  • Recipe: Skinny White Chicken Chili

    I love it because it’s packed with flavor, plenty of protein and fiber, and easy to make. The lean chicken breast, light broth, and veggies keep the calories low. The fall is my favorite time to make soups, stews, and chilis. They are perfect for a Sunday afternoon watching football with friends and family. I make a big batch and nibble on the leftovers for a few days, which tastes even better!

  • Can Nonsmokers Get Lung Cancer? The Answer Is Yes

    Here’s an alarming statistic: While 80 percent of the cases we see in our clinic stem from those who have a history of smoking cigarettes, it might surprise a lot of people to know that the other 20 percent have never smoked cigarettes or used any form of tobacco in their lives. That amounts to about 70,000 cases of the 225,000 diagnosed with lung cancer in 2018.

  • The Benefits of In Utero Spina Bifida Surgery

    In the United States, more than 1,500 babies are born every year with a condition known as spina bifida, a congenital condition that occurs when the spinal cord does not develop normally (neural tube defect). The lack of protective structures such as bone, muscle and skin exposes the spinal cord and nerves to the amniotic fluid in the womb, making them susceptible to damage. In many cases, spina bifida is diagnosed in utero with a sonogram as early as 18 to 20 weeks.

  • What Is Robotic Surgery?

    It almost sounds like something from a science fiction movie: using a robot to conduct surgery. But it’s not as futuristic as it sounds. In fact, robotic surgery is taking place right here at Orlando Health.

  • Educating Yourself Through Your Maternal Journey

    The volume of information about pregnancy can be overwhelming. From items in the news to the plethora of online parenting sites, to advice from friends, relatives and even well-meaning strangers, it can be hard to sift through the studies, stories, opinions and facts to determine what to be concerned about during pregnancy and what not to lose sleep over. If you are pregnant, you’re making decisions for you and your baby. It may be as simple as what you’ll eat for your next meal or more complicated, as in, should you have an amniocentesis?

  • Reduce Neck Pain with Strengthening Exercises

    The phrase “pain in the neck” usually refers to a task that is irritating or bothersome. But sometimes, the phrase is literal. Whether you slept the wrong way or have “text neck,” a stiff or sore neck is a painful reminder of limitations in your mobility.

  • Is Endometriosis Affecting Fertility?

    Endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects 11 percent of women in the United States, particularly those in their 30s and 40s. It occurs when tissue that belongs in the lining of the uterus grows in other areas of the body, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, intestines, and even in the thoracic region. These growths can swell and bleed, block fallopian tubes, form scar tissue and adhesions, and affect your intestines and bladder.

  • Ways to Reduce Menopause Symptoms—Naturally

    Menopause is a natural process, but for some women, the transition can be difficult physically and emotionally. When menopause occurs, your ovaries stop producing eggs, which means you can no longer get pregnant naturally. You’re considered to be in menopause when you haven’t had a period in a year and your periods have permanently stopped. Women can enter menopause from age 45 to 60, but the average age to reach menopause is 52.

  • TAVR Heart Valve Replacement Benefits Younger, Healthier Patients Too

    Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been used since 2011 for patients with a narrowing of the aortic valve opening (aortic stenosis), whose age or poor health made it unlikely they could survive traditional open-heart surgery. But two new clinical trials indicate that TAVR also can be used in younger, healthier patients.  These results will significantly change how doctors treat patients who have failing aortic valves.
