LETTER FROM THE EDITOR the

Health Journal Southside Edition

photo by Brian M. Freer

very day I pause to remind myself of how fortunate Brian and I are to be surrounded by family and friends, whose love and support guide us through this new phase of life known as parenthood. We’ve found comfort in a circle of fellow first-timers who, from the trenches, offer their advice and reassurance. One such couple lives just three doors down from us. At first glance, our lives seem on a parallel track. Four busy, thirty-something professionals, all first-time parents with like interests. Jen and I learned last winter that we were both expecting. Coincidentally, we had been given the same due date. Last spring we both delivered healthy babies— they had a boy and we had a girl—two days apart. But as far as our pregnancies go, the differences were more than just pink versus blue. Jen could pinpoint the exact day she conceived, while I had more of a “guesstimate.” I hid the scale; she kept a spreadsheet of her weight gain and charted the results on a graph. Our nursery was ready by Christmas; until last month they had another family living in what is now the nursery. I carried pepper spray in my purse (to quell Brian’s anxiety), while Jen and her husband, on weekends, continued to help Newport News’ homeless through their church’s ministry. Jen asked guests to bring secondhand gifts to her baby shower, whereas I registered at a baby superstore for new, expensive items, many of which now seem superfluous. Other differences lay in our decisions about prenatal care. Jen chose a midwifery center; I chose an obstetrician. She took an active role in her care, seeking second opinions whenever possible and weighing the benefits and risks of every test or treatment. I didn’t follow up on one important test result—assuming all was clear— only to learn that I had been diagnosed with a common bacterium, one that’s harmless to adults but can pose serious risks to an infant during delivery. After arriving at the hospital in labor, I was ordered two doses of intravenous antibiotics right away and advised to stay one extra night for observation. (Following up on test results is just one wise practice that can prevent medical mishaps, as you’ll read in this month’s feature story on page 22.) Jen also shopped around for the best price on prenatal care. Her consumer-driven health plan (also known as a health care savings account) rewards members for frugality. It provides, as she says, an incentive to conserve health care dollars, whereas many of us who have health insurance seldom question the cost unless it comes directly out of our pockets. As our adventures in parenthood continue, Jen and I can laugh about our domestic differences—a pet rabbit roams her house; we have a German shepherd. They drive a compact car; our station wagon seats seven. But what keeps us coming back to each other’s door, besides the proximity, is the comfort we find in knowing we are on the same path, experiencing the joys, struggles and milestones, tiny and big, that each new day of parenting brings. I’ve even taken a few cues from Jen’s modus vivendi, checking out consignment sales and yard sales for good baby buys. She reminds me of the importance of opening up our hearts, and our minds, and of not becoming consumed by “stuff.” Certainly when it comes to the important things in life, we both have more than enough.

“W

e were nervous,” says Dr. Gary Woods, recalling the first year he and three other pediatric medical residents at Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters (CHKD)—Drs. Matt McCallister, Sarah Northrop and Kellease Williams—took the helm of Norfolk’s Daisy Troop 396, part of the Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast. “On our first year, we weren’t sure what our job was, or what our roles would be, so we kind of went in shooting from the hip.” Woods already knew that emergency room duty is tough. But it was a roomful of healthy girls that really put him and fellow residents to the test. “They’re really smart,” he says. “You put a couple of five-year-old girls

together, and they’re pretty much a mastermind.” Founded in 1912, the Girl Scouts of America offers scouting opportunities for girls grades kindergarten through 12, with a ranking system that goes like this: Daisy, Brownie, Junior, Cadet, Senior and Ambassador. Through field trips, skill-building clinics, craft and community service projects, cultural exchanges and environmental stewardships, scouting introduces girls to a character-building environment that offers them the tools for future success and reinforces their leadership skills, values, social conscience and conviction about their own potential. So who better to lead these future leaders than members of our own medical community who are already

dedicated to nurturing, educating and healing society? Woods and fellow resident Dr. Matt McCallister were recruited by CHKD infectious disease specialist Dr. Laura Sass (whose daughter is a Daisy Scout), who put out the word during inpatient rounds at the hospital that Troop 396 was in desperate need of volunteers. “We were having trouble getting leaders,” says Sass. “I really didn’t think that anyone would be interested. But Gary and Matt approached me the next day.” Three out of the four residents who volunteered had no prior experience in scouting, and none were yet parents. Still, Sass knew the physicians were committed to children based on their career choices.

For information on opportunities with the Girl Scouts of America, contact the Girl Scout Council of the Colonial Coast at (757) 547-4405 or visit their Web site at www.gsccc.org. “And the girls love them,” Sass says. “Including my daughter.” Woods agrees that Scout leadership of a Daisy troop is a perfect volunteer job for pediatric residents. And not just because, as he jokes, “it gives me an excuse to play with glitter.” Their volunteer work has given Woods and his fellow physicians a unique perspective: “These little girls have taught us a lot,” he says. “Many of the children we see in the hospital are sick, so you don’t get to see them when they’re in their own environment, when they’re feeling well.” According to Linda Minner, media and communications coordinator for the City of Virginia Beach and mother of a Girl Scout from another troop: “Scouting is wonderful for our youth. Especially in the age of electronics, where television and computers [often replace] basketball, roller skating and hiking.” Elizabeth Farry, community rela-

tions manager for the Girl Scout Council of the Colonial Coast (GSCCC), says Scouting is “truly beneficial to a young girl’s growth, both physically and emotionally.” She points to a 2006 report, “The New Normal: What Girls Say About Healthy Living,” released by the Girl Scout Research Institute, which reveals that as many as one-third of girls ages eight to 17 years have a distorted perception of their weight, and that 30 percent of normal-weight girls ages 16 to 17 try to lose weight. In response, GSCCC offers the “Uniquely Me” program, which helps girls develop healthy body images, learn to handle peer pressure, and respect themselves and others. Physical exercise has always been an integral part of the Girl Scout experience. Every summer at Girl Scout camps held nationwide, girls can engage in challenging rope courses, swimming and boating activities as well as learn about nutrition. Sass

reports that the girls are given “activities that move them—camping, exercise, walking to put out food-drive flyers—so much more than cookies!” These programs empower the girls to live healthy lives, but Farry emphasizes that Girl Scouts couldn’t do this without the “help and support of caring adult members,” and notes that “the positive influence of just one caring adult on a child will last a lifetime.” Woods and his fellow troop leaders hope to recruit a few more Daisies this fall. “We don’t have a full troop yet,” he says. “We have eight girls, and 10 to 12 is what we’re looking for.” Until the troop fills up, Woods and colleagues are busy getting to know the girls and “teaching them some of the basics” such as the Girl Scout Promise and Law. “A recent activity taught them about honesty and fairness,” says Woods. “But we also do fun, holidaybased things, like Easter-egg hunts,

and Valentine’s Day crafts.” Lessons in sharing and service encourage young girls to give back to their community. For example, a Virginia Beach Daisy troop is collecting flip-flops for wounded soldiers in area VA hospitals, and another local troop has decided to pick up litter at a nearby park. Other troops choose to participate in food and clothing drives. And of course, there are the cookies. Farry points out that this year’s Daisy troops, previously thought to be too young to sell Girl Scout cookies, are joining this time-honored tradition that now teaches communication skills and business planning to Girl Scouts of all levels. As for Woods and his fellow volunteers, working with Troop 396 has been a learning experience for them, too. Looking back on the past year, Woods says he has learned one important lesson: “I know it sounds cliché,” he says, “but expect the unexpected.” HJ

In Wake of Flu Scare, 18 Area Hospitals Enact Visiting Policy Change for Children 2009 H1N1 flu virus continues to spread across nation and within region

n an effort to protect hospital patients from the spread of 2009 H1N1 and seasonal flu, 18 Hampton Roads hospitals will prohibit minors from entering their facilities unless the children require medical care. Limited exceptions may be made for expectant and new fathers under the age of 18 and children visiting patients who have a limited life expectancy. Exceptions will be allowed at the discretion of a patient’s attending physician and hospital leadership. This visiting policy change will remain in effect during the regular flu season and so long as the prevalence of flu in the region is extraordinarily high. This age restriction reflects the higher prevalence of 2009 H1N1 among children and adolescents, putting them at greater risk of carrying the virus into health care settings. Medical evidence suggests infected individuals can transmit the virus as much as 24 hours before displaying symptoms. The 2009 H1N1 virus began spreading throughout the region before seasonal flu cases typically arise. State Health Commissioner Karen Remley, M.D., responded to the new policy by saying: “I applaud this regional approach to community safety and infection prevention. Every Virginian wants to maximize safety for hospitalized patients.” Any individuals displaying symptoms of influenza-like illness should not enter area hospitals. Symptoms of flu include: fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle aches, chills, and sometimes vomiting and diarrhea. Hospital leaders say they understand the inconvenience this policy change may cause families. However, they ask the community to understand the critical need to control the spread of the H1N1 flu virus. Until further notice, the following Hampton Roads hospitals will not permit visitors under the age of 18 unless special circumstances warrant an exception: Bon Secours DePaul Medical Center Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center Chesapeake Regional Medical Center Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters Naval Medical Center Portsmouth Riverside Regional Medical Center Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital Riverside Tappahannock Hospital Riverside Walter Reed Hospital Sentara Bayside Hospital Sentara CarePlex Hospital Sentara Heart Hospital Sentara Leigh Hospital Sentara Norfolk General Hospital Sentara Obici Hospital Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center HJ

PREVENTION

A New Flu Season Widespread cases of H1N1 in Hampton Roads inject new fear into this year’s flu season Written By Sharon Cindrich

ore throat, muscle aches, fever, coughs and sneezes. It’s flu season again, and while each year brings a variety of strains and flu outbreaks, the prevalence of new H1N1 flu is making this year’s flu season even trickier—and more treacherous—than usual. Many people do not have immunities to the 2009 H1N1 “swine flu” virus, which has spread so fast that the World Health Organization has declared it the first pandemic in almost 40 years. Unlike most flu viruses, which peak in January and February, the H1N1 virus caused illness throughout the summer months (when flu viruses are rare) and is now running rampant through our region. It’s not too late to get vaccinated. Local health departments are offering free H1N1 vaccine clinics, though supplies wax and wane. The state is expecting additional shipments this month, but it is not clear how many of the estimated 6.8 million doses made available in the U.S. will be allocated to Hampton Roads. The CDC has designated Dec. 6–12 National Influenza Vaccination Week to emphasize the importance of continuing flu vaccinations through the months of December and January. As flu season progresses, review these general facts about the flu as well as specific recommendations relating to the novel H1N1 strain:

1) What are the symptoms of the flu? Cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue are the most common flu symptoms. H1N1 Update—While diarrhea and vomiting can be associated with the general flu, these symptoms may be more common in individuals with the H1N1 flu virus.

2) Who is most at risk? Anyone can get the flu. Traditionally, however, infants, pregnant women, the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions are more at risk of serious complications or death. H1N1 Update—This year’s H1N1 flu has been more prevalent than other flu types among five to 24-year-olds, making this population first in line (behind health care workers, some infants, and pregnant women) to get the vaccine. Unlike with the seasonal flu, those 65 and older are not considered highrisk. It is suspected that older individuals may have

developed some immunity to the H1N1 flu strain if they were alive during the 1950s swine flu outbreak.

3) Should I get vaccinated? Each year the CDC recommends that seasonal flu vaccines are the best way to protect against anticipated flu strains. H1N1 Update—The seasonal flu vaccine does not protect individuals against the H1N1 flu strain, so a second vaccine specific to the H1N1 flu has been developed and is being offered in clinics across the country. There are two forms of vaccine: a shot and a nasal mist. Ask your doctor which form of the vaccine is right for you, as the mist is not recommended for everyone. Those who do get the H1N1 vaccine should remember that it takes two weeks to become effective.

4) What do I do if I get the flu? The seasonal flu can be treated with any one of four antiviral medications. These prescription medications are sometimes used to prevent the flu in cases where a high-risk individual has been in close contact with someone who has the flu. These drugs, if taken early, may lessen the symptoms associated with the flu or possibly prevent serious complications. H1N1 Update—Of the four antiviral medications, only two appear to be effective against the H1N1 flu virus—Oseltamivir (TAMIFLU®) and Zanamivir (RELENZA®). An antiviral should be administered within 48 hours of the first symptoms for maximum effectiveness.

5) How can I follow news about the flu? When serious flu outbreaks occur, local health departments may issue warnings or recommendations to the public. School districts may also inform parents of local outbreaks. H1N1 Update—Due to the concerns about H1N1, websites have cropped up to publicize flu news and reported cases. For instance, the Department of Health and Human Services has set up www.flu.gov for this purpose.

Additional Tips Proper hand-washing and vaccines may be a familiar routine for preventing the flu, but this year extra caution is being taken to educate the public and

THE HEALTH JOURNAL November 2009

encourage preventative measures. People carrying the H1N1 virus may be contagious even before they show symptoms. Follow these tips to protect yourself and others from this year’s flu strains.

• Get a seasonal flu vaccine. Talk to your family doctor about the flu vaccine. Certain individuals, such as pregnant women, infants, the elderly and people with underlying medical problems, are more susceptible to seasonal flu and complications from it. The CDC recommends the seasonal flu vaccine as one of the best measures to help people stay healthy.

• Get an H1N1 flu vaccine. While the vaccine may be difficult to get in some areas, those at high risk for infection should get the vaccine as soon as possible. Call your health department, school district or family doctor for updates about when and where clinics are being held in your community.

• Remember hygiene. Hand-washing remains one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of influenza. Use soap and water to frequently wash your hands, or use hand sanitizers that contain at least 60 percent alcohol. Keep hands away from your eyes, mouth and nose and cover your mouth and nose with your arm when you sneeze.

• Stay home if you are sick. Aside from a visit to the doctor, the CDC recommends that if you do get the flu, stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone (without the use of fever-reducing medicines) before returning to work, school or social gatherings. HJ

THE REFORM ISSUE

Understanding the Public Option This month both the House and Senate will debate individual versions of sweeping health care reform legislation aimed at reducing costs, expanding coverage for Americans and regulating the private insurance market. President Barack Obama, who has made health reform his number-one domestic priority, has set a yearend deadline for enacting a bill. Here, The Health Journal provides a brief guide to understanding a pivotal piece of the puzzle—the public option. The public option—what is it? The public option, more recently dubbed the “consumer option,” refers to a governmentrun health insurance program that would be made available to those not already insured through an employer-sponsored health plan or Medicaid. Those who support a public option argue it would increase competition among private insurers (who are currently exempt from anti-trust laws) and drive costs down, while opponents say it would drive insurers out of business.

Where does it stand in the House and Senate? The public option will be at the heart of the Senate and House debates. At press time, the House had merged several preliminary bills into one and expected it to reach the chamber’s floor for debate by the first week of this month. The Senate was to go through the same process with its bill (see box at right). After each bill is debated on its respective floor—a process that could result in a Republican filibuster, a tactic used to kill legislation via unlimited debate—each chamber must vote on its bill. If each chamber passes a bill, both versions will be reconciled into one comprehensive bill and then sent back to each chamber for final vote before the bill is placed on the president’s desk.

one million Virginians) and help them pay for it via government subsidies. The caveat? The proposed legislation must not cost more than $900 billion upfront, remain budget-neutral (i.e., not add to the federal budget deficit) after 10 years and not further tax the middle class. The proposed cost-saving and revenue-generating practices such as taxing top-tier health plans, increasing efficiencies, and establishing malpractice caps (i.e., tort reform) will only offset so much of the cost of insuring millions. Some lawmakers note that the $894-billion price tag on the House’s current bill hinges on an estimated 21 percent cut (due in 2010) to alreadytoo-low Medicare reimbursements to physicians, which in some parts of the country are forcing physicians to limit new Medicare patients. The American Medical Association is asking Congress to postpone these cuts yet another year, but a motion to end the cuts is an entirely unique bill outside of the scope of reform. HJ

How will the public option be funded? The devil is in the details. President Obama expects any health reform legislation to provide access to care for a majority of the currently 46.3 million uninsured Americans (including

“I am afraid of public-run health care [because it will come] between doctor and patient. I do not see why the government cannot establish a framework of laws to increase competition in the private insurance market..” —Joseph S., construction company president

“The only people benefiting from the existing health care system are insurance companies and their stockholders. —Susan B., non-profit director “We have a free-market system now. Can the government do a better job than the insurance industry? I don’t know. I fear the government will become a middleman, creating too much red tape.” —Jennifer I., NASA physicist

I believe that every person deserves the right to health care. —Kendra C., 2009 Virginia Tech graduate, currently unemployed “I don’t want the government to run my life any more than [it does] now.” —Cindy S., office administrator “I think the public option is a distraction from the goal of insuring everyone so that there are fewer “free riders” in the health care system. The entire payment structure for health care is based on an inflated set of charges for goods and services that are intended to cover the costs of those who do not pay, and those who do not pay enough to cover their costs.” —Peter M., health care attorney

What is the “trigger”? Some lawmakers (including Republican Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine, whose vote against party lines allowed a reform bill to pass through the Senate Finance Committee) support a “trigger,” or a clause in legislation that would activate the public option only if the insurance market fails to regulate itself. Democrats say a trigger would only delay or kill real reform; Republicans believe a public option would only pave the way for a single-payer system, or a biggovernment takeover.

“[My husband] and I both feel strongly in favor of a public option. After all, it’s only an option—folks will still have other choices. —Patty A., home health company director

A tale of two bills House—The current bill would offer coverage to 36 million American citizens by 2019 and reduce the budget deficit in 10 years. It would require the government to negotiate payment rates with care providers and all but the smallest companies to offer health benefits. Private insurers would not be allowed to deny or quit coverage based on pre-existing health conditions. The bill calls for an insurance mandate, meaning all citizens would be required to obtain coverage either through their employer or independently. Senate—A bill is still under development and has been sent to the Congressional Budget Office for a cost estimate before it hits the Senate floor. The original bill introduced by the Senate Finance Committee (i.e., the “Baucus Bill,” named for committee leader Max Baucus, [D-Mont.]) lacked a public option, but recently Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) included it in the final version, but states may have the ability to “opt out.” The final bill may call for an individual mandate, similar to how people are required to purchase car insurance or face a penalty.

Study Indicates More Kids Have Autism than Once Thought Written By Megan Brooks NEW YORK (Reuters Health)

ou may have heard the oftquoted statistic that autism affects one in 150 children in the United States. Turns out it’s more like one in 91 overall—and about one in 58 boys, according to new figures. That’s an estimated 673,000 U.S. children—or approximately one percent of all U.S. kids, researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta and Harvard Medical School in Boston report in the journal Pediatrics. Bob Wright, co-founder of the autism advocacy group Autism Speaks, told Reuters Health he’s not at all surprised by the new figures. “We’ve been screaming about the numbers going up; now there is a relatively complete recognition of it.” “The statistical aspect of autism is just staggering,” he said, and not enough is being done about it. “If we had one in 58 boys getting swine flu, the country would be crazy.” Autism is a brain disorder characterized by problems with social interaction, repetitive behavior and other symptoms. People with a mild version called Asperg-

er’s syndrome usually function relatively well in society, although they have problems relating to others. People with the most extreme symptoms may be unable to speak and may also suffer severe mental illness and retardation. No one knows what causes autism— it’s generally thought to have genetic and environmental triggers—and there is currently no good treatment. Autism is “an urgent public health concern,” Dr. Ileana Arias, deputy director of CDC, told reporters on a conference call before the data was released to the public in October. The new data, she said, “confirm that a concerted effort and a substantial national response is warranted in addressing the issue.” On Sept. 30, President Barack Obama promised a large infusion of funds into autism research, as part of plans to spend $5 billion on medical and scientific research, medical supplies and upgrading laboratory capacity. The new figures on autism cases stem from a 2007 telephone survey conducted jointly by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and CDC. More than 78,000 parents of children between the ages of three and 17 were asked whether they had ever been told

Maximizing Your Medicare Advantage Plan Medicare Advantage Enrollment Season is Nov. 15 through Dec. 31 Written By Kathy McVey

f you are one of the seven million Americans on a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan, it’s time to prepare for the coming enrollment season, which will last from Nov. 15 through Dec. 31. Medicare Advantage plans are health plan options offered by private insurance companies and approved by Medicare. Medicare itself is government-regulated health insurance for people age 65 or older, those under age 65 with certain disabilities and anyone with end-stage renal disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant). Most people automatically receive Medicare benefits upon turning 65; forty-three million Americans are now on Medicare. Medicare Advantage (MA) plans often offer all the coverage of original Medicare and more, with valueadded benefits such as vision, hearing, fitness and/or health and wellness programs. Many MA plans offer lower copayments and cover additional benefits and services not covered by original Medicare. Additionally, some plans include prescription drug coverage. Being familiar with your MA plan helps you maximize your benefits. Each year, the six weeks between

Nov. 15 and Dec. 31 comprise Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period. This is the time of year when seniors can elect to stay with their existing MA plan or enroll with another plan. In addition to this enrollment period, there are other opportunities throughout the year (such as initial enrollment, when a person turns 65; or various other opportunities) in which you can join, switch or drop an MA plan. Savvy MA plan shoppers should carefully consider their own situation and needs as well as know the rules of the MA system. Once you’re enrolled, your coverage begins on Jan. 1 of the following year. The MA Annual Enrollment Period is a six-week period in which you must make a decision that will ultimately affect you the entire following year. So, how do you evaluate an MA plan? There are five key areas to consider. First is the monthly premium. Many MA plans require low premiums or none at all, but remember, premium isn’t everything. You want value for your dollar. Second is the network of physicians and hospitals. Does the plan offer a strong network of providers? Are the doctors you need in the health plan’s network? Third is the cost for a physi-

cian visit or other medical services. What will your out-of-pocket expenses be each month? Can you afford these costs? Fourth is pharmacy coverage. If you are looking for an MA plan with this coverage, what drugs are covered that you currently take? Make sure you’re getting the coverage that you need. And finally, the fifth area to consider is the wellness and preventive services programs that an MA plan offers. These value-added benefits can really add up. Does the plan offer immunizations, such as flu and pneumonia shots, annual physicals, mammogram and prostate exams, discounts on health clubs and gyms, etc.? These added benefits can truly be a deal breaker as you evaluate various plans. Ultimately, selecting an MA plan is a personal choice that should be made with careful consideration. Always work with reputable agents with established insurance companies to ensure you don’t get duped. They will help you understand all the choices available to you and help you pick the choice that best fits your needs. HJ Kathy McVey is the manager of Medicare sales at Optima Health, a Virginia-based health plan with more than 415,000 members, nationally-recognized for its quality, service and innovative programs.

Favorite Fitness Tools Written By Gayle Pinn

Photography By Brian M. Freer

The following fitness tools are some of my personal favorites because they are effective, versatile and easy to use. These items are generally available for use at your local fitness facility or can be purchased at a sporting goods store. Try the exercises below for a more dynamic workout. HJ

Gayle Pinn is the owner of Results Personal Training Studio. She’s a certified personal trainer and spinning instructor with 12 years of experience in the fitness industry. She specializes in oneon-one personal training for all fitness levels. She can be reached at resultsstudio@gmail.com.

Body Bar

A body bar is a long metal bar covered in rubber; they come in various weights from three to 36 lbs. Using the body bar allows you to perform traditional barbell exercises such as the chest press and bicep curl. Personal trainers may also use body bars vertically (like a hiking stick) to aid people who have difficulty balancing while squatting or lunging. Body bars can also be used in group fitness classes because they are versatile and come in a wide range of weights.

Try this move: One-legged lunge

Use the body bar vertically like a hiking stick by placing one end of the bar on the ground and then grasping the other end. Then, with your right foot on the floor and the left foot behind you on a bench, bend your right knee and lower your body toward the floor. All of your body weight should be pressed into your right heel. Keep your right knee over your right ankle (i.e., don’t let the knee extend beyond your toes). Return to starting position. Perform 10 to 15 repetitions on each leg.

Medicine Ball

A medicine ball is a weighted ball usually made of leather, rubber or vinyl and filled with either gel or sand. These balls range in weight from two to 25 lbs. Athletes use medicine balls to achieve higher fitness levels, and you can use them in your strength-training program, too. These simple tools can help increase your range of motion while improving your core strength and coordination. An added bonus is that you can use them with a workout partner.

Try this move: Explosive throw-downs

This move can be performed while kneeling, seated or standing. Choose a ball that’s about eight to 12 lbs. and filled with gel (so it’ll bounce). Hold the medicine ball in both hands above your head and then throw the ball downwards using as much force as you can, contracting your abdominals continuously. Catch the ball as it bounces back and repeat. Or, if working with a partner, allow him or her to catch the ball, and repeat the exercise. Perform about 15 to 20 reps or until fatigued.

THE HEALTH JOURNAL November 2009

BOSU

Personal trainers and physical therapists use the BOSU as a balance-training tool. It resembles a large plastic ball cut in half. Both sides can be used for exercise, but the easiest and most versatile side is the one that looks like a half-ball. Take most any typical exercise—such as bicep curls or bicycle abs—and either sit or stand on the BOSU and voila—you’ve got a core-challenging exercise. When you’re standing on an unstable surface, your core muscles must continuously contract to maintain your balance. This is a great fitness tool if your goal is to improve your balance, strengthen your core or just add a new and interesting element to your training. You can use one or even two BOSUs at a time (e.g., place one foot on each BOSU) depending on the exercise.

Try this move: Balance squat and jumps

Place each foot squarely on top of a BOSU and squat as if you were on level ground. Perform 15 to 20 reps or until fatigued. Once you have mastered the squat, try jumping. Start in a squatting position and jump as high as you feel comfortable before landing back in a squat. Work up to jumping a few inches off each BOSU. If you lose your balance at any time, just step back on the BOSUs and try again. Perform 10 to 20 jumps or until fatigued.

‘Good’ Dietary Fats Trim Body Fat in Diabetic Women Written By Amy Norton–NEW YORK (Reuters Health)

ating certain kinds of fats may actually help obese women with diabetes trim some body fat, a small study suggests. The study, of 35 older women with type 2 diabetes, found that supplements containing two types of fats—conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) or safflower oil—led to healthy changes in body composition over four months. With CLA, the women saw a dip in body mass index (BMI)—a measure of weight in relation to height—and in their total level of body fat.

35 obese women with an average age of 60. Each took either eight grams of the safflower oil supplement or eight grams of the CLA supplement every day for 16 weeks; after a one-month break, the women then switched to the other supplement. Overall, Belury’s team found, the women showed a small decline in BMI and shed a couple pounds of body fat while on CLA. There was no change in their blood sugar levels or muscle mass. In contrast, while on safflower oil, the women lost body fat in the trunk

It is too soon to recommend that overweight women with diabetes buy conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) or safflower oil supplements, but they can try to fit more polyunsaturated fats into their diet. With safflower oil, the women’s BMI did not change, but they typically shed a couple pounds of fat from the trunk area; they also showed improvements in their blood sugar levels, which signals better diabetes control. CLA is an unsaturated fatty acid found in beef, lamb and dairy products. Animal research has found that CLA can help melt away body fat, and some studies have suggested the same may hold true in humans. Safflower oil is rich in omega-6 polyunsaturated fats, but exactly how it might affect body fat and blood sugar is unknown, says Dr. Martha Belury, an author of the study and a professor of nutrition at Ohio State University in Columbus. She explained that she and her colleagues were simply using safflower oil as a comparison substance to gauge the effects of CLA. The former, it turned out, had its own unique benefits. It is too soon to recommend that overweight women with diabetes buy CLA or safflower oil supplements. But they can try to fit more polyunsaturated fats into their diet, Belury told Reuters Health. “Don’t get rid of the healthy fats in your diet when you get rid of the bad ones,” she advises. The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, included

area and gained some muscle mass, while their blood sugar levels showed a general decline. “These fats seem to work very differently from each other,” Belury said. More research is needed to understand why that is, according to the researchers. Studies suggest that CLA affects enzymes involved in body-fat storage, which may explain its benefits for body composition—but its potential effects on diabetes are unclear. The supplement did not affect blood-sugar control in this study, and a previous study of diabetic adults found that CLA actually raised blood-sugar levels. For now, Belury recommended that people try to work polyunsaturated oils into their diets—eating salads with oiland-vinegar dressing, for instance, or cooking vegetables with the oils instead of butter. She noted that the amount of safflower oil used in this study was equivalent to just under two teaspoons a day, which is easy to get through food. A number of other oils, like sunflower and corn oils, are also high in omega-6 polyunsaturated fats. On the other hand, the amount of CLA used in the study would be tough to get through the diet. A liter of full-fat milk, for example, contains only about one gram of CLA. HJ

Settling the Calorie Score How much would it take to burn off the typical holiday meal? 1 slice

Written By Bridgit Kin-Charlton

he holiday season, ever inching its way closer, is a time of celebration that leads many to overindulge. Teeming with tasty temptations, the holidays can present challenges for those of us trying to maintain healthy habits. Brimming buffets, baked goods, and bottomless punch bowls can create anxiety for the calorie-conscious struggling to either stay at their current weight or slim down. But joining in on the celebration doesn’t have to spell dietary disaster. If you can’t resist Mom’s Famous Pumpkin Pie or Uncle Pete’s Spiced Eggnog, you can stop the scale from budging by upping the exercise ante. Here are a few favorite holiday treats matched with how much of a particular exercise it would take to offset the calories you’d consume.

FEATURE Written By Alison Johnson PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIAN M. FREER

ere’s a scary statistic: Preventable medical errors occur roughly 15 million times a year, according to the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. That includes mistakes with prescription medications and in doctors’ offices and hospitals, which can range from minor to deadly. Luckily, doctors say patients have more control over their safety than they might think. People who educate themselves on the medicines, tests and procedures they need—and ask lots of questions—do better than passive types. “Most doctors appreciate patients who take some responsibility for keeping up with their own health care,” says Dr. Jim Schmidt, a pediatric emergency specialist in Norfolk. Here are five major mix-ups that occur, and some steps patients can take to protect themselves:

1. MISSING TEST RESULTS

Medical Mix-Ups

and how to avoid them

The results of screening and laboratory tests don’t always make it to patients. A Weill Cornell Medical College study published earlier this year found that about seven percent of abnormal results never get to patients in primary care practices. Paperwork may get lost in busy labs and offices or mistakenly filed before a doctor sees it. Medical practices also may not have systems to record which patients have gotten their results. Patients should never assume “no news is good news” but should always call to check, Schmidt urges. “Until medicine progresses to a more integrated medical record [system], a system of many standalone symptoms makes following results a real challenge,” he says. “I recommend that each patient clearly ask their doctor how or if they should expect to get their results. Patients should not make assumptions but instead ask their doctor after each test if they are uncertain about how results will be shared. In some medical systems, no news is good news; in others, no news means a potential oversight. Some systems ask patients to call for results; others will send them automatically.”

2. PRESCRIPTION DRUG ERRORS More than 3,000 medications have similar names to other drugs on the market, according to a 2008 report by U.S. Pharmacopeia, a nonprofit that promotes patient safety. There’s Klonopin for seizures and Clonidine for high blood pressure, for example, and Zyrtec for allergies and Zantac for acid reflux. Errors can stem from a doctor’s bad handwriting,

a busy pharmacist grabbing the wrong pills or a patient mispronouncing a needed medication. Patients should know how to say and spell the name of a drug they’ve been prescribed, as well as the dosage and the reason they’re taking it. They also can talk to a pharmacist when picking up a medication, says Dave Merryfield, director of clinical pharmacy programs for Sentara Healthcare. “Sometimes consumers feel like they’re in too big a hurry,” Merryfield says. “But there’s real value in those conversations, and a lot of mistakes can be caught during them.” It’s also wise for the doctor

two of the biggest concerns for hospitalized patients. Electronic medical records and bar-coded bracelets— which caregivers must match with medications—are making a big difference, but patients still need to be assertive, says Dr. Gene Burke, vice president and executive medical director for clinical effectiveness at Sentara Healthcare. That includes asking doctors, nurses and visitors if they’ve washed their hands and questioning medications and tests not discussed previously with a doctor. “Don’t feel in the least bit timid,” Burke advises. “A responsible caregiver won’t take it as insulting. They will welcome having a partner in the process.” Patients and family members also should repeat back instructions from doctors and medical staff to ensure they’re clearly understood. In addition, patients should know the basics of how medical monitors work and, if they have a catheter, intravenous line or ventilator, have a daily conversation with a doctor about the need for that device. Catheters, IVs and ventilators raise the risk of, respectively, urinary tract infections, bloodstream infections and pneumonia. Patients with an IV in their hand or arm should expect to have it changed every two or three days, Burke adds, and catheter bags should never be raised above a patient’s bladder (otherwise, urine can run back

“For a long time, hospital-acquired infections were taken as a cost of doing business. Now we see that if we create an atmosphere of awareness and accountability, most of them are preventable.”— Dr. Gene Burke to write what a medication is for on a prescription—“for arthritis,” next to Celebrex, say—and for the consumer to ask questions if a refilled medication looks different. “It may simply be a new generic product,” Merryfield notes, “but it’s always smart to check.”

3. NEGATIVE DRUG INTERACTIONS Every medication has the potential to do harm in combination with another drug, whether by reducing effectiveness or doing dangerous damage. The blood thinner Coumadin, taken with certain overthe-counter painkillers such as Aleve and Motrin, for example, can lead to serious gastrointestinal bleeding. Patients need to make sure their pharmacist and all of their doctors have a written list of every medication they take, Merryfield says—not just prescriptions but also over-the-counter pills, vitamins, supplements and herbals. Filling prescriptions at a single pharmacy helps, Merryfield adds. Pharmacies keep detailed records on each customer and can double-check for potential interactions. “If you go to too many places, sometimes the right hand may not know what the left hand is doing,” he warns. Patients also should read labels carefully to learn about proper dosing, common side effects and instructions on when and how to take a medicine, including the time of day and whether to take it with or without food.

4. IN-HOSPITAL ERRORS Preventable infections and medication mistakes are

into the body). “For a long time, these infections were taken as a cost of doing business,” he says. “Now we see that if we create an atmosphere of awareness and accountability, most of them are preventable.”

5. SURGICAL ERRORS Patients who know their medical history— medications, allergies and previous surgeries—are great allies for surgeons, says Dr. Marshall Cross, a general surgeon with Riverside Medical Group. He recommends that everyone keep a card with a detailed, up-to-date history in their wallet. “Somebody might say to me, ‘I don’t know, they worked on my stomach,’ ” Cross says. “That could mean so many things. If I’m going back into that abdominal area, [the patient’s accurate knowledge of previous surgeries] could make a difference as to how I approach it.” Similarly, a patient who doesn’t report a history of heart problems is more likely to get into trouble during surgery. Following preoperative instructions is crucial to avoiding surgical problems. And if an operation is on a body part of which there’s more than one, such as an arm or leg, patients should be awake and aware to ensure the surgeon marks the correct body part with a permanent marker. Patients also can ask if there’s a “time-out” procedure once they’re on the operating table—a moment when the operating team pauses to confirm they have the right patient and are about to do the right procedure. “If patients aren’t sure about what’s going to happen,” Cross says, “absolutely they should ask questions.” HJ

FEATURE To Help Prevent Medical Errors, Take an Active Role in Your Health Care Keep a list of current medications (including over-the-counter meds) and any dietary or herbal supplements (including the dosage of each) and share it with your physician.

Never take a medication without first discussing with your provider the possible side effects (including allergic reactions) or interactions with other medications, food or alcohol. Know the name of each medication prescribed and its intended effect.

Pay attention to warning signs on the labels of prescription and over-thecounter medications.

To reduce pharmacy error, make sure your doctor’s handwriting is legible on any written prescription.

Research the hospital or clinic where you’ll be having a procedure performed and compare its quality of service to other facilities in your area. Visit the facility ahead of time. If having surgery, request to have the surgical site marked on your body with permanent marker.

Appoint a family member or friend to serve as your advocate if you are hospitalized. He or she can take notes, ask questions and alert the staff quickly if you have a reaction to a medication.

Follow up on test results; don’t assume that no news is good news.

Have a solid understanding of any medical conditions you may have as well as of any procedure you may be having.

Page Bishop-Freer, Editor I buy store-brand hair conditioner in bulk sizes, preferably in a rich, moisturizing formula—I like Kirkland’s brand, available in a two-pack at Costco— and use it in place of shaving cream. This keeps my skin hydrated—especially my legs, which are prone to dryness—eliminating the need for lotion, even in winter months. Plus, a large bottle of conditioner lasts for several months, while a can of shaving cream is empty after a few uses. Danielle DiSalvo, Administrative Assistant I used to buy a $50 organic shea butter body lotion from L’Occitane. I would use it throughout the cold winter months for dry skin and after sun exposure in the summer. I wanted to stick with organics to avoid harmful chemicals such as polyethylene glycol and petrolatum, two common ingredients in most store-bought brands, but I wanted to find a less expensive option. I began purchasing shea butter and cocoa butter in bulk online, along with essential oils and vitamin E capsules from a local health store, and started making my own lotion. Here’s how: I melt equal parts of shea and cocoa butter in the microwave, puncture two vitamin E capsules and add a few drops of an essential oil (lavender is good for eczema). This recipe also doubles as an overnight deep conditioning treatment for dry, damaged hair. Natalie Montieth, Graphic Designer I have super-sensitive eyes; if a certain eye makeup irritates them, they water profusely. I always used Christian Dior’s Dior Show mascara, but the $25 price tag became too much. I discovered that Cover Girl’s new line of Lash Blast mascara is identical to my pricey favorite—and at only $6 a pop, my wallet is much happier (so is my husband). Come to find out, Lash Blast is hypoallergenic and suitable for contact lenses. I’m sold. Beth Shamaiengar, Associate Editor These days my purchasing is guided as much by the environment as by the recession, and so when I’m buying cosmetics or other personal hygiene items, I try to read ingredient labels carefully and buy more natural products (such as Burt’s Bees face creams). Some organic products can be a bit expensive, but on the flip side, when I consider the potentially harmful effects of various synthetic products (such as nail polish), it’s easier than ever to decide I can do without them, which helps to save money. Now seems like a better time than ever to go with a natural approach, minimizing cosmetic purchases and instead, trying other strategies to look my best, like maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, managing stress, and getting enough rest.

SECOND OPINION

Q. I get frequent, painful headaches. How do I know if they are migraines?

Nearly all of us have the occasional headache, but most of us believe we can handle them. We take an overthe-counter pain medication and before we know it, the headache disappears. As universal as headaches are, though, the symptoms are more complicated and unique than you might realize. What hurts when you have a headache? The bones of the skull and tissues of the brain don’t because they lack pain-sensitive nerve fibers. Several areas of the head can hurt, however, including the network of nerves that extend over the scalp as well as certain nerves in the face, mouth and throat. Also sensitive to pain, because they contain delicate nerve fibers, are the muscles of the head and neck as well as

They can resemble vice-like aches in your temples, head and neck. • Chronic tension headaches are those that occur just about every day. The frequency of this type of headache distinguishes it from the episodic one, though each will send you in search of aspirin or other non-prescription medications. A long walk, a good night’s sleep and relaxation methods may also bring relief. • Migraine headaches cause biochemical changes in the brain, prompting blood flow to shift and thus triggering pain signals within the head and neck.

F.A.S.T:

• Cluster headaches are a rare form of headache notable for their extreme pain and pattern of occurring in “clusters,” usually at the same time or times of day for several weeks. Their onset is swift, usually accompanied by excruciating pain on one side of the head, often behind or around the eye. The pain usually peaks over a period of five to 10 minutes and continues at the same intensity for up to an hour or two before disappearing. Most affected individuals experience one to three episodes a day and two cluster periods a year separated by symptom-free periods. Cluster headaches usually occur during spring and/ or autumn and thus are often incorrectly associated with allergies.

THE HEALTH JOURNAL November 2009

More than just a headache? A sudden, severe headache with no known cause can be an early sign or symptom of stroke. Mild to moderate headaches are associated with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), sometimes called “mini-stroke,” which result from a temporary lack of blood supply to the brain. (Symptoms may include temporary weakness, tingling, numbness or paralysis on one side of the body and or impaired speech, vision, cognition or walking.) The head pain occurs near the clot or lesion that is blocking blood flow. Careful management of stroke risks—such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes—through diet, exercise and medication can prevent many strokerelated headaches. Headaches caused by hunger or occasional muscle tension are easily remedied. But like other types of pain, a headache may signal a more serious underlying disorder. Seek medical care if: • The headache is severe and unlike any other headache you’ve had; • The headache is sudden, severe and accompanied by fever or convulsion; • You feel confused or lose consciousness; • The headache produces pain in the eyes and ears; • You feel a persistent headache yet have no history of headaches.

Why We Go Home for the Holidays

Written By Dr. Sally Hartsfield

hy do we leave our homes, our jobs and our friends to spend money and time on an exhausting trip, sometimes hundreds of miles, to spend a day or so in a town where we may not have lived for 20 or more years? College students, obviously, go home for Thanksgiving and Christmas to eat, sleep and get their laundry done. But what about the rest of us? Given a choice, wouldn’t we rather be in Vegas or Key West? The answer lies in our deep need to belong—to be part of some larger group. Wild animals travel in packs, birds in flocks and fish in schools. Regardless of what we may say, we do not want to be left alone, or at least not all the time. Humans do not thrive in isolation, and those who spend a great deal of time alone are prone to anxiety, depression and loneliness. Today nearly one-third of American adults live alone, and the need for contact can be seen in online methods of communication like MySpace and FaceBook. There may even be a physiological need to be connected

to others. Recent research indicates that physical pain travels the same neural pathways that are stimulated when a person experiences rejection. It does hurt to be left out. And when we are asked to join a group, to participate in a conversation or to visit someone in their home, the brain responds by producing natural opiates, the same “high” we experience with physical pleasures. But why go home for the holidays instead of a popular vacation spot? Because “home” will never reject us. Our family members know us, and we know them—skeletons, warts and all. We share a common history that makes it possible to link up without having to explain too much background. And our relatives’ actions are to a degree predictable, even if not always Our family members pleasant. We know that cousin Jimmy will get way too drunk and try to put the moves know us, and we on anything female. Our parents will make know them— a fuss over us, especially if our siblings still skeletons, warts live nearby, because the out-of-town child is always the favorite. The food and the conand all. We share a versation are at least predictable, if not accommon history that tually enjoyable, as is the fact that the television will broadcast football all day even if no makes it possible one’s watching. In brief, we will be accepted to link up without to a greater or lesser degree without having having to explain too to introduce or prove ourselves. The Thanksgiving holidays are the most much background. traveled time of the year, Christmas a very close second. Our culture dictates that these be times for celebration—evident in the expectations to purchase a lot of gifts and bake or buy tons of food. In Colonial days people came together for these holidays, too, but they also gathered year-round to share news and strengthen relationships. Of course nowadays you can e-mail, send photos and get your gifts there by UPS. You can telephone and wish everyone a happy holiday. But you won’t get the satisfying experience you would have if you were actually there in person. Nor is it the same to spend the holidays with groups other than family, if you have the choice. So, you might as well give in. Make the plane reservations. Or get the car inspected and filled with gas. Squash all those beautifully wrapped presents in plastic bags, pack a lunch and check that you haven’t left a stove burner or the coffee pot on. The travel is tiring and the trip expensive. You may gain a few pounds and lose track of some of your home or work projects while you are gone. And there is always a good chance that you will get your feelings hurt (or hurt someone else’s). But perhaps you’ll get lucky and have a visit that leaves you with many wonderful memories. And if not, you can return home and chuckle with relief in splendid isolation.

NUTRITION

Eating for Energy Dieticians share their best tips for maintaining your energy level throughout the day Written By Brandy Centolanza

s tempting as it is to grab a chocolate bar or a cup of coffee just to stay awake on these late fall afternoons when night falls so early, are those choices the best? When in need of a mid-afternoon pickme-up, what types of foods and drinks are beneficial for a boost, and which should you avoid? Healthy suggestions for an energy jolt include green and black tea, dark chocolate, ginseng, red peppers, whole grains and other high-fiber foods, nuts, salmon, leafy greens and citrus fruits. “It’s also important that you don’t fall victim to the low-carb craze,” cautions Kathryn McAdoo, a clinical dietician with Riverside Regional Medical Center’s Nutrition Services. “Complex carbohydrates, like those found in breads, pastas and potatoes, are a vital part of a healthy diet when eaten in moderation and [should be] our body’s main energy source.” For sustained energy, McAdoo advises eating five to six small meals a day. “If you are feeling sluggish,” she says, “try snacking on some fruits and veggies. Pack some healthy snacks to keep your energy levels high before and after lunch. This is a great way to not only stay awake during the day but to ensure

that you get all your recommended servings of fruits and vegetables.” Though energy bars and drinks may promise an energy boost, the excessive levels of caffeine and sugar typically found in these products may do more harm than good. Too much caffeine may cause an increased heart rate and high blood pressure, while the extra sugar could contribute to weight gain. Though convenient, “[Energy bars and drinks] are not a necessary part of a healthy diet,” McAdoo warns. “In this budget-conscious economy, they may be nothing more than an added expense.”

Joan Sechrist, a registered dietician and a health educator for Sentara’s Health and Preventative Services, agrees. “Energy drinks can be counterproductive to physical fitness,” she says. “If you consume these drinks before and during exercise, the caffeine may make you nervous, lightheaded or nauseous. Also, caffeine is a diuretic, making it a poor choice as a fluid replacement.” Drinking water, instead, is vital for optimal energy. “Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body hydrated,” McAdoo says. “Dehydration can make you feel fatigued and weak.” Most important when choosing snacks for energy, she says, is to remember that “there is no one food that is going to contain a secret ingredient aimed at keeping you awake and energized during the day.” Conversely, eating a “rainbow” of foods throughout the day—such as a wide variety of fruits and vegetables in small meals—will sustain energy and provide all the essential vitamins and minerals you need. Like McAdoo, Sechrist promotes a well-rounded diet: “Good nutrition, combined with daily physical activity, is a vital factor in increased energy.” HJ

PROFILE

Changing Lives, One Pound at a Time Written by Brenda H. Welch Photography By Page Bishop-Freer

hanksgiving is a special time of year, especially for people who enjoy eating—and really, who doesn’t? For some, the traditional holiday fare—mashed potatoes and gravy, buttered dinner rolls, stuffing and turkey, not to mention the array of desserts—is an appetizing treat. But for others, the delectable spread isn’t just food; it’s a feast made for self-loathing. For those with a compulsion to overeat, no matter the time of year, food can seem like both their greatest friend and their worst enemy. Dr. Lisa Harris understands what it means to have this sort of relationship with food. As a weight-loss physician, she’s counseled thousands of patients and helped to guide them toward a more balanced life, both physically and emotionally. Harris gained her experience academically at Hahnemann Medical School (now Drexel University College of Medicine) in Philadelphia, Pa., and personally from her own struggle with the scale. Since opening the Chase Wellness and Research Center in Virginia Beach (www.chasewellnesscenter.com) in 1994, where she and her team of experts treat patients, Harris has seen the medical community as a whole begin to accept the idea that obesity is a complex yet treatable medical condition. The Health Journal recently spoke with Harris about what it takes to lose weight, how she and her son stay fit together, and what she’d likely sing if handed a microphone.

HJ: What are your views on weight-loss surgery (liposuction, Lap Band, gastric bypass, etc.)? LH: I don’t do any type of weight-loss surgery personally, but I have suggested the idea to some of my patients because I believe it is an option for some people. HJ: Have you had any personal experience with struggling to lose weight? LH: I’ve had problems managing my weight since I was in the third grade. I think I initially gained weight because that was at a time when my older sister left home and went away to college. I was very close to her, so eating became

Lisa Harris, M.D.

HJ: What recent advancements in bariatric medicine are you most excited about? LH: When I started in bariatric medicine, obesity was not really considered a medical disease. It was more the belief that people just had to have some willpower to stop eating, or maybe it was a character issue—like they were lazy. Now, especially in the medical community, obesity is seen as a medical disease that needs to be treated. If someone is overweight or obese, it is not just a cosmetic issue. It’s actually a medical problem that can bring about other medical problems.

a way to comfort myself. That was the start of a pattern. In my early adult life, I was focused on my appearance. When I got married in 1989, I was the smallest I have ever been—a size four. I lost the weight by carefully watching everything I ate, keeping a food journal and exercising daily. Over the next year and a half I slowly gained some of the weight back and then leveled off. Today, I am focused on my health. Obesity has a far more broad impact than just on how we look. I try to stress this to all of my patients. HJ: Consumers are cautioned that weight-loss medications and supplements can sometimes do more harm than good. What is your opinion? LH: I never suggest over-the-counter weight-loss aids because they are not regulated. I do, for some patients, prescribe medication because I believe it is a useful tool—just like food diaries and exercise—but not a magic pill. I explain to them that they won’t be taking it every day for the rest of their lives but that it will get their cravings and eating under control. HJ: How does your business compete with the many other weight-loss options out there? LH: I’m always cost-conscious, so I really worked hard to have programs that fit everyone’s budget. I always

PROFILE remind people that being obese or overweight is expensive. Food costs money. You may have medical problems that have come from being overweight, and it costs money to see physicians and purchase the medications to manage those conditions. If you are gaining weight, then that costs money because you have to buy all new clothes. HJ: What book is currently on your nightstand? LH: I am always reading parenting books. I am currently reading A Good Son—it’s all about how to raise boys. The second one I am reading is Lord of the Flies. My son is reading it in school, so I thought maybe I’d read it, too, so that we could have discussions. HJ: Who are your role models? LH: Some of my patients who have lost a tremendous amount of weight. They just never gave up, even though it took them a while to do it. That’s the one quality that I admire in people the most—persistence. HJ: Childhood obesity is a hotbutton issue. Do you talk about weight with your son? LH: I stress healthy eating both at home and when we go out to dinner. I try to get him involved in lacrosse and other sports. So far he has not had an issue with his weight, and I hope he won’t. I think that it really helps when kids cook, because they are more likely to eat what they cook, so I’ve tried to do that with him, too. We also play games on the Wii Fit together, which is a ton of fun, and we both get a good workout. HJ: Do you have a favorite quote? LH: Yes, it’s by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: “The heights by great men reached and kept were not obtained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.” HJ: Do you have any hidden talents or hobbies that your patients would be surprised to know about? LH: I like to sing, although I can’t sing—so I don’t consider that a talent. I love to sing karaoke at home. If I go out of town, I will karaoke, but I don’t want anyone that knows me to see me. I usually like to sing something by Aretha Franklin—she’s spunky and lively. HJ
