I'm 58 and decided to try Saxenda at a cost of $650 a month. I lost 13 pounds and it worked well and really suppressed my appetite. My doctor suggested to try Ozempic and been on it for 10 weeks and no weight drop. On my second week on 1ml shot and will give it 6 more weeks because it only costs $270 per month. It's frustrating that I have been at the same weight for 10 weeks. Mounjaro is my next step even knowing it will cost about $500 a month. BMI is 32 and weight 224 at 5'9" and need to weigh around 170 to 160. Been eating healthy and working out 5 days a week. Time will tell in this journey.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO HIS PARTNER WAS THAT HE OWNED TOTAL DENTAL CARE WITH IN MANORVILLE A FEW YRS AGO AND IF HE'S STILL PART OWNER THERE I NEED TO FIND HIM NOW THAT I CANT GO TO DR.JEFF MAY HE RIP :(
This guy is full of s*** I've been in a fib for 15. Yes, I've had 2 electrocardiograms. Grams and one of it worked. I have a pacemaker. I'm on a beta-blocker and and a blood thinner which I cannot afford any more. Because my Health Insurance stopped covernight. So I may prime candidate for a stroke. Most people that are in a fib can't be cured. It's not a curable disease. It. It's very rare that an ablation will cure a fib.
I went to one of smart arches centers!! Truly good people in every regard, and for cheap too! But I would’ve paid a million dollars to work with them❤️
When your talking about taking testosterone are you talking about men only? What should a woman do? I am 66. I’ve lost 24 pounds on Mounjaro, I had osteopenia and now after 5 mths on Mounjaro, I have osteoporosis. Most of the bone loss is in my spine and my t score is 2.5 now,I’m eating 100-115 grams of protein per day. I drink 1 protein shake in the morning just started the last couple of weeks using resistance bands and 5 lb weights 2x a week 15 mins. I weigh 170 now,height 5’2 I am prediabetic insulin resistant with high blood pressure. Should I take estrogen because I am a woman opposed to testosterone for man?
Very interesting ! I'm lucky still having all my teeth in good condition and it's great to see people can smile again. I have a question about immediate loading of teeth. My brother had implant supported bridges done, upper and lower with immediate teeth (not Clear Choice,I must emphasize). Everything was fine but after a few months he had some shrinking of gums as the swelling went down and had problems with food getting stuck and getting a couple of gum abcesses. He went back to them and to be totally fair, they made adjustments and completely fixed his problem, he's been fine for 5 years now. I just wonder is it better for some patients to wait for a time to allow gums to settle before permanent teeth go in? Btw, I should make it clear the issue happened after the healing period using temporaries. It did happen after his permanent teeth were put in. Maybe he just needed longer.
have macular degeneration that is entering the advanced stage with geographic atrophy knocking on the door in my right eye. I've read some doctors are having success treating it with ozone therapy but there's limited discussion on this subject. I take a protocol of various supplements with not much success.
This is exactly what I’m looking for. I want permanent replacement teeth not dentures I have to take out. But I’m concerned about costs. On average , what’s the cost. I’m a disabled and on a fixed income. Medicare will allow $6000 for dental procedures. I doubt this is enough
When I took my wife to Oak Street Health for the first time, I was floored by the attention and care they gave to not only her, but also to me as I waited in their office. Moving from Florida to North Carolina and discovering this amazing team was far beyond my wildest dreams. I am forever grateful for their compassion and understanding they have given to my wife and I. It is the best decision we ever made. One visit and I am an "Oakie" for life.
He kept making an issue of medication's for a fib aren't as good as ablation because they have side effects but blood thinners have absolutely no side effects. Not just with me, but it's never been known to make any side effects.
The interviewer keeps cutting in so annoying. This Doctor is very patient and knowledgable in all he said. Knowing your options is key in all aspect of life. Unfortunately most doctors are fixated, arrogant yet not well researched. I personally think diet and lifestyle are the main cause to health issues yet never addressed and assessed for treatment. All given meds to suppress.
The AIP diet worked for me...stopped my inflammation and arthritis almost immediately. I miss grains so now I'm looking at wheat alternatives like sorghum.
Its also altruistic to give away houses, cars, money, assets, wealth but there arent too many people doing that. I would like the people advocating for blood donations to also advocate for wealth donations
I totally agree with you. So why throw away money when you will get the same benefits from a more reasonable price one. If I had money to piss away I maybe would think about it. Just because you gave it a different name doesn’t change anything.
Dairy should be avoided too. Casein can mimic gluten. The casein protein is also very structurally similar to gluten, so the same molecular mimicry that triggers an attack when you eat gluten can also occur when you eat casein from dairy, initiating an autoimmune response. In fact, roughly 50% of those with gluten intolerance are casein intolerant as well. What does gluten do to your brain? The University of Otago researchers hypothesized that gluten-induced hypothalamic inflammation can lead to brain damage, body weight gain, and impaired blood glucose regulation. In turn, these conditions may increase the risk of impaired memory function. What are the neurological effects of gluten intolerance? The best-characterized neurologic complication related to gluten sensitivity is ataxia, now termed “gluten ataxia”. Gluten ataxia is characterized by positive anti-gliadin antibodies, changes in the cerebellum, and ataxic symptoms including upper or lower limb ataxia, gait ataxia, and dysarthria.
The doctor is very calm, it the interviewer is creating anxiety in me. I recently had my first episode of AF and I’m interested, but…gotta go cause this guy is hickjacking our train of thought.
