XM radio's Dr. Daliah in the house!!! Ask away!!!

Never heard you on Sirius, but I think it's great that your taking time out of your busy day to help a bunch of truck drivers out, god bless ya.

 

Need some help with Cholestorol! Got my numbers back and they where around160.
Now i dont eat bad, while driving i snack on oranges,banannas, trailmix, gronola, fiber bars. if i do stop ill get a subway sandwich. I eat one hot meal aday which is generally dinner. Now for the worse part bad habbits: drink coffee by the gallons and smoke. So tell me why is my score so high? I walk every day, wieght is good BP is good.

 

Hello Dr. Daliah,
Sorry to bother you. But I am wondering if you were able to find any info on the machine I askd you about before? The so called venowave? I am thinking about buying it but Im on the fence.

 

Seems kind of an extreme measure, unless you doctor has recommended it. If you are truely worried about it these would be your first step and definately mush cheaper and practical

Well, I just came across an article on Overdrive Magazine. It talks about this gadget Venowave. I think that if the FDA and Health Canada aproved it for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) you shoud be safe buying it. I know it s more expensive than stockins ... but in my house only my wife wears stockings and I would like to keep it that way haha

You or your wife have clots ? or are you worried about getting one ?

 

Hi Dr. I have a question. What avenues are available to individuals who are slightly overweight in the mid-section, and over 45 seek who are looking to get a better handle on their minimum and needed dietary needs? I have a BCBS PPO plan. I'd like to see a dietician to make recommendations that I can live with. Also, is a Basal Metabolic rate assessment worth the costs if one is seriously interested in properly feeding the body?

I live in a small town, and the closest thing to a dietician I've seen is a nearby "Weight-Watchers" office. Does the medical community have certified dietitians that are available for office visits/consultations? I'm not even sure how to go about finding a dietitian. Or are we better off doing our own research and compilation of information found on the web and at Barnes and Noble?

 

I am buying it!
Have been waiting for more info but I think I have as much as I can get. Found it on ebay too... about 25% off!
Lets hope this Venowave is as good as it sounds preventing DVT and improving my circulation!

 

I am a bit worried abot getting one. My wife could use Venowave as well because she has poor circulation and a bad Varicose veins!

 

Get some walking in, when you stop to pee, park away from the building. Same with the T/S take one of the spots on the back forty. In other words take care of yourself, we need you around
