  • Do you drink #alkaline water?? What benefits can it provide (other than just #hydration )? This week’s episode of Your Doctor Friends #podcast does a deep dive into alkaline #water - and the #data to affirm or refute its claims of #cancer prevention, treatment of #heartburn and superior ability to #hydrate you! PS recording a reel in a #grocery store is stressful and embarrassing 😬 IDK how #health influencers stand it 😂
  • Amazing #marathon and #cpr story!! Our doctor friend, @elizasportsmd ran the #berlinmarathon last week and set a #personalrecord EVEN AFTER stopping to perform life-saving CPR on another runner who suffered #cardiacarrest - we call that a (c)PR! Eliza has been checking German media outlets, and although she has not been able to verify the full outcome of the runner she resuscitated, some German news sources reported that every #runner who required CPR at the Berlin Marathon (some sources say as many as 5!!) SURVIVED. Big kudos to Eliza for relying on her #sportsmedicine training, and rising to the occasion when another human being needed help. Thankfully other bystanders trained in CPR were available to assist! LEARN CPR! The @american_heart offers TONS of opportunities to become certified! YOU CAN SAVE A LIFE! Our episode with @therapidresponsern teaches you all about it too 😘 We posted the full interview with Dr. Pierko about this amazing feat on our YouTube channel- check it out! 👏 #lifesavers #emergency #preparation #runnersofinstagram #womenrunning #humanity
  • What’s the “right way” to use an #asthma inhaler?? I’ve had pretty well-controlled asthma for years, and I was taught to hold my #inhaler a couple inches away from my face when i inhale so the #medicine doesn’t just hit the back of my throat. I found a video from @cdcgov that recommended this approach. HOWEVER - #tv and #movies and #media always seem to show folks putting their asthma #rescue inhaler directly in their mouth to take a puff. I also found tons of videos from reputable sources like @lungassociation suggesting this method. Who’s right?? Mikey Walsh from Goonies, or Your Doctor Friend @juliabruenemd ?? Calling all #asthmatic folks, #respiratory #therapists (lookin at you @brady_phdad ), #pulmonologist and #allergist specialty people… what’s the consensus???
  • The @988lifeline is such an amazing resource. Listening to the automated greeting that @jeremyallandmd put in our most recent podcast episode, the kind, sincere voice just brought me (Julie) to tears. I could envision myself experiencing a hard emotional time, and I feel like hearing a voice say the words “you are not #alone - we #care and want to #support you” would be so calming. Spread the word on #988 - it’s for everyone, no problem too small, you’re never bothering the wonderful counselors who are there to help and provide #resources and support. Check out this week’s full episode of Your Doctor Friends podcast for a deep dive! #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #publichealth #prevention #health #community #education

  • Let’s talk #rhabdo 👏 So glad to hear that the Tufts #lacrosse players who suffered #rhabdomyolysis are all safe and home from the hospital. Thanks to @dr.jesssteier from @unbiasedscipod for sending me this story from @bostonglobe Rhabdo can be a medical #emergency as the toxic stuff that leaks out of damaged skeletal muscle (after particularly strenuous exercise, from a crush injury, or related to drugs/meds or genetic metabolic issues) can wreak havoc on the #kidneys and cause #heart #arrhythmia or even death. The key symptoms, according to @theamssm are #muscle pain and weakness, and dark, tea-colored urine. When caught and treated promptly folks can make a full recovery, but accurate and quick #diagnosis is key! Follow and listen to the pod for more #sportsmedicine insights! #podcast #health #exercise #education #prevention
