New Treatment for Crohn's Disease

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…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 discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with good news on a breakthrough in Parkinson’s diagnostic efforts as well as a new brain stem stimulator that can help Parkinson’s patients in treating their illness — which works like a brain pace maker the way a pace maker for the heart works. More medical updates from the “good news department”  FDA has approved a new treatment for Crohn’s disease — an inflammatory bowel disease — that can be self-administered at home, what Robert Kennedy, Jr. is doing with his position and how banning certain foods (or, rather food-like-products) as well as carcinogenic ingredients brings a new perspective to American health standards, and how senior citizens can keep their brains healthy and minimize their risk of dementia by monitoring and maintaining health cholesterol levels. Moving on, the conversation shifts to more information on weight loss/diabetes drugs, Wegovy and Ozempic, might help lower the risk of pancreatitis in patience with diabetes and/or obesity. Additionally, these drugs also help lower cravings for sweets, which also help manage diabetic symptoms and weight management. Lastly, Doug and Dr. Jack address listener questions. For starters, the discussion addresses hearing aids and how to find the best one for you. Next question is on deodorant and the differences. Are some better for women vs men, young vs old, aluminum vs aluminum-free are all addressed. Then, the gentlemen discuss the benefits vs risks of intermittent fasting.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks
