In 2010, chicken overtook red meat as the most popular meat consumed in the U.S., according to the USDA.

If you love steaks and cheeseburgers, keep reading; my colleague, Dr. Louis Malinow, may have some good news for you.

About 35 percent of adults have a sleep disorder. Unfortunately, sleep deprivation can lead to a wide range of serious health issues and injuries. The good news is, as a primary care doctor, I may be able to help you. If you’re struggling to get a good night’s sleep, talk to me about it. In the meantime, here’s more on sleep disorders.

If you have trouble sleeping, you’re not alone. Around 35% of adults have a sleep disorder. If you head to bed tired at night but can’t go to sleep — including not being able to fall asleep, restless sleep, waking up multiple times during the night, not being able to stay asleep as long as you...

If you’re trying to lose weight, you’ll need to take a good, hard look at your diet, starting with your protein intake. Many of my patients wonder which type of protein is better for weight control – plant-based or animal-based. Here’s what you need to know.

Plant-based proteins have been trending for at least a decade. Studies suggest foods such as chickpeas, beans, lentils, quinoa, tofu, tempeh, nuts and seeds can be healthier than animal-based proteins like red meats, eggs, fish and poultry in that they can:

Many of my patients were familiar with types of fat such as subcutaneous and visceral fat, but most have never heard of intramuscular fat, which resides in skeletal-muscle fibers. Not a lot is known about it, but it has been linked to serious heart conditions. Here’s what you need to know.

You’re probably familiar with subcutaneous fat – the type of fat that settles under your skin that you can pinch. It usually accumulates in the thighs, hips, belly and buttocks. And you may have heard of visceral fat, the type that settles in the abdomen and wraps around internal organs.

Plantar fasciitis is a common problem in my practice. While some people may need orthopedic or even surgical intervention, many of my patients find some relief through lifestyle changes and home treatments. Here’s what you need to know.

At the masters last year, plantar fasciitis sidelined Tiger Woods. But plantar fasciitis isn’t just an athlete’s problem. It’s a common problem that can develop in anyone, anytime of the year. However, many people are more susceptible to it during the warmer months as they participant in outdo...

What’s the secret to longevity? It’s a question many of my patients ask. Unfortunately, no one knows yet. What we do know is that there are scientifically supported lifestyle behaviors that can help you live longer (and better). Check them out.

When it comes to health span – the period in our life where we live healthy – not everything is in our hands. First, no one lives forever – and most of us will die from or with a chronic condition. Genetics also play a big role in our longevity and risk for chronic conditions.

Which is better for weight loss – animal protein or plant protein? I get this question a lot. Here’s some information to help you decide which protein source may work better for you.

Multiple sclerosis (or MS) is a chronic, debilitating disease that significantly hinders your quality of life. Historically, MS has been considered a younger person’s disease. However, recent studies suggest that MS is becoming a disease of older Americans. Let me know if you have any questions after reading this blog.
