Episode 2106 notes My guest, Ron Hoyler is a diabetes Educator for St. Luke's hospital in the Kansas City metro, and he tells us "once you have diabetes you're at a greater risk for not just dementia, but the complications from dementia. Some of the specific, diseases that come under the dementia umbrella, like Alzheimer's, but cognitive impairment in general, you know, that fog that you'll sometimes hear it called where you are just suddenly in the moment, not quite sure what you were thinking or doing that can be related to the high blood sugars that you might be experiencing". Ron has some shocking information, including the fact that we have 165 meds to treat diabetes with . And in this episode, we're going to get into how the doctors decide which meds to treat you with. But that number alone is pretty shocking, and technically there's over 800 combinations of meds and doses that can be applied together, so how does a physician decide which one's right for you or their other patient or their other patient? It's almost a crapshoot, really. I''m Cary Hall, America's Healthcare Advocate and the fact is that diabetes is such a prevalent disease, and one of the most common chronic disorders in the world and it is a disorder that we could do so much better at in taking care of than what we do now. The thing that drove me to bring Ron Hoyler back to the show is that he and I have been having conversation about this and some of the other comorbidities that are related and I wanted to bring his vast knowledge to all of you. Not just to shock you, but also to show you the most amazing and affordable new device for understanding your own metabolism, blood sugar, glucose, A1c... all of it. And rather than just 2 super basic readings per day... it gives you hundreds! Regardless of your age, your health... and even if you are not diabetic or pre-diabetic: This show is a must listen.

Episode 2105 notes Dr. Arden Andersen works at Brand New Day specialty center in Kansas City where they are using a new approach to non-invasive stimulation to help clients regain mobility, improve neurological conditions, and get past neuropathy, stubborn wounds that aren’t healing, and other physical limitations . And they do it with no medications, no injections, just non-invasive stimulation. If you are like me, this blows you away when you first hear about it... and you are more that skeptical. But that's perfectly fine with Andersen and Brand New Day Director Steve Sanborn because it's easy to prove, it’s a program that really helps and it is using some amazing FDA-cleared tools. This is our second show with PainLab, now having grown within Brand New Day Med, Wellness & Specialty in Lenexa, Ks, part of the Kansas City Metro area. This episode features two additional guests they brought along to explain their personal successes with these new non-invasive approaches to wound healing and the Dr also tells of Earl who suffered a traumatic brain injury and, like similar results involving stroke, he has had amazing success restoring function he thought would never come back... like walking properly, arm movement... all of it.  It's wonderful to hear! As always, if you need help or have something to share?
