Jackie is the co-host of the Big Money Show which airs Monday through Friday at 1 PM EST on the FOX Business Network. Jackie has been a guest on our program before and has shared her health journey with breast cancer. 

Her breast cancer was first identified at the time of her first mammogram which was done when she was 40. Much to her astonishment, the mammogram was abnormal, consistent with breast cancer, and she outlines her diagnosis and surgical course over the past few years.

The big take-home message is to get screened appropriately, understand your family and personal risk factors for breast cancer, and strive to maintain a healthy lifestyle that will reduce your risk of not only breast cancer, but other chronic disease.

In this episode, we introduce you to Michael Varieur. He is a father of three young children and takes cooking for his family quite seriously. Mike is a tinkerer in the kitchen, experimenting with new techniques always trying to figure out a new and better way to prepare food. 

While he admits that he is not perfect in the meals he prepares, meaning that some of them are not the most nutritious, he is Willing to experiment and strive to make a better meal from scratch. 

I highlight my Mike because from my vantage point in the clinic, listening to patients with chronic disease all day long, the vast majority of them do not feel very comfortable cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. There is a certain level of dependency on processed foods, drive through, and lackluster meals made at home. There isn't much excitement these days in the kitchen or around the kitchen table. 

This situation needs to change if we are going to rescue the health and wellness of our children and combat the chronic disease that millions upon millions of Americans face.

This week on the radio, doctor Galati talked about Wellness strategies for the upcoming year in 2024. The key take away is that everybody has a good understanding of various health metrics including your weight and body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, liver chemistries, and blood glucose.

Good health never happens by accident. Wellness is something that is the result of paying attention to your own health details, and commitment to a healthy lifestyle.

Obesity is the #1 public health concern we face in America. With 75% of adults overweight or obese, this is no small problem. This damaging obesity is the belly fat around the mid-section, which triggers inflammation and tissue damage throughout the body, including the heart and liver.

The untucked shirt movement, which doesn't even look that good from a fashion standpoint, is a cover-up for the expanding girths we are facing. Instead of realizing your clothes are getting tight (due to obesity), and plan to cut down what you're eating and exercise more, the only change is to get clothes that are designed to cover the problem-your gut.

We cannot simply hide the expanding waistline with a cleverly tailored shirt. Resist the untucked movement. Push away from the table, exercise more, and visit your healthcare team. It's that important.

It is always a pleasure to have Anahad O'Connor from the NY Times on the radio and podcast joining me. Anahad is one of the rising start at the NY Times, and has written some of the best medical and health related articles recently.

Over the past several weeks, he has written an article titled: Supplements and Diets for Heart Health Show Limited Proof of Benefit-

Some supplements may actually be harmful for cardiovascular health.

The second article we discussed was: Cutting 300 Calories a Day Shows Health Benefits. Yes...cutting out 300 calories a day may save your life (we hope). Both articles (and this podcast) will stimulate smart conversations, for sure.

What a story! Ed Henry from Fox News donated about 30% of his liver to his sister that was in need of a liver transplant as a result of end-stage liver disease. Through a series of amazing twists, I was was asked to appear on Fox and Friends last week to help explain live liver donation, organ transplant, and the overall liver transplant process to the Fox and Friends audience. During this broadcast, Ed Henry announced his decision to donate, in a very emotional segment. For most that saw this genuine outpouring of emotion from Ed, they were very much unfamiliar with organ donation and transplant, let alone a partial liver donation and transplant, and the eventual regeneration of both the donor's liver (i.e. Ed) and his sister who received the transplant (i.e. 30% to 100% in a matter of weeks after transplant).

While we all enjoy these type of human interest stories on TV or the web, this story has struck a chord with America, seeing both the raw emotion displayed, but also the amazing good that organ donation and transplant achieves. Being a small part of this story has been an amazing experience for me, and one I can only hope continues to foster discussion, understanding, awareness, and hope for those thousands of people that are awaiting a transplant.

Check out a video highlight of the story.

For information on ORGAN DONATION, check out this link. Discuss with your family today your wish to be an organ and tissue donor.

Thanks for listening. Send me an e-mail with your comments.

Dr. Joe Galati is back from his Sicilian vacation, and in Segment 1, he shares some of the things he learned while traveling through the countryside, learning about the people and food of Sicily. There, the Mediterranean Diet is taken seriously, and displayed at every meal they make.

In Segment 2, Dr. Galati talk about how he takes care of patients with "complication" related to diabetes, obesity, fatty liver, GERD, and how the common thread is poor eating habits that leads to obesity - thus obesity is the common thread to obesity.

In Episode 6, Dr. Joe Galati shares his experience while on the road traveling to Sicily. With his Sicilian roots, Dr. Galati digs deep into the Sicilian culture through the centuries, and how all of this has impacted the food that is eaten on this relatively small island just off the coast of Italy. Sicily embodies the best of the "Mediterranean Diet", but with their own twist. With a diet high in local vegetables, fruits, nuts, herbs and spices, and of course, olive oil, the Sicilian way of eating is optimal for health and wellness.

Dr. Galati is joined by Eszter Vajda, an expert new anchor, reporter, and journalist, who is the creator and co-executive producer of "You Me & Sicily!" with Alfred M. Zappala. A true Sicilian expert, Eszter shares some of her experiences with Dr. Galati about both the history and culture of Sicily, but also the food.

One of the olive oils from Sicily to consider using is ASARO Olive Oil.

We are all eager to hear from you regarding the Sicilian way of eating. Can you give it a try?

Check out our latest webinar series replay where we discussed nutrition, FODMAP diet and intestinal gas, and the intestinal microbiome.

The American Heart Association posted an excellent page on the 8 Essentials of Health. Simple and straight forward, following these guidelines will result in better health.

FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols, which are short-chain carbohydrates (sugars) that the small intestine absorbs poorly. Some people experience digestive distress after eating them. Some of the symptoms that people may develop, if they are intolerant of these foods high in fodmap, include stomach bloating and distention, intestinal gas and flatulence, diarrhea, constipation, and cramps.

With a low FODMAP diet, you are eliminating foods that are high in FODMAP. Once your intestinal symptoms improve, it would be appropriate to slowly resume their consumption to see which one of these foods causes you intestinal problems. If you're fortunate to identify these foods, you would want to avoid or limit them while not worrying too much about the other foods that aren't problematic for you.

In this podcast, I speak with Lauren Mahesri, registered dietitian with Liver Specialists of Texas. Lauren will outline the approach to intestinal gas, the low FODMAP diet, the pros and cons of such a diet, and how to approach certain food sensitivities. For more information on FODMAP diet and foods that are both high and low, follow the links that we include for you below.

This week we share with you a brief podcast episode which came from this past Sunday evening. On the radio, I talked about the various mentoring activities I been involved in over the past several years, working with high school students through young entrepreneur's. The theme of personal and business success is commitment, a sincere desire to achieve, put in the time, and do not take any shortcuts. It dawned on me that these same methodologies applied to your own good health. To remain healthy, you need to remain committed. You also need a sincere approach to your own health and not take shortcuts. Just like working towards a successful career takes time, not putting in the time for her own health is associated with less than adequate results.

Feel free to share this podcast with those you feel would benefit most. Of course we want you to follow us along on your favorite podcast site making sure you never miss a single episode.

Getting perfectly honest with yourself, are you, right now, prepare to undergo any kind of emergency surgery, emergency procedure, or face an unexpected health crisis? It's very well known that if you are not in optimal medical health, any type of minor emergency that you face is going to be associated with unwanted complications. Those individuals that have chronic medical conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, liver disease, and kidney disease are going to fare far worse than those without these chronic conditions. So with that said, what are you doing to prepare yourself for these possible scenarios? The vast majority of chronic illnesses can be medically managed (or better yet prevented) reducing the risk of these medical/surgical complications. 

With the New Year starting, this would be a great objective for all of us. Take inventory, see what health and wellness issues need to be addressed, and get it taken care of.

This week on , we spent time talking about modifiable risk factors to reduce your chance of developing cancer. The special guest this week was oncologist Susan Escudier, who practices at Texas Oncology .

With regard to cancer, there are multiple modifiable lifestyle changes that can have a big impact on the eventual risk for cancer and its development. The American Cancer Society recently published data indicating that 42% of cancer cases and 45% of cancer deaths in the United states are linked to modifiable risk factors. In other words, these cases could be prevented. Based on recent data, that translates to 660,000 cancer cases and 265,000 cancer deaths that could have been prevented.

The main modifiable risk factors include smoking, secondhand smoke, obesity, excessive alcohol intake, eating red and processed meats, diets low in fruits and vegetables as well as dietary calcium, physical inactivity, UV radiation, and specific cancer associated infections including H. pylori, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpesvirus type 8, HIV, and human papilloma virus.

In the weeks to come on the radio, we are going to continue this series of modifiable lifestyle changes and focus on other disease states including heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, dementia, lung disease, and diabetes. Stay tuned for these upcoming programs. Make sure you sign up for our newsletter so that you stay up to date on all of these future learning activities will be sharing with you.

This is one of the shorter podcast episodes Doctors Galati is sharing with you. The central theme here is, once again, the cost of wellness. He shares a real-life story of a friend and colleague who has suddenly become ill. For most of us, these sudden illnesses are never planned or anticipated. They catch us when we least suspect it. As a result, ongoing lack of attention to your health and wellness does have its consequences when you are most vulnerable. If you have challenges with obesity, address it today; if you've been told that your physician that your cholesterol or blood sugar is just a “touch” elevated, address it today; if you just aren't feeling well, check in with your doctor today and get things addressed.

This past week on Your Health First, Dr. Briana Costello with the Texas Heart Institute, shared her experience on metabolic syndrome and its role in heart disease and fatty liver. Metabolic syndrome generally consists of: obesity (specifically belly fat), pre or type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and increased levels of cholesterol. Fatty liver is seen in the vast majority of such cases of metabolic syndrome. Unfortunately, those with metabolic syndrome have an increased chance of developing serious heart complication - such as heart attack, stroke, and premature death.

We have talked about this topic extensively in the past, but it is always worth bringing up again. Considering the patients we see, especially those with acute and chronic liver disease, there is a general misunderstanding of the importance of abnormal labs and other testing results. To maintain one's health, it is necessary to fully understand the implications of these abnormal lab test results, and similarly, abnormal x-rays or scans that are done.

Lauren McNamara, registered dietitian along with Natalie Amante, physician assistant, sat down and spoke with DR. JOE GALATI regarding the role of nutrition, obesity, and metabolic syndrome in the eventual development, and reversal, of non alcoholic fatty liver disease. Fatty liver disease is the leading cause of chronic inflammation of the liver, the leading cause of cirrhosis and liver cancer, and the leading disease of the liver that ultimately results in the need for a liver transplant.

The vast majority of the cases of fatty liver disease are a direct result of obesity, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol or triglycerides, and hypertension. Collectively these disorders are called metabolic syndrome.
