Preventing Congestive Heart Failure, Part 1
June 14, 2022
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is one of the most common diagnoses for those over 65. CHF is a progressive condition where the heart muscle is less able to contract and its pumping action can't keep up with the body's demands; the heart can't bring enough oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the body. Naturopathic Practitioner Jane Jansen of the Tree of Life Wellness Center in Massachusetts offers a unique perspective as a medical professional who, prior to becoming a naturopathic practitioner, spent years in cardiovascular labs at hospitals. She was Chief of the Non-Invasive Cardiology Lab at the Miriam Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island doing testing and research, and also taught and trained students for the Cardiology Lab in Newport Hospital in Newport, Rhode Island. She illustrates her experiences, past and current, and has preventive steps for this all too common cardiovascular event - including beneficial natural supplements such as aged garlic extract.

ENCORE: How Diet Impacts Psychiatric Conditions, Part 1
June 1, 2022
Nutritional psychiatry with Dr. Georgia Ede. Dr. Ede is a Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist who emphasizes diet in her treatment of mental conditions. She is a frequent contributor to Psychology Today, and we discuss her recent article there highlighting the role of nutrition in curbing the risk of severe Covid. She describes how healthy diet impacts psychiatric conditions through three main mechanisms: inflammation, oxidative stress, and blood sugar dysregulation. Ups and downs of glucose affect mood, and insulin resistance deprives brain cells of fuel. She advocates a low-carb diet, even keto, to address certain psychiatric conditions. At the very least, intermittent fasting helps the brain achieve a needed “reset”. She’s not a fan of exclusively vegan diets, and critiques the EAT-Lancet report which calls for minimizing animal protein. She discusses recent research linking food additives and diet to attention deficit disorder. Dr. Ede offers a keto course for clinicians at her informative website diagnosisdiet.com.
