10 Things Your Doctor Does Not Have Time to Tell You:

1. Pharmaceuticals have risks and side effects as well as benefits. Ask if there are alternatives.
2. Fast food kills.
3. Switching from regular to diet soda is not enough. Drinking carbonated soda increases osteoporosis risk and dental problems. Drinking one soda a day puts you 3 times more at risk for Type II Diabetes (stay away from phosphoric acid).
4. Type 2 diabetes need not require medication if you catch it early enough.
5. Whatever the diagnosis, a doctor should provide you with information on all the treatment options- including dietary changes, supplements, mind-body options and holistic or naturopathic means.
6. Do not ignore stress.
7. How to loose weight sensibly. Great resource http://www.cinchplan.com/thehealthyway
8. Fat is good for you! (especially for your brain, heart, skin & hair) About 30% of your diet should come from “healthy fat”- olive oil, canola oil, fish oil, nuts. Minimize saturated fats and try to avoid hydrogenated fats.
9. Sleep is incredibly important. Adults need 7-8 hours a night and this does NOT decline with age. It is the time for repair of the body.
10. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can almost always be improved through diet & lifestyle. Medication need not be required.

“The Physician/Patient relationship is an incredibly important partnership. Information, trust, and confidence are key. They must give you all the tools needed to stay well and healthy.”
