“Good Nutrition for Optimal Health”

 

Hi Friends,

 

Happy Thanksgiving! I’m your host Dr. Gold. I’m a board-certified family medicine physician and also a holistic and functional medicine doctor. As an athlete, I have personally seen the benefit that good nutrition makes on athletic performance. It’s allowed me to have good stamina and good power and strength and helped me to make it to the finish line of my first full marathon without hitting the wall. It has also helped me with focus and concentration, all key ingredients that will support you in life. This blog will offer you simple, quick and affordable ways to bring more nutritious foods into your life. I’d love for this to be interactive, so please feel free to ask questions and share ideas. Below you’ll find a yummy easy recipe for pumpkin pie.

 


Let’s meet Robin. She’s a busy mom of two, trying to lose weight, have some more energy, sleep better and get stronger. Robin also makes the time to work out on a regular basis. As a working mom to boot, she rarely has time for herself. After obtaining a thorough history, I found out she rarely drinks water. She also picks up a lot of fast food, “Just because it’s easy and the kids love it. Seriously Dr. Gold it’s inexpensive, it’s quick, and I don’t have time to cook.” I listened and then I asked her, “How do YOU want to LIVE? How do you want your KIDS to LIVE?” Her kids were sick with colds at least a few times a year (including herself and her husband) and they all suffered with attention problems (easily getting distracted).

 

Can nutritious food really make us WELL and FEEL BETTER? 😊

 

Numerous studies show the benefit of good nutrition for:

1.    Reducing illness (lowering risk of infections ie Covid-19, colds), as well as obesity and diabetes, asthma, heart disease and cancer.

2.    Building up your immune system

3.    Weight loss

4.    Improving focus and concentration

5.    Better sleep

6.    Improving athletic performance

7.    When combined with good workouts (like you receive at the dojo!) it can build strong muscles and help with endurance

8.    Improving bone density

9.    Looking and feeling younger

10. Giving you more energy 


 💕With warmest wishes, Dr. Gold

Can Plug-ins Make YOU Sick and Fat?

  Can Fragrances (e.g. perfumes, colognes, air fresheners)  Make YOU SICK & FAT? Did you know the scent within many perfumes and colognes along with plug-ins (and many other household and beauty products have chemical fragrances or parfums in their ingredients i.e., Febreze, Lysol, Clorox Bleach, Dawn, Tide, Irish Spring, Fabuloso etc) which contain many harmful chemicals. According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG.org), many of the chemicals in these synthetic fragrances contain phthalates, which can disrupt hormones, worsen asthma, allergies, lead to headaches, fatigue, weight gain (as these chemicals get stored in the fat), weaken the immune system, and even possibly cause cancer. What to do?   Use natural products.  For not much more money, you can get products from Seventh Generation (SeventhGeneration.com), Ecos (ecos.com) etc. that don’t contain many of these harmful chemicals. These ecofriendly products can smell nice and be just as effective at eliminati

How to Relieve Pain Long Term & Naturally

Image
  How to Relieve Pain Long Term & Naturally Our body is connected (as you know!), but when we see a traditional doc, they may only focus on the specific body part for which you are having a problem. For example, when I saw my neurosurgeon for neck pain, they only looked at my neck. I have a history of many ankle sprains. Once I addressed strengthening my ankles, which I never thought to do because they didn't hurt, my neck pain improved. The chiropractor explained my "weak ankles likely turned in my hips and shoulders, which likely affected my neck". Once I strengthened my ankles and stretched my hips and shoulders more, my neck pain improved (without the surgery). I've seen many patients with knee pain where the cause of the their pain was related to tight hips or problems with their feet (which they told me was never addressed before). The great part is they are improving and feeling better and are not taking their pain medicines any longer (e.g. T
