Health Topics by Kelly Gregg MD

30 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago -

Various topics filtered through my knowledge and experience. This is unrelated to my Diet and Health podcast as I get tired of talking about diet all the time. It ends up that often diet sneaks into these podcasts also. I am a retired physician so nothing I say should be considered medical advice. That does not mean it may not be good advice. Use your common sense.

Number 19 exercise and hunger

April 13, 2021 02:52 - 14 minutes - 19.3 MB

This is a review of a review of an article in Nutrients, 2021:13(2) 347.  If you exercise, you get hungry.  If you wait a little , you are not quite as hungry.  About 40% of the world is fat.  People try to lose this fat as most do not like it much.  The most common diet is to eat less and exercise more.  People are smart enough to figure this out on their own, but it is also the most common diet advised by your health care provider.  Obviously this diet does not work as the incidence of obe...

Number 18 Introduction to Stem Cell Therapy

March 13, 2021 03:47 - 17 minutes - 24.3 MB

This is a podcast I have made for a job application. It is what it says.  Most people do not have  good idea what stem cell therapy is.  Everyone has heard about it but most are not sure what it is.  This is designed for possible clinical research sites or general populations.

Number 17 Lipoproteins

November 26, 2020 15:39 - 36 minutes - 25.6 MB

Lipoproteins in diet and health has been a confusing topic for many.  Is cholesterol good or bad?  Is a low-fat diet good or bad, or maybe neutral.  I will at least teach you the lingo so you can understand what is being talked about.  Actually, I am going to teach you a lot more than that. Not everyone will agree.  I count on your common sense. This is the last chapter in my book Diet and Health.  Some of the chapters are reprinted in eBook form because they are easier to understand that w...

Number 16 bread and gluten sensitivity

November 24, 2020 03:54 - 40 minutes - 28.8 MB

This small article is a combination of two chapters of the book DIET AND HEALTH.  I have made podcasts of the chapters of this book but some of the subjects are difficult to visualize and need the written word.  This is one of the subjects.  We go over some of the biochemistry of gluten and the diseases associated with bread intake.  Like many other diseases I have mentioned such as obesity, diabetes, immune disease, and cancer; the incidence of these have increased over the last hundred yea...

Number 15 Flour Treatment

November 19, 2020 22:36 - 28 minutes - 20.8 MB

As some of you know, I sometimes put some of the chapters of my book Diet and Health in eBook form.  I do podcasts of the chapters, and sometimes the podcasts are difficult to follow if the book has a list of items or definitions.  Sometimes the book more easily displays the content.  When this happens, I add a not at the end of the podcast that I will be putting the written chapter in eBook form. This chapter reviews the history of bread making and how modern bread is simply not the same. ...

Number 14 Fructose and Soy Engineers

November 15, 2020 01:55 - 33 minutes - 24.4 MB

We eat a lot of fructose compared to man's diet in most of history.  I estimate at least three times as much over a year's time.  Certainly when fruit was ripe, man ate a lot of it.  These were valuable sweet calories to be used for energy and perhaps store as fat.  Now we can eat fruit three times a day, every day of the year.  Government guidelines actually advise you to eat a lot of fruit.  Sucrose is half fructose, and we eat a lot of that.  High fructose core syrup is about half fructos...

Number 13 Fats and Protein for Food Engineers

November 13, 2020 23:46 - 45 minutes - 32.8 MB

I am continuing to talk to the food engineer.  The success of my goal to get you healthier depends on this person.  Last time we talked about carbs.  Now we talk about fats and protein.  This includes cholesterol, omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids, and saturated and unsaturated fat.  You will finally see what is the deal with grass fed beef.

Number 12 carb Engineers

November 12, 2020 02:48 - 34 minutes - 25.7 MB

I continue to address the food engineer in the maintenance diet.  This gives a lot more practical details in how to deal with carbohydrates in the diet.  In my book, Diet and Health, I give progressively more information as it goes on such that it is somewhat difficult to jump in the middle of a topic without background.  Never the less, most people will be able to understand what I am trying to teach.  This will be useful for anyone wanting to get control of their carbs.

Number 11 Who is the food engineer

November 12, 2020 00:48 - 28 minutes - 17.4 MB

I want you to be on the maintenance diet for the common man to prevent Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and obesity; in addition to many diseases of the common man induced by the modern western diet.  This is a lifetime diet for the entire family and relies on the food engineer.  I will begin giving this person advice on how to construct this diet, and the reason why I advice these actions.  This is the main objective of the book Diet and Health.

Number 9 Brain disease and fasting

November 01, 2020 14:50 - 13 minutes - 10.4 MB

Most of the time we want to live a long time.  Getting dementia is the exception.  This episode with talk about Parkinson's and Alzheimer's and how diet affects these diseases; and what you can do about it. 

Number 10 Fat Kids and Fasting

October 29, 2020 23:44 - 18 minutes - 13.2 MB

This is a difficult subject as there are not a lot of studies on fasting in children.  We do know that often fat kids have fat parents.  Why is that?  Has there been a world wide mutation such that now 30% of children and 40% adults are overweight?  What is going on and what can we do about it?

Number 8 Autophagy and AGEs

October 27, 2020 21:49 - 44 minutes - 33.1 MB

You may have never heard of autophagy and AGEs, but you will now.  These are basic homeostatic mechanisms in your body that you may actually influence.  Autophagy is the process by which cells rid themselves of abnormal proteins, DNA, and organelles. It is a key part of allowing you to live a long life and postpone aging somewhat.  AGEs are advanced glycated end products.  These are compounds formed by the non-enzymatic reaction of sugars with protein and fat.  These are difficult for your b...

number 7 Fasting and Disease

October 26, 2020 19:03 - 31 minutes - 29.5 MB

We have been talking about fasting and i am almost finished.  This will give you and example of using fasting to treat a disease.  I will talk a little about rheumatoid arthritis, but mainly give an example of how to treat someone with prediabetes.  This may not be a real patient and I may not be a real doctor, or even a real diktor, So do not use this as medical advice.

Number 6 Women Living Longer with Dementia

October 24, 2020 00:02 - 13 minutes - 10 MB

Women live longer than men in almost every society.  This is good news for women, but also bad news.  People want to be in good health till they die.  People do not want to have dementia, even if they are in good health.  Since women live longer, they have a much higher prevalence of dementia.  I am going to give you some suggestions on how to avoid this.  It will not cost you any money, although I am hoping you buy my book Diet and Health.

Number 5 Angus Fast

October 22, 2020 22:48 - 21 minutes - 12.2 MB

This is a chapter in my book Diet and Health and I have found the details of this fast to be very instructive.  A case study on this fast was published in a medical journal.  The subject started with a weight of 456 pounds, and after not eating any caloric intake for 382 days, ended up at his goal of 180 pounds.  He was under medical supervision and the findings are quite instructive. I make these podcast to drive you to but my book, Diet and Health.  At the end of this podcast, I will be m...

Number 4 A2 Milk

October 21, 2020 21:53 - 14 minutes - 11.5 MB

Milk is both drunk and used in cheese and butter.  I would say almost everyone has drunk cow milk, especially when they were young.  It ends up that there are two kinds of milk: that being A1 milk and A2 milk.  For most of the last five thousand years if you drank bovine milk you were drinking A2 milk.  There was a mutation in the gene responsible for casein protein formation such that A1 milk forms beta-casomorphin-7 when metabolized.  This peptide may affect people such that GI side effect...

Number 3 Artificial Sweeteners

October 12, 2020 03:21 - 23 minutes - 14.8 MB

Everyone is familiar with artificial sweeteners.  I now call these noncaloric artificial sweeteners, or NAS.  Most people have used these in an effort to cut down on calories as a part of weight loss or to prevent weight gain.  By now, most of you know this does not work. Many studies have shown the same thing.  This simply does not make any sense.  If you take in fewer calories, it seems you must lose weight. What's going on here. I am going to review a scientific article, Artificial swee...

Number 1 Tampons and Cancer

October 01, 2020 02:11 - 24 minutes - 17.4 MB

I will explain some of the anatomy of the pelvic cavity, specifically, the peritoneal cavity.  There recently was a lawsuit regarding the use of talcum powder and ovarian cancer.  At first this may sound ridiculous, but after listening, it may not be so crazy.  I discuss tampons, but really this applies to anything that arrives in the vagina.

Number 2 weight loss for Women

September 20, 2020 00:27 - 18 minutes - 13.9 MB

This is number two in health topics.  It is a brief review for for using the ketogenic diet for fat loss in women.  For further information you should consider going to my website, kellygregg.com, and getting the book Ketogenic Diet for Beginners or, as I would prefer Diet and Health. Most have heard of the ketogenic diet and this podcast lets you know what it is.  It is an overview and not a detailed guide, but even then if this is all you have you will be able to use your common sense and...
