Dr. Feldman’s Radio Interview

Here is a link to listen to Dr. Feldman’s recent interview. In it, he discussed trail running and offered many running suggestions.

To all you runners out there, he gives lots of good advice on why trail running is beneficial and why treadmill running might not be the best.

Here is the transcript. You can click the play button at the bottom to listen to the recording.

OMD (One Meal A Day) Might Work For You

I've been sharing my adventures with eating lots of bacon, eating a keto diet, and meal prepping. I like to try new things because I get bored easily.

I was talking to a patient of mine recently who lost over 100 lbs. Whenever that happens, I am always curious how they did it.

Many patients today are using Ozempic and Mounjaro to lose weight, but I learned about intermittent fasting, which is a way to lose or maintain weight.

Monday through Friday, I do something called OMD, or "one meal a day." I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out!

The Obesity Code: A Game-Changer 

I read Dr. Jason Fung's book, The Obesity Code, and it was a total eye-opener. He talks about different diets and how our bodies work (you can get the CliffsNotes version in my video HERE).

I listened to it on Audible while driving, which changed my perspective. One of the eating schedules he mentions is OMD (One Meal a Day), and it worked for me and for many of my very busy patients.

From Six Meals to One: A Journey 

I used to prepare six small meals a day, but it was a hassle and didn't yield any results. It involved massive food prepping on the weekend and a constantly full fridge. So, I switched to OMD, and it was a total turnaround.

Intermittent fasting worked, but it took time to adjust. My inspiration? Dr. Feldman! He'd often work all day without lunch, and I thought, "If Neil can do it, so can I!"

My Patients Transformation...

As I was saying, I was talking to my patient, who lost over 100 lbs through fasting. It only took him 5 years to do what I recommended.

I am not a diet doctor, and I don’t play one on TV, but I like health and feel that some patients benefit from fasting.

To be sure, check with your doctor if you have any questions.

Question Of The Week

What is this new Lapiplasty bunion surgery?

There is a new bunion procedure that is being advertised directly to patients. It is called “Lapiplasty,” and it is the same surgery called a Lapidus procedure that has been done for years. This procedure is good for larger bunions or for those that are younger as there is less of a risk of the bunion coming back. The name “Lapiplasty” was invented by a surgical device company to market their screws and plates to the patient directly. This is a good procedure but talk to your doctor if you are a good candidate.

To see if you are a good candidate make an appointment to see Drs. Saviet, Feldman or Monette.
