FROM THE EDITOR

The Rhythm of Life Sometimes life requires that you simply put your head down, go to work, and just keep on keepin’ on. (So to speak.) It’s not necessarily that you’re on the wrong path, it’s just that the path is a little steep, a bit rocky, and we just need to keep moving and find our rhythm. That’s life. It’s in our extremity that we find out what we’re made of, and when we become stronger. When we confront life’s obstacles we eventually tap hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And, it’s when we face failure that we recognize that we always possessed this extra strength. So, when the road seems long and the journey is tough, hang in there and tap into your second wind. Or, as one of my favorite singers said,

“Don’t give up on trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration you can’t go wrong.” ~Ella Fitzgerald The thing is, things change. Constantly. Sometimes for the better. Sometimes not. Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less cushy than the one you had before. Obstacles are developmentally necessary: they teach us strategy, patience, critical thinking, resilience and resourcefulness, and these only come from having been given the chance to work through difficult problems. Sometimes the trick is maintaining a positive perspective despite our concerns and circumstances. When life is tough, I can’t help but recite a little poem I’ve known for years:

Two men look out through the same set of bars. One sees the mud; the other, the stars. The question is, what are we going to do about our situation today? We can despair and panic. We can hide under the covers and toss our fate to the wind. Or we

can be resilient and face the challenges directly. We can realize that we have the power to not only survive, but to turn a frenzied condition into an opportunity to develop and achieve. We must assess things as they really are, knowing the economy and the world are obviously evolving. So how are we to resiliently thrive through the trying transitions of our lives? Here are some ideas: First, acknowledge the seasonality of the situation. Every season has challenges and opportunities. Pick your phrase to get you through. “This too shall pass.” “The sun will come out tomorrow.” “What a difference a day makes.” Life is all about patterns, and while it’s darkest before dawn, the sun will rise tomorrow and a new day with new opportunities begins again. Look forward. It’ll all work out. Second, capitalize on pessimism. At a time of great uncertainty, the late Sir John Templeton recognized the power of maximum pessimism. During the 1930’s, he dove into a new investment career, targeting nations, industries, and companies on their financial ropes—a time he coined as “points of maximum pessimism.” In his own words, “Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria. The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy, and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell,” he stated. When things are down, move up. When life is hard, then is the opportunity to improve your situation. Step back from the frenzy, take a deep breath, and do what works, not what the crowd is doing. Just think, tomorrow’s fantastic success story starts today. Third, choose faith. While facing uncertainty, we have a choice: fear or faith. Both are derived in our head and heart. Sure, the future is uncertain. But it is for everyone, and you can face it fearfully, or faithfully. Anthony Robbins says fear is “‘imagination undirected’ which devastates our emotions and oppresses our sense of well-being.” And faith is the opposite: “imagination directed.” We can flounder fearfully, moving towards nothing, or we can create a plan and move towards it with assurance, ready to accept whatever the outcome is. Choosing faith and being resilient doesn’t mean the absence of fear, but it does mean that you control it. Controlling fear allows you to see possible advantages while others speak only bleakness. Another downside of fear is that you focus on yourself only. To truly succeed, even in a down cycle of life, you must have something or someone to serve outside yourself. You need to focus not only on what you can get, but what you can give. Interestingly, it’s when you give, particularly when it’s a sacrifice to do so, that it returns tenfold. The trick? Just begin. Life has its seasons, and it’s rhythm of ups and downs. Again, be resilient and remember that seasons don’t last forever. Whether you’re up or you’re down, just remember that all is well. But, when you’re down, take time to stop and internalize the lessons of today. They are plenty. And, when our skies are dark, look up and remember that it’s only now that we can study the stars and plan for tomorrow. The point is, confront the challenges you face today, and create solutions. They exist. Today’s the day to take the action that will bloom great success tomorrow.

DERMATOLOGIST, Intermountain Provo Dermatology

After medical school at the University of Utah, Dr. Lowe continued on to complete residency and a fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, which is a premier medical center for dermatology, among other specialties. Now he leads Intermountain Provo Dermatology, happy to be back close to where he grew up in Springville. As he serves his community, Dr. Lowe maintains a high standard of care, and of personalized treatment for every patient. “You do everything you can to personalize treatment,” he says. “You only have a certain amount of time with a patient, it’s very important to establish a good rapport and relationship of trust so that they know that your recommendations for them take their whole person and situation into account, and come from a good place.” Dr. Lowe’s talent is helping patients feel at ease, so they feel comfortable sharing important information about their concerns and medical history. This is essential for the best care and outcomes. He enjoys seeing patients of all ages with all forms of dermatologic disease. At the foundation of Dr. Lowe’s superior care is his world-class training. The Mayo Clinic is renowned for advancing dermatology medicine and skin cancer surgery. As part of his education, Dr. Lowe completed a fellowship in Mohs micrographic surgery and dermatologic oncology, which is considered the best treatment for many forms of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and some types of melanoma. Not every dermatologist is fellowship trained, and that can make a difference when it comes to the removal of skin cancer and repair of the surgical site.

Garrett C. Lowe, MD

To be comfor table and confident in your skin; it’s a significant attribute for some, and an impor tant goal for many. Utahborn Dr. Garrett C. Lowe is a Provo dermatologist who understands just how impor tant that is.

In Mohs surgery, the visible cancerous tissue is removed, along with a thin margin of normal-appearing surrounding tissue. That tissue is then examined carefully under a microscope. If there is evidence

Healthy-Utah.com

DERMATOLOGIST, Intermountain Provo Dermatology

of cancerous cells remaining, the doctor will remove another thin layer of skin and examine it, and this process is repeated until the patient is cancer-free. Mohs surgery typically produces a cure rate in the 98-99% range, which is phenomenal. The tissue processing and histologic evaluation of the excision under the microscope is of upmost importance, and is largely responsible for the high cure rate of this procedure. An additional year of fellowship training further honed this skill to the benefit of Dr. Lowe’s patients. In addition to excellent training, Dr. Lowe has the latest Mohs surgery equipment in his clinic. This is important, as the Mohs procedure has been around for some time. Medicine is advancing at a fast pace, and having this new technology in-house provides more clarity when examining the patient’s tissue, which can make a big difference. Scarring is also a concern for patients considering surgery, even if it is a less invasive, outpatient procedure like Mohs. When it comes to repairing a surgical site, Dr. Lowe is confident in his technique. “Sometimes,” he explains, “it’s best to let Mother Nature heal the wound. Sometimes it needs to be closed with a linear closure, local flap or full thickness skin graft. Adequate and good training is a must in these scenarios.”

ABOUT DR. LOWE Dr. Lowe married just before entering medical school almost 12 years ago, and has three children: two boys and one girl. Now that he is out of training, he has more time as a husband and father, which are things he enjoys most. He loves going to his children’s events, and skiing together as a family.

Dr. Lowe closes the majority of his patient’s wounds, meaning they don’t have to go see another doctor. In many scenarios, this is more convenient and safer, and results in less cost to the patient. Even after thousands of Mohs procedures, Dr. Lowe still views the process of a patient coming into clinic with skin cancer and leaving without as truly remarkable.

They Want Your Body…

LANGUAGE BODY LANGUAGE MOVES THAT WILL MAKE A DAILY DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE THE TRIPLE NOD Great communicators help people know they are heard, and that their ideas are respected. Nodding three times as a person speaks to you will help them speak longer, and increase the level of trust between you.

OPEN YOUR CLOSED BODY LANGUAGE Our prehistoric ancestors were probably prone to stand with their arms crossed, to protect vital organs. This may be the reason why many of us today stand in a closed body position, arms folded and shoulders hunched, when we are in a situation or conversation that we find uncomfortable. An open posture, with hands on the hips, or with active, gesturing hands during conversation, can change the tone of a conversation, and change how people view you.

TAKE UP SPACE The more space you take up, the more powerful you’re perceived, and the more powerful you’ll feel. When you put your shoulders back, and have your arms away from your body, your look bigger, and research suggests that you actually feel more powerful and less stressed. You can also take up space by widening your stance, using gestures, and by firmly planting your feet.

DON’T TOUCH YOUR PHONE Taking out a smartphone when nervous generally does two things: it closes body language and makes a person look smaller, which are body language no-nos. If you must use your phone, hold it away from your body, and be mindful of posture.

BONUS TIP ABOUT SPEAKING:

Don’t say it like a question if it’s not a question. When we end a sentence by going up in pitch, that indicates a question. But sometimes, when we are scared of imposing, or are timid with an idea, we verbalize that idea with that same upward pitch. This communicates lack of confidence in you and your idea, and will not get your ideas the respect you want them to have.

5 Moves

YOU SHOULD

Be Able to Do WHEN YOU CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT EXERCISE TO A MATTER OF FUNCTIONALITY RATHER THAN PHYSIQUE, YOU START TO REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF SOME VERY BASIC MOVES YOU WERE TAUGHT AT A YOUNG AGE.

Let’s think about it for a minute: what are some regular “exercises” that are part of your daily life? • When you sit down on a chair, and then stand up again, there’s your squat. • When you bend down to reach for the remote under the couch, there’s your pushup. • When you reach to the top shelf to hide the chocolate you just bought, there’s your overhead press. • When you’re late and run up the stairs 2 at a time, there’s your lunge. Being able to do these basic movements, plus a few more, is very important to your functional life and even quality of life. You can probably think of several people you know, maybe even yourself, who suffer from lower back pain, knee pain, weak ankles, etc. The cause of a lot of these problems is often muscle compensation – your weak muscles are unable to perform the job they’re supposed to do, so a different muscle group takes over. This can wreak havoc on your entire “chain of command,” as far as which muscles are doing what, and cause pain and misalignment.

So let’s take a look at a few basic moves you should be able to do properly, and how to fix any compensations you may notice.

PUSH-UP Here are the steps to performing a standard push-up while checking for any imbalances and compensations: PP

Start on your hands in knees, with your hands directly underneath your shoulders.

Keep your back straight and your core tight.

Lift off onto your toes.

Bend your elbows to lower yourself until your arms are bent to a 90-degree angle.

Your chest should be just a few inches off the ground before you extend your arms, raising your back up.

2 LUNGE

Here are the steps to properly performing a standard forward lunge while checking for any imbalances and compensations: PP

Begin by standing straight with legs hip-width apart, back straight, shoulders back.

Take a big step forward with one leg, bending both your front and back knees to 90 degrees.

Maintain a straight back and engaged core.

Push back with the extended leg to return to standing position.

Repeat with the other leg.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: • If your torso falls forward, this could be a sign of weak core and glute muscles. • If you aren’t able to bend to 90 degrees, you may need to take a bigger step forward or work on high hamstring flexibility.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: • If you can’t bend your arms to a 90-degree angle, this could be a sign of muscle weakness in your biceps, triceps, shoulders, and chest. • If your back arches with your glutes in the air, this could be a sign of core weakness or lack of core and glute engagement.

14 HEALTHY UTAH

Healthy-Utah.com

BASIC OVERHEAD SQUAT

Here are the steps to properly perform a basic overhead squat while checking for any imbalances and compensations: PP

Raise arms overhead, so that your triceps align with your ears.

Place feet hip-width apart, parallel, with your toes pointed forward.

Sit back as if sitting in a chair, maintaining a neutral spine, and ensuring your knees don’t extend beyond your toes.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: At the bottom of the squat, your arms should form a straight line from the fingers, to the shoulders, down to your hips. • If your arms fall forward, this could be a sign of shoulder instability and weakness. • If your back arches, this could be a sign of glute and core weakness and instability. • If your knees move inward toward each other, this could also signify weak glutes.

OVERHEAD PRESS

Here are the steps to properly perform a standard overhead press while checking for any imbalances and compensations: PP

Choose a dumbbell weight with which you could perform 8–12 reps before failure.

Hold a dumbbell in each hand, facing each other at shoulder-height.

Slightly bend your knees and keep your spine neutral.

Press the weights over your head until your arms are fully extended.

Your arms should be next to your ears as you hold slightly at the top before lowering back down to your shoulders.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: • If your arms fall forward rather than extend straight overhead, you have weakness and inflexibility in your shoulders. • If your back arches as you lift overhead, this could mean your core is weak or your hip flexors are too tight to maintain alignment over your knees.

PLANK Here are the steps to perform a standard plank while checking for any imbalances and compensations: PP

From your knees, walk your hands forward until you’re in a modified push-up position.

Lower yourself onto your elbows and forearms, with elbows directly under your shoulders.

Lift your knees off the ground, engaging your core and keeping your back straight.

Hold this position for 30 seconds, or until failure.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: • If your hips sag, this could be a sign of core weakness. • If your hips raise, this could also be a sign of core weakness.

F ITNESS

Why Exercise DOESN’T ALWAYS Lead to WEIGHT LOSS Cochrane review of 43 studies dealing with exercise for weight loss found that “compared with no treatment, exercise resulted in small weight losses across studies.”

Did You Know…

Uh… what? Let’s digest this for a moment. These researchers are saying they reviewed dozens of studies and found that exercise had a small impact on weight loss. Outrageous!

The food and beverage industry has played a significant role in shaping public attitude toward how exercise influences weight loss. The New York Times recently uncovered that Coca-Cola was funding a nonprofit made up of university scientists who encouraged the public to focus more on exercise to fight obesity, rather than on how calories from food and beverages factored in. This goes against a substantial body of research that shows diet is crucial in losing weight. Source: nytimes.com

What about the endless YouTube workout videos for “burning fat” and the countless gym programs for torching wobbly guts? All the calories the gym machines say you burned, that’s good for something, right? Well, this Cochrane review is one of many published research articles that say the same thing: exercising to lose weight isn’t as cut and dry as most people think it is.

WHY DOESN’T EXERCISE WORK FOR LOSING WEIGHT? Well actually, it does.

Organs burning calories (averages)

“In highly controlled studies where exercise is performed under supervision, and no other variables are changed, people lose weight,” says Dr. Robert Ross, PhD, an exercise physiology expert at Queen’s University in Ontario. “When people say ‘exercise doesn’t work,’ I take it to mean ‘sustained physical activity in today’s world is difficult.’”

Kidneys: 182 calories per pound per day Brain: 109 calories per pound per day Muscle: 6 calories per pound per day Heart: 181 calories per pound per day Liver: 90 calories per pound per day

A mountain of research shows exercise leads to fat loss. But sustained energy balance, meaning burning the right amount of calories for your diet over a long time span, is a challenge in our modern environment. Sure, you can burn some calories in the gym, but then you fall behind after eight desk hours. You might burn some calories on a walk, but a long commute leaves you in the hole.

The point: don’t give up exercise, even if the weight isn’t departing. Losing weight depends on a multitude of factors, and exercise is just one, albeit an important one. Environment aside, let’s not forget a wonderful truth of life: we’re all different. And we’re not just talking about hair, eye and skin color. Although we all function similarly, our bodies respond differently to physical activity, burn calories differently, and lose weight differently. This shouldn’t be a surprise. We know two people can do the same exercise routine for a month, and one person might lose ten pounds while the other loses nothing. Why? Because each person is u-n-i-q-u-e, to echo your grade school teacher.

HOW THE BODY BURNS CALORIES 100 percent of the energy we gain comes from food, but physical activity only burns 10-30 percent of that energy. Our bodies are constantly expending energy to keep functioning, whether we’re sitting, sleeping, or staring at a wall. The liver, brain, stomach, etc. all need energy to function, and that is where most of the calories we consume are used up. This basic operating energy is called basal metabolic rate. We don’t really control it. Our bodies also use a lot of energy breaking down and digesting food. Some point to the basal metabolic rate and say “that’s why exercise doesn’t work, because exercise only accounts for a fraction of calories burned every day.” Others will look at a fit person and say “wow, what a great metabolism,” thus robbing the individual of his due credit for a healthy lifestyle. These comments are a tad misguided. Various supplements and exercises claim to “speed up metabolism.” But can you affect basal metabolic rate (bmr), maybe crank up that rate so you don’t have to exercise or eat healthy? Keep dreaming. In fact, decreasing the calories you consume will often slow down your metabolism over time, and exercise has minimal effect on bmr. And supplements? Well, that’s a whole other can of worms, but let’s just say they aren’t going to do much for bmr. The easiest way to increase the amount of calories burned in a day is (drum roll please)… exercise. Hence, national health guidelines, a library of research, and pretty much every health professional says to exercise every day.

REASONS WHY THE EXERCISE WEIGHT LOSS ROAD IS SO BUMPY AND LONG As mentioned before, our modern environment—including the ease of technology— plays a big role in how hard it is to stay

Facebook.com/HealthyUT

active. Another big problem is this: exercise makes us hungry, and we sometimes eat more calories post-exercise than we burn during exercise. Often exercise becomes an excuse to indulge, and we fill our bodies with food that will have a much greater effect on weight than exercise did. Some other issues may be:

We move less on days when we exercise. We overestimate how many calories we burn while exercising. Certain exercise patterns lead to burning fewer calories with exercise (see below). A more scientific cause of the difficulty is adaptive thermogenesis. In simple terms, this is a mechanism where different systems in the body work together to maintain energy stores. This means that the body fights against weight loss instinctively, because weight loss means depleted energy stores. And researchers have also found that when people lose weight, their bodies try to get energy stores back to their previous level, which often means weight gain. For example, research shows that if you take two people of the same size and weight, one being formerly obese and the other not, the body of the formerly obese individual will burn significantly fewer calories a day. His body will be trying to gain back energy stores, and the person will have to eat less than his counterpart to maintain weight loss. This is a big reason why more than 80 percent of people who lose weight eventually end up back at their previous weight. The degree to which adaptive thermogenesis comes into play may be genetic.

WHAT IS EXERCISE GOOD FOR, THEN? Discussion about exercise is nearly always tied to weight loss, and in Dr. Ross’ mind, this is unfortunate. “The benefits of exercise reach so far beyond the reduction of obesity,” he says. “Getting 150 minutes of exercise per week is associated with a wide range of health outcomes, and weight loss is just one.” Exercise improves cardiovascular health, which is great because cardiovascular issues are a leading cause of death in the US. It also helps prevent several chronic diseases, like diabetes, and is shown to improve mental health. Furthermore, research shows that it is much harder to lose gained weight than to prevent the build up of excess weight.

THE DIET + EXERCISE EQUATION “It’s 40 percent diet, and 60 percent exercise.” “No, it’s 30 percent exercise, and 70 percent diet.” What matters more in weight loss, diet or exercise? “We don’t know, and we don’t care,” says Dr. Ross. “But I have absolutely no doubt that both exercise and a healthy diet have to be involved for the most desirable health outcomes.”

WHAT ABOUT RUNNING? Running is an awesome way to get your heart rate going for an extended amount of time, but some find that their running habits aren’t translating to a smaller waistline. Research suggests that steady state running (where you run at a decent pace for an extended amount of time) only helps people lose weight initially. Once the body learns how to cope with the strain of running, the weight loss stops. The body tends to makes changes to compensate for the increased energy expenditure from increased exercise. The body tries to maintain its energy stores. In other words, the body finds ways to use fewer calories to do the same activities, which means fewer burned calories… which can make losing weight frustrating and baffling. It’s a great survival mechanism; the body finds ways to increase efficiency. Now, running isn’t something to be avoided in a weight-loss effort. Simply change your pace, distance, and running workout from time to time. For example, instead of running your normal route, go to the park and run a shuttle, or do a sprint workout of some kind. Sprint workouts are a form of interval training, which means training with periods of high exertion, coupled with breaks and low exertion. When you consistently change up your workout, your body sustains healthy wear and tear, which then heals. This process burns calories. Sources: Vox.com, Cochrane.org

Exercising for the sole purpose of losing weight is dangerous because when a person doesn’t get desired results, they may stop exercising. What a tragedy! Giving up exercise puts your future in jeopardy.

Family Function

Carly Sorenson, DO

Intermountain Pediatrics in Utah Valley Functions Around the Needs of Today’s Families Parents in Utah County are conscientious about the needs of their children and are active participants when it comes to pediatric healthcare. In other words, there is a high standard to be met. Among the few clinics that meet and exceed these standards are the Intermountain Pediatric Clinics in Orem and American Fork. From same-day appointments to afterhours availability to very helpful in-house care managers, Intermountain Healthcare clinics have advantages that draw in families from a wide radius. Above all, the doctors, like Utah native Dr. Carly

50 HEALTHY UTAH

Sorenson, are of the highest caliber. Dr. Sorenson, a pediatrician at the Orem location, says she has always loved kids and finds it important to communicate with them. “It’s important to me to involve kids in their visits,” Dr. Sorenson says, “and I like to interact and hear from them directly because they can offer important information. It not only helps me learn about their development but also helps me build a relationship with them which is key.” This practice is indicative of Sorenson’s central approach to pediatrics: to be an advocate for children. She believes developing a strong relationship with a family over time and working in partnership with the parents are essential to providing the best care for children. Teamwork with other physicians is also important for Dr. Sorenson, which makes

the Central Orem Clinic’s multi-specialty setup unique. “Multi-specialty” means that the clinic has family medicine doctors, pediatricians, OB/GYNs, mental health providers, and more all in that one location. “We’re part of a team of really wonderful physicians that can provide care for the whole family. It’s a luxury for families to have so many great resources and specialties all in one place,” Sorenson says. From pregnancy to birth to pediatrics to child and adolescent care and beyond, families can rely on the physicians within this one clinic. And being able to offer patients continuous care as they transition is advantageous, Dr. Sorenson says. Expecting parents receiving their prenatal visits with the Summit OB/GYN can walk down the lobby to the Pediatrics

families have: healthcare and insurance is terribly confusing. At these Intermountain clinics, patients with complex cases have access to a care manager, which is a nurse who helps families navigate the complicated healthcare world. These care managers help families get established with community resources, coordinate care between primary providers and specialists, and more. “It can be overwhelming for families,” Dr. Sorenson says. “Having a care manager to advocate for them on their behalf and help coordinate referrals and care is a huge benefit, and our families certainly appreciate it.”

Benjamin Greenfield, DO office and meet with Dr. Sorenson or Dr. Greenfield any time before they deliver. “I think parents find it reassuring to be able to meet and discuss any questions or plans with their pediatrician ahead of time,” Sorenson says. “Once they deliver, we see their baby in the office for well child visits, and it’s all in the same building they’re used to coming to,” she says, “and for our older adolescents, we can transition their care to our team of family medicine doctors.” Furthermore, a multi-specialty clinic is incredibly convenient. Parents can bring their children for a checkup, and then take care of their own healthcare needs in the same place. But all these advantages don’t deal with possibly the biggest concern

The doctors themselves also play a very active role, Sorenson says, which is crucial for helping families feel at ease. And speaking of helping patients feel at ease, the Intermountain Orem clinic has an important distinction: Dr. Sorenson is one of the few female pediatricians in the area. “At certain ages and with certain medical problems, young girls or adolescents feel more comfortable talking to a female doctor,” she explains. “I’m happy to be available as an option for them now.”

CARE WHEN YOU NEED IT Especially when it comes to their children, parents don’t want to wait days for a visit. This is why same-day appointments are so important to families, says Dr. Benjamin Greenfield, another pediatrician at the Orem clinic. “Adults, when they’re considering their own healthcare needs, are often a little more flexible, and say ‘I can wait a couple days,’” Dr. Greenfield explains,

ADVANTAGES OF INTERMOUNTAIN PEDIATRICS: 1. In-house care manager (most pediatric clinics don’t have this) 2. Multi-specialty 3. Same-day appointments 4. Coordinated care with other providers and specialists 5. Reach Out and Read program, which provides a free book at every well child visit for children ages 6 months to 5 years 6. After hours availability 7. Mental health providers. “but when it’s your child, I think you sometimes feel an increased sense of urgency, and we try to accommodate for that.” At the Orem clinic, it would be rare to not get in the same day, Dr. Greenfield says. Wait times really aren’t an issue there, with the pediatricians always leaving space in the schedule for same-day appointments. The clinic has extensive hours through their call group. Dr. Greenfield says both he and Dr. Sorenson subscribe to the philosophy of being accommodating. “We realize that when your child is sick it’s not something you want to wait on or put off,” he says.

Complete Child Wellness

Nor th Valley Pediatrics in American Fork has a modern medical system that provides a better medical experience for everyone in Utah Valley Families in Utah Valley want to make sure their children receive the best medical care available, and the Intermountain North Valley Pediatrics team provides just that. It’s not just the expertise that makes good pediatric medical care; things like availability, coordination and convenience are also important to parents. Intermountain knows this, and so they have implemented a pediatric care system that truly represents how modern medicine should be. When it comes to coordination, the North Valley Pediatrics team has a variety of other specialists in the same building, similar to the Orem clinic. Doctors communicate regularly, so each patient is

getting highly coordinated care. Jonathan Burnett, MD, one of the three pediatric doctors at the location, says that this is a fantastic resource. “If I have a patient with a sports injury, I can go see the sports medicine specialist in the same building,” he says. “If a patient has a skin condition, I can consult with the dermatologist in the building. And they can consult with me.”

manger would give the patient a phone call the next week and ask how are things going and if their doctor needs to be made aware of anything. It’s an extra level of coordination, and it makes a big difference.” Teamwork is a crucial component of great medical care. “We are truly one team,” says Dr. Burnett. “The focus of the team is on our patients and their health.”

Dr. Burnett says all the doctors are comfortable having conversations with each other, which means patients can have a tremendous amount of expertise behind their care. To further aid patients, the North Valley clinic has office care managers, also like the Orem clinic. Their role is to make sure parents, doctors and specialists are all connected and communicating properly, ensuring that the patient never feels lost or forgotten. These office care managers are registered nurses that meet with the families of patients with more complex concerns.

“If a patient starts a new medication,” explains Dr. Burnett, “the office care

This is important because a lot of children may have difficulties, different stressors, depression and anxiety. All of this can affect a child’s health, explains Dr. Burnett. “It’s important that these young people know they’re not alone,” he says. “We can work together to help them.”

Jonathan Burnett, MD The comprehensive and modern approach to pediatric medicine that exists at the Intermountain clinics is very meaningful to Dr. Burnett. “It makes everything worthwhile,” he says. “None of us got into medicine hoping that we would be giving second best care, that we’d just be doing an okay job. We got into medicine, especially into pediatrics, because we truly care about our little ones. We have a vested interest in them succeeding and doing well.”

As part of this push to help young people in their formative years, the Intermountain clinics have a fully integrated psychologist. Dr. Burnett says this allows the clinic to provide care for the whole patient in one setting. The clinic has had a lot of success by adding this component to the clinic and helping identify and deal with things like ADHD, depression and anxiety in the younger population. “For many of these patients,” Dr. Burnett explains, “these things had been going on for a while, but because they weren’t specifically being asked about it, they were kind of falling through the cracks.” Adding an emphasis on behavioral health allows physicians like Dr. Burnett to find

the young men and young women who need that extra bit of help that allows them to continue to be successful and lead a full, healthy and happy life. “We’ve had a lot of very happy, very successful patients and parents and people who are doing a lot better now, and we’re very proud of the work we’ve been able to do to help our patients improve their health and improve their lives,” he says. At the Intermountain Healthcare clinics, young men and young women over the age of 12 get a standardized behavioral health screening as part of a wellchild check. Along with checking on development, growth and other aspects of physical health, doctors will ask questions about depression, sleeping issues, appetite issues, and if a child no longer enjoys activities they once enjoyed.

OVERALL HEALTH: PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELLBEING In addition to providing the best physical well-child care available, the pediatricians at Intermountain also see a mind and body connection most clinics miss. Modern medicine has known for years that mental and physical health interact and intersect quite a bit, Dr. Burnett says, “but we’ve been really making a push the last few years to fully integrate it so that we’re treating the whole patient, and not just little bits and pieces.”

John D. Weipert, MD

“A lot of these young men and young women were just waiting for someone to ask,” Dr. Burnett explains.

Have you noticed your

HEARTBURN is still there? Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease or G.E.R.D

As many as 4 out of 10 Americans have symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease or G.E.R.D as its called. The third most common prescription medications in the United States are proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). They turn off about 90% of this stomach acid which is helpful if people have stomach contents coming back up into the esophagus damaging the lining, and giving a burning sensation. Your swallowing tube sits behind the heart and commonly G.E.R.D can cause you to feel like your heart on fire, hence the term “heartburn.” This terrible sensation can be made worse by several factors such as overeating, obesity, spicy food, peppermint, chocolate, smoking, some medications, and eating large amounts at night then laying down. Avoiding some of these factors as much as possible will reduce heartburn symptoms. Having a hiatal hernia creates an increased risk for heartburn. That condition is where the diaphragm opening around your esophagus as it enters your abdomen has too much space around it. That opening can then allow your stomach to slide up in your chest and weaken your body’s own defense valve against G.E.R.D. Yikes! So what if you still have symptoms? Then what? The next weapon of defense is trying to turn off the acid. This can be done by “antacids” such as Tums, baking soda, or other neutralizing agents to acid. If an increased defense is needed prescription medicine such as PPIs are often prescribed. They do work well for a lot of people. There can be a significant rebound effect when you stop them. That means the acid level may be higher than it was before you start medication, at least temporarily, which will cause you to feel like your heartburn is actually worse than it was before you started the medication. That’s not good.

an increased risk of pneumonia due to lack of neutralizing acid in the stomach. There’s an increase incidence of colon infections because of the same mechanism. Your body requires acid to liquefy calcium and other minerals to be absorbed into your body effectively. Turning off the acid may decrease your absorption of calcium and may lead to increased bone fractures with long-term use. The most recent concerning study showed some evidence about risk of dementia such as Alzheimer’s with long-term PPI use especially in the elderly. Other studies have shown that PPIs failed to eliminate acid reflux in 30 to 50% of patients and they don’t reduce non-acid reflux which is called regurgitation. When regurgitation is severe people can bend over after eating and have lunch come back to have you try again. So what else is there? Many people don’t know there are surgical options that are very effective. It significantly reduces the likelihood of food or acid coming back up into the esophagus. Surgery is commonly reserved for people who have breakthrough symptoms despite other attempts to resolve their symptoms, those who have regurgitation or if there is concern about long term medical treatment. In our program most patients have the procedure as an outpatient, and return to work for most in 7-10 days, because we use a minimally invasive technique. There are risks to having surgery. Those should be discussed with your surgeon if you are considering that treatment as an option.

AN ESTIMATED 45,000 AMERICANS WILL BE DIAGNOSED WITH ORAL CANCER IN 2017 Learn about risk factors, and about a new screening option that helps dentists find problems sooner

pril marks the beginning of Oral Cancer Awareness month. Although oral cancer only accounts for approximately 3% of all cancer cases, there are still estimated to be over 45,000 Americans diagnosed this year. Because oral cancer is often detected at a late stage, only 60% of newly diagnosed people live longer than 5 years. Regularly scheduled preventative check-ups allow your dentist the opportunity to diagnose more serious health concerns, such as oral cancer. Oral cancer appears as a growth or sore on your lips, tongue, cheeks, and throat. Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are notable risk factors for the development of oral cancer. But, it is important to note that over 25% of all oral cancer cases occur in people who do not smoke or drink excessively, so it is crucial to get checked regardless of your lifestyle choices. Due to the location of potential oral cancer growth, your dentist is a great resource for early diagnosis. Most dentists are able to do a quick visual examination of the tissue in your mouth to look for any noticeable growth or damage. Unfortunately, a simple visual check will often miss developing issues until they have become more severe. To allow for even greater accuracy in detecting cancerous and pre-cancerous tissue,

Facebook.com/HealthyUT

dentists are now utilizing the VELscope Oral Assessment System. The Velscope device uses harmless blue light to analyze the distinct patterns of healthy and unhealthy tissue. This allows doctors to notice abnormalities that may not even be visible to the naked eye. Like all cancers, early detection and diagnoses dramatically increase your chance of a successful recovery. The screening is quick and painless, so go make sure you are oral cancer free today! To help raise the awareness and diagnosis of oral cancer in our community, Apex Dental will be offering free VELscope cancer screenings during each patient exam during the month of April. These VELscope screenings will be available at both our Murray and Riverton location. Give Apex a call today at 801-7585459 to schedule an appointment or visit our website at www. apexfamilydental.com to learn more about the VELscope oral cancer screenings.

ARE YOUR TEETH AGING FASTER THAN THE REST OF YOU?

YOU’RE FEELING GREAT, LOOKING GREAT, BEING ACTIVE, AND LIVING A VIBRANT LIFE. SO WHY ARE YOUR TEETH LOOKING LIKE THOSE OF AN OLDER PERSON? This is a great question, and a common concern, so don’t let it keep you up at night. We use our teeth a lot (unless you don’t eat for some reason), which means wear and tear, and of course, that flaw we all hate: discoloration. And with our busy lives, sometimes our teeth reach a state or color we’re not proud of before we realize it. Fortunately, turning back time on your teeth is neither a miracle nor a complicated fix. If your teeth are looking worn, discolored, too short or misaligned, here are some ways to restore a look more fitting for your age.

Facebook.com/HealthyUT

WHITENING Whitening procedures under the guidance of Dr. Larsen are both quick and effective, perfect for the busy mom or the office dweller. You can brighten the shade of your teeth significantly with one in-office visit.

SIX MONTH SMILES We love this technology, especially for adults who are feeling selfconscious about their smile. It is a cosmetic teeth straightening system that works to align the visible teeth in months, instead of years. It works great, and you

don’t have to suffer through the traditional orthodontic metal in the mouth.

VENEERS Veneers are such a reliable solution for teeth that are looking aged. Worn and discolored smiles become radiant and confident again, which can mean a tremendous amount to anyone. Veneers are thin laminates that cover the surface of a tooth that is specially prepared to receive the veneers. They’re great for teeth that are too-short, which makes you look older.
