ENCORE — Pulse Check: From Poop to Pot

In today’s ENCORE episode of Be HEALTHistic, we introduce a new series called Pulse Check, where our father-and-son doctor hosts — cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra and naturopathic physician Dr. Drew Sinatra — dig into the latest news and trending topics in the world of health, wellness and medicine. What we address today covers it all — from poop to pot! First, the doctors discuss the increasingly controversial matter of CBD products and medical marijuana; they point out the differences and clear up the confusion, bringing the issues surrounding these substances into greater focus. Next, the doctors tackle intermittent fasting and the oh-so popular keto diet — are these strategies right for you? Then, the doctors discuss a procedure that’s been around for ages, but is just now getting support from the conventional medical community — fecal transplants, which are revolutionizing the course of treatment for people suffering from gut issues. The doctors also take on vaping, the epidemic that’s turned deadly. Can vaping actually be worse for you than smoking cigarettes? And finally, eggs are back in the news — to eat or not to eat? The Doctors Sinatra delve into the latest research, so that you can have a better understanding of it all. Join us in discovering new ways to Be HEALTHistic!
