  Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It's time for one on one with the pro I'm
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Tom Davis, and joining me on the telephone, I have
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: doctor Gupta with this. Good morning, doctor. How are you today?
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Hey Bill, Tom? I'm great. How are you?
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Is this the world famous doctor Gupta from CNN?
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's my uncle right.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Goodness sakes, I wish doctor Gupta, thank you for being
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: with us, Thanks for being a good sport. He's with
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: us here with Health and Wellness, our new neighbors here
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: at the radio station just right across the street from Clapa,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: right here on Frank Phillips Boulevard. And you've been doing
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: some great business so far. I know today we're going
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: to be talking a little bit about men's health topics today.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: But first things first, what makes your clinic unique, doctor Gupta?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for asking. I mean, I think the first
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: thing is we're a big red box. You know, we
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: look like a Christmas present on the side of the road.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: You do.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: But I think there's a couple of different ways. You know,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: One is our philosophy, which is we really care about
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: giving personalized attention to our patients. And you know, I
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: don't know if you've ever had like a nurse, a
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: neighbor or a friend who's a nurse, or in the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: healthcare field. You know, we want it to feel like
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: that where you can come and ask us questions and
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: we really are invested in you and give you a
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: lot of attention. I think to that end, we're more
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: available than a lot of primary care clinics. You know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: we're open in the evenings and on the weekends, in
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the evening till seven, and on the weekends from nine
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: to five, and it's really easy. You can you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: we love appointments, but we take walkins. We can see
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you pretty quick usually. Another way is that we're affiliated.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: We're federally qualified health center, and what it means is
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: that we accept pretty much all insurances, you know, including
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Medicaid and for our uninsured friends. You know, we have
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: a really good sliding skill, inexpensive sliding scale. I mean,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: probably you'd get healthcare with us on the sliding scale
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: for cheaper than anywhere you could anywhere else. And then
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I think maybe the last way is that we have
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of really cool technology in the clinic. You know,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: we use a hybrid model of in person and video telehealth,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and so we have some very cool tech to allow
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: us to hear the stethoscope and see the otoscope, see
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: in your ears, and you throw through a video in
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: some cases. And that's that's pretty cool. That's different from
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of clinics.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a whole lot of uniqueness going on. Now
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you touched on a lot of different things. So I'm
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: going to try to boil some of this down a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: little bit. So what services do you provide? It sounds
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: like many, Yeah, a lot.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: So you know, for acute issues, you know, pretty much
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: any sympthing that you got, we can do a real
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: good evaluation. So you know, flu season is coming and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: in some cases, in some places it's there, so cost congestion,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: trouble breathing, fevers, but also like rashes and diarrhea and
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: swelling and you know, trouble urinating. Pretty much, any symptom
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: you got, come and see us and we'll have at
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: least a way to work it up, or we can
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: send a referral. We can do all that stuff we
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: do on site testing for COVID flu RSV strap, we
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: can you know, send your blood for any test that
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: you need, and you know urine as well. We take
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: care of chronic conditions, so diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you know, depression, sleep issues, and we do screenings, you know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: screenings for these diseases, screenings for cancer, that sort of thing.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Like I said, we send referrals, we write prescriptions, we
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: can order imaging, we can kind of do it all.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: My goodness sakes, it sounds like it. You know, we
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: hear the term primary care. What is it? Minds it
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: so important?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so primary care is really like your front door
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: into the healthcare system. And you know, we all want
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to live healthy, happy, vibrant lives. And the things that
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: sort of stop that or make that challenging. These diseases
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: like cancer and heart disease, they don't come in through
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the front door, usually making it a lot of ruckus.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: They usually come into in the back door quietly, years
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: and years before they really cause problems. So I always
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: talk about like diabetes. Diabetes is one of the major
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: risk factors for heart disease, and about twenty five percent
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: if not more a percent of patients who have diabetes
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: don't know they have it, And then we always describe
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: it to patients as like, look, I mean you're not
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: going to feel this. Imagine that I go into your kitchen.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I use an analogy. I say, like, look, imagine I
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: go into your kitchen and I still a Coca cola
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: on the floor. It's going to make a big met
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: But if I don't clean it up, it's going to
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: be sticky and you're going to get like dust and
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: hair and bugs. And if you leave it for a
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: month or six months, or a year or five years,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: you can imagine that there's going to be all kinds
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: of You can imagine that there's going to be all
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: kinds of junk that's built up. And that's what's going
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: on here arteries. That's what's going on your arteries. You're
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: geting these plaques that build up, and the risk is
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: that if they build up over time, they can these
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: plaques can form a little ball and they can break
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: off and go to your heart and cause the heart
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: attack or your brain and cause a stroke when all
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and so, those are really bad. You don't want those
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: to happen. But really, what happened in years before you
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: didn't clean up the coke, you know what I mean?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you did clean up the initial mess, which seems
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to be kind of minor, but those things could just
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: snowball and really become big problems as you've outlined. Wow,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: our next question deals with that men's health and why
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: is it so important? Because I'm a guy and I
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: can tell you a lot of fellas for some reason
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: or another, we think we're ten feet tall and bullet
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: proof and nothing's going to get us.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Unfortunately. Yeah, you know, I'll just tell
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: you we're doing worse as men in this country as
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: related to health. Yeah, we have more heart attacks and strokes,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: more blood pressI and diabetes in some cases, more cancers,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: more substance abuse, and increasingly increasingly mental health, you know,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: anxiety and depression. And I think in some cases there's
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a stigma where, you know, going
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: to ask for help or going to get yourself checked
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: out and maybe perceived as potentially a weakness when we
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: were forgetting that really taking care of yourself is the
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: strongest thing you can do. It's the it's the it's
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: the most important thing for the people in your life
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: that you can show up for them and be healthy
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: and strong and happy. And taking care of yourself is
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the first step, you know, coming to see a doctor
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and just making sure that that you aren't having something
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: silent going on or that quietly going on that's going
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: to make your life very difficult or hard for you
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and your family in ten or twenty years. And then
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I'll just add the other thing, this other thing, which
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: is like every person at a certain age, you know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: when we're young, you know, we don't really think about
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: our bodies a lot of times, and then everybody at
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: a start age has to start paying attention to their body,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: taking care of their body, and really like making that
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: a priority. And I've just found that for a lot
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: of guys, that's a little bit later than our for
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: females because you know, we don't have to keep we
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: don't have so many things to upkeep when we're younger,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: but it's really important obviously.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Indeed, one thing that is very important, whether your male
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: or female is your family health histories. How does that
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: apply to what we look at today when a person
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: comes into the office with perhaps presenting symptoms of something.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Well, totally, And the first thing I'll say is that,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: like a lot of patients don't know their family history,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and that's okay too, and that that happens, but you know,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: we don't just inherit our hair color, in our eye
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: color from our parents. There's a lot of diseases that
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: we can inherit too. So knowing family history gives us
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: in the medical field, you know, a tip off of
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: what might be going on, and they accelerate the workup
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: that we do for you and help us screen for
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: things that we might not have otherwise thought of because
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: we know that they oftentimes these things are in your genetics.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: And also when we talk about things not getting away
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: from us too soon, but that would probably lean into
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: why it's so crucial to do annual physicals and keeping men,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: especially healthy long term.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, so we talked about how men in particular have
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: higher rates of certain cancers and heart disease. And what
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: we do in a physical is not only get a
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: great history family history and do a head to toe
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: physical exam, review your medications to make sure that you're
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: on the right stuff and you're on the right doses,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: but also we screen for stuff. So we'd draw blood
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: work to screen for things like diabetes, high cholesterol. You know,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: we can get electrolytes to look at your kidney function,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: your liver function, your blood counts, all that good stuff,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: but also we screen for cancers only cancer, prostate cancer
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: and in the ladies, cervical cancer and breast cancer. These
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: are cancers that start small and silently, and if you
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: catch them early, very treatable, and if you don't catch
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: them early, they're harder to treat. And then the last
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: thing I'll say is that at physicals we set health goals.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: And if you've ever thought about setting a goal like
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: stopping smoking or losing weight, or controlling your blood pressure,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: or feeling happier, or getting rid of anxiety or sleeping better,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: that's what we start. Those are journeys, and we start
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: the journey at the physical by setting those goals and
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: setting a plan and setting up follow up, and we
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: get success over time with those things.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: We've touched on a lot of these things about screenings
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: being so important and what things that can be detected.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Now there are things called age related screenings. I imagine
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: that you know, when you hit a certain number, there
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: are things that probably physiologically you should be looked at correct.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: And so you know, in this country and across the world,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the age forty five, if you start to look for
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: go on cancer, you know in nails We have a
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: blood test, a pretty simple blood test to screen for
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: plastate cancer, and so we also look at things like
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: hepatitis C and HIV, and we screen for you know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: alcohol abuse and tobacco abuse and all these other cardiovascular
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: and chronic disease things. Like I said, they don't start
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: with you feeling bad. You don't feel bad generally, And
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: so the more screening we can do, the earlier we
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: can detest things, and the more treatable these things are.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: You know, we're talking with doctor goopde and he's with
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the Health and Wellness and of course their clinic is
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: right across the street from us here at the radio station.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: And if you're looking for a place to make a
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: good start with this new year as far as getting
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: well and staying well, I strongly suggest you give them
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a visit. What advice doctor Goop do, would you give
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a man or a woman who may be a little
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: nervous or hesitant to come into the clinic.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a great question. The healthcare system
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: is kind of scary, and nobody loves going to the
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: doctor or he really likes it. But you know, I
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: think the important thing to note is that we in
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: our clinic. We're on your team. You know, we like
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: to think of ourselves as in the passenger seat. You're
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: in the driver's seat. We're in the passenger seat, and
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: we're both looking at the broad together and we worked
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: with you to you know, make a plan and achieve
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: your goals. But we're here to listen and learn and guide,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: and you're in the driver's seat and we're on your team.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: And I think that's the kind of the most important
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: thing that I wanted to let your listeners know is that,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: like that's our philosophy.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Well, that is great. I want everybody to at least
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to take a look at what's going on with the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: new health and wellness clink. I understand. We have a
• 11:49
