What Should I Eat For Breakfast?

Tuesday, February 18 -  Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, some good news for patients with diabetic kidney disease and how the diabetic-weight loss drugs (GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy) are helping lower the health risk of their diagnosis, why side effects of medications shouldn’t scare you off from speaking with your doctor about treatments, growing evidence linking heart disease with depression and dietary factors show to play a role, and how to stay active for your health during the winter season. Plus, the latest news on this year’s flu season, and a new study tracking mental health throughout the pandemic found staying playful helps with optimism, enjoyment and overall better mental and emotional health. Doug and Dr. Ken discuss that, too. Another conversation covers whether or not moderate alcohol consumption prevents against heart disease (Spoiler Alert: it doesn’t), the addiction of cannabis-use and how it can lead to early death, an increase in hospitalizations for influenza and pneumonia, and vision issues being reported by elderly patients using weight loss drugs.
