“That's taxpayer’s money that is going to support research and development and pilot projects to develop a food system that is based on environmental destruction and greed and disregard for animals, fish, and any of the other marine mammals that might be around it.” - Andrianna Natsoulas Andrianna Natsoulas is the campaign director for Don't Cage Our Oceans, an organization that exists to keep our oceans free from industrial fish farms. Offshore finfish farming is the mass cultivation of finfish in marine waters, in underwater or floating net pens, pods, and cages. Offshore finfish farms are factory farms that harm public health, the environment, and local communities and economies that rely on the ocean and its resources. Don’t Cage Our Oceans are a coalition of diverse organizations working together to stop the development of offshore finfish farming in the United States through federal law, policies, and coalition building. And, although it is not yet happening, right now the US Administration and Congress are promoting this kind of farming, which would be nothing short of disastrous for the oceans, the planet and the people and animals who live here. dontcageouroceans.org…

If your mom, dad or elderly loved one is having memory issues, wether dementia, Alzheimer's small vessel disease that causes short term memory loss, when should you decide on memory care and is assisted living an option.
Many with memory disorders can move to an assisted living facility, they have monitors on the floor so that if the patient tries to walk the front desk is alerted for immediate assistance. Even in assisted living or memory care, patients can wear a device that is similiar to a life alert that they can push for assistance. However, many individuals may forget how to ask for help and that is when it is best to have laser movement devices that can alert the front desk.
Many patient families ask when it is best to move their parents many prefer to be by their friends and have a unique support system with family, church and friends that allows them to maintain their independence. Others, may become more difficult as they refuse to take medications that allows the family to help them. It is one situation that can be better handled with assisted and memory care alternatives. For our patients one of the easiest transitions is from hospital, to rehabilitation to assisted living or memory care. However, it's not always that easy. Families become overwhelmed as their loved ones forget how to drive, get lost or wonder. In these instances having a family meeting with the doctor they trust can help them with this transition as we all want our loved ones to be safe in every environment.
Family members want to keep their loved ones safe and recently on the news we have seen and heard devastating incidences of loved ones being harmed, this is absolutely criminal and should you suspect it you should report it to the authorities for investigation and criminal charges. Family members should be their to care for loved ones as they care for them as children and not take advantage whether financial or physical. It's a journey that if you need assistance in the care of your loved ones, know their are specialists to help you.
There are specialty care centers that have counselors on staff to help with the transition for the patient and the family. In today's episode we will discuss a few scenarios and answer questions from emails received. If you have a question please email us at info@everydayhealthhacker.com

S2 Ep106: Exercise and Osteoporosis Prevention: Mobility is Life 11:54

Welcome back to the Every Day Health Hacker channel, today we will be discussing Mobility is Life with special guest. Kelly Spencer, owner of Silver Fitness. Many patients ask what type of exercise and how to get started on a wellness journey to prevent osteoporosis. The earlier the better, we always encourage. As we become mature in our life and our bones, we can loose muscle tone and loose bone strength, as our bones start to decrease the amount of new bone created our old bone literally sticks around. You have heard on our previous videos, that many treatments today for osteoporosis will just keep old bone around which can cause fracture, loss of teeth, many individuals even loose the dental implants they have had placed. Our bones are truly the foundation of our strength and to be able to lift up our arms to the top shelf of a counter, or step up stairs, we want to be able to do so comfortably with steadiness and strength. Activity is life! Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Like and Comment.

S2 Ep105: Outdated and Expired Medications: Are they safe to take? 12:28

for ca. et år siden12:28

12:28

Outdated or Expired Medications are always a question at the doctor's office, especially when a patient is on a weekend outing away from major retail stores, they ask can this medication "still" be taken? It's a great question! Many studies have shown that tablets and capsules even 10 years are greater than 88% effective. Longer shelf lives of medications sitting in your cabinets loose their potency and efficacy. A Law was passed in 1979 for pharmaceutical drug manufactures to require a date to 'guarantee' full potency and safety. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (Drug expiry debate:the myth and the reality- PMC) The Shelf Life Extension Program (SLEP) was started by the FDA for the Department of Defense to order to help cut costs https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/expiration-dating-extension SLEP is used in order for preparedness for our military and natural disasters like earthquakes, viral outbreaks, hurricanes, tornados and more. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) oversees the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS). In helping to prepare for natural emergencies it is also what brings Emergency Use guidelines, we all remember that from COVID. Please send me a comment on your thoughts of Emergency Use Guidelines, stockpiles for emergencies and the shortages of medications many Americans are experiencing now.

S2 Ep104: Know the Signs: Heat Exhaustion vs Heat Stroke 12:56

for ca. et år siden12:56

12:56

Update from 2023: Heat exhaustion is less serious than heatstroke also sometimes called sunstroke. Symptoms of heat exhaustion can occur quickly or over a few days. Many patients will call complaining of leg cramping here is a list of symptoms: Heat exhaustion can lead to: - headaches - muscle cramping - nausea and vomiting - excessive sweating and cold clammy skin - on occasion a decreased pulse and feelings of weakness - dizziness and sometimes fainting - dark-colored urine can occur from dehydration It's important to note that heat exhaustion can be alleviated with hydration and moving to cooler temperatures indoors. Heatstroke is a life threatening medical emergency and your body's temperature can rise to 104 or more. It needs immediate treatment and we encourage you to call 911. Heat stroke affects the brain and nervous system which can lead to serious injury. It also affects your organs. Immediate attention is required. When a person has reached this level they usually have stopped sweating, as their body's ability to cool is now disabled they are more likely to faint as well as have the symptoms arriving from heat exhaustion. Instead of a weak pulse, the body responds with a racing heart beat. They may appear confused, agitated, slurred speach and appear if they are drunk if they had been drinking alcohol. Alcohol and heat do not mix and a serious event can be mistaken for a drunken fool instead of a heat stroke that can cause a person to loose consciousness and even coma. These are simple definitions to help you and your loved ones seek medical care. The key is to stay hydrated while out in the sun, use sunscreen and have shade available. Remember to keep an eye out on your fur children as pets can also suffer from these same consequences and if the pavement, sand or walking is area is hot on your feet it is also hot on all of our four legged friends. Be safe, stay hydrated, wear sunscreen and foot protection for all of us two legged and four legged friends. Let's discuss options for better health and a better future together.

Thanks again for all the wonderful questions, Osteoporosis has been our most listened to playlist and videos on youtube. Today we will discuss what you can do now to prevent osteoporosis and if you are in your 50's and 60's like me, what you can do to gain bone health through supplementation, diet and exercise. It's never too late to make a better change. As we have been discussing Bisphosphonates for Osteoporosis are dangerous. The most serious side effect can be to lose all your teeth from osteonecrosis it can cause the bone to die. Originally bisphosphonates like Boniva, Reclast, Fosamax just to name a few work to keep the "old" bone around. This can have an appearance of more bone on a bone density test, however, it is deceiving. Listen today to learn options to protect your bones and mobility and we will build on Part I, II and III.
