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://bit.ly/4q9IXMR

The food you eat is key to your gut health — but it’s not the only important thing. Exercise, sleep and stress also play an important role. Watch the video above to find out how.

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.

We often think of prevention from the perspective of youth. If we had started eating healthy in our 20s, if we had built strong exercise habits in our 30s, if we had maintained a healthy weight in our 40s … While we can do a lot of good — or bad — when we’re young, we can still have an impac...

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.

Loose clothing. Living a healthier lifestyle helps you gain muscle, making it easier to zip up your jeans and button your jacket.Better focus. A healthier lifestyle is known for sharpening attention and concentration.

About 50% of my patients have high blood pressure. Hypertension can cause serious health problems; in fact, it’s dubbed “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.

Nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure, according to a report from the American Heart Association. High blood pressure stiffens the arteries, decreasing the flow of oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood to the heart, raising the risk of heart disease and dementia.

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.

Back pain is a major public health issue and one of the most frequent complaints to doctors. About16 million Americans struggle with chronic back pain and another nearly 65 million people report recent back pain.

Knee pain is a common problem in my practice. Knee pain is more than just pain; it’s associated with poorer quality of life, difficulty performing 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.

Knee pain can interfere with your ability to move, workout and perform daily activities. It also can affect your overall quality of life. While therapies are available to manage and treat knee pain, some of the most effective ways to address arthritis-related knee pain and stiffness are knee braces,...

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.

Do you take a multivitamin? What about supplements or protein powders? B12? Fish oil? Vitamin D?Most importantly: Does your doctor know what you take?For more than a century, scientists and doctors have known the role that certain substances play in our body and how those substances, which mostly co...
