A message � om the publisher

A message � om the editor

How dramatically the relationship between doctor and patient has changed! When I was a child, I well remember how the doctor’s words and directions were regarded as absolute. Few patients were willing to disagree with the doctor’s advice, and if they did, they did so silently, never in conversa-tion with their physician. � ere was no such arrangement as a doctor-patient partnership. It was simply “doctor knew best.”

Evidence of this void was the lack of medical articles in the lay press. � ere was little information for the average patient to use in discussion with his or her doctor. I was well aware of that because I wanted to write about the frontiers of medicine a� er I graduated from college, but there were precious few pub-lications that even carried a medicine section. Time Inc. was one of the rare publishers with such content, and that is where I was lucky enough to land a job.

Fast-forward half a century, and now almost every publisher o� ers articles on health and wellness. Some of them even catch the eye of physicians for their technical excellence and timeliness. � ese articles and programs on

other media enable patients to enjoy a much more satisfy-ing relationship with their physicians, and physicians to

speak with patients who have a much higher degree of awareness about their conditions. Doctors

even routinely give patients literature to read about their health so that they are more of an informed partner in the treatments.

We’ve come a long way, with great success, in medicine, and this relationship change, al-

though largely unheralded, has been part of the picture. So it is with great satisfaction that we

present to you this October edition of Lifestyle, de-voted almost entirely to articles on the state of di� erent

medical specialties today. Much as � omas Je� erson said that an informed citizenry is necessary for democracy to thrive, so a knowledgeable population concerning well-ness is required for the best of health.

We have put every e� ort into making these articles both accurate and readable. � ey cover topics as broad as the latest in breast cancer to falls prevention. We hope you enjoy reading and that the information you gain helps in your next visit with your doctor.

Welcome, Lifestylers, to our October issue — a unique edition focusing on health. Behind this month’s pages lay stories spanning the spectrum of wellness, with features on breast cancer, the bene� ts of being a pet owner, a 411 on what exactly con-cierge medicine is and more.

Health, a broad topic, takes many shapes. I thought I’d take this space to spotlight a sleepy, o� -overlooked health condition: seasonal a� ective disorder, or the winter blues, for short. Mayo Clinic de� nes SAD as “a type of depression that’s related to changes in seasons.”

Now, this isn’t a lethal type of illness. But it’s safe to say we’ve all felt SAD-ness. And it interferes with our lives in quiet, unassuming ways, a� ecting work productivity, friendships, family relationships and more.

Naturally, this disorder more greatly a� ects those

living in colder regions. Even though you may not have been diagnosed with SAD, most people feeling the winter blues could bene� t from a mood boost. So it’s time to gear up, and I’m not just talking about warmer

clothes. We’re at the edge of the season right now, when this depressive bug starts to kick in.

Some tips MayoClinic o� ers to help you manage SAD include taking care of yourself by getting enough rest and time to relax; practicing stress management techniques, socializing, and, one of my favorite tips — take a trip somewhere warm, if you can.

Even a long-weekend will do wonders, and you can � nd some great deals out there (I’ve re-

cently taken to perusing the under-$99 section of getaways on Groupon).

Or, ditch all those suggestions and curl up with a copy of Lifestyle by the � re. We sincerely hope you en-joy this month’s read.

Breast cancer: Facts and risksBY LISA STEUER

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and while genetics play a large

role in breast cancer risk, there are still things you can do to help pro-tect yourself and decrease your risk of acquiring the disease.

Alison Stopeck, MD, a breast cancer physician and researcher, is the associate director for trans-lational research at Stony Brook University Cancer Center. In her role at Stony Brook, Stopeck primarily works in research and believes that prevention is key.

“I basically do research in a way that I bring ideas, concepts, new drugs and predictors of re-sponse from the bench to the patient,” Stopeck said. “I honestly believe that the way we’re going to impact patients’ quality of life and basically their cure rate, is by preventing the disease. … Usually by the time we detect [breast can-

cer], they have anywhere from 25 to over 100 mutations. Because of that, it’s very di� cult to cure the disease once it’s spread. And even if you treat disease before it’s spread and you cure the patient, they still have the complications of the treatment.”

Stopeck shared risk factors, tips for prevention and anything else you need to know about breast cancer ,according to the latest research: Know your genetics, if possible. “Unfortunately, the number one risk factor for get-ting breast cancer is your family history. And as much as we’d like to think we can change our par-ents, we really can’t.” Maintain a healthy bodyweight throughout adulthood. Engage in physical activity three to � ve times a week for at least 30 minutes. Drink alcoholic bever-

ages in modera-tion, which for a woman is one or fewer drinks a day. Eat a diet low in satu-rated fats and

refi ned sugars,and increase your

vegetables— especially cruciferous vegetables like

cauli� ower, kale, broccoli, turnips, brussels sprouts, etc.

Breastfeed each childfor one year and consider having

your children earlier, if possible. “Having your children before the age of 30 decreases your

risk of having breast cancer,” said Stopeck, who added, that even so, “You have to have your children when you’re ready to have your children— emotionally, � nan-cially, all those things.” Avoid HRT (hormone re-placement therapy) if possible, especially progesterone, or use for the smallest time inter-

val. One controversial topic is whether or not breast cancer is linked to oral contraceptives. “To me, the biggest issue of birth control is how much pro-gesterone there is in the pill. I think that progesterone may be linked to breast can-cer, and the reason I feel that is basi-cally from the women’s health stud-ies, where the group that got estrogen and proges-terone had an increased risk of breast cancer, while those that had estrogen alone had a decreased risk,” said Stopeck. “But oral contraceptives are the best way to avoid pregnancy and they de-crease the risk of ovarian cancer by about 50 percent. And the data in breast cancer is small. So I think more of the risk would be in taking estrogen and pro-gesterone when you’re post-menopausal.” Follow recommended screening guidelines, and start getting mammograms a� er age 40. Breast cancer is still fairly uncommon in the 20 and 30-year-olds, said Stopeck, and is more likely to occur in your 50s or 60s. Practice monthly breast exams. “Even though the data on that is controversial, I think if you know what you’re doing and you know your breast, it actually works well.” If you are diagnosed with breast cancer, know your options. “� ere are a lot more options now than there were previously. [Patients] should al-ways make sure their physician is considering all the options. … We are making these huge advances.”

LOOKING FORWARDWith more than 20 years of

experience in the � eld, Stopeck said she is optimistic about the future of breast cancer treat-ments and prevention, and that it

has been re-warding to see and be part of the i m p r o v e -ments over the years.

“ T h e r e have been several ma-jor focuses

in breast cancer treatment that have really helped with patients’ quality of life. One is targeted therapies — so more speci� cally, targeting the cancer and having less toxic side e� ects to the nor-mal tissue,” said Stopeck. “We now are giving the correct dosage of therapy to people, meaning we have ways … to know which tu-mors are most likely to respond to chemotherapy and which tu-mors are less likely to respond to chemotherapy, and therefore, we are giving chemotherapy to many fewer patients than we used to.”

In addition, novel, critical tri-als are constantly being done and can lead to new and better treat-ments. One such clinical trial coming up at Stony Brook will focus on very novel immunother-apy trials in both early stage and late stage patients, said Stopeck.

“People always ask what can they do to help the � ght. And the thing that they can do most, hon-estly, is participate in a clinical trial,” said Stopeck, adding that they always need women who have already been diagnosed or who are high risk to participate in clinical trials. “� ose are the superheroes in oncology … because without them, there really would be no advances, there would be no new treatments, and there would be no hope for a cure.”

In addition to scheduling clinical screenings and mammograms, women should rou-tinely examine and massage their breasts to

detect any abnormalities. These breast self-ex-ams can be an important part of early breast cancer detection.

Although many women are aware that they should become familiar with their bodies, many are unsure about just how frequently they should conduct breast examinations. Ex-perts at The Johns Hopkins Hospital advise adult women of all ages to perform self-exam-inations at least once a month. That’s because 40 percent of diagnosed breast cancers are first detected by women who feel a lump. Es-tablishing a regular breast self-exam schedule is very important.

Begin by looking at the breasts in a mirror. Note the size and appearance of the breasts, and pay attention to any changes that are normal parts of hormonal changes associated with menstruation. Breasts should be evenly shaped without distortion or swelling.

Changes that should cause concern include dimpling, puckering or bulging of the skin. Inverted nipples or nipples that have changed

position, as well as any rash or redness, should be noted. In addition, the same examination should be done with arms raised over the head.

The breasts should be felt while both lying down and standing up. Use the right hand to manipulate the left breast and vice versa. Use a firm touch with the first few fingers of the hand. Cover the entire breast in circular motions. The pattern taken doesn’t matter so long as it covers the entire breast. All tis-sue, from the front to the back of the breast, should be felt.

The same pattern and procedure should be conducted while standing up. Many women find this easi-est to do while in the shower.

It is important not to panic if something is detected. Not every lump is breast cancer. And bumps may actu-

ally be normal parts of the breast, as certain areas can feel different than others. But bring any concerns to the attention of your doctor.

Breast self-exams are a healthy habit to adopt. When used in conjunction with reg-ular medical care and mammography, self-exams can be yet another tool in helping to detect breast abnormalities. Doctors and nurses will use similar breast examination techniques during routine examinations.

Plastic surgery made simpleBy Melissa arnold

We’ve all experi-enced it at some point in our lives, even brief-

ly: That nagging feeling of dis-content about the way you look.

Maybe you’re a parent with stubborn post-baby weight, someone who’s had gastric by-pass surgery with lots of extra skin or even someone recovering from a traumatic injury that’s af-fected your appearance. In all of these cases, lifestyle changes can only do so much.

For many years, plastic surgery has bridged that gap, giving pa-tients from all walks of life the look they’ve longed for. And while it’s still going to cost you, going under the knife is simpler than ever.An Ancient PrActice

Believe it or not, plastic sur-gery has been around for thou-sands of years in two forms — reconstructive and cosmetic.

According to the National In-stitutes of Health, some of the earliest body-altering procedures were performed in India around 800 B.C. At that time, people of-ten had their noses cut off during conflict or as punishment, and simplistic rhinoplasties, “nose jobs,” were performed to recon-struct them.

Modern reconstructive sur-gery was born in wartime as soldiers dealt with facial trauma and other injuries. The American Board of Plastic Surgery was or-ganized in 1937.

Cosmetic surgery took longer to become popular — the buzz surrounding it didn’t pick up until the 1970s and 80s, says Dr. Jim Romanelli of North Shore Plastic Surgery in Huntington.

“There was [originally] some resistance within medicine, say-ing it was unnecessary, danger-ous and vain,” Romanelli said. “But today, we know a lot more

about performing the surgery safely with good results.”

What began with involved, painful procedures and long scars has grown into a stream-lined, patient-directed field of surgery with more natural-look-ing results and less hassle.

And these days, plastic sur-gery and cosmetic procedures

are more accessible than ever. While no cosmetic surgeries are covered by insurance, there are now plenty of options to finance them, from saving up cash to working with a lender or financ-ing company.

“Most people having cos-metic surgery just want to look

Is it for you?

“I always start by asking a patient what they’re looking for —

what concerns them and what they want to see changed, Then, following an exam,

I’ll offer them choices based on what [technology is] available. ... I wouldn’t say

that any particular cosmetic procedure has been abandoned, just significantlymodified. It’s almost like a brand-new

procedure in some cases.”Dr. Hilton Adler, M.D.

in the mirror and feel happy and healthy,” Romanelli said. “These are everyday people — school-teachers, musicians, bus drivers — not exclusively wealthy people or celebrities.”

While many patients opting for surgery are women, the number of male patients is growing too.

Modern trendsIn the past, a patient’s wishes

weren’t always a huge priority. Years ago, a surgeon may have only performed a procedure in a certain way. If the patient hoped for something different, they’d have to look elsewhere.

But today, it’s not uncommon for patients to bring in photos of the kind of look they’re hoping for, much like choosing a hair-style or wedding dress, Romanel-li explained.

Finding out what the patient really wants is the foundation of modern cosmetic surgery, says Dr. Hilton Adler of Suffolk Plas-tic Surgeons in Setauket.

“I always start by asking a pa-tient what they’re looking for — what concerns them and what they want to see changed,” he said. “Then, following an exam, I’ll offer them choices based on what [technology is] available.”

Today’s most sought after sur-geries aren’t that different from the past. Nose jobs, breast reduc-tions or augmentations, tummy tucks and face-lifts all top the list.

“I wouldn’t say that any par-ticular cosmetic procedure has been abandoned, just signifi-cantly modified. It’s almost like a brand-new procedure in some cases,” Adler explained.

For example, Romanelli says that the incisions used for breast-related surgeries have changed, al-lowing for a smaller scar. In some cases, the incision is made under the arm, where it’s less obvious.

There’s also the “mommy makeover,” which combines a tummy tuck and a face lift or

breast work into one surgery.Men usually come in for facial

work, but many are also seeking help for gynecomastia, a condition that causes breast development.

“It’s tough on guys who are in high school or college whose breasts develop,” said Dr. Grego-ry Diehl of Diehl Plastic Surgery in Port Jefferson Station. “The hormones are fine, but the glands are bigger. Its become more com-mon today to look for a fix.”

In reconstructive surgery, one of the most common procedures today helps to eliminate excess skin that often occurs in people who have experienced rapid or significant weight loss, Adler says. In many cases, the weight loss is aided by gastric bypass procedures.

noninvasive procedures and More

Of course, not every cosmetic procedure requires surgery. In fact, minimally invasive and noninvasive procedures are ex-tremely popular today, as new technology continues to develop.

“People are trying to get away from surgery, while things like Botox and other (injectable) fill-ers are becoming more popular,” Diehl said.

Injectables are a group of ma-terials that can smooth wrinkles, plump other areas, and create a more youthful look overall.

Procedures such as CoolS-culpting, which freezes and shrinks fat cells, and ultherapy, which uses ultrasound technol-ogy for tightening the face, are also on the rise, Adler said.

Put simply, if you can dream it, there’s likely a procedure to help you achieve it.

planning your Makeover

If you’re looking to have cos-metic surgery or another proce-dure, the first step is choosing the

right surgeon.“We urge patients to seek out

board-certified plastic surgeons. Make sure your doctor has prop-er credentials,” Adler said.

Diehl also noted that they should offer to show you their previous work. “Ask for pictures of their surgeries. You should like what you see. Pictures tell the sto-ry,” he said. “Also, is the doctor re-ally listening to you and what you want? You have to communicate. You have to make sure all the de-tails are ironed out.”

Once you find the right person, a consultation lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

The surgeon will get an idea of what you’d like to do, and in some cases allow you to check it out using computer imaging.

If you’re satisfied, you’ll re-turn for a second appointment

to address any new questions or concerns before scheduling the procedure. The exact process and recovery time varies, depending on the procedure. Many surgeons have operating rooms in their own offices, and barring complications, a patient can go home the same day.

Making a difference

The surgeons are quick to note that there’s no longer any stigma surrounding plas-tic surgery. “People are proud of what they’ve done. They want to tell everyone about it,” Diehl said.

The surgeons are proud, too.“People do say, ‘You’ve

changed my life. I should have done this sooner.’ It’s wonderful to be able to help people with that,” Romanelli said.

Halloween candy: The sweet truth Dentists drill

down on trick-or-treating By SuSan RiSoli

Everyone knows that Hal-loween treats are bad for children’s teeth. Or is that

just a myth, perpetrated by par-ents who want to pilfer their kids’ candy stash?

With their mouths full of restorations, adults are the ones more likely than kids to experience post-Halloween dental problems, said Dr. Robert Branca D.D.S. It’s not unusual for adults to make an appointment at Sweetwater Dental Care in Hauppauge, where Branca practices, to take care of a cracked tooth, a lost crown or a missing filling caused by biting into hard or sticky candy. As far as kids go, Branca said, Halloween doesn’t so much affect the ongoing is-sue of tooth decay as much as the child’s genetic makeup and the texture of their teeth — smooth or pitted. To prevent cavities, he recommends that children get f luoride treat-ments and have their teeth sealed.

Energy drinks and soda are way worse for a young person’s teeth than once-a-year con-sumption of Halloween candy, Branca said.

“We see a big difference in tooth decay of young adults in their 20s,” since energy drinks became popular, he said, be-cause the drinks are “very high in sugar, very high in acid. Those things are really bad for your teeth.”

If the child has braces, their parents can remind them to choose and eat their Hallow-een candy carefully. “Sticky things could be a problem,” he said.

When it came to raising his own kids, Dr. Branca said he practiced the “all things in moderation” approach. “I wasn’t going to take Hallow-een away from them. Let them have their fun,” he said. “But I wasn’t going to let them have candy every day, either.”

Young trick-or-treaters have healthier teeth than adults, said Dr. Roger Kleinman, D.D.S., so a little Halloween indulgence shouldn’t be bad for their dental health.

“Up until age 14 or 15, chil-dren tend to still have strong teeth,” he said. “Some of their adult teeth didn’t come in until they were 12. There hasn’t been a chance yet for adult decay to set in.” At the Gentle Dental office in Port Jefferson, he has treated his share of dental trau-ma caused by adults biting into candy — “broken teeth from a frozen caramel cluster, for ex-ample.” Dr. Kleinman recom-mends parents follow the usual advice about letting their kids eat only wrapped candies.

“And after they eat the can-dy they’re allowed to have, I would recommend that they go brush their teeth,” he advised.

Dr. Aimee Zopf, D.M.D., also a practitioner at Gentle Dental, isn’t likely to condemn Halloween. “That’s my birth-day,” she said.

For the rest of us trick-or-treaters, as long as proper den-tal hygiene is practiced on a consistent, daily basis, Hallow-een shouldn’t pose a problem, she said. Eating candy won’t necessarily cause tooth decay “as long as you’re brushing and f lossing and seeing your den-tist every six months, or more

frequently if needed,” Dr. Zopf said. She also reminded parents to check their kids’ Halloween candy not only to make sure

it’s safely wrapped, but also to check that it doesn’t trigger any allergies the child might have.

The health benefits of wineBy BoB Lipinski

Wine has a long history of use as a medicine, often being recommended

by doctors, including Hippocrates, considered the father of medicine, and alchemists. It was consumed as an alternative to drinking often-contaminated water as well as to disinfect and dress wounds, as a digestive aid, to purge fever and suf-

ferings from child birth, as cure-alls for man’s ailments, love potions and guarantees of everlasting life, for rejuvenation, and sexual potency, and even as an aphrodisiac. Wine was easy to make; ancient wine-

makers used whatever grapes were available and relied on the natural yeast on the grapes to ferment the wine. Wine was easy to drink (not high quality) and the high alcohol content made dissolving herbs and other medicines much easier.

Among the many ancient drinks was one called Hippocras, a highly spiced honey wine that was made more than 2,300 years ago by Hippocrates. Hippocras was quite popular in Europe until the time of Louis XV of France.

Wine, consumed in modera-tion, has long been thought of as heart-healthy. The alcohol and certain substances in wine, called antioxidants, may help prevent heart disease by increasing levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol — the “good” choles-terol — and protecting against artery damage.

w i n e & d i n e

During the past several decades, there have been hundreds of stud-ies confirming the health benefits of consuming wine, especially red wine, in moderation.

Numerous studies have found that a powerful polyphenol known as resveratrol is found in the seeds and skins of red grapes, which has antioxidant properties. Red wine has a high concentration of resvera-trol because the skin and seeds fer-ment in the grape-juice during the winemaking process. White wine also contains resveratrol, but seeds and skin are removed early in the winemaking process, reducing the concentration of the compound in the finished wine. Resveratrol can also be found in blueberries and cranberries.

Scientific research has suggested that resveratrol may have very desir-able health benefits, from fighting cancer and heart disease to slowing aging. The amount of resveratrol in wine varies by the grape variety, country of origin, and the wine-making process.

There is some research showing that wine may have other health benefits as well, including slowing memory loss, preventing de-mentia, fighting weight gain, protecting against dental disease and reducing risk of depression.

As a part of a healthy lifestyle, we often find ourselves reading food labels, looking for the num-ber of calories, grams of fat, sodium and so forth. Regarding wine, there are calo-ries present, which vary depending on the num-ber of ounces, alcohol content and amount of sug-ar present. With few excep-tions, most red and white wines fall between 11 to 14.5 percent alco-hol. In restaurants, the “standard” glass of wine is about 6 ounces.

Let’s not forget Hippocrates’ wise words on wine’s health benefits.

“Wine is a substance that is wonderfully appropriate to man, in health as well as in sickness, if it be administered at the right time, and in proper quantities, according to the individual constitution,” the physician once said.

Bob Lipinski, a local author, has written nine books, in-cluding “101: E v e r y t h i n g You Need To

Know About Whiskey” and “Ital-ian Wine & Cheese Made Simple” (available on Amazon.com). He conducts training seminars on Wine, Spirits, and Food, and is available for speaking engagements. He can be reached at www.boblipin-ski.com OR [email protected]

By Melissa arnold

Imagine this: You’re out with friends at a barbecue and wake up the next day with

an unusual rash. On top of that, you’re just not feeling well.

Most people would head to a nearby urgent care center, emer-gency department or doctor’s of-fice to get checked out. In all of these situations, though, you’re probably in for a wait of several hours. And in the case of a doctor’s office, you might have to wait a few days or even longer to be seen.

But what if you could take a picture of that rash with your cellphone and text it to a doc-tor, who responds right away with advice before calling in a prescription? Even better, what if you could do that at any time, seven days a week?

Such direct access to a doctor isn’t just a fantasy anymore. It’s a type of care called concierge medicine, and it’s spreading rap-idly across the country.

Concierge practices come in several different forms, but in all cases, patients pay an an-nual or semi-annual fee to their physician, even if they don’t visit the office. In exchange, patients are guaranteed shorter wait times, longer, unrushed appointments and 24/7 access if a problem arises.

The fee varies widely depend-ing on the location of the prac-tice and the services they offer. Some physicians will also charge based on a patient’s age or medi-cal status.

Dr. Bruce Feldman works in-dependently, traveling through-out Long Island and occasionally elsewhere to meet his patients at their workplace, home or anoth-er location.

“My preferred population is an executive or professional who is too busy to go to the doc-tor. I go directly to them,” said Feldman, who also has offices in Melville and Port Washington.

“If a guy is making a fair living, the idea of driving to the doctor and having to spend time wait-ing usually doesn’t sit well. And yet they want to be successful at their jobs and function at an op-timal level.”

Feldman does have patients come in for an initial physical, but as he gets to know them, care becomes less about face-

to-face contact and more about communicating by phone or email as needed.

The biggest difference be-tween concierge and traditional medical care, Feldman said, is the focus on preventing future health issues instead of attempt-ing to resolve existing problems.

Both Feldman and Dr. Vasi-lios Kalonaros of Northport

agreed that preventative care is lacking in traditional medicine, and patients are suffering for it.

“When you’re only given 15 minutes with a patient, it’s like putting your finger in a dam — you can’t always take the time to treat every issue,” Kalonaros says.

Small practices are a hallmark in concierge medicine. Most doctors limit themselves to a few hundred patients, allowing for longer visits.

Before Kalonaros made the switch to concierge medicine eight years ago, he was seeing up to 40 patients a day. Now, it varies between eight and 12. Feldman sees about four patients each day, with only 60 patients total.

And statistics show that a doctor with time to spare makes a difference for patients. Accord-ing to MDVIP, a private net-work of physicians that includes Kalonaros, concierge patients are hospitalized 72 percent less than those seeing a traditional doctor. In addition, the Ameri-can Journal of Managed Care reports that concierge medicine ultimately saves the health care system more than $300 million in Medicare expenses.

Its popularity appears to be growing, too. There are now hundreds of concierge doctors throughout the country, and more than 20 on Long Island alone.

Before choosing a concierge doctor, it’s best to determine exactly what you want. Are you looking for a doctor who takes your insurance, does house calls or has inexpensive fees? Answer-ing these questions will help nar-row the field.

Then, ask for a consultation. Use that time to get to know them, learn about their services and determine if he or she is a good fit for your needs.

Fees vary widely in the con-cierge world, from under $2,000

annually to more than $20,000.Concierge medicine is famil-

iar to some, thanks to the USA Network’s medical drama series “Royal Pains.” The show follows a cardiac surgeon who becomes a private physician for the wealthi-est residents of the Hamptons.

While some of the show’s themes are accurate, its sole fo-cus on upper-class patients is just a stereotype.

“Most of my patients are not wealthy — they are middle and lower-middle class,” Kalonaros said. He added that a concierge doctor can be a great option for those with minimal or no in-surance, because his $1,650 fee guarantees access to him at any time.

And Feldman argues that when you don’t get sick in the first place, this model will save

you money that would be oth-erwise spent on medication or more extensive treatment.

But both doctors are quick to admit it’s not the best option for everyone.

“If you have a good relation-ship with your existing doctor, you don’t need a concierge doc-tor. But if you’re frustrated or not getting the care you need and are willing to pay more, a concierge doctor might be for you,” Feldman says. “It’s about having a partner in your well-ness.”

The health benefits of pets

By Lisa steuerIt is quite obvious that people

love their pets. In fact, 62 percent of U.S. households contain a pet, and about $45 billion is spent on pets annually, according to Pamela Linden LMSW, Ph.D., a clinical associate professor in the Occupational Therapy program at Stony Brook University.

But what many people may not realize is that these animals could be positively impacting the pet owner’s health, and that emerging research shows that therapy and comfort animals could have a place in therapeutic and trauma settings. Currently, a lot of the research on the health benefits of pet ownership has to do with the bond between the animal and its owner, Linden said.

“There’s a book by Meg Daley Olmert called ‘Made for Each Other’ and the whole book is about oxytocin — and that’s why we bond with others, including other mammals, like dogs,” said Linden. “A lot of it has to do with the gazing and the staring, so studies have been done, espe-cially one interesting study that measured oxytocin levels in both the human and the dog after gaz-ing— oxytocin levels raised for both of them,” resulting in good feelings not only for human, but for the dog, too.

Linden’s hope is that more people will be motivated to un-derstand the role of pets in our lives. She developed the first social work internship with Pa-tchogue Rotary Animal Assisted Therapy, a not-for-profit organi-zation in Patchogue that screens, trains and supports human-dog teams that visit individuals in schools, hospitals and hospice

facilities. Linden hopes to work with PRAAT to research the ef-fect that comfort animals have on people who are already sick.

In addition, Linden is the fac-ulty advisor for Stony Brook Uni-versity’s first Animal Assisted Ac-tivity student club anticipated to begin in spring 2016. So far, more than 150 students have signed up for the club, which has goals to help provide education about ani-mal -assisted therapy while part-nering students with organizations like PRAAT and local shelters to help prepare dogs to become adop-tion-ready.

Linden pointed out that people often get confused be-tween service animals, therapy dogs and comfort animals. Ser-vice dogs are protected by law, are allowed anywhere animals typically aren’t allowed and have been trained to perform special functions, like open doors, push buttons and retrieve objects for people with visual impairments, for instance. A comfort dog has been trained to visit hospitals, nursing homes and similar plac-es to provide comfort to patients, and a therapy dog is an animal

F O C U S O N H E A L T H

used by a licensed health profes-sional to achieve a therapeutic outcome.

“I’ll give you an example [of a therapy dog],” said Linden. “As a social worker, I’m working with someone who is grieving. And they’re either too numb or too emotional to process the grief. I might bring in a dog with a ther-

apeutic goal of bridging between the client and the therapist by doing those behaviors that we do— you can snuggle up to a dog, pet it, stare into the eyes and have your oxytocin kick in and relax.”

Physical, Psychological and Emotional BEnEfits

Although the research is lim-ited, studies have demonstrated the healthy benefits of pet own-ership and companionship. Lin-den shared the physical, psycho-logical, and emotional benefits: • Physical: Pet owners have fewer minor health complaints and have greater levels of exer-cises and physical fitness. Studies have found that pet owners had

reductions in some common risk factors for cardiovascular dis-ease, such as lower systolic blood pressures, plasma cholesterol and triglyceride values.

“People experience a decrease of blood pressure talking to pets. Blood pressure decreases for

people with normal pressures and those with hypertension when watching fish in a standard aquarium,” said Linden.• Psychological:

Studies have found that pet owners enjoy better well-being than non-owners, and that pet owners have greater self-esteem and tend to be less lonely.

“People find comfort in talk-ing to their animals. People walking with their dog experi-ence more social contact and longer conversations than when walking alone — pets stimulate conversations between people,” Linden said. “Companion ani-mals can help people to laugh and maintain a sense of humor.”

She added that Children with ADHD and defiant disorders ex-hibit significantly less antisocial and violent behavior than a matched group that did not involve animals. •EMoTioNal: Companion

animals have been shown to alle-viate anxiety. Stony Brook brings dogs in during exam time to help relax the undergraduate students.

“Any discussion regarding pets should include the notion of responsible pet ownership — en-suring that their physical, medi-cal and emotional needs are met. This requires adequate financial resources and time to devote to caring for the pet,” added Linden.

Examining diet trends

with a Stony Brook

nutritionistBY LISA STEUER

In the 1990s, low-fat food products lined the shelves. Consumers believed that choosing a product with a low-fat label was essential for optimal health and fat loss. But today, ex-

perts say that a low-fat diet can be detrimental — as food that has the fat removed can instead be high in sugar and calories to make up for the lack of fat.

“� e whole low-fat phase was problematic be-cause people substituted re� ned carbohydrates, and that is a huge problem,” said Dr. Josephine Connolly-Schoonen, Ph.D., RD, the executive director of Stony Brook Medicine Nutrition Di-vision and author of “Losing Weight Permanent-ly with the Bull’s Eye Food Guide: Your Best Mix of Carbs, Proteins, and Fats.”

So with so many diets out there today, which work best for weight loss and health? Here is Connolly-Schoonen’s input.

GOING GLUTEN FREEGluten is a name for proteins found in

wheat, and some common foods that contain gluten include pasta, bread, � our tortillas, oats, dressings, cereals, sauces and more. Go to any grocery store these days and you will most likely � nd a “gluten-free” section. And while people with Celiac disease cannot eat gluten because they will get sick, many people who aren’t allergic to gluten are touting the weight loss and health bene� ts of going gluten free.

But if you don’t have a gluten allergy, is it nec-essary or nutritionally wise to go gluten free?

“I think that many people are gluten intol-erant and can bene� t from a gluten-free diet,” said Connolly-Schoonen. “But, [it should be] a high-quality gluten-free diet — foods that never had gluten. So your starches are going to be from potato and rice and quinoa, not from gluten-free bread and gluten-free pasta.”

So while foods that are naturally gluten free are generally healthy, those who are not gluten-intolerant should be wary of processed foods that have had the gluten removed, as there now exists a big market and opportunity for compa-

nies wanting to take advantage of the gluten-free trend — and products such as “gluten-free cook-ies” may not necessarily be nutritionally sound.

“In my practice, I’ve seen many people ben-e� t from gluten-free styles of eating, but using whole foods, not processed gluten-free food … A slice of gluten-free bread is rather small and has the same or perhaps a little bit more calories than regular bread,” said Connolly-Schoonen. “Foods that are naturally gluten-free are quite healthy and I really do think people may bene� t from a gluten-free style of eating, but it has to be natural.”

THE PALEO DIET AND GOING VEGAN

� e idea behind the paleo diet is that we should eat as our ances-tors or “cavemen” ate, including meat, � sh, vegetables and fruit, and excluding processed food, grains and dairy. And while many people have reportedly lost weight on the diet, some argue that the paleo diet does not necessarily follow what our ancestors ate, and there is now a market for processed paleo bars and drinks.

But Connolly-Schoonen says the concept of consuming fewer processed foods is a good one to follow, especially when it comes to sugar-laden beverages.

“With the advent of the high fructose corn syrup, it became so cheap to make sweetened beverages … that have the equivalent of 17, 19, 20 packets of sugar in them, and we genetically cannot handle that.”

In addition, some people choose to go vegan or vegetarian for a variety of reasons — moral, health or a combination. Both vegans and veg-

F O C U S O N H E A L T H

etarians do not eat meat, � sh or poultry, while vegans also do not use other animal

products and byproducts, such as eggs, honey, cosmetics, and more.

“I don’t think you need to be a vegetarian to be at your op-

timal health, but there is a lot of research over an extended period of

time showing that vegetarians, more than vegans, who eat a high-quality vegetarian

diet — so no Snickers bars — do quite well in terms of decreasing the risk for chronic illnesses like diabetes and heart disease, and there really is a lot of research behind the vegetarian diet to support that,” said Connolly-Schoonen. “Vegan diets could be healthy, but it’s much more chal-lenging to make sure that you get all of your mi-cronutrients.”

JUICING UPJuicing is still considered healthy in modera-

tion and as a quick way to get antioxidants. But when you use a juicer, the juice is extracted from fruits and vegetables, leaving behind a pulp that is o� en thrown away. In addition, this strips the fruit of its � ber but leaves the sugar.

“Even if you’re juicing vegetables, you’re still getting the sugar … and making the sugar much more highly available,” said Connolly-Schoonen. “And most people are more satiated when they chew their food.”

In addition, many people subscribe to the idea of doing juicing “detoxes” or “cleanses” every so o� en — which have found to be not really necessary, as we already have a natural detoxi� cation system that occurs in our livers. In addition, any sort of diet that deprives one

of nutrients is never a great idea. Instead, work on supporting your body’s natural ability to detox.

“If you have an unhealthy gut environment, you’re taxing your liver’s detoxification system. So first you want to have a healthy gut envi-ronment, which means lots of fiber and a good source of probiotics,” said Connolly-Schoonen. “Then you need to support your liver’s detoxification system with a wide array of micronutrients, which is going to come from a wide array of whole foods like protein, fish, lean meats, beans and then your vegeta-bles, fruits and nuts.”

The BoTTom LineInstead of following a super

strict diet, you may want to simply remember Connolly-Schoonen’s “two key factors” for healthy nutri-tion: quality and quantity. In terms of quality, choose foods that are less processed — lean proteins like chicken and fish, a huge variety of vegetables, beans, nuts and olive oil for healthy fats.

Once one works on the qual-ity of foods in his or her diet, “it’s been my experience that patients can then much more easily work on moderating the quantity,” she said. “Once you’re eating whole foods and you’re mixing your quality proteins and fats, it becomes much easier to manage your appetite.”

Does this mean you can never have dessert again? Not at all.

“I tell patients if you’re eating ice cream, it should be real ice cream made from whole milk fat and real sugar. You shouldn’t get artificially sweetened products,” she said. “When you want chocolate and you want ice cream, have the real stuff. And that you should be able to in-clude in your diet, maybe not every day, maybe a few times a week — it all just depends on how active you are.”

Stay independent by reducing your

falls riskBy DaviD Dunaief, M.D.

When we were younger, falls usually did not result in sig-

nificant consequences. However, when we reach middle age and chronic diseases become more prevalent, falls become more sub-stantial. And, unfortunately, falls are a serious concern for older patients, where consequences can be devastating. They can include brain injuries, hip fractures, a de-crease in functional ability and a decline in physical and social ac-tivities.(1) Ultimately, falls can lead to loss of independence.(2)

Of those over the age of 65, between 30 and 40 percent will fall annually.(3) Most of the inju-ries that involve emergency room visits are due to falls in this older demographic.(4)

What can increaSe the riSk of fallS?

A multitude of factors contrib-ute to fall risk. A personal history of falling in the recent past is the most prevalent. But there are many other significant factors, such as age; being female; and using drugs, like antihypertensive medications used to treat high blood pressure and psycho-tropic medi-cations used to treat anxi-ety, depression and insomnia. Chronic diseases, including arthritis, as an umbrella term; a history of stroke; cognitive impairment and Parkinson’s disease can also contribute. Circumstances that predispose us to falls also involve

weakness in upper and lower body strength, decreased vision, hearing disorders and psychological issues, such as anxiety and depression.(5)

hoW do We prevent fallS?

Fortunately, there are ways to modify many risk factors and ul-timately reduce the risk of falls. Of the utmost importance is ex-ercise. But what do we mean by “exercise?” Exercises involving balance, strength, movement, flex-ibility and endurance, whether home-based or in groups, all play significant roles in fall prevention.(6) We will go into more detail be-low.

Many of us in the northeast suffer from low vitamin D, which strengthens muscle and bone. This is an easy fix with supplementa-tion. Footwear also needs to be addressed. Non-slip shoes, if last winter is any indication, are of the utmost concern. Inexpensive changes in the home can also make a big difference.

MedicationS that exacerbate fall riSk

There are a number of medica-tions that may heighten fall risk.

As I mentioned, psychotropic drugs top the list. Ironi-

cally, they also top the list of the best-

selling drugs. But what other drugs might have an impact?

High blood pressure medica-

tions have recently been investigated. A

recent propensity-matched sample study (a notch below an randomized control trial in terms of quality) showed an increase in fall risk in those who were taking high blood pressure medication.(7)

Surprisingly, those who were on moderate doses of blood pressure medi-cation had the greatest risk of serious injuries from falls, a 40 percent in-crease. One would have expected those on the highest levels of BP medica-tion to have the greatest increase in risk, but this was not the case.

While blood pressure medications may contribute to fall risk, they have significant benefits in reducing the risks of cardiovascular disease and events. Thus, we need to weigh the risk-benefit ratio, specifically in older patients, before considering stopping a medication. When it comes to treating high blood pressure, lifestyle modifications may also play a sig-nificant role in treating this disease.(8)

Where does arthritis fit into this paradigm?In those with arthritis, compared to those without, there is an approxi-

mately two-times increased risk of two or more falls and, additionally, a two-times increased risk of injury resulting from falls, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.(1) This survey encompassed a significantly large demographic; arthritis was an umbrella term including those with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus and fibromy-algia. Therefore, the amount of participants with arthritis was 40 percent. Of these, about 13 percent had one fall and, interestingly, 13 percent ex-perienced two or more falls in the previous year. Unfortunately, almost 10 percent of the participants sustained an injury from a fall. Patients 45 and older were as likely to fall as those 65 and older.

Why is exercise critical?All exercise has value. A meta-analysis of a group of 17 trials showed

that exercise significantly reduced the risk of a fall (9). If their categories are broken down, exercise had a 37 percent reduction in falls that resulted in injury and a 30 percent reduction in those falls requiring medical atten-tion. But even more impressive was a 61 percent reduction in fracture risk. Remember, the lower the fracture risk, the more likely you are to remain

physically independent. Thus, the author summarized that exercise not only helps to prevent falls, but also fall injuries. The weakness of this study was that there was no consistency in design of the trials included in the meta-analysis. Nonetheless, the results were impressive.

What specific types of exercise are useful?Many times, exercise is presented as a word that defines itself. In other

words: just do any exercise and you will get results. But some exercises may be more valuable or have more research behind them. Tai chi, yoga and aquatic exercise have been shown to have benefits in preventing falls and injuries from falls.

A randomized controlled trial, the gold standard of studies, showed that those who did an aquatic exercise program had a significant improve-ment in the risk of falls (10). The aim of the aquatic exercise was to im-

prove balance, strength and mobil-ity. Results showed a reduction in the number of falls from a mean of 2.00 to a fraction of this level — a mean of 0.29. There was no change in the control group.

There was also a 44 percent de-cline in the number of patients who fell. This study’s duration was six months and involved 108 post-menopausal women with an aver-age age of 58. This is a group that is more susceptible to bone and muscle weakness. Both groups were given equal amounts of vitamin D and calcium supplements. The good news is that many patients re-ally like aquatic exercise.

Thus, our best line of defense against fall risk is prevention. Does this mean stopping medications? Not necessarily. But for those 65 and older, or for those who have “arthritis” and are at least 45 years old, it may mean reviewing your medication list with your doctor. Before considering changing your

BP medications, review the risk-to-benefit ratio with your physician. The most productive way to prevent falls is through lifestyle modifica-tions.

Physical therapists play an important role

An injury or illness can impact a person’s mobili-ty and ability to perform

everyday activities. While medi-cine and other treatments can help the situation, physical thera-pists are often sought to help in-dividuals get back on track.

The American Physical Thera-py Association says physical ther-apists examine each individual patient and develop plans using treatment techniques to promote mobility, reduce pain, restore function and prevent further disability. In addition, physical therapists work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fit-

ness and wellness oriented pro-grams for health-ier and more ac-tive lifestyles.

Physical ther-apists frequently work with patients’ larger medi-cal teams to provide custom-ized care depending on patients’ needs. Physical therapists may begin their treatment plans by gathering patients’ histories and reviewing any tests and imag-ing the patients may have had. This information, combined with physical examinations and studies of the injuries or ill-nesses, will help physical thera-

pists to establish treatment plans for the patients.

Men and women who have been told they need physical

therapy can heed to the follow-ing tips as they look for therapists to work with. Get a referral from your pri-

mary doctor or orthopedist. With some insurance plans, a refer-ral will be needed for treatment. Otherwise, use your insurance plan’s provider directory to find a physical therapist who accepts your insurance. Check your insurance ben-

efits to determine how much cov-erage you have for physical therapy. You may be limited to a certain number of sessions or have no re-strictions at all. Many physical therapists

are board-certified in one spe-cialty. They have passed tests and have documented hours treating certain conditions. This can be helpful if you require a pediatric specialist or one who has expertise with the back or neck. Any physi-cal therapist or therapist’s assistant should be qualified and licensed. Ask if you will be the physi-

cal therapist’s only patient at an appointment. Some treat one indi-vidual at a time while others may see two or three patients at a time.

Find out who will be treat-ing you. You may be assigned the same therapist each time. If you are getting services at a therapy group, you may have a different therapist for each visit. Always ask questions before

and after a treatment so you can continue to work on the healing process on your own and so you know which activities are safe, which should change as your treatment progresses.

Physical therapists play an integral role in helping restore patients’ mobility and helping them avoid further injury so that patients can maximize their quality of life.

PumPkin

IngredIents:FILLIng1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin purée1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt PIe CrUst1 1/3 cups all purpose flour1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 cup vegetable shortening3 to 6 tablespoons ice cold water

dIreCtIons:Preheat oven to 425 F. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. With

a pastry blender or fork, cut in shortening and butter until mixture re-sembles course crumbs. sprinkle in 3 to 5 tablespoons ice water, a table-spoon at a time. Mix lightly with a fork after each addition, until dough is just moist enough to hold together. shape dough into a ball. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. roll out onto a lightly floured surface in the shape of a circle until dough is less than 1/4 inch thick. roll the dough around the rolling pin, lift up, and unroll over a 9-inch pie plate. Using your fingers, gently pat the dough into place. trim any excess dough with a paring knife or kitchen shears, leaving a 1-inch overhang; then fold dough under to reinforce the edge.

Whisk the pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, spices and salt in medium bowl until smooth. Pour into crust. Bake for 15 minutes.

reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted 1 inch from crust comes out clean. Cool. garnish with whipped cream. store leftovers covered in refrigerator.

Classic Pumpkin Pie

With Whipped Cream

Health facts: Pumpkins are a good source of nutrition.

They are low in calories, fat and sodium and high in fiber. They are loaded with vitamins A and B and potassium. The seeds are very high in protein and are an excellent source of B vitamins and iron.

Because pumpkins are 90 percent water, they are low calorie. one cup of canned pumpkin only has 83 calories and only half a gram of fat. In comparison, the same serving size of sweet potato has triple the calories. They also have more fiber than kale, more potassium than ba-nanas, and are full of heart-healthy mag-nesium and iron.

Fun pumpkin facts: The word “pumpkin” showed up for the first time in the fairy tale Cinderella.

The original jack-o’-lanterns were made with turnips and potatoes by the Irish.

A pumpkin is really a squash and is a member of the Cucurbita family, which includes squash and cucumbers.

The largest pumpkin ever grown weighed in at 2,036 pounds in 2014.

Pumpkins are grown all over the world except Antarctica.

The largest pumpkin pie ever made was more than five feet in diameter and weighed more than 350 pounds. It used 80 pounds of cooked pumpkin, 36 pounds of sugar, 12 dozen eggs and took six hours to bake.

In early colonial times, pumpkins were used as an ingredient for the crust of pies, not the filling.

native Americans used pumpkin seeds for food and medicine and weaved dried strips of pumpkin into mats. 

The town of Morton, Ill., is the self-declared pumpkin capital of the world.

Pumpkins were once used to cure snake bites

and remove freckles. The largest pumpkin pie ever baked weighed 2,020 pounds.

Pumpkin pie originated in the colonies, just not as we know it today. Colonists would cut the tops of pumpkins off, remove the seeds, and fill the pumpkins with milk, spices and honey, and bake them in hot ashes.  each pumpkin has about 500 seeds.

Pumpkins are 90 percent water.

There are more than 45 different varieties of pumpkin. They range in color like red, white, yellow and green, and have names like Hooligan, Cotton Candy and orange smoothie.
