  The Have You Ever Health Challenge

  Aug 21, 202616 minS1

  Dr. Vickie is celebrating her birthday this week and instead of a lecture, she's inviting you to play along with her "Have You Ever" health challenge. From childhood stitches and broken bones to 14 surgeries, a vocal cord paralysis that left her speechless for five weeks, and a wheelchair mishap on an airport moving sidewalk that nearly ended in disaster, Dr. Vickie opens up about the messier chapters of her medical history. She also shares her diagnosis of myasthenia gravis, a rare autoimmune disease that once left her unable to walk 100 feet, and how removing her thymus gland helped her reach years of remission. Along the way, she talks candidly about a diabetes scare brought on by high-dose prednisone, and how plant-based eating, sleep, and stress management helped her reverse it. The episode closes with a personal reflection on life, death, and faith, including a poem Dr. Vickie wrote after her grandmother passed away on her own birthday. How many of these health experiences can you check off? Play along, and then tell Dr. Vickie: how does healthy look on you? Mentioned in this episode: Sleep Solutions

  Prevent Blood Sugar Spikes and Crashes

  Aug 14, 202618 minS3

  Blood Sugar Spikes: What's Normal, What's Not, and How to Keep Your Energy Steady It's totally normal for your blood sugar to rise after you eat, but what happens next is what really matters. In this episode of Mini Medical School, we break down insulin's job, why some blood sugar spikes leave you feeling "blah" (yes, that's a real symptom we talk about), and why the crash can feel worse than the spike itself. We're playing a little game of good carb/bad carb: why refined sugars and stripped-down grains send your blood sugar soaring, while fiber-rich complex carbs create a slow, steady rise instead. Plus, we cover the sneaky non-food factors that spike blood sugar too: poor sleep, caffeine, and stress. You'll learn about the Glycemic Index, get a few easy carb swaps, and hear why pairing carbs with protein and fat (and even the order you eat your plate) can make a difference. We'll also cover what to do after the fact if you overdo it on dessert, because we've all been there. Plus, you'll learn why beans might be the most underrated blood-sugar-friendly food out there. I've included a new tropical breakfast recipe: the Beana Colada. RESOURCES: Arkansas Heart Hospital Glycemic Index Guide Healthy Looks Great on You 7 Minute Starter Kit

  Electrolyte Balance: To Replace or Not

  Jul 24, 202614 minS3

  Dumping Gatorade on a coach's head started as an act of revenge in 1984 and somehow became a $22-a-box industry of electrolyte powders you may not even need. In this episode, we're heading to mini medical school to break down what electrolytes actually do, how your kidneys and brain quietly keep them in balance without you lifting a finger, and why that balance can fall apart with sweat, fever, vomiting, or diarrhea. We'll talk about: What's really in your CMP lab panel (and why it matters) The unsung heroes: sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, and bicarbonate Why some people are salty sweaters (literally) and others aren't The truth about Liquid IV, Pedialyte, Nuun, and med spa IV drips - what's worth it and what's just marketing A golf-course cramping story that taught me this lesson the hard way If you've ever stood in the supplement aisle wondering whether you actually need electrolytes or just need water, this episode is for you. Healthy balance looks great on you so tune in to find out where you land.
