Planning for a pregnancy basics

When patients present for fertility consultation there is only one question your health care provider should start with: Are you healthy and ready for pregnancy? Meaning are both of your healthy for pregnancy. This means having some basic pregnancy planning laboratory tests, examinations, catch up on vaccinations, begin prenatal vitamins, and get a genetic consultations. For most couples this is a relatively short consultation, a few blood tests and you are going to be ready

Diabetic Diets – Which is best??

Paleo? Low-Carb? High Fiber? Low Glycemic Index? Vegan? Mediterranean? Ketogenic? Like most Americans, we find commitment hard. But, on any given day, for any given meal, we might dabble with any of the choices above. And when focusing on optimal diets for prevention or treatment of diabetes, we have to ask what is truly sustainable when it comes to food preparation on a daily basis. The American Diabetes Association traditionally suggests a Mediterranean-style diet, rich in

Diet and breast Pain

Breast pain is a common, bothersome problem. Diet can affect breast pain, especially your sugar metabolism and sugar control. Many breast pain conditions are just due to fibrocystic disease, it is very rare for breast pain to be a sign of cancer. Persistent breast pains are definitely a reason to see your gyno. and to get caught up on your mammograms. Skin changes accompanied by breast pain is more serious. But if you have pain, skin changes, or lumpiness that your gyno has n

How much salt to eat

Experts argue about how much salt we need, and how much salt we tolerate. Salt intake recommendations haven't been refined enough by the medical profession to give guidance to individual groups: females verses men, young verses old. Perhaps 2300 mg daily is ok, but perhaps we should only be getting 1500 per day, according to Dr. Thomas Farley who heads public health for the city of New York. We see this reflected in the blood pressure of healthy individuals, which is in gener

Hemlines change, but should medical advice fit flop?

We all expect hemlines to rise and fall, and last year’s fashion foible to be this year’s hip take on the best dressed list. But doctor’s advice: we just don’t expect the 180 degree change of advice from check up to check up! What was once prohibited may now be advised and we just do not expect last year’s good advice to be told the complete opposite that it is now thought of as bad advice. Nor do us gynos feel like we can always trust the advice of the day. Sometimes the new

To do the perfect push up

Ultimate fitness is the goal of every healthy woman. So optimizing the workout and perfecting the techniques of training is a key ingredient to being fit. What would it take to do the perfect push up: should you build the most muscle, have the right stretch to your joints, or enhance your cardiovascular fitness so you can do many push ups? This is really a question to be answered about every fitness strategy. Today I slugged through my routine wondering, if I was slouching du

Are you guilty of this heartburn causing mistake?

A bit of heartburn after a bit of food indulgence is not unexpected, when it becomes chronic it might need medication. Most women have not learned that there is considerably more to selecting heartburn (GERD) medication than they thought as often we wind up taking these medications for longer period of times than intended, and with potentially longer term effects. Bone loss, increased for inflammatory bowel disease, and pneumonia are reported side effects of long term PPI use

You If You Are Trying To Improve Your Fitness You Need a Body Composition Test with Lunar Prodigy Bo

You can get on the scale, calculate your BMI, or see how your clothes fit. They all have a place in keeping us fit. However, 48% of women are told they are in a normal range by BMI, but are actually obese by DXA body fat testing! In the simplest terms a bone densitometry test helps to understand your weight, your body composition and BMI in context with your muscle mass, your fat mass, and your fat distribution. These measurements need to be interpreted in context with your h

Correcting this common problem is more likely to prevent uterine cancer

Classically it has been taught that estrogen excess, particularly what has been known as 'unopposed estrogen' (or hormone therapy with estrogen alone) is the cause of uterine cancer. The theory that estrogen causes uterine cancer is being challenged. Inflammation, either in the body or in the uterus itself is now thought to be the more likely cause and a simpler strategy for reducing that cause would be to reduce inflammation. Inflammation can be due to a variety of poor heal
