is sometimes setting us up for failure.  We have 70,000 thoughts per day and about 80% are negative according to research.  95% are repetitive.  That means we keep telling ourselves negative things quite often.  That would easily be labeled as "bad parenting" today but it seems perfectly ok to subject ourselves to it.  I see similar things in the medical community.  Providers are not willing to see challenging information as learning or keep an open mind to change.  The "practice of medicine" is just that.  Practice and life long learning.  We are not inferior or wrong if we change our minds.  It is evolution of learning.   If you would like to learn more about nutrition and health span, check out our website at doctordulaney.com We are happy to answer questions and meet you where you are.  Email me at [email protected]  Thanks for listening.  Cookbook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1733967702/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_2MQAN70986E6XJ28MHDX?linkCode=ml1&tag=httpswwwdocto-20&linkId=c49a2feed4f53850090dd5f665b798ee ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/.powerful-plates-ebook/?mc_cid-cc24587 Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney discount code: cleanwaterforsophie

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Today's episode is my story of making a quit for my granddaughter , and how it was not in my comfort zone.  I learned to quilt from watching my grandmother.  Unfortunately, that was 50 plus years ago.  She made quilts for her family by hand with fabric from old clothes.  She allowed me to quilt with her using black thread so it could be easily seen and removed when I went home at night.  I remember the care and hard work that went into making the quilts and how they warm and cozy they felt on a cold night.   Quilting is piecing together fabrics from various sources.  The fabrics are cut into patterns and sewn together.  They are then attached to a batting layer that provides depth and warmth.  The third layer is a backing. The quilting process is actually the stitching together of the three layers in various patterns depending on the complexity.  You can sew by hand or with a machine or a combination.  I did mine with a standard sewing machine.  I have no training, just memories and video tutorials.  It is the memories that are most important.  The gift of time poured into a project to share with someone else.  It lasts.  It requires mindfulness and dedication to detail.  It is art shared and is raw.  To me it is a symbol of life weaved piece by piece.  Some of it smooth, other parts uneven and challenging.  I hope it is a sense of peace and love that is passed from one person to another.  For me it was a learning experience of patience, mindfulness and love.  If that is not wellness, then I don't know what is. Enjoy my quilt story and smile.  Email me at [email protected] Website: doctordulaney.com Thanks for listening.   

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Cardiovascular risk factors include hypertension, weight, hyperlipidemia, smoking and a sedentary lifestyle.  These are things you can change without a calcium score or genetic testing.  They benefit everyone at every age.  The problem is that they often require change and insight.  That change requires vision and belief over current circumstances, excuses or position.  It is March and anything is possible if you believe and have vision.  Let me help you focus on your vision of health instead of your current position.  Email me at [email protected] Thank you for listening.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Don't fall off your exercise ball but we are going to talk low carb and keto! Last week I completed the Long Play 33 with 35 miles- bonus miles as Andy, the race director, would say.  Based on a recently published study on nutrition during endurance events, I decided to decrease my glucose intake and add Ketone IQ shots to the mix.   I have a history of bonking in the later parts of a race.  Sometimes, it is more like the early part.  My stomach no longer accepts gels, I feel sluggish, and have assumed it was my mental attitude and the need for more fuel.   I figured I was dehydrated leading to a decrease in blood to the gut and inability to digest my intake resulting muscle glycogen depletion.  As soon as I started taking gels, I became dependent on them.  Once, I could not tolerate them, I was headed for low energy and the need to walk or quit.   My new hypothesis is that it is my brain's demand for fuel and my bloodstream dip in glucose that causes the bonk.  Wild swings in glucose and insulin followed by a decrease in my ability to burn fat as fuel.  So I tried a few new things this race and had a pleasant surprise.  I had another pleasant surprise with my follow up lipid and DHA levels.  Certainly, a tell all episode.   Thanks for listening.  Website: doctordulaney.com Email me at [email protected] Cookbook: amzn.to/4onHVe4 Ebook: doctordulaney.com/.powerful-plates-ebook/?mc_cid-cc24587 Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney discount code: cleanwaterforsophie https://academic.oup.com/edrv/article/47/2/191/8432248    

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  It is with sorrow that I pay tribute to Jeff Galloway with a replay of a 2020 episode that we did together.  Jeff passed away this week from complication of a hemorrhagic stroke.   Some people may say that running didn't prolong Jeff Galloway's life or even that running may have made him die earlier.  I would say that Jeff had a wonderful lifespan lifting others up both spiritually and health-wise through his lessons on the run-walk method of distance running.  A life well lived and shared.  I believe the longevity and medical community get caught up  more  with time than meaning or quality.  We will all be better if we can lift others up and be a blessing to others for the time we have on this earth.  Rest in peace my fellow runner.  Thank you for listening.   Website: doctordulaney.com Email with questions at [email protected] Cookbook: amzn.to/4onHVe4 Water Distillers: mypurewater.come?sld-jdulaney  discount code: cleanwaterforsophie

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Lp(a) is a genetic marker associated with increased cardiovascular events.  A positive family history is also associated with increase risk.  But how much risk and over what time period.  Families share the same cultures, living environment and often food choices but not always.  Genes don't act alone.  They need the right stimulus or environment to become activated.   There is no one that knows your story better than you.  Yet, one cannot predict their own future with any degree of certainty.  The story always unfolds a little different.  To think a physician can predict ones future is also a bit of a long shot.  Heart disease is the number one killer in America with cancer being number two.  The odds are pretty high that one of those illnesses may cross your door.  The question is which and when.  I believe we are in control of our destiny more than our genes or family history.   How heart disease or other illnesses affect our lives is guided by lifestyle choices and beliefs.  Being healthy is a choice.  Being healthy is a choice.  You just need to BELIEVE.  To understand more take a listen.  Thank you as always.  If you would like help attaining your health goals, check out our website at doctordulaney.com Email me at [email protected] Lp(a) and risk of cardiovascular disease: https://cdn.jamanetwork.com/ama/content_public/journal/cardiology/0/hoi250076f3_1766513579.95844.png?Expires=1773391267&Signature=UtIeIN2lwyYBtOwRfwxf4FeK-dokS3u3bhcUEL9u3cLdpTWBlp9bQyjL0jc-Gnhz8qdagEMNIpkhSHhx2TwJ8HUHlZ6pQtWEKYAiLtGzMz3vNtRXmRtfXHAba~LXFvT3TMM6smZluqippWMYrBMnojWe1mil6BuLUPyHHQLpliLEctMqPzOJkJnWj5lYil~QHmJHE3Rl7VNU5WMPdC79dD66s9DUl-8--pUiuREuAcAZcj74gOzkPHQekYYynHBXuNVjhzGNe34Z4z21gGE4siE46V~I~ycerWXGG1eVom3xTtxneIlxpDQ2J6HdY3t6F2J9jW3cc4241WRw52NyJA__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIE5G5CRDK6RD3PGA Plant based wellness cookbook: amzn.to/4onHVe4 Water distillers: mypurewater.come?sld-jdulaney.  discount code: cleanwaterforsophie Believe: Dr Kevin Elko -sports psychologist 

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Do this, no, do that.  Coffee is bad.  Coffee is good.  Do these three things.  Take these medications or else.  It is no wonder that people just turn a blind ear and do nothing.  When you finally have hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, or dementia, the treatments are aimed only at the symptoms instead of the root cause.  When it comes to pain, people may think that is not such a bad thing because we do have pain medications that work well for short periods of time then cause havoc with side effects, tolerances and addiction.  The best plan of action is to stay healthy through sunlight, diet, and exercise.  I am going to address each of these today and probably every podcast because the list is endless on how you can keep yourself healthy.  In today's episode:  Hormone replacement for women: stay away, I'll tell you why Congestive heart failure: it is not a death sentence and does not have to be treated with a pharmacy of expensive medications. Dementia: prevent it through lifestyle changes now.  Diet matters and plants alone may not do the job.   Exercise: move all the ways and often.  I'll tell you more. Thank your for listening.  If you want help implementing these changes, check out our website at doctordulaney.com Email me at [email protected] Pharmedout: https://sites.google.com/georgetown.edu/pharmedout#h.qf846eik9aky Heat failure therapy study: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/article-abstract/2844102 Brain atrophy and omega 3 fatty acids: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25877495/ Cookbook: amzn.to/4onHVe4 Water distillers: mypurewater.come?sld-jdulaney.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   Long Haul Ultra marathon is a 100 mile race at Colt Creek State Park in Florida.  It consists of 6 loops of 16.8 miles.  The runner comes back to the start at each of the loop were there is an open aid station or individual crew access.  Out on the course, there are 3 other times where there are aid stations for snacks and fluids.   The first loop went well but things deteriorated.  What happens when the best laid plans fail? This is the story of Long Haul.  Why do we have to learn the same lessons with a little twist over and over?  Diet and nutrition all sound so simple on paper.  Eat a plant based diet and all will be well.  That works until the questions arise and you find yourself confused with less than perfect options.  One way out is to give up the fight, the other is to learn and grow from mistakes I will share my frustrations, disappointment and growth from this experience.  I will also leave you with some unknowns.   Thanks for listening, For information about our wellness practice: doctordulaney.com Email questions to [email protected] Cookbook: amzn.to/4onHVe4 EBook: doctordulaney.com/.powerful-plates-ebook/?mc_cid-cc24587 Water distillers: mypurewater.come?sld-jdulaney discount code: cleanwaterforsophie

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Happy, Healthy New Year.   How much does it cost to live forever.  There are people out there claiming they can do it for $4 a day all the way to 2 million dollars per year.  But the cost could be way more than dollars.  Some of these folks limit their human interaction to the point of isolation.  Just being plant based is a ticket to the outliers club and can be quite limiting.  Perhaps there is a compromise. I believe that compromise is health span.  What can you do to stay out of the medical establishment  but not compromise being in longevity jail?   I believe it costs very little.  You can go a long way obtaining your food from the grocery store, getting sunlight daily, and exercising in a way to keep strong and cardio fit without fancy equipment, tests or supplements.   The big question is what are you willing to commit to in 2026.  If you would like to shrink your medicine cabinet, waste line and supplement bill, check out our website at doctordulaney.com Email me with questions at [email protected] Cookbook: amzn.to/4onHVe4 EBook: doctordulaney.com/.powerful-plantes-ebook/?mc_cid-cc24587ac Water distillers: mypurewater.come?sld-jdulaney discount code: cleanwaterforsophie

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   Lessons that I have learned this year.   Lessons from coaches, my patients, and my practice.   You do not know your full potential until you try.  The beauty is that we get to right our own story.  Our health is much the same.  We get to write that story. It is not a lab marker or a gene.  It is a multitude of factors many of which we control.   How will I apply these lessons: I have some unfinished racing to do.  I have changed some of my macronutrients.  I will change my fueling strategy.   The sun plays a vital role in our health.  Find out how you can improve your health using the sun and the outdoors.  Thank you for listening.  Happy Healthy New Year!

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. The Daytona 50 mile race is in the books.  It was my first road ultramarathon, and I continue to learn a little something at each race.  I believe the learning points can be applied to any new task or long term goal.   1. Break a goal down into small parts.  This seems obvious but the trick is staying in the small part and not looking into the daunting future.  2. Have a strategy for each segment before the segment begins and follow the plan.  Variables come up, there is always the unknown, but a strategy is a must for a baseline. 3. What is your time frame? Can you stick to it? Have you ever started a trip without a time plan?  The progress is not always what you want.  4. Stiffness is a real concern with sitting during an ultramarathon.  However, you can get started again.  5. Nutrition is best handled without relying on an aid station for solid foods for the most part. Its is not a buffet.  6. Salty britches is a must for blister prevention.  I hope you enjoy my story. Thanks for listening.  Are marathons bad for your heart?  I will review a study that looks at imaging and blood test.  Bottom line is symptoms matter when it comes to testing accuracy.  Want to get healthier with nutrition and exercise?

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Move it or loose it for sure but how should be move and how often.  I made some observations at this year's Turkey trot that I think you might find helpful.  Vitamin D is not just about bones but your immune system, your heart, and many other things.  The sun is the best source because there are so many other mechanisms in the body fueled by the sun's photons.  However, getting adequate vitamin D is a must.  What about DHA.  Can we just rely on alpha linolenic acid from plants?   The question becomes live or thrive?  I believe we can do better with excellent DHA levels and I will discuss this during the podcast.  Email me: [email protected] Website to join my practice/ become a newsletter subscriber: doctordulaney.com Ebook: doctordulaney.com/.powerful-plates-ebook/?mc_cid=cc24587ac Cookbook: amzn.to/4onHVe4 Water distillers: mypurewater.com?sld-jdulaney. discount code: cleanwaterforsophie https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22570739/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK221706/ The Science of Running: Steve Magness https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.112.000030https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40465176/      

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  I am joined by my favorite little people today to talk all things Thanksgiving.  I give you a little recap of my latest learning experience during the Colt 45k this past weekend. I am grateful for all of you who continue to tune into the podcast after all these years.  It has been a pleasure to learn and share information with those interested in being as healthy as possible.  It is easy to loose sight of the simple gifts around us.  It was a very special moment to have my grandchildren on my lap during this podcast.  A simple conversation unscripted after a simple dinner of bean soup and cornbread.   Colt Creek 45K was also a simple gift of running in the woods in central Florida.  Even though our leaves don't change, there were beautiful purple and yellow wild flowers among fields of grass, pines and oaks.  I continue to learn with each race and increase my tool box for trouble shooting the unexpected.  Sometimes, in the moment, we are not sure what the next step might be.  The beauty I continue to learn is just to take that next step.  It all seems to work out.  Happy Thanksgiving.  Enjoy the simple gifts around you.
