Dr. Clemenson is an Internal Medicine physician
specializing in non-invasive cardiology.
On today’s show, Dr. Clemenson discusses a new study that suggest heart stints and bypasses may not be as effective as the medical world would like you to think. In fact, exercise, quitting smoking, eating healthy and lifestyle changes may be the key to keeping your heart in good condition. Especially in those who are on the downward spiral towards needing a stint/bypass.

The doctor also talks about inflammation and the warning signs of stroke or heart attack. Anyone who is currently on statins should listen to what Dr. Clemenson is discussing and see discuss with their medical team about whether or not they should be/able to try these new scanning techniques.
Another great reminder as we enter into the holiday season, Dr. Clemenson has some tips for keeping yourself healthy during the food heavy holidays.
1. Avoid the buffet rule – which is “them that eats the most wins.” Your belt will thank you!
2. Be careful of second helpings.
3. Use small plates – it seems like more!
4. Use less of the fatty gravy
5. Cut down on sugar desserts
6. A pie can be cut into 10-12 pieces rather than 8. One more piece is too much.
7. Thanksgiving for the Pilgrims was a picnic. Less formal is more fun.
8. Know the word “schmootz.” It means that a piece of food went astray on the chin or the cheek…or anywhere else on the face. It is perfectly polite to say, “Excuse me, but you have a schmootz.” To be really helpful – point to the location on your own face.
9. Share the good family stories and try to avoid the embarrassing ones – especially for your teenagers.
10. Avoid politics at all costs – it raises everyone’s blood pressure. Remember that you have to live with these people!
One extra…
11. Dr. Hella at IMA Healthcare would be glad to see you about weight loss.
