Every day there are new innovations in the field of integrative medicine — advances that could help you live a healthier lifestyle and feel your best, especially as you age. In this week’s Be HEALTHistic, Drs. Steve and Drew Sinatra bring you another episode in our Pulse Check series, which focuses on trending health topics and up-and-coming, inventive therapies. From a new, non-statin cholesterol-lowering medication and the power of red light therapy, to the anti-aging, healing properties of peptides and the importance of a good night’s sleep for your heart — the doctors provide the information you need to know, right now. First, the doctors discuss a new, non-statin cholesterol-lowering medication, developed for patients who can’t tolerate statins due to side effects. Dr. Steve weighs in and shares his view on “the great cholesterol myth,” and explains which patients could benefit most from this new drug. Another emerging treatment is red light therapy, which has been shown to support mitochondrial function and positively impact energy production, collagen synthesis and muscle recovery. Dr. Drew shares the benefits, the downsides, and how you can do this therapy at home. Then, our doctor duo examines the popularity of peptide therapy — how peptides work in the body, why they are beneficial anti-aging and therapeutic tools for some patients, what the risks are, and what to be aware of when you buy them online. Finally, the hosts discuss a new study that found women who sleep poorly tend to not only overeat, but also have higher incidences of heart disease. Dr. Steve discusses how EMFs, Wifi and blue light are impacting our melatonin production, while Dr. Drew provides us with some practical sleep hygiene tips.
