Additional Show Notes

Nov 11, 2022

This podcast, Dr. Abby Elliott returns and the debut of Dr. Natalie Stoltman, both primary care physicians with Lakeview Clinic. They are both here for the third episode of Ridgeview Podcast CME Series: Journal Review. This is the episode where our speakers talk through new, practice changing and/or just interesting journal articles. In this episode we have six articles addressing subjects related to primary care, including antibiotic prescribing, weight loss modalities, intermittent fasting, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, LDL levels in relation to coronary plaque, and proton pump inhibitors. The articles referenced in this podcast are linked in the attached show notes.

Enjoy the podcast.

Objectives:
Upon completion of this podcast, participants should be able to:

  • Identify when antibotics are warranted for pediatric infections.
  • Compare the differences in weight change between individuals who participated in a commercial weight management program to those who participated in a "do-it-yourself (DIY)" approach.
  • Explain intermittent fasting and its correlation to health outcomes.
  • Define nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and explain the different treatment modalities.
  • Explain the correlation between LDL levels and calcium scores/CTA and cardiac outcomes.
  • Describe the best practice approach to proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) de-prescribing in ambulatory patients.
