This is an I-Heart podcast. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, luckily, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend's been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.

Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That seems inappropriate. maybe find out how it ends by listening to the okay storytime podcast and the iHeart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts this is the ben and ashley i almost famous podcast with ihart radio welcome back to the almost famous podcast it's been coming to you from beautiful lake tahoe it's always good to check in and get some doctorly advice as we're here today summer is in full swing and while we're here in lake tahoe i've got some questions that i think only a doctor could

answer the doctor is in and we're here with golden bachelorette guy ganser guy this is at like a health focused episode there's a lot of questions especially as we're kind of in the heart of summer with people having family gatherings and cookouts and sometimes i don't know if you feel this way guy or if you notice this when you practice medicine but in the summer i kind of forget about my health like i mean i i get outside a lot but i'm just all like kind of always so busy that i don't really take time to be like, hey, am I feeling okay? Like, why am I a little more sluggish and normal? So we're here just to throw some questions your way, if that's okay. Absolutely. I will put out a disclaimer that some of the questions may be out of my scope of practice,

per se, but I do have an interest in a broad array of topics in medicine itself, not just emergency medicine, which was my specialty or is my specialty. Yeah, sure. Well, if there's anything here that comes up that you're like hey i don't feel comfortable asking this you should ask uh you should google it like every good good good person does dr google doctor google we're going to start with allergies here now we have a big group we're uh at an almost famous pickleball tournament in lake tahoe we have a big group of people here i am preparing right now for our evening spread but one thing that's come up over the years of doing these events is there's always uh allergies that that I have to be careful from.

Is there any types of food just off the bat that stand out to you that like I should stay away from tonight as we plan this dinner? Yeah, I guess, you know, whether it's you or just the general population, there are certain foods that are commonly known or more commonly known to cause allergies. Certain fruits like strawberries,

people have a lot of insensitivity or sensitive these too. Nuts are a big one, whether that's peanuts, different types of nuts. And then really, you know, in, you can have an allergic reaction to anything under the sun, as I used to tell patients, is anything can actually cause an allergic reaction, anywhere from food to environmental, you know, stimulants to, you know, temperatures outside, a lot of, almost anything can cause it. Most of the time when we see somebody with allergic reaction, because I'd see them often in the emergency room,

I'd say that 90% of the time we never figured out what was causing their allergic reaction sometimes it's very obvious somebody would come in and they just took some penicillin and all of a sudden they developed an allergic reaction or they

ate some peanuts or they got exposed to something that they knew they had an allergy to but oftentimes you can't you can't figure it out at least not on the initial evaluation they are and so you have to be kind of aware of it, anything can do it. But most people usually start to become aware of what they're sensitive to and what they're

not before, you know, or at least this stage in our lives. But that's, that's an interesting point, though, because one thing that came up this trip for the first time, and one of the reasons why I wanted to bring you on to talk about it, was after 30 years of life, our producer, Heather, had eaten avocados forever. and then all of a sudden she develops an allergy to them and you know it comes in on the list of allergies that we have to be careful of but the note was you know I ate it for 30 years and all of some I'm allergic is that comment I've never heard of that yeah actually it's more common you think it it would be because you know I get I see once again I'd see that a lot

in the emergency department they said I didn't eat anything or wasn't exposed to anything because I'd go through this list of questions with them to try to determine you know what the precipitating you know allergen was and And so people would say, you know, I've eaten strawberries all my life or I've eaten shrimp on my life and all of a sudden you develop an allergic reaction to it. So, you know, why you develop it later in life is kind of one of the great mysteries of immunology, you know. You know, we feel like it or we believe it's, you know, due to sensitization so that you

get exposed to whatever the allergen is, you know, and that can be food, that can be external pollens, anything. And so you get exposed to it and your immune system recognizes that as a foreign body or something that, you know, they don't like to see. And then you subsequently develop and, you know, some of the, you know, there's certain types of cells and stuff and allergic type of cells that will then be sensitized so that when you keep getting exposed to it, then at some point, it just, it pops out. So, you know, what you're doing is we're just getting, you've been exposed to it over the years. And then at some

point, your body just says, I've had enough and, and you have this allergic reaction to it. It's so interesting because I feel like, too, in, like, my kind of generation, I'm hearing more and more about peanut allergies or people having, you know, they're being lactose intolerant. I mean, when I was a child, drank a lot of milk. I remember my parents drink a lot of milk. They no longer drink like milk today because it messes with their bodies. I don't drink milk straight anymore because it messes with my body. So is it kind of the common thing that you're talking about there as it feels like these things are more prevalent now than I ever remember them being?

Yeah, I, you know, it's interesting. And one of the things that, you know, when I'd be listening to like, you know, on allergic reactions and stuff, is that, is it some of these specialists would just say, you know, we just don't eat enough dirt anymore. And, you know, as, you know, when I was growing up in, you know, the 60s and 70s and stuff, years outside, nobody even thought about allergies. Nobody thought about allergic reactions. Nobody carried in an epipan. I mean, that was unheard of. And I think it was just, so we think that, you know, this, you know, it's just develops because if you are exposed to it all the time, then you, you know, your body's used to it.

If it's not, then you're more likely to have an allergy. When you talk about like food allergies, when you talk about like milk, that's a, you know, most of the time, I mean, you can have an allergy to milk, but normally it's an intolerance. For example, with milk, it contains lactose, which is the milk sugar. And in your intestines, you actually have an enzyme called lactase. it breaks it down and as you get older you don't you don't make as much of the lactase and so when you know so when you have some ice cream or some milk or whatever it might be the dairy product then you have an intolerance and usually the result in that case is you know GI sentimentology you know with

loose stools bloating cramping those things so one of the the biggest sadnesses of getting older is my lack of ability to eat ice cream anymore it makes me very sad It's not fun. It's, you know, it's interesting, you know, because my father had lactose intolerance and he loved ice cream. I absolutely loved it. I just, I can't eat it. I mean, he'd have one, you know, one mouthful and he'd be paying for it the rest of the

night, so. Yeah, and everybody else, too. The big thing hitting kind of the airways right now is we have some celebrities coming out that they have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. We're switching gears here from allergens to some other health topics. both that affect, you know, men and women and also men and women specifically. Prostate cancer is obviously one that affects men. Celebrities are coming out kind of talking about their journey with prostate cancer.

Is it as prevalent as it seems right now? Has it become more prevalent? Also, if you don't mind in the course of kind of answering this question, how would I check myself for prostate cancer as a 36-year-old male? Yeah. So with prostate cancer, you know, the adage is if you live long enough as a male, you're going to develop prostate cancer at some point. You know, one of the reasons that we're seeing, you know, increased number of people being diagnosed with it probably stems from the fact that we're living longer. You know, so prostate cancer is, it's a disease of older men, typically 50 and

over 60 you know that's when you start to see the increased rise um and what's happening is is we're living longer um so for example you know in 1960 i think the uh life expectancy for male was about 67 uh now it's 79 almost 80 so we're just seeing more people that go into the that that time frame when you start to develop prostate cancer and then the other is is there that we're more aware of it and we have a screening test for it. And you would ask like, how do you, you know, check yourself? Well, I'd say the first thing is, is that, you know, obviously you go see your physician. You know, the recommendations, I believe, for PSA, prostate-specific antigen, which is a screening

test for prostate cancer, doesn't mean that if it's elevated that you have prostate cancer, but you have to have it followed up. Typically, a urologist will monitor that. Sometimes to say, you know, we need to do a biopsy or prostate, you know, based on the numbers or based on your symptomatology. And then you also need to have some besides having like a PSA, and that's recommended typically over the age of 50. If you have a family history or if you're African American,

you have a higher risk. So maybe 45, you need to start getting checked for it. And then the other is you, even if you get a PSA done every year, you need a digital erectile examination. 10% of the prostate cancers will not have elevated PSA levels. And so you go into your physician. Yeah. I mean, you get a prostate exam.

You know, you know, people, you know, they get kind of nervous about it and stuff. And it's really not as bad as, you know, it's as bad as you want to let it, you know. Yeah. I've had, I've had a few of my life. I had a weird thing in high school where I was developing too much calcium. And so they were giving me, they had to check me out. I would say that they're not as bad as what you imagined to be. It's not something that I would recommend or fighting to get done again.

And if you get enough of them, you can kind of tell everybody's technique. And there are different ones. It's that small. Yeah, it's seen you want the smallest. What's come out is a lot bigger than what goes in. Yeah, you need the smallest man. It's interesting to me kind of right now also is my wife is an esthetician guy. And we're out here in Lake Tahoe.

I live in Denver, Colorado. Sunscreen is such a wild topic. And I hear my wife talking about a lot with her clients. she is a huge proponent, obviously as an esthetician on sunscreen, but specific sunscreens. She has a list that she kind of shares with her clients on sunscreens that she finds helpful. In fact, her grandfather, who she loved dearly, passed away from, you know, skin cancer a few years ago. And one of the causes of it was he was always putting the wrong sunscreen on. And so that's kind of why she got into the field that she did.

But now, as I'm preparing for this show and kind of looking up all the common health concerns of the public right now, you see a lot of people, especially celebrities, saying they don't use Sunblock at all. Is this recommended? My wife would tell anybody, no, you got to use sunscreen. Here's some good kinds. As a doctor, do you recommend sunscreen? Yeah, I mean, you know, be wary of. of, you know, celebrities going on and, you know, professing, you know, medical knowledge. I'd say that you can't have it and they haven't done their homework because a lot of, I hope that

they have, you know, but the current recommendation. And I agree with your wife, you know, wholeheartedly. I mean, you, when you go outside, you need to be wearing, you know, sunscreen, really almost at all all times because it's a cumulative effect. It's, you know, 10 minutes here, it's 30 minutes here. It's a walk to the store. It's, you know, a short walk on, you know, outside hiking for 30 minutes, you know, or you're outside, you know, sunbathing. And it's, you know, the sunscreen is not just to keep you from getting a sunburn. You know, it, you know, you wear it for different reasons. One, you know, you're going to get less wrinkles, less, you know, skin aging associated with that,

skin damage. And then obviously, you know, skin cancer. And there's different types of skin cancer. And so, yeah, you need to be using, you know, sunscreen. Now, whether you're using, you know, a chemical, you know, it's a chemical, you know, it's I'm sorry, a chemical sunscreen or a mineral sunscreen, gosh, your wife probably, you know, probably is researched it much more than I have. I mean, you know, the minerals are, you know, there's, they are more of a protective barrier.

They're like zinc oxide. And then chemical ones, they, they absorb the UV rays and then emit heat. And so they both work by decreasing, you know, the UV exposure to your skin, but they do it different ways. And I think which one you use depends on, or which broad category depends on your skin type and how you tolerate it, you know, because some of them, you know, like the zinc oxide, you know, we see as kids, you know, people may be wearing this white stuff all over and go, what is that, you know, now you recognize what it is and it's, you know, people getting massive sunburns to their nose and they were just using a protective barrier like zinc oxide,

which is that white cream that you see. Yeah, it's, it is interesting. I mean, I, Obviously, I was not thinking too much about this until I did get married and as I've gotten married and as my wife has become more and more focused on skincare, I cannot tell you even what kind of sunscreen I use, but I know it's sitting on my counter at my house every day for me to put on before I go outside. It is one of the things she is such a proponent of. it's it's also like you kind of mentioned it that you'd be careful from like too much of like kind of the celebrity influence what resources are out there to ask these questions obviously people won't be able to just jump on the zoom with you anytime they want um and my wife would charge them for this kind of advice what resources are out there to kind of figure out what's good and what's not well you know i mean we're all familiar with the internet now right even

I am and I'm on the on ramp of the information super highway, but there's so much information out there. There's so much. And, you know, it's trying to decipher what's legitimate, what isn't. You know, oftentimes what you need to do is, you know, if you're looking, just don't read something and take it, you know, for, you know, gospel, right? Because you got, it depends on who wrote it, you know, because in Reddit, people will, you know, write things in. And, you know, it's not based on anything but their own experience. And really what you want to do is you want to see what, you know, what the, what the study show, what the research shows. So, you know, oftentimes when I'm looking into it, I'll look for resources from legitimate bodies of knowledge, such as, you know, the American College of Dermatology, you know.

So if, you know, when, you know, when they put out a statement on sunscreens, you know, they've had hundreds of people reviewing that statement. and they're looking at hundreds and hundreds of pieces of research data to be able to formulate that. So you want to look at, you know, you want to use a resource that, you know, has gone through and it's gone above and beyond, just like, oh, I think this is it or they read it on the internet. They're actually deciphering those, you know, hundreds of articles that and studies that have been done. So just look for, you know, things like that. But you can go on the internet and you can get a pretty good idea, but just know where you're getting a. from sure well i mean and i think this is a compliment to you but also a fairly obvious observation um you have stayed looking really young uh and when we talked to you last time i remember

you talked about your workout routine which is lower weights uh higher volume uh you've stayed looking young you've stayed feeling young uh is there any tips that you could give us for how you've done that. I mean, for the public that's out there like me, it's like, goodness, guy is just, he looks younger than I am and I'm half his age. Like, what are the tips that you've done in your life to keep you being who you are? Yeah. I do get asked that question, you know, because I do look a little younger than my chronological age. I always like to say I'm physiologically younger, but, you know, I, you know, when I, people ask that question, I say a couple things. I said, I don't smoke. I don't do drugs, never smoke, never drugs.

Alcohol, very minimal. I'm not opposed to people drinking, but like everything, you have to do it in moderation. I exercise a lot, or I have historically, you know, anywhere from I did, you know, depending on the phase of my life, I was doing marathons in my 20s and 30s and then triathlons and Iron Man and then, you know, couldn't do those anymore and then started road biking for over 20 years. that's probably been my biggest passion. Now, over the last issue, you talked about the last five years, and there's more and more research to show it's a support doing weight training.

Now, just to be clear, this is men and women both doing weight training, right? Yes, men and women. And, you know, for women, what I say is they always worry, like, I don't want to lift weights. I don't want to get big, muslin and bulky. Well, I can assure you, unless you go into bodybuilding, you're not. that's not going to happen. You have to lift a lot of weights and you got to be eating a certain diet supplements and things where you, you know, those women that do the bodybuilding, you know, so weight training is is huge, you know, increases bone density, you know, just you're less

likely to get injured. You got to keep your strength up. I was actually, I'm down in San Diego and I was, I was at the beach today. So, and I noticed a woman trying to get up. just to stand up and she had such weakness in her lower legs and her pelvis it was she basically couldn't do it you know we had to go help her lift kind of lift her up you know from sit the sitting position um and so you want to you know do the weights and stuff like that and there's and i talked about earlier what what do i do and and i this is just my own you know my own routine is i've always done or i's not always past i used to do lower weights and or higher weight amounts and lower breaths.

Now I do, as I told you earlier, I do low weight and high reps. So I'll do up to like instead of 10 to 12, I'll do 25 reps. And I do, and I tend to do, I don't have chest days or leg days. I do all the body parts. I do deltoids, triceps, forearms, you know, pecks, abs, back, quads, hamstrings. I do them all in one day. I just do, you know, that different routine. and I'll do different sets of them, stuff like that.

So anyway, exercise and then diet obviously is very important. And, you know, I'm, you know, listen, I can, I can like, I enjoy junk food as much as the next person, you know. But, you know, I've gotten better about, you know, really you want to, and more and more studies are coming out on this and, you know, why we're seeing the obesity, you know, trends in the United States, you know. the way they've escalated. It sounds like a pandemic. And a lot of us has to do with the foods that we eat, you know, I mean, because we're eating such processed foods. And so, you know, my recommendation that I don't always do it.

I will, you know, be the first to admit that is to eat, eat, you know, real food, eat real food. So, you know, you don't want to eat, you know, the processed foods because there's so many chemicals and, you know, antibiotics and everything in, in that. decreasing for me decreasing red meat um you know i almost eliminated that of my diet doesn't mean i don't occasionally have a little small fillet you know you know every few months but i don't have a tea bone every night you know so you want you know lean lean meats you whether that's you know chicken fish is you know is a go-to protein source for me for for foods um and then uh you know

And then, you know, we, I think, if you talk about, like, how much, how much do you need of each of these different components, how much you would, you know, whether, you know, talk about protein, um, how much protein should be, you be taking and stuff and how do you, how do you get it? I would say that with like protein, um, quality is more important than quantity, uh, but there are guidelines on how much protein. And I've always been for, God, over 20 years, 25 years, I've always been an advocate of high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets. And that's just something I just kind of fell upon. I just as I've gotten older, I believe that one of the problems people get as they get

older is that they don't take in enough protein. Or what they do is they take it in a poor form. So you might have protein in hamburger, but you're eating 1,500 calories with all this bad fat and processed chemicals and everything to get the 50 grams of protein. Yeah. So you want it to be good, healthy, you know, sources. And I think that's a, that's a huge thing. How much you get, how much protein you get?

I've been asked this question, how much am I supposed to eat all the time? You know, how many grams of protein? And, you know, the general rule of thumb is, you know, for the average person is a gram per kilogram. And everybody has to know they're waiting kilograms to figure that out, or maybe about a half a gram per pound if you want to. I want to look it up right now. Yeah, well, it's 2.2 pounds per kilogram. So, for example, I'm about an 80, 80 kilogram man, you know, 70 kilogram man's 154 pounds. So you can take your weight in pounds divided by 2.2, that I'll give your weight in kilograms.

If you're really exercising a lot or, you know, for, you know, younger people, they're athletic, more muscle mass, you're going to need a lot more protein, you know, than one gram per kilogram. You're going to, you know, probably going to need two or one gram per pound. So if you weigh 150, 160 pounds, and you're doing lots of endurance training and stuff, you're probably going to need 150 grams of protein. Yeah. You know, I'm from the Midwest. I'm from Indiana, a place I love dearly. We're not known for our healthiest lifestyles. They're hard workers who are outside all.

day and, you know, exhausted at night. There's a common thing, and this is really my last health question for you, but it's becoming more prevalent to me, especially from where I'm from, where you have men or women who seem to be in decent shape, they're active, but their bellies get really hard and really big. It's like they're carrying a lot of weight just in their belly region and nowhere else. Is that something to be concerned of? Is that kind of going off of what you're talking about here where it's diet and exercise because i feel like a lot of these people are active um but they're carrying a lot of people are carrying that weight right there yeah especially you know like men i mean yes these men they their legs don't have any fat on them they tend to as you get

older you tend to lose lose the muscle mass in your buttocks and stuff and their arms get thinner but then they got this yeah returban abdomen you know and and a lot of that is you know you see you see the deposition in males in the mid-adomal area, and a lot of that is visceral fat. So it means there's fat underneath the muscle, right? My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon.

This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now hold up, isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them.

I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. So you have all this fat surrounding your bowels, your small intestine, your large intestine. And a lot of times, as you get older, you have the deposition in that visceral fat. And so, you know, there's certain ways and certain foods that you can eat to try to decrease the amount of visceral fat that you have.

You know, I can't give him off the top of my head, but, you know, you can definitely modify your diet to decrease that. And a lot of that just has to do with, you know, I'll just say, and you just got to go back to what we talked about before. Don't smoke, don't, you know, avoid excessive alcohol, try to exercise. And exercise, you don't have to be an exercise nut. You need to just, you know, start out with things in moderation. If you just go out and walk, I mean, you know, I mean, if you walk five miles or you run five miles,

your caloric expenditure is the same. Now, there's, you know, more cardiovascular, you know, benefits from the running. But from a, strictly from a, you know, a work standpoint and a chloric expenditure standpoint, those are going to be the same whether, but, you know, if you run it, you can do it in 40 minutes and if you walk it, it takes an hour and a half. So you still get to, you know, can get similar benefits. And then with women, you know, they tend to get it in other areas. They tend to get it in their hips and, you know, thighs and, you know, and same thing.

Just got to, you know, eat healthy foods, eat moderation. avoid, I truly believe that the processed foods are really, really killing us, you know, today. That makes sense. Guy, thank you for all your advice on health. We are going to completely switch gears here for just a final few questions on Paradise right now. Are you watching? I have watched, I have watched most of the episodes. I don't get through all of them, but I have watched them.

I wanted to see how some of my good friends that have been on it, how it's faring for them. And it's been an interesting observation. Yeah, what do you think so far? You know, I can tell you, it wouldn't have been for me. Okay. So you don't have FOMO. You're not missing out. You don't feel missing out like you.

No, to be honest with, I'm sitting there going, I dodged the back on that one, you know. I'm glad I met my person. because it's just, you know, it's not me, but, you know, I talked to, you know, a couple of the guys and I know they've had great experiences with it. They enjoyed it. And I have to say, it's pretty fun to watch. I mean, it's, it can be entertaining, you know, and, you know, if, if really, if the goal for them is to find someone, you know, why not try any avenue that you can, you know, any type of, you know, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of. of way of meeting somebody, you know, whether that's on the golden bachelor or the golden bachelor or the bachelor, bachelor, bachelor, bachelor in paradise. I mean, you know, I would suspect somebody's going to, you know, find a significant other through the show. I don't think so. But I think some of the young ones will. Yeah, I think I'm with you. Just give it a shot. Now you obviously have come out publicly with your girlfriend and one of the reasons why you're not

in paradise is because of Joanna's her name, right? Yeah, Johanna. Johanna, we met her a second ago. She's gorgeous. Very personal question for you, but that's what we do here because we talk about love. Are you looking to get married again ever? Yeah, you know, that question has been asked me before. I have to say that, you know, over the last, you know, since, you know, my separation and divorce, you know, I've gone out on a lot of one and done dates, you know.

And I finally got, even after the show, the show was fantastic for me. It allowed me to move forward in my life in ways that I did not anticipate. So I, you know, I thank, you know, Bastrolnation for that because it really did help me move forward. I did, I thought that, you know, by the end of the year after the show was over and some of the stuff had died down, I just thought, you know, this is never going to happen. I don't think I'm ever going to meet anybody either. just not ready for it, or I, you know, I, I'm looking for something that doesn't exist. But people just guys, hey, just, you know, hang in there. And interestingly enough, I, you know, I met Johanna on January 1st.

And January 31st, I was watching the ball drop in New York City thinking, I'm just going to be sitting here in my living room alone, you know, for a long time. And, you know, boom, you know, she showed up. And it's, it's been wonderful. I mean, she's a wonderful woman, kind of meets all the criteria, and we've basically been almost inseparable since we met in January. So am I looking to get married again? The right person?

Yes. Yeah. That's awesome. I mean, so your summer is better than you could have ever imagined to be on December 31st. You never knew that your summer could be looking like it is.
