Know Your Risk


“The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.” Thomas Edison

When it comes to our health most of us, including myself, tend to be more reactive than proactive. We try to, in a very general way, “eat right and exercise.” The health care paradigm up to now has been: We wait for symptoms of disease to show up or for something to be abnormal on our lab work to know our potential for long term illness. We are living in reaction mode, waiting for something to actually go wrong and then we hope that at that point it won’t be too late and that we can fix it.

Science promised us a day when we would be able to look at our genome, determine our risk and act accordingly. Fortunately, we now have access to safe reasonably inexpensive tools that can give us deep insight into our potential health problems. For many of our patients, a quick DNA cheek swab analyzed by the lab can provide a lot of information. Do I have a gene that suggests that insulin resistance and perhaps diabetes may be a problem for me in the future? Does my DNA show me to be at increased cardiovascular risk? Am I genetically predisposed to have thinning bones? Currently the technology that exists to give us information that can help us lead longer healthier lives.

Are you interested in taking the next step to possibly living longer, healthier and better? For more information please do call us in office at 860-589-1491.

Clean Up On Aisle 2025: The top three things that could improve your health in the New Year and beyond

  "NOPE! It’s not about new year, new you! I’m not talking about some airy fairy weird weight loss fad. This is about your health, and without your health not much else will be able to function. Your health is important! It’s true! You do have to put on your own mask first. But, where to start? What can you do that will be easy but will have a big benefit? The answer is: Clean up the toxins!" Toxins build up in our bodies over time through the air we breathe, the foods we eat and the stress we put our bodies under on a daily basis. The master filter in our body – the liver – works to cleanse the body of these toxins to keep them from disrupting the normal functions and operations of the body; essentially, keeping you healthy. Unfortunately, the overabundance of toxins our bodies build up, causes undue stress on our liver; and often the liver can’t keep up with the demand. It needs help to remove these toxins and keep you healthy. Think about it, If your filter isn't worki...

Drinking enough can help the weight?

  You have to stay hydrated. Here are 5 reasons you need to drink more water...or put in other words: 5 ways drinking water can improve your health!   1. Why do we need water anyway? 70-80% of the brain is water and ~75% of the body is water. We need water to aid in our metabolism, for digestion, to remove impurities / waste, for circulation / transport and for maintaining temperature! All these tend to work better when we are properly hydrated.   2. We are constantly losing water so we have to replace it We lose water through: breathing, sweating, as urine and bowel movements and some medications can speed up water loss. Alcoholic beverages increase fluid loss and so does hot weather.   3.

Not getting enough water may also affect the kidneys and can lead to: Kidney stones (stones can’t form in d...

How can we develop healthy habits?

Image
We all have habits, Some that aid us to our objectives we classify as good some that have negative consequences we call bad habits. We will go into the neurology of habits in a future exercise but today let's talk about some good habits that can help our bodies function at maximum efficiency.   Get in the habit: Good habits   Our bodies have rhythms and schedules. We make certain hormones in the mornings, others in the evenings. Our bodies respond to sunlight and even to the seasons. These regulate things like our sleep cycle, appetite, temperature, hormones, alertness, body performance, blood pressure and other things like that.   When these are disrupted we can see a number of health concerns including anxiety, depression, lack of energy, increased risk of obesity and even metabolic disorders like diabetes or thyroid issues, even the dreaded autoimmune disorders can show up! So how can we develop better habits and be happy about it? How can we do what's healthy for us w...
