So their sex lives aren't quite as enthusiastic 30 00:02:31,16 --> 00:02:36,97 as the used to be and maybe they would like to be so what are some things that you 31 00:02:36,98 --> 00:02:42,00 go over in your course well my course is very poor what I've been endocrinologist 32 00:02:42,01 --> 00:02:48,89 Yeah I deal with hormones and I deal with obesity I deal with 33 00:02:48,90 --> 00:02:53,93 side really so we go over that in specifics but I also leave 34 00:02:53,94 --> 00:02:59,97 a lot of time available for discussing health policy how to figure out. 35 00:03:01,04 --> 00:03:02,29 Or how to choose 36 00:03:02,49 --> 00:03:09,48 a physician that's appropriate for your particular needs I talk about the articles 37 00:03:09,49 --> 00:03:15,59 that pop up all the time in the news media that talk about different diets the 38 00:03:15,60 --> 00:03:21,16 right audience about the changes in cholesterol five years ago cholesterol was the 39 00:03:21,17 --> 00:03:23,49 energy now cholesterol isn't such 40 00:03:23,50 --> 00:03:28,66 a bad right and you know that confuses people that it confuses physicians as well 41 00:03:28,67 --> 00:03:35,30 yeah yeah so we talk about that and the recommendations that these medical groups 42 00:03:35,31 --> 00:03:41,76 Merican Heart Association American College of Cardiology have changed the rules of 43 00:03:41,77 --> 00:03:48,00 who or what. To be treated for high cholesterol and what the goals are so it's 44 00:03:48,01 --> 00:03:54,15 changing all the time and I talk about all of that I try to give people an idea 45 00:03:54,50 --> 00:04:00,11 of how do interpret the information that they're getting because there's so much 46 00:04:00,12 --> 00:04:06,88 information both good and bad online and most people who get online 47 00:04:06,89 --> 00:04:13,05 contact and they go to some place to find out what they want to know and often it's 48 00:04:13,06 --> 00:04:19,64 wrong or right. You know in the over the years we've had some nutritionists on 49 00:04:20,29 --> 00:04:26,69 and one of them in particular I like very much. With the age well senior 50 00:04:26,70 --> 00:04:33,64 services and all and whenever I talk to nutritionists they kind 51 00:04:33,65 --> 00:04:38,46 of go through kind of the same thing you just said. You know one minute you're not 52 00:04:38,47 --> 00:04:42,37 supposed to drink wine the next and if it's OK you know on and on and on all these 53 00:04:42,38 --> 00:04:45,19 different things and the underlying factor that 54 00:04:45,20 --> 00:04:51,42 a lot of times I get from them is. You know be sensible about things I think most 55 00:04:51,43 --> 00:04:58,06 people know what is good and bad for them. They still may eat it now and then but 56 00:04:58,07 --> 00:05:00,82 you kind of intrinsically know that this is probably 57 00:05:00,83 --> 00:05:03,61 a little bit better for you than that but it doesn't mean 58 00:05:03,65 --> 00:05:10,43 a lot of that is really great for you right so if it's so much of this particular 59 00:05:10,47 --> 00:05:15,96 item that is nutritious it's good for you eating ten times that much isn't it in 60 00:05:15,97 --> 00:05:22,41 ten times as get Yeah that's absolutely true and that's really the key with this 61 00:05:22,45 --> 00:05:29,29 new recommendations about diet and fat you know fat it turns out is 62 00:05:29,30 --> 00:05:35,26 OK and this some recent data not really heart stuff but recent data suggesting that 63 00:05:35,27 --> 00:05:41,08 saturated fats which were the enemy three years ago they actually decrease your 64 00:05:41,09 --> 00:05:47,69 risk of heart disease so it's very very hard to know and you're absolutely right 65 00:05:47,93 --> 00:05:54,91 modify monitor moderation right in everything you do is the key and the 66 00:05:54,92 --> 00:06:01,85 current. Diet of choice is the Mediterranean diet Yes which 67 00:06:01,89 --> 00:06:08,66 is lots of vegetables lots of fruit olive oil nuts primarily walnuts right. 68 00:06:10,17 --> 00:06:14,91 Very little red meat and chicken fish are fine and 69 00:06:14,92 --> 00:06:19,58 a glass or two of wine depending on whether you're male or female right so that's 70 00:06:19,59 --> 00:06:22,51 another thing they talk about wine as 71 00:06:22,55 --> 00:06:28,68 a good thing for your heart but they don't talk about the fact that women 72 00:06:28,69 --> 00:06:34,67 metabolize alcohol much more poorly than men really do OK So men can have two 73 00:06:34,68 --> 00:06:41,05 glasses of wine women should only have one glass of wine ha but OK So I mean that's 74 00:06:41,06 --> 00:06:46,97 a kind of stuff that I know because I give them facts at least current facts you 75 00:06:46,98 --> 00:06:53,64 know that's changing. Right but I give them the current ideas about what is 76 00:06:53,78 --> 00:06:59,67 most appropriate OK now that has the semester started noticing parts next week OK 77 00:06:59,68 --> 00:07:03,35 starts next week and it was in January by they was and I wasn't sure yet so the 78 00:07:03,36 --> 00:07:09,15 still time for folks and I want to give them that if you go online to the Americas 79 00:07:09,16 --> 00:07:15,17 Program.
