“My Lp(a) is high. Now what?”

Nuvance Health interventional cardiologist Dr. Intwala recently joined The Dusty Muffins to help break down what lipoprotein(a) is and what actually happens if your Lp(a) test comes back elevated.

In this conversation, they walk through the medication options that *may* be considered and why there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Depending on overall cardiovascular risk, providers may look at statins, non-statin oral medications or injectable therapies that help lower LDL cholesterol and, in some cases, Lp(a). 💊💉

Here’s what many people don’t realize:

Lp(a) is still a relatively new focus in cardiology. While we understand what elevated levels can signal, clinical trials are ongoing to better understand how lowering Lp(a) impacts long-term heart health and outcomes. 🔬📊

If you think your levels may be high, start the conversation with your healthcare provider. Ask about testing. Stay informed. Knowledge is often the first step toward prevention. ❤️

Myth-busting viral winter wellness hacks with Dr. Guttmann, Part 3 ❄️

Oil pulling, vitamin D supplements and hot water are often shared as quick ways to “boost” your immune system. But what does the science actually say?

Dr. Guttmann explains where evidence supports certain approaches, including when a low dose of vitamin D may make sense, and why most quick fixes aren’t the answer.

The takeaway: a strong immune system isn’t built on trends. It’s built on consistent, proven habits.

Watch the final part of our immune myth series and let us know if you’ve tried any of these. ⬇️

Care doesn’t start at the bedside. 🏥

It starts with the teams who protect the environment where care happens. This month, we’re recognizing our Security Teams for the essential role they play in maintaining safe, supportive care environments for patients, staff and visitors across the region.

By supporting safety, preparedness and timely response, these teams help reinforce a culture of protection and trust so care teams can stay focused on delivering high-quality care.

Often behind the scenes but always essential, our Security Teams create the conditions that allow clinicians to focus on patients and communities to trust the care they receive.

We’re grateful for their professionalism, vigilance and commitment as Unsung Heroes! 👏💙

Student spotlight at Northern Dutchess Hospital ✨💙

We’re proud to highlight Katelyn Wiehe, a Fairfield University junior whose recent surgical shadowing experience at Northern Dutchess Hospital reflects the power of mentorship in medicine.

While shadowing Dr. Binetti, who has completed more than 2,100 robotic surgical cases, Katelyn gained firsthand insight into advanced surgical techniques, minimally invasive procedures and the rapid evolution of robotics in patient care. Just as meaningful, she experienced the compassion, professionalism and teamwork that define our OR.

Her passion for medicine and commitment to empathy, courage and excellence made a lasting impression on our team. Experiences like these help shape the next generation of physicians and strengthen the future of care in our community.

Thank you to Dr. Binetti and our surgical team for investing in mentorship, and to Katelyn for bringing her curiosity and dedication to NDH. 💙

Movement is medicine. 💊

Dr. James Nitzkorski shares reasons why staying active can help lower the risk of developing cancer, including keeping inflammation in the body and stress levels in check.

The best part? It doesn’t have to be hours at the gym. A walk with a friend, a quick bike ride or shooting hoops with your kids all count. Adding a social element makes it more fun and more sustainable.
