Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Daniel L. Hurley, M.D. We now have a variety of pharmacologic options for treating osteoporosis which are effective in increasing bone density, but more importantly decreasing the risk of fractures. However, rather than treating osteoporosis, what advice can we give our patients that will help prevent loss of bone mass and hopefully prevent osteoporosis. Do we know what it takes to build strong, healthy bones? Which nutrients are important for bone development? What role does exercise play and what type of exercise should we be recommending? I’ll be asking these questions and more to our guest, Daniel L. Hurley, M.D., an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Bone Basics and Tips for Good Bone Health”. https://www.usdairy.com/about-us/national-dairy-council Connect with the Mayo Clinic’s School of Continuous Professional Development online at https://ce.mayo.edu/ or on Twitter @MayoMedEd. 

What comes to mind when you think of “metabolic disease”? It seems as though terms like “metabolic disease” and “metabolic health” are everywhere in social media. Are we talking diabetes? Thyroid dysfunction? Is this just a new way to package and market the diet/weight loss industry? Is it all about the number on the scale??Today we will dive into a few facets of metabolic health, and we will focus specifically on “prediabetes”. According to the CDC:Prediabetes is a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. Approximately 96 million American adults—more than 1 in 3—have prediabetes. Of those with prediabetes, more than 80% don’t know they have it. Prediabetes puts you at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.How can we know if we are at risk for prediabetes? Is it all genetic? Are there things we can control to reduce our risk? Are there system-based changes that can be made in the American healthcare system that can help folks improve their risk of developing metabolic disease on a large, population-based scale?Thankfully, we have our friend and renowned expert in the field of Endocrinology to help us understand more!  Welcome, Greg Dodell, MD, FACE!Dr. Dodell is a board-certified Endocrinologist.
