1. Is black coffee better for you than coffee w/ sweetner, sugar or creamer?. (All coffee is good for you. Things you ad don’t change coffee much. 3 cups a day and over is GOOD FOR YOU; 6 cups a day & over is BAD FOR YOU. Each cup of coffee you drink decreases your risk of Type 2 Diabetes by 11%.)
2. Should you carry baby aspirin in case of a stroke or heart issue?? (Because baby aspirin has a blood-thinning effect folks think it is good if you have a cardian event. BUT all aspirin has a risk of bleeding.)

– cont. QUESTIONS IN THE MEDICINE CABINET from; Dr. Lindsey, Dr. Brian, news, Internet and Joey Pals in the “Medicine Cabinet”.
3. Is there a PROBIOTIC that will do the same as Ozempic? (Ozempic is by prescription ONLY and is used for the management of diabetes but has a big impact for weight loss. Ozempic increases a hormone called GLP1. So there was a study in the Journal of Nature that showed other ways of increasing the GLP1 hormone in your gut w/ OTC preparations. Fecal Transplants are done on a regular basis in this regard. Watch out for things that aren’t tested or have not been thru clinical trials. Fiber in your diet will increase your GLP1.)
5. Can using medical Marijuana be bad for your heart but good for pain? (Yes, it’s good for pains. Study @ Stanford & AHA show that marijuana causes inflammation in heartblood vessel walls. Chronic use of marijuana is the cause of side-effects and inflammation. Side effects on your heart up to 3 hours after marijuana use. Vaping has additives that do not belong in the lung and end up smoking cigarettes )
