  • 570 WSYR "YOUR HEALTH MATTERS" - Ep #32: Dr. Casey Means "GOOD ENERGY" Karl Sterling | Dr N Sterling
    Aug 27 2024
    Understanding Metabolic Health: Insights from Dr. Casey Means on "Your Health Matters." In a recent episode of "Your Health Matters," hosts Karl and Nick Sterling discussed metabolic dysfunction with Dr. Casey Means, a Stanford-trained physician and co-founder of Levels. Dr. Means highlighted how lifestyle and diet choices contribute to America's health crisis. The Growing Health Crisis Dr. Means noted a disconnect in traditional medicine, where specialized training often overlooks lifestyle-related diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Alarming statistics include: - 40% of 18-year-olds have a mental health diagnosis. - Suicide is the second leading cause of death among teens. - 74% of American adults are overweight or obese. - 50% of adults have type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. Understanding Metabolic Dysfunction Metabolic dysfunction occurs when the body can't effectively produce and use energy due to processed foods, sedentary lifestyles, poor sleep, and chronic stress. High fructose corn syrup in processed foods has significantly contributed to obesity and metabolic issues. Metabolic Health and Autoimmunity Autoimmune diseases are on the rise, affecting about 50 million Americans, linked to processed foods, toxins, and stress. Metabolic dysfunction can cause chronic inflammation, where immune responses are triggered but can't resolve underlying issues. Reducing triggers like processed foods and toxins is essential. Practical Steps to Improve Metabolic Health Dietary Changes: - Avoid ultra-processed foods. - Build meals with fiber, antioxidants, omega-3s, proteins, and probiotics. - Choose high-quality ingredients. Incorporate Movement: - Use standing desks. - Set reminders for brief exercises. - Take short walks regularly. Spend Time Outdoors: Connecting with nature can improve well-being. The Role of Technology Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) help track blood sugar levels, offering insights into diet and lifestyle impacts on metabolic health. Addressing Systemic Healthcare Issues Dr. Means criticized the U.S. healthcare model for focusing on volume-based care that treats symptoms, not causes. She advocates for value-based care that improves patient outcomes and calls for policy changes to prioritize public health over corporate interests. Conclusion "Your Health Matters" highlights the importance of metabolic health, dietary choices, and systemic healthcare changes. Small, consistent lifestyle adjustments can greatly improve health and quality of life. Key Takeaways: - Focus on metabolic health. - Make dietary changes to avoid processed foods and include essential nutrients. - Incorporate regular movement and spend time outdoors. - Use technology like CGMs for monitoring metabolic health. - Advocate for value-based care and policy changes. These steps empower individuals to take control of their health and contribute to a healthier future.

  • WLAC 1510 "YOUR HEALTH MATTERS" Ep 2 - w/ Karl Sterling: The Importance of Maintaining Muscle Mass
    Aug 18 2024
    Building and maintaining sufficient muscle mass throughout the lifetime is absolutely PARAMOUNT in terms of: * longevity * movement * quality of life * metabolism * optimal movement * fall risk reduction * fracture risk reduction * BONE HEALTH As we age, it is natural to lose muscle and bone mass. However, at ANY age, we can and we SHOULD be building and/or maintaining muscle mass and bone density to live our longest and best quality life. If you are anywhere near Nashville, TN - be sure to visit https://www.thelebanondojo.com/50plusinformation/ Their new Isshinryu Neuro-Motor Training is a COMPLETE game changer. As there is a general decline in senior wellness in the US, falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths for people over 65 and the rate has increased by 60% in the last decade. Nearly three million seniors a year are treated for fall related injuries. Sadly, fully 30% of seniors who visit the ER for fall related injuries are dead within a year. There are various reasons for this, but primarily, a lack of physical fitness, and impaired cognitive function are contributing factors. There are many other ailments related to aging that can be mitigated by the right kind of preventative activities. And… the earlier you start, the better. If you are over fifty and not currently working both your body and your brain, you will be at greater risk of age-related injuries and illnesses down the road. You can play a role in holding off age-related illnesses and injuries. INM Training is a low-impact program designed specifically for people over fifty to foster improved health and well-being. The exercises have been specifically designed to utilize the best parts of ancient Okinawan traditional forms with the most up-to-date research around neuro-motor functioning and enhancements for seniors to improve longevity and quality of life. This new program, introduced first here in Nashville, is built around foundational Isshinryu katas and Pilates exercises. These series of movements were specifically designed to develop muscle mass, core strength, balance, endurance, proper breathing, and cognitive function. The ancient masters understood the benefits of these practices long before modern science. Isshinryu Neuro-Motor Training is: Designed for, and delivered by seniors, to promote a proactive approach to our aging minds and bodies. These methods have proven effective in enhancing quality of life in seniors. Unlike traditional martial arts training, this is not a belt program. There will be no sparring, grappling, or contact involved unless that is what you request. (We have traditional self-defense and belt programs available for those who want it.) We will work within your personal goals. A program that combines the wisdom of an ancient art, Pilates exercises, and the most recent scientific research to create a system designed to improve your physical and neural health, while avoiding the injuries that plague so many older people. We will also offer additional tiers of engagement should you be interested in self-defense or a Black Belt program designed just for seniors. This is totally optional and not a part of INM Training. For more information, click on the links below to get more details. https://www.thelebanondojo.com/50plusinformation/ You can also hear more about the Neuro-Motor Training program by tuning into ‘Your Health Matters’, every Saturday morning from 6:00 – 7:00 AM on WLAC AM & 98.3 FM.

  • 570 WSYR "YOUR HEALTH MATTERS" - Ep #30: Good Fat vs. Bad Fat with Karl Sterling & Elizabethy Brusa
    Aug 12 2024
    **Episode Summary: "Understanding Good Fat vs. Bad Fat" on "Your Health Matters"** **Aired on 8/11/24 on NewsRadio 570 WSYR, Syracuse** In this episode of "Your Health Matters," Karl Sterling and Elizabeth Brusa explore the critical differences between good and bad fats, shedding light on how these fats impact overall health. **Introduction** Karl begins by emphasizing the importance of healthspan, inspiring listeners to live fuller, healthier lives. He shares a personal health scare that transformed his perspective, driving him to share insights that can help others avoid similar challenges. **Challenging Health Norms** Karl urges listeners to rethink their approach to health, advocating for proactive changes. He acknowledges that while some have made progress in their health journeys, others remain hesitant, often due to fear of change. **Resource Recommendations** Karl recommends "Metabolical" by Dr. Robert Lustig, calling it a game changer for understanding metabolic health. He also highlights the podcast "Feel Better, Live More" by Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, specifically noting an episode featuring Dr. Lustig that left a lasting impression. **Neuro Motor Training Clinic Insights** Karl discusses his clinic, Neuro Motor Training in Camillus, which combines physical and cognitive training for a unique approach to wellness. He invites listeners to experience these innovative methods firsthand. **Understanding Different Types of Body Fat** The episode's core discussion focuses on various types of body fat: - **Subcutaneous Fat**: This fat is stored beneath the skin and is generally safe, but excess amounts can lead to health issues. Karl mentions research suggesting that more than 22 pounds of subcutaneous fat may cause problems, though this varies by individual. - **Visceral Fat**: Surrounding the organs, visceral fat is more harmful than subcutaneous fat. Karl explains that chronic stress contributes to its accumulation due to cortisol release, increasing the risk of heart disease and metabolic disorders. - **Liver Fat**: Karl describes liver fat as the most dangerous type, leading to severe metabolic issues even with just half a pound present. He highlights the role of high sugar intake and alcohol consumption in liver fat accumulation. **Diet and Processed Foods** Karl emphasizes the importance of avoiding processed foods, which contribute significantly to fatty liver disease. He highlights alarming statistics about non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, affecting a large portion of the U.S. population, including children. **Whole Foods and Health** Advocating for a diet rich in minimally processed whole foods, Karl stresses their role in supporting mitochondrial function and reducing stress. He warns against excessive fructose consumption, which can be harmful when not consumed with the fiber and antioxidants found in whole fruits. **Intramuscular Fat** Karl explains intramuscular fat, which can be mistaken for muscle mass, potentially misleading individuals tracking their fitness progress. He emphasizes understanding body composition nuances to accurately assess health. **Conclusion** Karl concludes by encouraging listeners to take control of their health, explore recommended resources, and consider visiting his clinic. Understanding the nuances of fat and metabolism, he notes, empowers individuals to make healthier choices and improve their quality of life.
