  • 108 - Increased Alcohol Abuse

    Dr. Joe Galati last week was on the radio with Frank Morano onTHE OTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT. The show airs every evening between 1:00-5:00 a.m. EST on 77-WABC out of New York. Dr. Galati was discussing new data from the CDC on increased deaths from alcohol over the past few years.


    A new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealing a significant increase in alcohol-related deaths in the United States, with nearly 500 Americans dying each day in 2021. The spike began during the Covid pandemic and continued to rise after lockdowns in 2020. The study highlights a higher death rate among men but a quicker increase among women. Factors contributing to the surge include pandemic stress and increased availability of alcohol through home-delivery services. Binge drinking is also on the rise, particularly among middle-aged adults. Policy suggestions to address this issue include increasing alcohol prices through taxes, limiting sales, and promoting counseling. Additionally, new research is linking alcohol use even in moderation to harmful effects on health, debunking previous beliefs about the health benefits of alcohol, including red wine.

  • 106 - Fatty Liver and Heart Disease

    Over the past several weeks, we have been highlighting the connection between fatty liver and heart disease.


    This is a topic that we feel is not receiving enough discussion. The majority of individuals with fatty liver suffer from a constellation of disorders which is called metabolic syndrome. Within metabolic syndrome, patients have truncal obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol or triglycerides. This particular risk profile put you at high risk for the development of fatty liver but also for serious heart disease.


    Patients with fatty liver have a far more aggressive form of heart disease, with the increased risk of fatal complications in the event of a heart attack. In many cases, both the patient and primary care physicians underestimate the cardiovascular risk associated with fatty liver disease and unfortunately ignore these risk factors.


    This past week’s episode of Your Health First highlighted this discussion. We had Dr. Mazen Noureddin, an expert in fatty liver and fatty liver research, as well as Dr. Randeep Suneja, and acclaimed cardiologist here in Houston. Together they outlined the nature of the public health risk, and steps to take to combat it.

    With Dr. Kodali, we discussed the benefits of home cooking, and strategies to accomplish this while trying to manage busy work and family schedules. Considering the increasing rates in childhood obesity, as well as the continued concern for obesity in adults, cooking at home and controlling the ingredients, is a most important first Step to regaining control.


    The major concern with childhood and adult obesity relates to the development of chronic disease including fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, elevated cholesterol, kidney disease, cancer, and premature death.
