COLON CANCER

There is a lot of attention on colon cancer, especially with celebrities such as James Van Der Beek and Chadwick Bozeman dying young from the disease.

Colon cancer is the third most common cancer and colon cancer diagnosis has been increasing over the last 10+ years by around 2.9% per year specifically in the under 50 age group. Around 10% of people diagnosed with colon cancer are diagnosed under age 50.

Because of this, screening is now recommended to start at age 45 with colonoscopy being the gold standard of screening. Unfortunately, this is still resulting in cases of colon cancer going undiagnosed until they are more advanced.

Things you can do to be proactive for early diagnosis and preventing colon cancer.

1. Start screening at age 45 and if you have any family history or major risk factors for colon cancer, talk to your doctor about possibly starting screening earlier

2. Pay attention to your stools. Watch for blood mixed into the stool, consistent changes in stool size caliber (thin pencil-sized or ribbon-like stool), persistent bowel habit changes, or pain with bowel movements.

3. Limit your risks!
a. AVOID: smoking, alcohol, processed foods, specifically processed meats/smoked meats.

b. ADD: increase dietary fiber, something most of us don’t get enough of, exercise regularly, make sure you’re getting enough vitamin D (deficiency is associated with increased rates of colon cancer).

If you are concerned that you may be having changes that put you at risk or you have more questions, talk to your primary care, doctor about the best way to navigate screening and risk reduction. A lot of people think it is a waste of time to come in and see your doctor. If you don’t have a problem but we love preventative health visits!

🔥 SAUNA 🔥

Sauna use can be a great adjunct treatment to your fitness program. Here are a few benefits:

1. Pain management: studies show heat therapy and mobility work such as tai chi can be very beneficial for chronic aches and pains we often see with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia.

2. Muscle recovery- Sauna can help boost proteins such as heat shock proteins and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) as well as boosting growth hormone and regulating enzymes apart of muscle recovery. Several studies have shown that this can aid in improved recovery and decreased soreness following workouts.

3. Decreased anxiety- sauna use helps to transition from the sympathetic nervous system activation. We get with workouts (fight or flight) to the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest).

4. Improved sleep- studies show up to 83% of people studied reported better sleep with regular sauna use

5. Improved circulation and possible improvement in autonomic regulation. May benefit cardiovascular health.

There is also emerging science that there may be some cognitive protection and support of immune health associated with sauna use.

Typical Sauna use:
•5-20 min at a time
•2-5 times per week (daily is likely safe for most people)
• best used right after a workout

Recommendations:
• talk to your doctor about appropriate use. There are certain medications that can lower heat tolerance and certain conditions that may make the risk exceed the benefit of use.

•HYDRATE-before, during, and after use

•LISTEN TO YOUR BODY- avoid overheating.

•RELAX- use this time as a mental health break as well. Try meditating and breath work to allow yourself to connect with your body during this recovery time to maximize benefit.

Heat therapy with sauna is certainly not a cure all and may not be the best thing for everyone, but can be a good adjunct to your healthy exercise and recovery program.

Cold, white, numb or painful fingertips?

It could be Raynaud’s Syndrome!

There are two types:

Primary: often hereditary, and we don’t know the cause, something known as “idiopathic.”

Secondary: often associated with auto immune disease, smoking, or other conditions or medications

Stress/excitement (adrenaline), caffeine, and alcohol can also be triggers.

What is happening? The small vessels in the fingertips spasm, decreasing blood flow, which often gives the fingertips a white appearance. When the fingertips haven’t gotten enough oxygen, sometimes they can even turn blue or red as the body is trying to restore blood flow.

Prevention:
•Avoid drastic temperature changes
• Keep hands warm by keeping gloves/warm socks on hand, using hot hands, or even bawling up the hands into a fist and keeping close to the body as symptoms start #
• minimize stress
• avoid to***co use, including va**ng

Treatment:
1. Keeping hands warm is usually enough for most people and they don’t need further treatment.
2. There are oral and topical medications that can help but sometimes these have side effects. Be sure and discuss your other medications and health history with your doctor.
3. In extreme cases, there are procedures, such as Botox and nerve surgery that can help.

Raynaud’s syndrome is usually not dangerous, but see your doctor if you are having severe pain, ulcers, if your symptoms are progressing, if you’re a smoker, or if you are over 35 years old and your symptoms are of sudden onset.

If you think you may have this, be sure and discuss with your doctor for a treatment plan that is right for you!

♟️ CHESS on Broadway ♟️
with Task Force for Dancer Health ✨

What an amazing show, ! We had the great privilege of having the best seats, getting to go backstage, and even heard a bit of the talkback with the show’s outstanding performers!

I loved hearing these very accomplished performers share their tips for success, much of which involved great health advice regarding optimizing physical health before and during the run and protecting mental health by leaning into other interests outside of the show during free time.

As performers, it can be really easy to get tunnel vision when it comes to the show at hand, pouring everything into the performances and not leaving much else. I love that these performers understand and are sharing with the performers of tomorrow, the importance of prioritizing healthy choices and self-care.

I also love to see that Broadway has such a great medical team keeping them going which is critical for such a demanding show. All performers deserve a dedicated medical team just like athletes to help them navigate the challenges of injury and illness!

Thank you Chess/Broadway physician, , and amazing stage manager, Lisa Lacucci, for putting together and keeping everyone healthy and safe for such a great show.

✨ Happy New Year ✨

My New Year’s resolution is to use social media in a healthier way!

Did you know increased social media use leads to increased rates of anxiety, decrease in attention and focus, and can disrupt sleep patterns (associated with scrolling at night and staring into a bright phone).

There is even an addictive potential related to the dopamine hits associated with scrolling.

There are healthier ways to use these platforms!

1. Be intentional about what you are coming on to social media platforms to do. Follow good resources for evidence based information and news and things that make you happy. Come on for a specific purpose, and once that purpose has been accomplished, log off.

2. Limit social media used to a specific time of day. Give it a planned schedule if you need to use it instead of frequently checking throughout the day. Avoid checking all notifications or turning off notifications so it’s not constantly something you feel compelled to do.

3. Set time limits for use to avoid getting carried away. The University of Maine found that the average American adult spends almost 2 1/2 hours a day on social media platforms and teens spend closer to five hours.
Think of all the free time you would have if you weren’t wasting it on social media to do things for better self-care and a better relationships!

This is something that I plan to make a priority for my own health and I hope you will too!
