Like most people, my patients are concerned about Alzheimer’s disease. When Alzheimer’s is diagnosed at an earlier stage, medications may be able to slow the progression; however, historically, Alzheimer’s diagnostic tests have been limited. There is good news. The FDA approved a blood test in 2025 that can help diagnose Alzheimer’s during earlier stages. If you think you may be experiencing Alzheimer’s symptoms, reach out to me. Here’s what you need to know about this new test.

For many years, the only way to positively diagnose Alzheimer’s disease was studying the brain after a patient had died. But medical advances like advanced scanning combined with memory tests and family history has made it easier for physicians to diagnose the disease.Now the Food and Drug Adminis...

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. https://bit.ly/4vx5t49

Many household and personal care products list the chemical compounds phthalates among their ingredients. Phthalates are often referred to as “everywhere chemicals,” because they’re commonly used and continuously leach into the environment.

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. That’s not a healthy approach. A recent study found that people who nap regularly have higher blood pressure. Here’s what you need to know.

American adults love napping. In fact, 80.7 percent of U.S. adults reported napping at least 10 minutes in the past three months, according to a survey conducted by the Sleep Foundation. Results from the same survey also showed that 30.5 percent of Americans nap more than twice a week.

Did you know that dietary potassium, found in fruits and vegetables like bananas, sweet potatoes and spinach can help control blood pressure? Read more on our blog.

Did you ever wonder why I always check your vitamin D levels and ask if you’re taking your supplements? This blog, written by my colleague, Dr. Andrea Klemes, MDVIP’s chief medical officer, explains the importance of the sunshine vitamin.

When it comes to keeping our bodies functioning, Vitamin D plays a starring role. Often called the "sunshine vitamin," it's one of the 13 essential vitamins our bodies need for growth and maintenance. Yet, despite its importance, more than 40 percent of American adults don't get enough of it. Here.....

Spring and summer allergies can be rough. It’s a very common complaint in my practice. And while medications help, I find it important for my patients to limit their exposure to allergens. Here are five tips to help you do that.

After a long winter, who doesn't love a beautiful spring day? The warm air, the gentle breezes, fragrant flowers, buzzing bees and ... the sound of sneezing, sniffling and coughing. Okay, nobody likes that last part, but there is relief if you suffer from seasonal allergies.

I consider good sleep a priority for my patients. Poor sleep has been associated with obesity, heart disease and diabetes for years. However, a recent study now links insomnia with dementia. Here’s what you need to know.

Sleep deprivation is associated with raising the risk of numerous health conditions. Now, a study recently published suggested that poor sleep may be linked to dementia.

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. Flavonoids are plant pigments with possible anti-cancer properties. Rice comes in a wide variety, and some variations are healthier than others. Here are some tips I share with my patients on choosing healthier rice.

More than 50 percent of the world’s population relies on rice. It’s a staple in more than 100 countries because it’s affordable, convenient and versatile, lending itself to many different dishes and types of meals.Generally, rice is gluten-free, high in carbohydrates, with some fiber and prote...

Many of my patients admit they eat junk food. While I encourage you to limit unhealthy foods as much as possible, the truth is I also indulge from time to time. In fact, most Americans do. It usually stems from cravings. But there are some tips you can try to help control these cravings. Here’s what you need to know.

It’s not news that eating junk food can raise the risk for obesity, type 2 diabetes, gut health issues, heart health issues, depression, some cancers and dementia.

I strongly encourage my patients to eat whole foods; however, I realize that it’s not easy. Almost 50 percent of foods and 40 percent of beverages sold at supermarkets are considered ultra-processed. These foods have been tied to chronic diseases, and a recent study links them to premature death. Here are eight tips to help lower your consumption of ultra-processed foods.

Processed foods have gotten a bad rap over the last decade. Most of the food we buy at the supermarket is processed to some degree. Breads, pastas, frozen vegetables, dairy products and spices — even baby carrots — are processed.
