Tuesday, April 29 - Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken start the episode with a focus on more evidence of the effects of marijuana use and an increased risk of dementia diagnosis because the marijuana of today is not like it was “back in the day,” a study out of Harvard Medical School finding a disturbing link between coffee and Alzheimer’s, and a study out of the Journal of the American Medical Association finds a clear link between hearing loss and early dementia. Then, the conversation shifts to RFK Jr.’s plans to reverse the CDC’s COVID-19 vaccine recommendations, especially as it applies to children. Doug and Dr. Ken also discuss a warning for parents and guardians of small children in a crib as some crib mattresses are being found to release harmful chemicals, why cramming exercise into 1 or 2 days is just as beneficial as spreading it out over the week — with 150 minutes of vigorous exercise a week being beneficial. Other topics Doug and Dr. Ken cover are the dangers teenage girls face because of social media, good news that more people diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer can continue to live many more years with lifestyle and dietary changes, the latest news on measles cases, how mustard effects cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and how lubricating eye drops can help battle eye strain.
