Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 518: Cruel Jewel was Surely CruelWelcome! and Thank you for listening.    Cruel Jewel was not the outcome that I was looking for with regard to finishing.  The details are shared in this podcast.   The questions came earlier.  Am I too old, too slow to run these races? Why am I doing this to myself?  At 48 hours post race it sank in.  It is more about the start line than the finish line.  It is about taking a chance on the unknown.  I had the opportunity to confront a struggle that I chose which is different from having a struggle cast upon me. 2025-05-2131 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 517: Plant Based SuccessWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  What are your plans?   How about eating a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.  This will allow you to do things like run, and raft, and bike ride (pedal) into your 80s.  What would a life without countless blood test and imaging be like.  Why would anyone wait in a doctors office for hours?  Why not just be healthy? Move your body and eat plant based.  Today's episode will show you how to grow hair and health.  Neither require pharmaceuticals.  Our countries population is sick largely because of nutriti...2025-05-0937 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast: I was abducted by the Skunk ApeWelcome! and Thank you for listening.   This is a race recap of the Skunk Ape 50 mile ultra in Ocala, Florida.  I was not abducted by the Skunk Ape, but willingly got in a car with Motivation as it sped off the race course.  Actually, it was Jim in a Nissan along with three other people pulling out of the race at 30 miles.  New friends and many life lessons once again having the opportunity to learn from mistakes.   I am disappointed and I disappointed those who support me.  Everyday is not a win but I vow to learn...2025-04-2934 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 516: Risk versus BenefitsWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  It can be very difficult to navigate the risk of a medicine or a procedure versus the benefits.  It is impossible to apply the statistics of many to one.  The study populations may be very different than those we apply the risk/benefit ratios to.  Even with the best information, we are forced to make a gamble many times. While that gamble might be unavoidable, we should not be cavalier about the decision or fail to observe and ask questions on what might be the best plan of action.  Today...2025-04-1832 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 515: Cardiac risk and Leaving Motivation BehindWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  If you have lost your motivation for a healthy lifestyle, try looking for it on the couch.  Motivation is there for you as long as it does not require stepping into action.  All the catchy slogans and memes fade away when it comes time to cook healthy or step out into the cold morning for exercise.  If only I had an accountability partner.  If only my spouse would help.  I am just not motivated.   Why? That is the big question.  What is your why?   It is yours and yours alone.   Let us help you t...2025-04-1133 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 513: Calcium Scores and Why Fiber is a Must Despite One Carnivores OpinionWelcome! and Thank you for listening.   We all need to ask why and how.  Why do this procedure or eat this way, and how will it help me.  Will I live longer or better?  One might think that early detection will result in better cures or outcomes.  However, the treatment may cause significant problems and not affect longevity in a positive way.  Watching rarely results in a positive change.  Why not just eat plant based and exercise?   When I look at a procedure or dietary lifestyle, I look for long term outcomes.  How will that affect my longevity...2025-04-0133 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 512: Worry versus Building a Confidence BankWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  Should you worry if you are good at it?  Turns out most worries have little to do with the facts.  We could spend out time better enjoying the present moment.  What ifs can get in the way of forward progress.  Working a plan is much more calming then worrying about failure.   Today I will share with you my plan to make a confidence bank of the facts versus listing all of the potential pitfalls to my plan.  If you would like some help building a confidence bank in order to susta...2025-03-2131 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 511: Fiber, Expensive Cars, and MusclesWelcome! and Thank you for listening.   I am joined by Addie Majnaric, RDN today to discuss fiber and it's role in health and the potential to limit the car size of GI doctors.  There are many hacks to lifespan on social media.  GLP-1 Agonists such as semaglutide are all the rage for curing obesity, addiction and various other ailments.  They run about $1600.00 per month.  It is too soon to determine if they result in increased longevity but a simple sulfonylurea drug such as Glyburide at $14.00 per month! was studied to see if it could lengthen life i...2025-03-1439 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 510: Protein Needs and LP 33.7Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   March is national nutrition month and we are gong to kick things off with our registered dietitian, Addie Majnaric RDN to discuss protein needs for all stages of life.  Our mission is movement and nutrition to promote a healthy lifespan.  Obtaining a balance plate of macronutrients include protein, carbohydrate and fat.  We would also like to include fiber in that equation because of the gut health benefits.  Plant based nutrition is the perfect way to get a wide variety of macronutrient sources that are easy to digest with the least toxicity.  I...2025-03-0749 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 509: Switch On: Switch OFFWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  We all have the ability to switch on and off mentally.  The problem is we do not often realize when or what causes the switch.  But when it does, we instantly create a dialog to support the change.  The switch is often not in sync with our bodies.  Some say it is the brains way of protecting the body from doing harm.  Sometimes it is the brains way of saying enough.  The problem comes when the brain pulls a fast one to get instant gratification or to avoid perceived mental anguish.   The...2025-02-2725 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast: Take and Aspirin and Call Me in the Morning: or NOTWelcome! and Thank you for listening.   My mother used to joke and say she would take my night calls.  She would say take an aspirin and call me in the am.  Is that good advice?  The reality is that there is not a whole lot of good data to support the practice of taking an aspirin to protect against cardiovascular disease.  The reality is  there is not a whole lot of data on a lot of hospital practices.  I dive into this during this episode. What we do know is that plant based nutrition especially nitric o...2025-02-2137 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 507: Happy HeartsWelcome! and Thank you for listening.   Welcome to a tour of your heart anatomy.  Today I will describe how it works and how to keep it working.  Valentine's day is about showing those we love we care.  Today I would ask you show a little love to your own heart and the rest of you for that matter.  Your heart pumps blood into your blood vessels that go to the rest of your body.  Your brain is very demanding and requires 20% of your energy production or else it sends unwanted messages to increase heart rate and blood pressur...2025-02-1234 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 506: Ferritin, Hyaluronic Acid and When to SupplementWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  Did you know you could get medical advice in the self checkout line in the grocery store? It is amazing where people seek advise and from whom they seek it.  With today's lack of trust in the medical industry, I cannot blame them.  I hope to provide some truthful health information in my podcasts.  Thank you for taking a listen. What was the fork in the road for your change in health trajectory?  My family history lead me to medicine, but it was a podcast on running that inspired me to...2025-02-0641 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 505: Choosing WiselyWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  Do you want to live to 100 or perhaps longer than relatives? Is health span more important than longevity.  How about living well until you die? These are common statements that I hear in my practice.  But rarely do people have a detailed plan to achieve their goals.  I believe most people want to live as long as they can.   While many subscribe to supplements, life hacks and procedures, the most important thing you can do to achieve longevity is nutrition, exercise and sleep.  Everyday matters and the rate of decline...2025-01-3033 minChris Beat Cancer: Heal With Nutrition & Natural TherapiesChris Beat Cancer: Heal With Nutrition & Natural TherapiesPlant-based Cardiologist Dr. Jami Dulaney on reversing heart disease and running ultramarathonsShow notes and links: https://www.chrisbeatcancer.com/plant-based-cardiologist-dr-jami-dulaney-on-reversing-heart-disease-and-running-ultramarathons/2025-01-2555 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 504: You Don't Always Get What You Want But You May Get What You NeedWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  I ran 33 miles out of 100 miles at the Long Haul 100 this past weekend and I am happy.  Last year it would have been a major disappointment not finishing.  This year I am grateful to have ran well and came away stronger than ever.  I will share the nitty gritty details of the weekend in this episode.   There were plant based vegan people running but the majority were not including the aid stations.  That is my problem and not theirs.  So we happily bring our own food and supplies for great te...2025-01-2338 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 503: For Your Eyes OnlyWelcome! and Thank you for listening.   When we think of eye health, the first food that comes to mind is carrots.  We all need Vitamin A and carrots are a great source.  Eggs are also rich in Vitamin A but they are also rich in cholesterol that will not do your eyes any favors.   Did you know your eyes are rich in mitochondria?  Being overweight is a risk for cataracts.   I had a great visit with my plant based eye doctor and will share some discussions we had.  Anywhere there is blood supply there is a risk of...2025-01-1033 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 502: ComebacksWelcome! and Thank you for listening.   This has been a year of comebacks and new traditions.  The holidays  can be very stressful partially due to maintaining traditions.  Some of the traditions are not even healthy or even take away from more healthy behaviors.  Taken together with the stress of fulfilling the tasks makes for a not so joyous holiday.  As the minimalists say, does this still bring you joy? Large sedentary family and friend gatherings with excessive amounts of calorically dense foods can derail a nutrition and movement comeback.  We added a new Christmas Eve fun run...2024-12-2827 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 501 with Andy MathewsWelcome! and Thank you for listening.   Today, Andy "Croom" Mathews joins me to talk about his 200 mile ultra run across Florida for his 63 third year of life.  We talk about his running career and how different it turned out from what he thought it would.  Better yet, we talked or he did, about the multiple ultras he has planned for the near future.  To say that we can do more than we think we can could not be more evident than listening to his story. What will be your story for 2025?  The sky is the limit...2024-12-201h 00Jami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 500!Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  This is podcast 500 for me.  I have tried to average one podcast a week since the beginning.  I have had a few 10 day stretches but for the most part once a week.   The why for my podcast has not changed.  To educate people about a healthy lifestyle with regard to nutrition and exercise.   I became a cardiologist because the people I loved most died from cardiovascular disease.  Family history certainly plays a role in health both from a genetic and environmental stand point.  It has been my mission in my medical...2024-12-1335 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 499: Nutrition Focus Through the HolidaysWelcome! and Thank you for listening.   The holidays are upon us, and the year is coming to the end.  There could not be a more important time for mindfulness.  Where did those holiday foods come from?  What are the ingredients?  A little bite of this or that surely won't hurt you will it?  Some of those little puffed appetizers are packed full of fat and salt.  Buffet tables are full of calorie dense food that is consumed with little regard.  The next thing you know, your weight is up 5 lbs and your breathing is labored.   Come on Doc...2024-12-0639 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 498: Thanksgiving Plant StrongWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  I want you to talk yourself into a plant strong Thanksgiving.  I want you to sell it like a used car salesman.  Write your reasons down.  Detail your plan of action now.  Describe the menu in detail.  If you don't know the recipes by heart include them in the details.  Leave nothing to chance.  This takes the guess work and will power out of the equation.  Rehearse a dialogue that you will have with friends and family.  Dare to be healthy.  Celebrate health with healthy food.  Give thanks for health.  Present the food in the most b...2024-11-2230 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 496: Austin Ratler 50KWelcome! and Thank you for listening.   The Austin Ratler 50k is in the books.  More things went right than wrong.  Perhaps the what went wrong makes for a more entertaining story.  We certainly tend to learn more from the what went wrong.  They also give us practice dealing with life's obstacles.  Nothing is perfect, but not right doesn't have to be bad either.  I hope you find this episode entertaining but can also apply some of my strategies for dealing with what goes wrong to your health journey.

Some people say aging is not for the weak.  I am hear to tell you that you can write your own story.  Why is your aging style any different than your choice of clothing style or decorating style.  You get to choose.  However, it is easier to dial that style in earlier versus later.  I believe most people do not actively...2024-10-1531 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 493: Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Being Your Own AdvocateWelcome! and Thank You for listening.  Breast cancer awareness is more than just pink ribbons and mammogram scheduling.  It certainly is a scary diagnosis.  Nearly 1 in 9 women will get the diagnosis.  The good news is there are things we can do to prevent it and also things we can do to treat and prevent recurrence. You have a voice in your own healthcare.  We will discuss this as well as gastric cancer screening and heart failure treatment in this episode.   Confidence comes from repetition whether it is advancing from a 5k to a marathon or changin...2024-10-0439 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 492: Decreasing Risk of Autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes Through Dietary ChoicesWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  Autoimmune diseases are often thought to be genetic.  However, there are many people with at risk DNA that never develop the disease.  DNA does not turn on by itself.  There has to be a stimulus and often it is a protein that is the trigger.  Type 1 Diabetes occurs mainly in young children and is the result of pancreatic islet cell destruction by an autoimmune process.  One's own body produces antibodies directed against the islet cells and insulin precursors.  How do we make our children less susceptible to autoimmune diseases? Is there a trigg...2024-09-2752 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 491: The Magic NumberWelcome! and Thank you for listening.   It works.  It really does.  Plant based nutrition and exercise reverses lifestyle diseases and people can achieve a normal BMI.  However, it only works if you do it and do it consistently.  Congratulations  David R for achieving some major health goals.  The struggle is real but once you commit nothing can stand in your way.  Living a healthy lifestyle amongst people striving for a quick fix or plainly trying to keep you from changing is a real struggle.   My wellness practice works with people living in the real world.  Not a controlled e...2024-09-1940 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 490: Lp(a) and a Good Nights SleepWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  What does it mean if you are in that 25% of the population than has an abnormally high Lp(a)? Is it worth loosing sleep over?  I can assure you that will not fix the problem.  So many studies correlate numbers with potential outcomes.  It seems logical, but it often is not the case.  Just ask a 90 year old Italian with a high Lp(a).   Even worry is treated with a medication, and there is no known biochemical pathway that correlates with worry.  The treatment effect, like most psychiatric medications, is just...2024-09-1232 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 288: Eat Plants and Be StrongWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  Today I have a plant based strong man on the podcast.   Nathan Majnaric, SCCC, CSCS.  Most plant based athletes lean toward the endurance world so it is great to have the opportunity to speak with a powerlifter, strength coach, and a blue belt in jujitsu that is not only fueled by plants, but has improved on plants.  It was not a compromise but an asset to fuel plant based while continuing to advance in his chosen sports but also from a basic health standpoint. Most lifestyle diseases are a result of impai...2024-08-2957 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 487: Mindful EatingWelcome! and Thank you for listening.   A New England Journal of Medicine Study looked at how much energy people thought they consumed, and how much energy they actually burned.  They compared two groups of overweight individuals based on reported energy consumption.  Group one had difficulty loosing weight despite a reported 1200 kcal or less consumption of food and vigorous exercise.  There were some surprising findings and some consistent findings that I think you will find interesting.  Nutrition is one of the biggest contributors to a healthy life span yet we ignore it's significance and celebrate eating poorly...2024-08-2231 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 486: Visualize your GoalsWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  What are your health goals?  Do you have a bucket list?  My grandmother used to say that if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.  I think there is a lot of confusion between wishing we were healthy and having a plan to do something about it.  We wish there was a magic pill or supplement that would make us young, healthy, energetic, and happy.  It would be even better in the form of a gummy that tasted like candy.  Sorry, that is not an option.  I think it is importan...2024-08-0929 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami DulaEney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 485: In The ZoneWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  When things are going well, there is a flow state.  We are in "The Zone".  Funny how it does not happen too often.  But when it does, we seem to accomplish our goals with minimal efforts.  The other times we are trouble shooting.  Try anything to make things better.  Force the right gait, the right swing, the right nutrition plan.  We buy hundreds of dollars of groceries that go to waste because we have no idea how to use them.  We try six different swing mechanics at once.  We change shoes, gait, and arm moveme...2024-08-0231 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 484: Calories versus WeightWelcome!  Thank you for listening.   What is a whole food? What is a clean food?  Those terms are thrown around with authority and ultimately blend into just food.  If you ask most people on a diet, they will throw out that they are eating 1200 calories a day.  That seems to be the magic number that has stuck in the diet world.  Apps are available that helps one to prove a point.  They are only as good as what is entered.  I have never had a person tell me that they consumed 3000 calories in a day, but I am sure i...2024-07-2631 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 483: Risk versus Reward  Welcome! and Thank you for listening.    What will you do with the results of a test? How will you react? I was very happy to see normal bones and joints on a recent CT scan of my leg, but it did not show the source of my ankle pain.  Good news! Nothing bad.  I can return to training.  It could also be interpreted as I am still in pain and don’t know why.  I am taking the win and I am grateful.  It is good to exclude bad things even if you do not kno...2024-07-1944 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 482: Miracle CuresWelcome! and Thank you for listening. Pills, potions and procedures aimed at curing ailments. The web is full of devices and programs that promise pain relief, younger bodies, and happier lives.  Miracles by definition are not a common occurrences, yet they are promised daily.  It is hard not to give them a try.  Nothing to loose they say, but often the disappointment is not too long thereafter.  I have gone down that road as well many times.  A little glimmer of hope to a solution that is much more complicated than it originally seemed.  My latest running injury...2024-07-1235 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 481: What the Perfect Diet Means to YouWelcome! and Thank you for listening.   The new word is extreme with regard to diet choice.  Moderation is out! The reality is, it was never in.  The abundance of food choices has grown making moderation only an imaginable concept.  I think it is good to always be open to change that supports your goals.  Perhaps  your goals change requiring nutritional changes, or change is needed to support your existing goals.  None the less, you need to be mindful of your why in order to achieve those goals when the going gets tough.  There is constant input for "the best"...2024-07-0331 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 480: Leadville Training and Assessing Your Cardiovascular RiskWelcome! and Thank you for listening.   This episode gives you a glimpse into running in the mountains of Leadville.  I like hard things and I believe we can do just about anything we put our minds to.  You can do more than you think you can is the motto of the Leadville Race Founder Ken Chlouber.  Why not me?

How do we eliminate them?  Our immune system plays a vital role in eliminating old cells or senescent cells.  Unfortunately, our immune system also slows down so we start to accumulate these "zombie" senescent cells.  This month Nature magazine discusses new drugs and repurposed drugs to eliminate these cells.  However, these medications also have side effects and substantial costs.  Since we all age, should everyone start these medicati...2024-05-3136 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 276: Cruel Jewel 50 was Cruel to MeWelcome! and Thank you for listening.   I was fortunate to go to Blue Ridge and Blairsville Georgia this past weekend to toe the line at the Cruel Jewel 50 mile ultra race.  The ultra running community are my people.  Tenacious, positive, and tremendous athletes all humble at the same time.  It did not goes as I would have wished for, but it did go for how I was trained.  I got to see where I was at a fitness level and experience some of the most beautiful and peaceful forests.  That area crosses the Appalachian trail.   People on the trail...2024-05-2236 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 475: 80 for Brady or Your Affairs in OrderWelcome ! and Thank you for listening.  Are you planning for your decline or planning your next adventure?  That adventure might mean a great day at the beach with your grandchildren or other adventures that require you to be active and mobile.   Today's podcast will give you some insight on things that may help or hinder those plans.  Why be secluded to the sidelines when you could be an active participant in life?  In the Journal of Nature on May 2, 2024 there was an article discussing the most basic molecular changes with endurance training that affect...2024-05-1435 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 474: Changing Perspectives with AgingWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  Have you ever heard someone say, what would you tell your thirty year old self?

Skin health is associated with nutrition and environmental factors as is any other organ.  In fact, our skin is a major organ capable of helping to eliminate toxins from our body including heavy metals.  The outer layer of our skin is the epidermis.  It is composed mainly of the oldest...2023-05-3132 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Running and Wellness Podcast Episode 433 with Paul Youd 85 years young vegan ultrarunnerWelcome! and thank you for listening.   Today I have Paul Youd on the podcast.  He is an 85 year old endurance athlete from the UK.  His knees bothered him so bad in his 50s that he stopped running and started biking.  Then he became vegan after learning about the cruel conditions factory farm animals endure.  One day chasing his grandson, he realized his knees no longer hurt and he resumed running.  Fast forward to the lockdown, he decided to try a 50k distance and  set his sights on a press up goal of one million before age 90...2023-05-2645 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Running Podcast: Episode 432 : The Diva Does 90Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  I have added running to the title of the podcast given I have been talking about it so often.  I believe wellness must include movement as well as nutrition and running is certainly my favorite movement.   Happy Birthday Diva!  She is certainly a mover and a shaker in all the ways.  Today, I would like to share some highlights from her surprise birthday party.  Most people who know my mother consider her an inspiration.  Perhaps you would like to learn a few secrets from my observations of the Diva.   I hope thi...2023-05-1731 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 431: The Power of MushroomsWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  When I was growing up, mushrooms were something that you got on a pizza when you progressed from straight pepperoni.  They were usually from a jar or can and were nothing spectacular to look at.  I believe that is where they got their bad wrap.  The other place I started seeing mushrooms were on a fancy spinach salad.  They were fresh and thinly sliced but raw.  Not a lot of taste but they made the salad pretty.   Raw mushrooms are actually toxic due to a surface chemical called agaratine.  It is destroyed...2023-05-0539 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast Episode 430: Practice Choosing HardWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  We have so many nutritional options and things to choose leading to confusion and indecision.  There is more dietary advise advertised than just about anything else.  Eating is glamorous, social, and is portrayed as having a large role in our overall happiness.  Admitting that our food choices play a large role in our overall health is not the reality most people want to hear.   How many times have you said, we eat better than we used to?  We eat better than other people.  We don't eat fast food.  I need a ch...2023-04-2839 minJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based WellnessJami Dulaney MD Plant Based Wellness Podcast: Episode 429: Cleaning Out the Cellular GarageWelcome! and Thank you for listening.  We accumulate metabolic waste just like we accumulate junk in the garage.  You might be able to use some of it, but most likely it just sits there and rusts.  How do you get it out?
