Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 259: Risk/Reward: Attacking Covid from a Fitness View

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  If you are interested in following our running group; Plant Based Striders or joining in for free, head over Plant Based Striders.  

This podcast discusses how we can make our general health better in order to decrease the risk of lifestyle diseases or infectious diseases.  I also discuss the concept of risk/benefit.  We often forget that this concept applies to most aspects of life.  We tend to minimize the risk of behaviors and choices that we desire, and maximize the risk of others.  There are 660,000 deaths each year from cardiovascular disease.  The risk of a heart catheterization is 1% and a bypass up 5-10%.  Yet these procedures are done thousands of times each day without even a question of their potential benefit in many cases.  

Many people question the use of standard cardiac medications but look at supplements as a magic bullet.  I am a firm believer that adult onset diabetes and heart disease can be reversed in most people through nutrition, and I have seen it work.  However, I watch daily as intelligent people continue to choose otherwise. The answer?  Change is hard.  Being an Outlier is hard.  I hope you enjoy my discussion of why we need to support and encourage each other and become a we instead of them.
