After 29 years of practicing medicine next door to the Vista Theater- I think it is important to share this story- ( from my favorite British Cardiologist)- because this has absolutely been my experience!

I look forward to working with new patients- and am delighted to have gathered a wonderful group of longtime humans under my care!

Let me know how I can be of service:

Last patient of the day saw me loading a guitar into the trunk of my car.
-“I didn’t know you played….”

( well - because it is Valentine’s Day…. here is a glimpse of what I like to do when I’m not at the office):

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Surprisingly simple… but helpful when you are feeling overwhelmed-

Be careful about where you get your health information-

I just watched the “ Medical Medium” claim that eating salmon was NOT an effective way to boost Omega-3s- because somehow it overtaxes our liver & kidneys so we only absorb a tiny fraction.
This claim is absolutely absurd-
SCIENCE ( & lab testing) shows that we absorb 95%.

Witness this exchange:
Someone tells me that
scientific proof is just a “ human guess”- but the words of Anthony- are truth!!!

Some thoughts on the new upside-down food pyramid…( though I AM in favor of full fat dairy-& like that there’s a slab of kerrygold butter in the center ).

Homer lays down the law when one of his children (Bart) disobeys one of the house rules!

A major 15-year study published in *JAMA Internal Medicine* has revealed that added sugar may pose a greater risk to heart health than cholesterol itself—more than doubling the chance of dying from heart disease, even in people who are not overweight.

Researchers found that individuals who consumed 25% or more of their daily calories from added sugar were over twice as likely to die from heart disease compared to those who consumed less than 10%. This risk held true regardless of age, weight, activity levels, or cholesterol numbers, making sugar intake a universal concern.

The biggest culprits include sugary drinks, desserts, candy, sweetened cereals, and fruit drinks. Excess sugar can raise blood pressure and trigger the liver to release harmful fats into the bloodstream. The American Heart Association recommends keeping daily sugar intake under 6 teaspoons for women and 9 teaspoons for men, but just one soda can exceed these limits. Small swaps, like fruit-infused seltzer or naturally sweetened snacks, can make a big difference in protecting your heart.
