Church Health 2018 Christmas Card Features Pam McDonnell Artwork “Sincerity” Christmas card sales support charitable health care and outreach for uninsured patients.

Church Health’s Christmas Card program—its largest annual fundraiser—is underway, offering businesses, congregations, social groups, and individuals an opportunity to extend holiday greetings while advancing the care and services offered by Church Health.

Featuring “Sincerity,” a work contributed by beloved local artist Pam McDonnell, Church Health Christmas cards may be sent in honor or memory of loved ones, friends, clients, or even coworkers.

Those honored receive a hand-inscribed card acknowledging the gift. Cards recognizing a memorial gift will be sent to the person specified by the donor. Church Health volunteers handwrite and send the cards on behalf of card purchasers.

“In my painting, ‘Sincerity,’ I consider how bare honesty brings about beauty if—and only if—each piece, however similar, celebrates its own unique nature,” explains McDonnell. “Each piece within the whole can be viewed as a prayer, symbolizing the ways people relate to themselves and others with gentle truth and honesty.”

Proceeds from the Christmas card program bring a warm holiday greeting to recipients while providing much-needed care for those in need. A $10 per card donation is requested.

“Our Christmas card program is a great way to support Church Health while keeping in touch with those you love,” says Church Health CEO, Dr. Scott Morris.

Church Health Christmas card orders will be taken through Dec. 7, 2018. Download a Christmas card order form at ChurchHealth.org/ChristmasCards. You may also call 901.701.2000 to request a form.

A SK THE EXPER TS: DENTAL HE ALTH & COSMETIC DENTISTRY

By Jodi Rump, DDS

Fix your Smile, Fit Your Lifestyle with Invisalign™ There are a lot of options to straighten your teeth. Invisalign® is a great solution for adults and teens looking for a way to improve their smile without brackets or metal wires. Invisalign® treatment uses the most advanced clear aligner system in the world. Teeth move by wearing a series of clear aligners to gradually straighten them by applying a constant gentle force. The aligners are custom-fitted clear trays that are virtually invisible, making the treatment seamlessly fit into your lifestyle.

Element scanner provides a digital model of your teeth that eliminates dreaded dental impression for the fabrication of the aligners. The iTero Element scanner is only available with Invisalign.

After completing Invisalign® treatment, most patients use a retainer to prevent teeth from becoming crooked again. As with all orthodontics, the use of a retainer is the key for you to keep the new smile you love straight!

Invisalign® is the most researched, tested, trusted, and proven aligner system in the world. With 20 years of research, over 900 patents, the world’s largest 3-D printing operation, and nearly 6 million smiles treated, you can trust Invisalign® clear aligners to give you the perfect smile you always wanted.

With Invisalign, teeth move 50% faster than other aligners on the market due to its patented innovative material. Your orthodontist or dentist creates a custom digital treatment plan that maps out the exact movements to straighten your smile. All you have to do is wear your aligners as your doctor prescribes. Prior to starting Invisalign® treatment, begin with a full check-up and periodontal exam to make sure your gums and teeth are healthy for orthodontic treatment.

Patients always tell me the end result was worth it. Your doctor determines the cost of your treatment based on how complex your case is and how many aligners you need. Because every patient’s smile is different and requires a different amount of treatment, the cost of Invisalign® varies per person with payment plans starting as low as $50/month. The results are priceless!

With digital technology, you get a virtual beforeand-after image of your smile that allows you to see the change before you begin. The iTero

A SK THE EXPER TS: DENTAL HE ALTH & COSMETIC DENTISTRY

By Kathryn Sneed, DMD, MBA

Achieving that “Hollywood Smile” with Porcelain Veneers It’s no surprise that someone’s smile is often the first thing you notice. The attractiveness of your smile can impact your social and professional life.

One way to improve your smile is through porcelain veneers. Veneers are quickly becoming one of the most desirable and popular options in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, thanks to celebrities and other influencers. Not only can you beautify your smile instantly, but you can also restore your teeth with the thin porcelain facing that is called a veneer. Furthermore, veneers can correct misalignment or gaps between your teeth, cover chips and cracks, and much more.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers offer the ability to customize your ideal smile. They are made of very thin shells of porcelain crafted to match the shape and color of your teeth. They are made by hand and carefully bonded to the front side of your teeth to fix aesthetic problems. They replace approximately 0.3–0.5mm of tooth structure, and can mask and mold teeth into a desirable shape, form, and color regardless of what is underneath them.

10

How To Get Veneers First, a consultation is necessary to figure out your ideal smile and whether or not that can be accomplished with dental veneers. If veneers are the right solution for your dental health and goals, then there are a few more appointments that follow. The next visit involves using computer software, wax, and plaster models to design your new look. Impressions of your teeth are sent to a lab to help create a seamlessly beautiful smile.

At your placement appointment, your teeth are prepped for veneers by removing a thin layer of enamel that allows the veneers to bond perfectly to your teeth. You then wear temporaries that mimic your final result for a minimum of two weeks to make sure you’re happy with the new

shape, size, and contours. Then, at the delivery appointment, the temporaries are removed and the final porcelain products are cemented in, which takes approximately 1.5 hours. New veneers are ready for use for eating and smiling bigger than before. Veneers are easy to take care of; simply brush and floss the same as your natural teeth!

Benefits of Veneers • S ave time. Rather than straightening teeth with braces that can take months or years, you can use veneers to permanently correct misalignment issues.

• G et your perfect smile. Veneers quickly and easily close gaps in your smile to give you more confidence.

• C over chips, cracks, or discolorations.

Veneers can correct most dental imperfections.

Dr. Kathryn Sneed is trained in IV sedation, dental implants, oral surgery, bone grafting, cosmetic dentistry, general dentistry, pediatrics, Botox and fillers, and orthodontics. To schedule an appointment call 901.853.2575 or visit SneedDentalArts.com.

What Does Your Smile Say? A healthy smile is a reflection of a healthy you.

Dr. Kathryn Sneed

A powerful connection with lasting impressions.

Your smile says so much about who you are — both inside and out. Your mouth, gums, and teeth are deeply connected to the rest of your body. Dr. Kathryn Sneed wants to help you understand the importance of maintaining complete dental and physical health. Why? Because sustaining overall function and balance, means taking care of you and your smile. Coupled together, dentistry and staying fit are the perfect combination for a healthful, captivating you.

Article by Caroline Sposto

Innovative Dentistry Thrives in Crosstown Crosstown Concourse has become a vibrant center for innovation in both health care and the arts. After Dr. Daniel Bird sold his traditional dental practice in West Memphis, Ark., he decided Crosstown Concourse was where he belonged.

“I knew it would work for me because I wanted to build a new practice from scratch and do things differently,” he says. Crosstown Dental Group has been growing quickly since it opened in September 2017.

One of the most distinctive facets of this practice is its use of state-ofthe-art imaging technology for restorative dentistry. Not only did Dr. Bird invest in a CEREC Machine, which eliminates the need for dental impressions and temporary crowns, but he also built an on-site manufacturing lab.

“We’re able to get matches in shape and color that are amazing,” he says. “The computer is smart enough to scan the tooth beside the one we’re restoring.”

While other dentists take images or impressions and then send the specs out for fulfillment, Crosstown’s in-house technicians are usually able to finish the job in about an hour. “Nobody else in Memphis does this,” he says.

Once the techs have the specs, Dr. Baird gives his patient a special Crosstown gift card and sends them off to enjoy their choice of amenities “They don’t have to sit in a chair. They can have ice cream or coffee, get lunch, or treat themselves to a manicure, on me. I text them when their crown is ready.”

He says, “A patient came in at 9 am, and all his upper teeth were bad.

He either needed dentures or crowns. I prepared 14 teeth this morning and sent him to lunch. He came back from lunch and left with a new smile.”

12

This turnaround time has gotten rave reviews from patients, and Dr. Bird continues to raise the bar.

“Everyone knows they should floss and brush their teeth two to three times per day,” he says. “Most people do that, but they still don’t like going to the dentist.”

Our patients take time off work to be here, and we need to respect that.”

That negative perception inspired him to revolutionize his appointment experience.

The facility is set up on a cart system that allows patients to remain in one place during the entire appointment process. “We’re equipped to do anything, in any room, at any time,” Dr. Bird explains.

“We don’t have a waiting room. No magazines or paperwork,” he says.

“Patients submit their forms on their smartphones, sign in with our coordinator at our kiosk, and then go directly to a treatment room.

Other revisions to the office atmosphere include upbeat music to cover the sound of equipment and a dash of aromatherapy to mask the medical smell. Crosstown Dental Group accepts most major

Daniel Bird, DDS plans and offers an affordable “Smile Club” option for those without insurance.

“Dentistry is expensive and uncomfortable,” Dr. Bird admits.

“But we’re committed to making it a much better experience. When someone gets a new smile, they give you a hug. You don’t get that in every line of work.”

Dr. Daniel Bird, is the owner of Crosstown Dental Group. To make an appointment, call 901.881.1234 or visit Crosstowndentist.com

“I think the term ‘cosmetic dentistry’ is a farce. Everything a good dentist does is cosmetic.”

A SK THE EXPER TS

By David Pepperman, MD

Winter is Flu Season, and It’s Coming What is The Flu? The flu virus is not a single entity, but a wide variety of different viruses all in the family called influenza. There are types A and B, and type A is divided into subtypes based on two surface proteins on the virus (labeled “H” and “N”).

These subtypes are categorized from H1 N1 all the way to H18 N11, which, by the way, is found only in bats. Aside from the seasonal flu transmitted human-to-human, there are dog flu, cat flu, bird flu, bat flu, not to mention horse flu, whale flu, and swine flu.

Because there are so many varieties of flu, we must get a flu shot every year. Influenza viruses are changing constantly and do this in two ways.

They make small continuous changes over time that eventually lead to significant differences.

The second type is an abrupt mutation leading to a dramatically new subtype of flu. The latter can produce a virus that is so different that we have no baseline immune protection, which can lead to a much wider and more severe outbreak.

When is it The Flu? Flu symptoms can be similar to a cold: fever, chills, cough, sore throat, headache, body/muscle aches, nasal congestion and drainage, fatigue, etc. However, the onset of the flu happens more abruptly, and symptoms are much more severe.

The influenza virus is always around but starts to pick up in November and decreases by the end of March. The usual time from exposure to illness is two days but may range from 1–4. A person is most contagious in the first 3–4 days, but it can span from one day before up to one week after symptoms start. Aerosolized droplets that get coughed or sneezed into the air spread flu.

During flu season, avoid people with flu-likeillness, and if you have flu-like-illness, avoid others. Good hygiene includes covering your cough and sneeze and washing your hands frequently. (Wearing a surgical mask with the words “harbinger of disease” written across the front in Sharpie is ideal.)

What do we do for The Flu? Like the common cold, we don’t have a cure for the flu. Antiviral medicines only shorten flu symptoms by a day or so, and only if started within 48 hours of illness. Their main benefit is

14

helping people at high risk of developing severe complications from the flu. This would include those under age two or older than 65 and people with chronic comorbid conditions: lung, heart, kidney, liver, blood, or brain disease; diabetes; HIV; pregnant; morbidly obese; nursing home residents; etc.

Last year’s 2017-18 flu season was classified as a high severity across all age groups. It had the highest peak, child mortality, and hospitalization rates for all ages since the 2009 pandemic.

Flu season is coming, but we have a wall of protection with the flu shot. Studies have proven

that the flu shot does not cause the flu. It takes approximately two weeks after the shot for your body to generate its immune response and it lasts about six months. This is why the month of October is the perfect time to get your annual immunization. Even if in some cases it doesn’t prevent the flu, it has been shown to lessen the effects and decrease serious consequences.

Get on the CDC website, become a flu expert, and spread the most important information known regarding the influenza virus: everybody over six months old needs a flu shot.

Dr. David Pepperman is Family Practice Physician with St. Francis Medical Partners.

COACH’S CORNER

By Rachel Randall

Be Seen, Be Safe With the relief of cooler weather, we also bid farewell to precious hours of daylight. When you’re awake before the sun or out after it says goodnight, being visible could save your life. According to the National Traffic Highway Safety Administration, 75% of pedestrian fatalities in traffic crashes occur in the dark. You must be proactive to stay safe while running in the dark.

Drivers’ eyes never become completely used to driving in the dark because of constantly changing lights. With low beams on, eyes can only see about 250 feet at best, which leaves only a few seconds to notice a runner in the darkness. Couple this with slow reaction times from fatigue, being distracted by phones, or just being in a hurry, and it becomes even more dangerous. If you want to run safely in the dark, you need to take your safety into your own hands. Never rely on a driver to see you.

Tips to run safely at night

• Be visible from all directions, and use a combination of reflective elements and lights. You want to see and be seen, so a simple headlamp isn’t enough. Blinking LED lights and a visibility vest are safe choices.

• Vehicle headlights are focused low, so take advantage by lighting up your ankles and legs. Put reflective details on your extremities, such as reflective shoelaces or clips on your shoes, carry a handheld water bottle with reflective strips, or use a reflective tape like Safety Skin that goes directly on your skin.

• Stick to a running path or sidewalk to avoid drivers altogether. If running on roads is your only option, run facing traffic. If you can see a car coming, it’s easier to get out of the way.

• Leave the headphones at home. If you can’t hear a car, you put yourself at a much greater risk of being hit. Plus, headphones block out surrounding noise so you may not notice another pedestrian or cyclist approaching.

• A ssume you are invisible. Take added precaution to warn drivers of your presence, and when in doubt, cross behind drivers waiting to turn. Pedestrians may have the right of way, but that does not guarantee a driver will see you.

As we move into the dark days of fall and winter, put safety first. Light yourself up like a Christmas tree, bring along other nighttime running gear, and think from a driver’s perspective about visibility.

Do you have questions about finding the right fit for your feet? Stop in and talk to anyone on our staff.

We’ll be happy to help!

Richmond on the Run

This fitness instructor and blogger is making Memphis her home.

When CaCera Richmond, 31, made the move to Memphis from Los Angeles, her home of six years, some friends thought she was crazy to leave California’s fitness market for the South.

“I think fitness is more ingrained in the culture of L.A,” CaCera says. “But fitness is just as important here as it is in there. In L.A., it’s about hiking and boutique studios. In Memphis, it’s about cycling, yoga, running, and taking advantage of Shelby Farms. There’s a really special kind of buzz around the fitness community here.”

CaCera grew up in Madison, Miss., but her Masters in Communication and Public Relations has taken her everywhere from Jackson to Atlanta. In 2011, she moved to L.A., where she got hooked on ClassPass, a monthly subscription for fitness classes. She credits it with reinvigorating her workout regimen as a busy young professional.

A position opened up at FedEx late last year, and CaCera jumped at the chance to move closer to home. Outside of her role as a Senior Communications Specialist, she has let her passion for fitness blossom in her work as a volunteer for Girls on the Run, teaching classes at ZenSudio, and starting FitWithFinesse.com.

“I love the balance between my job and what I do after work,” she says. “I’ve been a lot more open than I probably have ever been in the past since this move. I want to continue that spirit of openness when I think about making goals for the quarter, the year, for the next 20 years.”

In March, CaCera launched the blog Fit With Finesse alongside friend and accountability partner Shawnie Dockery. The pair met in California and wanted to create a health and wellness resource for women of color. The pair use Fit With Finesse to maintain their friendship and encourage a community of like-minded women to pursue their own fitness goals. Twice a week, Shawnie and CaCera post recipes, fitness studio reviews, workout playlists, and more.

“Since we launched, we’ve already had a lot of messages from people who love what we’re doing and who tell us, ‘I never see Black women doing this,’” CaCera says.

Her passion for fitness is grounded in her desire to empower women. CaCera volunteers for the Memphis chapter of Girls on the Run, a national non-profit that encourages and trains young girls to complete a 5K at the end of their school semester. This month, they will see the inaugural group of elementary and middle school girls run their first race at Shelby Farms.

“Being a part of the group that built it up and got it going in Memphis, that’s a huge moment of pride for me,” CaCera says. “Seeing the girls’ faces at the end of the run, knowing they’ve worked together and put their minds to something and done it, is awesome. I hope they will continue to take the importance of a healthy lifestyle and lessons of confidence and empowerment with them.”

In addition to Girls on the Run, CaCera teaches studioBOUNCE, a cardio trampoline class, at ZenStudio on Wednesday mornings and Friday evenings. As part of her personal practice, she sees a trainer at HardQore Fitness in Cordova twice a week and always makes it to boot camp on Saturday mornings.

CaCera believes that making challenging quarterly goals is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This fall, she completed her first Spartan Race: a high-intensity event that combines a five mile run with twenty obstacles, varying from rope climbing to monkey bars.

“Your body can surprise you. It’s a tool and an instrument; if you take care of it, it will take care of you.”

20

“The biggest thing I learned from the Spartan Race is to trust yourself,” she says.

“I really doubted myself going into it. I’m a girly girl, so the idea of going through a mud pit and traipsing through water was not appealing. But I surprised myself. When I actually got out there and did it, I was more ready than I thought I was. Your body can surprise you. It’s a tool and an instrument; if you take care of it, it will take care of you.”

Up next, CaCera is training for another Spartan Race and completing a group training certification program. She plans to continue documenting her fitness journey and promoting the Memphis fitness community on her website. Readers can also follow her experience participating in the St. Jude Marathon Weekend in December when she runs her first 10K.

SURVIVOR PROFILE

Allies for a Cause

A news anchor and a leading endocrinologist lock arms in the fight against Type 1 Diabetes

According to the American Diabetes Association, about 1.25 million Americans have Type 1 diabetes, and an estimated 40,000 people will be diagnosed each year. Though statistics vary by source, it is undisputed that the Mid-South has a higher incidence of the disease than most other regions.

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune condition that makes the body unable to produce insulin, the hormone that enables the body to convert blood glucose to energy. Without insulin, the body has to resort to breaking down its own tissue. Another, potentially fatal, consequence for people with Type 1 diabetes is Diabetic ketoacidosis, or DKA, which is an overload of glucose in the bloodstream.

The cause of Type 1 diabetes is not yet known, and there is not yet a cure. Thanks to dedicated researchers, healthcare professionals, activists, and educators, however, the disease can be managed.

Two local champions for that cause are Dr. Kashif Latif at AM Diabetes & Endocrinology Center in Bartlett and Fox News Anchor Darrell Greene. For both men, it is an intensely personal cause. Dr. Latif’s son, Ahmed, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes before his first birthday. The rigor of managing his son’s disease led Dr. Latif to return to school for a specialty in endocrinology. He opened AM Diabetes and Endocrinology Center in 2002.

Darrell Greene was diagnosed in 1993 when he was 23 and just starting his career on air. He arrived in Memphis in 2010 and was referred to Dr. Latif.

“I get along with Dr. Latif so well because he’s a man with a mission,” Darrell says. “We share the same mission.”

Both men are deeply devoted to fundraising and diabetes awareness. Darrell is a chapter board member and congressional advocate for the Junior Diabetes Research Foundation and has done dozens of news stories about the disease.

Meanwhile, Dr. Latif is working to break new ground in patient care. In addition to setting up the world’s first insulin pump center, he is currently developing Type 1 diabetes registry for Shelby County and building a gym designed for the unique needs of his patients.

22

“The gym will have a controlled environment,” Dr. Latif explains. “Not only will it allow patients to monitor their blood sugar before and after exercise, but our exercise prescriptions will be tailored to diabetes-related complications such as eye disease, nerve damage, and heart disease.” He has designed this facility as a prototype for other healthcare providers to follow.

“ You either have to own Type 1 diabetes, or it will own you.”

– Darrell Greene

SURVIVOR PROFILE

In August 2018, Dr. Latif adopted a cutting edge technology: a capsule-sized implant called EversenseCGM that sends real-time blood sugar readings directly to an iPhone. Darrell was the first patient in the region to have this procedure.

“He asked me if I wanted the implant, and I had no hesitation.” Darrell says it required a fivemillimeter incision and took about five minutes.

“You either have to own Type 1 diabetes, or it will own you,” Darrell explains. “Once the disease owns you, you’re in trouble. This device removes one layer of hassle and gives me a lot more control.”

The only present drawback to the implant is that it isn’t yet covered by most health insurance plans.

The current cost for the implant is about $1,700, and the device must be replaced four times per year. The hope is that the cost will come down, and insurance companies will begin to see the long-term benefit.

Darrell continues to lobby for affordable healthcare. “The skyrocketing cost of fast-acting insulin has created life-or-death dilemmas for too many people,” he says. “Some lawmakers are fired up, but not enough. I don’t have the answer, but I’m a consumer and I have a voice. I’m telling them what I need.”

Both Darrell and Dr. Latif agree that living with Type 1 diabetes means recalibrating your approach to diet and exercise. “I eat very few carbohydrates unless my blood sugar is low,” Darrell says. “Being from the South, that’s hard.

Nobody makes better biscuits than me.”

Even though managing the disease can be challenging, Darrell continues to take care of himself and support others. “I always think of kids who are diagnosed at age 10, 12, or 14. They’re under peer pressure and haven’t found themselves yet. I want to tell them, ‘You’re not different. As a matter of fact, you’re a little stronger than the kid next to you because you have to think like a doctor, nutritionist, and mathematician.’”

While researchers continue to strive to understand Type 1 diabetes and find for a cure. Darrell Green and Dr. Latif are devoted to helping people with the disease take control and improve their quality of life.

By far my favorite cycling event is the Big Dam Bridge in Little Rock. I have participated two years in a row. It’s well supported with thousands of riders, and it’s a whole lot of fun.

The braised short rib stuffed grilled cheese at Felicia Suzanne’s is the best menu item in Memphis. Run, don’t walk!

7 I have seen U2 in concert 43 times. My other passion is that I love to cook and entertain for family and friends.

2 I love that there is no on/off switch in cycling. If you ride out 10 miles, you have to pedal back 10 miles.

8 Most people don’t know that I was a real tomboy growing up—a fish gutting, dove cleaning, tree climbing, always barefoot tomboy.

3 I stay motivated by trying to always have a competition or ride that I am training for. I feel better, mentally and physically, when I am steadily after it.

9 My vices are ice-cold beer at Alex’s Tavern and shoes.

No matter how much you eat, your shoes will always fit.

4 Soon I start winter training with Victory Bicycle Studio which will culminate with The Fondo 70-mile ride in February, right here in Memphis.

10

5 When I first started riding, I was super scared, especially when you add 100 new riders and 200 wheels. Now I am comfortable riding in a peloton and more confident on the bike in general.

26

“I feel better, mentally and physically, when I am steadily after it.”

My motto was introduced to me by my former boss, Bob Cournoyer, who is the previous owner of U.S. Male Clothing Store. He said that the more “no’s” you get, the closer you are to a “yes.”

It applies to everything.

I have been in the MRTC Road Race Series for 28 consecutive years. I’ve never been in the top 3 in any male age category, but I would come in first every year in Women’s 70+.

As the primary caregiver for my wife, I have to be able to transport and lift her, so I have to be fit. Fitness has been part of my life since I was a very young boy, and I tried to pass that love for fitness and sports to my children. I think I was successful.

2 I have ridden the MS 150 bike ride for 25 years and have been a VIBE for 23 straight years. A VIBE receives $1,000 or more in contributions from supporters. I have ridden 5 JDRF rides of 100 miles each. I just completed my 3rd Big Dam Bridge Ride of 100 miles and trained through Victory Bicycle Studio’s program. I have run 35 full marathons.

6 I am riding 100 miles for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in Santa Fe this month. My son, Clark, will join me and should finish a few hours ahead. I have not ridden at this altitude or with mountain climbs, so I am looking forward to it.

The Athens Greece Marathon was my favorite. My wife and I went there to celebrate our 25th anniversary, and we were with a tour group of runners led by Jeff Galloway. That was the first time I tried the 4:1 run/walk method, and it worked for me.

On my bucket list is to finish running marathons in all 50 states, as well as all the continents.

8 Chocolate is my vice.

4 The camaraderie of meeting folks from running and cycling is the best. Now that I have done so many things over the years, I find that when I don’t care about my time, both cycling and running have become more fun.

Important Facts about Protein WHY IT’S IMPORTANT

WHERE TO FIND IT

Every food is made up of a combination of three essential macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fat. While all three have their own unique roles, protein is often considered the most important because it is a major building block in the body. It’s easy to think that eating protein is only important for bodybuilders and elite athletes, but it plays a crucial for everyone regardless of age or athletic ability.

Because protein is so important, the phrase “high protein” has become a buzzword in the food industry. Many products boast their protein content so that it seems healthier.

It is best to get your daily protein through minimally processed, whole foods rather than products like protein ice creams or protein chips.

Protein is essential to building, maintaining, and repairing tissues. It also helps perform vital functions that aid in immune processes. If all that wasn’t enough, protein plays a big role in changing body composition. Eating adequate protein helps ensure any weight you lose is due to losing body fat, not losing muscle mass!

Good sources of protein: • L ean meats such as chicken breast, turkey, or 97% lean ground beef

• Milk

• Fish (tuna, salmon, cod)

• Cottage cheese

• Seafood (shrimp, crab, scallops)

• Quinoa, lentils, edamame, chickpeas

• Eggs and egg whites

• Greek yogurt

HOW TO EAT IT There is a lot of controversy over how much protein people should eat. A good rule of thumb is to eat 0.7–1 gram per pound of lean body mass (your total body weight minus your body fat). Start on the lower end of that range and working towards a higher target if you have more muscle mass or strength train frequently.

Figuring out an exact protein target can seem overwhelming. If that is the case, just making sure you have a good source of protein at each meal will help you get enough protein throughout the day. It will also help you stay full between meals because protein is the most satiating macronutrient. It keeps you full longer than carbohydrates or fats!

Ideas for easy high-protein meals: Breakfast: Eggs and egg whites with veggies; greek yogurt with berries and granola; smoothie with milk, fruit, and protein powder Lunch: Grilled chicken salad; turkey sandwich; veggie wrap with and fruit and cottage cheese Dinner: Stir fried veggies with beef; pasta with lean ground turkey and marinara sauce; taco salad with beans and corn

WATCH OUT! There can be a lot of confusion over which foods are actually high in protein. Some whole foods you may consider good sources of protein actually get very few of their total calories from protein. Peanut butter is commonly marketed as high in protein, but it takes three servings (6 Tbsps) to consume the same amount of protein as a palm-sized piece of chicken breast.

You can get protein from plant-based sources, but some are more efficient sources than others.

Protein can be found in leafy green vegetables (broccoli, spinach, kale, etc.), but you have to eat a big plate of them to consume a significant amount of protein. Lentils provide a more concentrated amount of it.

The Truth about Sugar and Diabetes

By Blair Mize, MS, RDN, CSSD, LDN

True or False? q Diabetes is caused by eating too much sugar. q People with diabetes should avoid carbohydrates. q People with diabetes cannot eat sugar.

The statements above are the most common MYTHS we hear about diabetes in our office. Misconceptions like these often get perpetuated at the time of diagnosis through umbrella statements made by well-meaning, yet busy health professionals.

Still surprised to learn that each statement is false? Let’s set the record straight…

What causes diabetes?

Although eating sugar causes a rise in blood sugar levels, it doesn’t mean it’s the culprit for diabetes. The body is much more complex, and the cause of diabetes is multifactorial.

Type 1 diabetes occurs when the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. People with Type 1 diabetes must take insulin to regulate glucose levels.

Type 2 diabetes is more common and can be caused by genetics, medications, insulin resistance (which can allow sugar to accumulate in the blood), lifestyle factors (ex. physical inactivity), certain hormonal diseases, or damage to the pancreas.

Which foods contain carbohydrates?

• S tarch/Grains: Cereals, flour, pasta, crackers, popcorn, cookies, cakes, bread, corn, rice, oats, quinoa, etc.

• F ruits: All fruits like apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, berries, dried fruits, and fruit juices

Are carbohydrates OK for people with diabetes?

Carbohydrates have the greatest effect on blood sugar levels. The metabolism of carbohydrates in people with diabetes differs from the metabolism of people without it due to the amount of insulin available in the body. Insulin is a hormone that allows the body to use sugar from carbohydrates for energy or to store it for future use.

It takes trial and error to determine how various desserts will impact blood sugar. General strategies for enjoying dessert with diabetes include: • F actoring dessert into the amount of carbohydrates allotted at a meal or snack • D oing a “starch swap” at meals by switching out a starchy side like rice or potatoes for something sweet

People with diabetes need varying amounts of carbohydrates, so portion awareness matters.

Experimentation is essential for determining the optimal dose of carbohydrates at meals and snacks that maintains stable blood sugar levels.

• Being mindful of portion sizes

Are diabetes and dessert a recipe for disaster?

Developing a balanced, consistent eating pattern conducive to blood sugar management can feel frustrating, unfair, confusing, challenging, and different for individuals with diabetes. No one-size-fits-all plan can tell a person how to best manage blood sugar. Registered Dietitians are equipped to go beyond general recommendations to customize plans and strategies to help individuals reach health-related goals while still enjoying their favorite foods.

Desserts tend to be densely full of simple carbohydrates. As a result, they can have a greater impact on blood sugar levels than complex carbohydrates, which are digested more slowly.

Whether a person has been diagnosed with diabetes or not, dichotomous (all or none) thinking is dangerous because it often leads to this cycle:

• Savoring each bite

Getting down to the truth…

• S tarchy Vegetables: Peas, corn, potatoes, beans • D airy: Milk, yogurt • S weets: Candies, honey, syrup, jams, jellies, sweetened beverages, sugar, agave

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Cheese Board

By Andrea LeTard

Pumpkin season isn’t over yet! Thanksgiving is the original holiday to celebrate that delicious fall flavor, and this pumpkin cheese board is the perfect starter to the biggest meal of the year. The cheeses chosen for the board are on the lighter side, so you don’t spoil dinner before it even begins. The board itself is fun to decorate and acts as a beautiful centerpiece.

PUMPKIN BAKED BRIE: q B rie cheese wheel q P umpkin butter q G round cinnamon NUTTY PUMPKIN GOAT CHEESE: q G oat cheese log q C andied or praline walnuts or pecans q P umpkin pie spice PUMPKIN SEED SMOKED GOUDA: q S moked Gouda chunk or wheel q T oasted pepitas q P ure maple syrup PUMPKIN MASCARPONE: q 4 ounces mascarpone cheese q 2 heaping Tbsps pumpkin puree q 2 Tbsps (or to taste) maple syrup q 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice OTHER ACCOMPANIES: q P umpkin trail mix q P umpkin butter or jelly q C andied ginger slices q P itted dates q E xtra pepitas q E xtra candied/praline nuts q W hole grain or flax seed crackers q C innamon crackers q R osemary sprigs q M ini pumpkins or gourds

DIRECTIONS Bake Brie for 5–10 minutes at 350F until soft but not oozing. Top with a heavy dollop of pumpkin butter and sprinkle with cinnamon. Set aside.

Place Goat cheese on a plate. In a food processor, combine about 1/4 cup of the candied nuts with about 1/2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice until it turns to a dusty crumble. Pour over the goat cheese and roll cheese in the nuts until completely covered. Set aside.

36

Place Smoked Gouda on a plate, top with pumpkin seeds, and drizzle with maple syrup. Set aside.

In a bowl, stir together the mascarpone, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Spoon into a small bowl and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice.
