DJVH - KEN - Don't Stop Taking Your Statins!

06/18/21 - Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) begin with news about a recent AMA poll that shows that 96% of practicing physicians have received the COVID vaccination. Next, news that Johnson and Johnson is extending the expiration date of their one-shot vaccine. Good news! Tele-Health is certain to remain a force, after the Pandemic has passed. The recently AMA approved weight loss drug, Wegovy (semaglutide) has been proven to be a game changer, but it must be coupled with a diet that is very calorie conscious. Finally, the link between Statins and Alzheimer’s is not conclusive, but suddenly stopping their use can create other medical issues.
