Neuropathy Treatment Most often your doctor will recommend treating your neuropathy with prescription drugs. These drugs such as Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta and Neurontin may reduce your symptoms but are primarily antidepressant drugs. These drugs may cause you to feel uncomfortable or drowsy and can cause a variety of side effects.

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and the most debilitation balance problems. This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in hands and feet which causes the nerves to begin to degenerate due to lack of nutrient flow.

As you can see in the figure above, the blood vessels that surround the nerves become diseased and then they shrivel up. This prevents the nerves from getting the nutrients they need in order to survive.

When these nerves begin to "die", they cause you to have balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling, burning, and many additional symptoms.

The main problem is that your doctor may have told you to just live with the problem or try the medications. There is now a clinic here in St. Petersburg that offers you hope without taking medications with side effects.

Loss of blood flow causes nerve damage and pain.

THREE GOALS OF TREATMENT AT ACHIEVE ACUPUNCTURE Increase blood flow Stimulate nerve fibers Decrease brain based pain

The treatment is to increase blood flow to stimulate the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to repair them. This amount of treatment varies from person to person.

We determine this by doing a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.

Move It, Move It

By Erin Feitsma, Times Total Media Correspondent

Looking to add a little whimsy to your workout? We’ve got you covered. Consider deviating from your tried-and-true exercise routine with some of these unusual, off-the-cuff healthy activity suggestions.

Goat yoga: What’s better than yoga? Yoga with goats, that’s what. If you haven’t heard of goat yoga, the concept is pretty self-explanatory – a yoga class takes place in a room full of baby goats who may or may not try to climb onto your back. Been there, done that? If goat yoga feels so yesterday, there’s also dog yoga for canine lovers or, for the truly poised among us, horseback yoga, where participants practice yoga poses *on the backs of live horses.* The more you know!

Glow-in-the-dark workouts: You love working out, and you love neon ensembles. Combine the two and you get … glowin-the-dark workout classes! Don’t deny yourself the simple pleasure of doing your fitness routine in the dark while looking like the neon-tinged, space-patterned carpet of your beloved neighborhood bowling alley. We can only surmise that classes like these get glowing reviews.

Quidditch: For Harry Potter fans, this fictious sport needs no introduction. If you’ve long wished you could be a student at Hogwarts, settle for the next best thing and enjoy a magical game of the wizarding world’s popular sport, Quidditch, in real life. Some colleges have their own Quidditch teams, and there’s also US Quadball, a Quidditch-adjacent sports organization that provides events and other types of programming for more than 100 club and collegiate teams across the nation. Accio Golden Snitch!

Stranger Things intervals: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) can be repetitive, but HIIT workouts don’t have to be boring.

Give your exercise routine a taste of the Upside Down with Stranger Things-inspired and ’80s-infused interval training that incorporates dance moves (“Running Up That Hill,” anyone?). You can find some of these Stranger Things workouts on YouTube.

If you’re not a fan of the show, there’s plenty of other themed HIIT routines out there to fit your fancy, from HIIT workouts soundtracked with emo music to Disney HIIT routines. You’re welcome.

Unicycle hockey: On the topic of unusual sports, unicycle hockey exists. Yes, it’s basically hockey, and yes, you have to compete while riding a unicycle. What could go wrong? One would assume that, not unlike horseback yoga, a fair amount of balance is involved. If you love playing hockey but aren’t keen on ice skating, this one-wheeled take on the sport may be the activity for you!

Drum cardio: Amp up your cardio workout and feel the beat with a drum cardio routine. For drum cardio, you’ll need a pair of drumsticks (you can easily find fitness drumsticks on Amazon), an exercise ball and a bucket for the ball to rest on. Classes can be taken in person, or if you have the equipment, you can work out at home along to YouTube drum cardio videos. (We won’t tell if you freestyle your own drum solo.)

Coffee: The Risks vs. The Rewards

By Sally Moe, Times Total Media Correspondent Coffee is as entrenched in American culture as burgers and beer.

According to the 2020 Atlas of American Coffee, 62% of us Yanks drink coffee every day and 70% drink it every week. (Those numbers are on the rise: 2022 figures have daily coffee drinkers at 64%.) But as much as we love the stuff, we have been exposed to reams of conflicting information over the years about whether it’s good or bad for health. Chalk that up to flawed studies, and failure to take into account such other lifestyle factors as smoking, alcohol use, or lack of exercise.

But WAIT! There’s more!

• Boosting energy levels (You knew that, of course – but one small study found that consuming caffeine increased time to exhaustion during a cycling exercise by 12%, and significantly reduced subjective levels of fatigue in participants.)

• Support of brain health: According to one review of 13 studies, people who regularly consumed coffee had a significantly lower risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. What’s more, caffeine consumption also slowed the progression of Parkinson’s over time. Another review of 11 observational studies in more than 29,000 people also found that the more coffee people consumed, the lower their risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Several studies have demonstrated that moderate coffee consumption could be associated with a lower risk of dementia and cognitive decline.

• Promoting weight management: Coffee could help support weight management and may be linked to decreased body fat. One study also found that people who consumed coffee were more likely to be physically active.

• A lowered risk of depression: According to one review of seven studies, each cup of coffee people consumed per day was linked to an 8% lower risk of depression.

• Reduced risk of early death: Compared with non-drinkers, those who drank 3-5 cups of coffee daily were 15% less likely to die early from all causes, including cardiovascular disease, suicide, and Parkinson’s disease. Both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee provided benefits. The study authors suggested that bioactive compounds in coffee may be responsible for interfering with disease development by reducing inflammation and insulin resistance.

Right now, with those factors accounted for in studies, the consensus is that the good well outweighs the bad. So let’s start with the good. For instance: Did you know that coffee has more antioxidants than black and green teas? Research into the effects of coffee has plenty more to say. Studies indicate regular consumption offers protection against: • Type 2 diabetes (one review of 30 studies found that each cup of coffee test subjects consumed per day was linked to a 6% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This is thought to be due to coffee’s ability to preserve the function of beta cells in the pancreas, which are responsible for producing insulin to regulate blood sugar levels.)

• Liver disease, including liver cancer: research shows that the more coffee people drink, the lower their risk of death from chronic liver disease. Drinking one cup of coffee per day was tied to a 15% lower risk, while drinking four cups per day was linked to a 71% lower risk. As little as 2-3 cups of coffee a day can result in a 38% reduction of risk of developing liver cancer.

• Heart attack and stroke: Some research shows that drinking coffee could be linked to a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, and heart failure. Furthermore, habitual coffee drinking has been associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in women.

Obviously, there are many benefits associated with regular coffee intake, but it’s still not for everybody, due to a number of factors. For instance: • Coffee can temporarily raise blood pressure • Too much coffee can increase your heart rate, cause palpitations, and increase production of stress hormones • Coffee can irritate your stomach and GI tract • In sensitive individuals, coffee can worsen anxiety • Coffee may worsen the symptoms of GERD, because it relaxes the sphincter between the stomach and the esophagus, enabling acid reflux • Unfiltered coffee (Turkish coffee, French press, espresso) contains diterpenes, which raise LDL cholesterol and triglycerides Finally, coffee is not good for kids under 12; and should be consumed with care or avoided by those who have IBS; overactive bladder; Crohn’s; glaucoma; hypertension; arrhythmias; epilepsy; anxiety or panic disorder; or are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you love coffee, but are uncertain about whether it would help or hurt you, don’t go to Facebook University – get the 411 from your doctor.

Pets Can Have “Pawsitive” Effects On Your Health

By Erin Feitsma, Times Total Media Correspondent In movies, pets can talk, fly and perhaps even save little Timmy from a well. Your real-life pet may not be able to do all that, but they’re just as super. Did you know that animals can have a positive effect on your well-being? Whether you’re a cat person, dog person, ferret person or just an overall pet person (we knew we liked you), here we outline the benefits that your favorite little floof may be having on your health right under your nose. You do the most for Fluffy – but Fluffy may be doing the most for you.

Mental health: If you suffer from anxiety, consider getting a dog. Research shows that having a pup around can help soothe anxiety and calm you down. Research has even linked pet ownership with a decreased likelihood of depression. It’s also been proven that spending time with animals can lower your blood pressure and cortisol, the stress hormone. Ah, pets – they’re natural fluffy stress relievers. Just another reason to love them!

Exercise opportunities: If you want to get moving, adding a pet to your home could help improve your physical health.

You may not walk your turtle or hedgehog (though we’d like to see it done), but walking your dog around the block each day helps you get off the couch and get your steps in. Dog owners are also less likely to be obese.

Heart health: Health benefits aren’t only for dog lovers – feline fanatics reap positive effects, too. If you’ve never

considered owning a cat (or two … or three), this fact may change your mind: One study suggests that those who have a cat are at less risk of suffering a fatal stroke or heart attack.

Social connectivity: Many of us have struggled with feelings of isolation and loneliness over the past few years thanks to COVID, but our pets may be able to help with that. One survey found that close to 90 percent of those surveyed said that interacting with an animal helped them feel less lonely. Not only that, but pets may also help give your social life a boost.

A Harvard survey found that pet owners were more likely than those without a pet to meet new people around their neighborhood.

The Newest Technology in Cataract Surgery ataract surgery is a common procedure to remove cataracts, which is the clouding of the natural lens in the eye. During cataract surgery, your natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens implant or “IOL.” In the past, only a fixed power IOL was available. Now the doctors at Pasadena Eye Center are among a few surgeons in the country that can offer the Light Adjustable Lens, which is made of a special photosensitive polymer, and utilizes new technology that allows our surgeons to optimize the prescription power of the implant after cataract surgery.

implanted, the surgeon will adjust the power of the LAL using a series of painless, non-invasive UV light treatments. This allows you to try your vision and make further adjustments that suit your lifestyle.

Once you and your surgeon are satisfied with your vision, the final treatment locks the power in the lens, giving you the best visual outcome from cataract surgery.

Is Blue Light Bad For Your Eyes?

By Sally Moe, Times Total Media Correspondent Maybe. The evidence is leaning in that direction.

But first, the good news: When it comes to blue light, timing is everything. Daytime exposure to blue light boosts attention and alertness, enhances memory and cognition, and lifts your mood. (It’s been used to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression triggered by the shorter days of winter. Research has shown that 20 minutes of morning blue light exposure helps ease SAD symptoms.) Blue light can also be beneficial for certain skin maladies, like acne, plaque psoriasis and actinic keratosis.

(If you’re thinking about buying an at-home blue light device for this purpose, be sure it’s FDA-approved.) Furthermore, it regulates your body’s natural wake and sleep cycle, or circadian rhythm. If you’re wondering where all this blue light comes from, the dominant source is sunlight – followed by digital devices including computers, smartphones, tablets and LED TVs, and fluorescent light and LED lights.

So yes, we do need it. But too much night-time blue light exposure is believed to cause problems. Research indicates it can reduce the quality and duration of your sleep, as it suppresses the release of melatonin; that suppression is linked to metabolic syndrome, depression, obesity and cancer. Cumulatively, constant exposure to blue light may damage retinal cells and contribute to vision problems such as age-related macular degeneration. It may also contribute to cataracts, eye cancer and other eye problems. According to a vision study by the National Eye Institute, children are more at risk than adults for

these effects because their eyes absorb more blue light from digital devices. While our cornea and lens protect the retina from damaging UV rays, they do not hold back blue light. And devices like cellphones are typically held close to the face, especially before sleep, and that intensifies the exposure.

As digital and LED powered technologies are relatively new, more research tracking long-term effects will be needed. In the meantime, to maintain your sight and your quality of sleep, there are protective actions you can take: • Turn off devices three hours before bedtime. If that thought makes you shudder, switch to an amber-light mode between sunset and sunrise.

• At night, wear blue-light blocking glasses. Some studies show that when subjects use blue-light-blocking glasses – even in a brightly lit room or while using an electronic device – they produce just as much melatonin as if it were dark.

• If you wear prescription glasses, request anti-reflective lenses, which reduce glare and block blue light.

• Eat plenty of foods containing eye-protective lutein and zeaxanthin, such as spinach, peas, summer squash, eggs, pumpkin, broccoli, avocados, carrots and pistachios.

• For additional protection, consider a supplement that supports eye health; TEBS is one example.

• At night, keep your home as dark as possible to support sleep. Tone down the digital display on your clock. Change night lights to red or amber bulbs.
