  • In this episode of Walk, Don’t Run to the Doctor, Miles Hassell MD explores the complex and often controversial topic of alcohol consumption and its impact on health. From historical context to modern studies, he provides a balanced look at the potential benefits and risks of alcohol, encouraging viewers to make informed decisions based on evidence rather than emotion.

    Summary:
    Dr. Hassell discusses the nuanced role of alcohol in health and lifestyle. While heavy drinking poses clear dangers—such as liver disease, cardiovascular issues, and societal harm—low to moderate consumption might have benefits in certain contexts. Evidence from large studies suggests reduced risks of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and some forms of dementia for moderate drinkers, particularly when paired with a healthy lifestyle.

    Key Takeaways:

    Moderation is Key: Up to 7 drinks per week for women and 10-14 for men may provide benefits, but heavy drinking is harmful. Context Matters: Alcohol's benefits are most evident in a healthy lifestyle, alongside good nutrition and regular exercise. Potential Benefits: Includes improved heart health, reduced type 2 diabetes risk, and enhanced cognitive function. Risks to Consider: Alcohol can still pose risks, including cancer, dependence, and societal harm, even at low levels. Preferred Choice: Red wine may offer additional health benefits due to its antioxidants.

  • This episode of Walk, Don't Run to the Doctor emphasizes the importance of building and maintaining a healthy microbiome for better health outcomes, disease prevention, and overall well-being. The microbiome, a complex population of microorganisms living in the gut, plays a significant role in protecting against cancer, regulating digestion, and supporting various metabolic and immune functions. A home-cooked diet, particularly a whole food omnivorous diet rich in fiber and fermented foods, helps to cultivate a resilient microbiome. Exercise, scant to moderate alcohol consumption (especially wine), and avoiding sugar, refined flours, and artificial sweeteners further enhance gut health. This episode also warns against overuse of antibiotics and reliance on probiotic supplements, advocating instead for a food-based approach through diet and lifestyle changes.

    Key Takeaways:

    Microbiome's Role in Health: The microbiome impacts everything from cancer prevention to appetite regulation, insulin sensitivity, immune function, and even brain health. Diet and Gut Health: A Mediterranean-style, omnivorous whole food, diet improves microbiome diversity and overall health, reducing risks for conditions like obesity, diabetes, and cancer. Fermented Foods: Incorporating fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and kombucha supports a healthy microbiome and reduces cancer risk. Exercise and Lifestyle: Regular exercise promotes gut health and boosts immunity, while avoiding sugar, artificial sweeteners, and unnecessary antibiotics helps maintain microbiome balance. Natural Approach: The podcast recommends focusing on diet and lifestyle over probiotic or prebiotic supplements to build a resilient microbiome.

  • In this episode of Walk, Don’t Run to the Doctor, Miles Hassell MD explores the latest research on the health benefits of coffee and tea. Contrary to the common perception that they are guilty pleasures, recent (and ancient) studies suggest that coffee and tea may significantly improve health outcomes. Here are the key takeaways:

    Key Takeaways:

    Drinking 3-5 cups of coffee or tea per day can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and even some cancers. Coffee and tea may reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and slow the progression of symptoms. Consuming these beverages may also offer cardiometabolic benefits, including a reduced risk of cardiac arrhythmias and premature death. Studies show potential benefits for gut health, liver fat reduction, and even bone strength, particularly from tea. Remember: Black coffee or tea is best. Avoid sugary, dessert-like drinks that negate the health benefits. Doctor up your cup with a splash of whole milk.

  • In this episode of Walk, Don’t Run to the Doctor, Miles Hassell MD focuses on cancer survivorship and prevention, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle choices. Key takeaways include:

    Lifestyle and Cancer: Diet, exercise, and weight management are as crucial as conventional cancer treatments like surgery or chemotherapy. Dietary Recommendations: The Mediterranean diet is highlighted for its benefits in reducing cancer recurrence, improving survival rates, and enhancing quality of life. Though the available research points to the Mediterranean diet being the most widely studied, any omnivorous, whole foods diet is practical here. Exercise & Physical Activity: Regular movement, even brief daily exercises, helps reduce cancer recurrence, boosts mood, and may improve treatment outcomes. Alcohol & Cancer: Moderate alcohol consumption may have health benefits, but overconsumption increases cancer risk. Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight is vital for cancer prevention and survivorship, as excess fat correlates with worse outcomes. Future Resources: A comprehensive cancer survivorship program will be available soon, with a detailed guide on managing cancer through lifestyle choices.

    Tune in for expert insights and practical steps to enhance cancer outcomes through lifestyle adjustments!

With a focus on sugar consumption, the Mediterranean diet, and the effects of various food additives, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you live a healthier life.

    Key Points from the Q + A:

    3:00 - Sweet Tooth and Sugar Alternatives

From understanding the impact of different sugars and sweeteners to evaluating popular diets and addressing food toxins, these tips are vital for anyone looking to improve their overall health.

  • Are dairy and saturated fats secretly sabotaging your health, or are they essential parts of a balanced diet? Many arguments rely on assumptions rather than concrete evidence. Miles Hassell, MD aims to shed light on this issue by focusing on research-backed outcomes.

    Miles Hassell, MD reminds listeners of the importance of making dietary decisions based on a wide range of studies rather than a single piece of research. This method provides a more accurate picture of how dairy and saturated fats affect our health.

    A few takeaways from Miles Hassell, MD:

    Fermented dairy products like yogurt, kefir, and cheese have been shown to offer several advantages, including: reduced risk of bone fractures, blood pressure regulation, enhanced blood sugar management and better cholesterol levels. Higher saturated fat intake has been associated with a lower risk of stroke. Avoid hydrogenated and highly processed oils. Selecting the right types and consuming them in balanced amounts is vital for reaping benefits without compromising health.

    Miles Hassell, MD reminds us to enjoy dairy in moderation and to opt for fermented varieties for the best health outcomes. Making informed dietary choices based on comprehensive data is crucial for maintaining overall well-being.

  • Did you know that one simple change in your kitchen could transform your health? In today’s episode, Miles Hassell, MD, explores the extensive health benefits of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). Drawing on three lines of evidence, he makes a compelling case for making EVOO your primary kitchen fat.

    A few takeaways from Miles Hassell, MD:

    Studies have shown that EVOO supports gut health. A healthy gut can contribute to improved digestion, a stronger immune system, and even better mental health. Regular consumption of EVOO has been associated with a lower incidence of dementia. This connection underscores the importance of incorporating EVOO into your diet as part of a proactive approach to brain health. Research indicates that higher consumption of olive oil is linked to a lower incidence of certain cancers. The powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of EVOO play a significant role in reducing cancer risk. One of the most well-documented benefits of EVOO is its ability to lower the risk of heart disease. Unlike other vegetable oils, EVOO has been consistently shown to promote cardiovascular health.

    Miles Hassell, MD emphasizes that EVOO is not just a cooking ingredient but a therapeutic tool. Its unique composition of monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds makes it a powerhouse for health promotion.

    While other vegetable oils lack the same level of evidence for health benefits, EVOO stands out for its protective effects. When compared to other oils, EVOO consistently comes out on top.

    Making the switch to EVOO can be a simple yet powerful change to improve your overall health. So next time you're cooking, reach for the EVOO and enjoy both its flavor and its multitude of health benefits.
