The Flex Diet – It Bends, So You Don't Break.

Thanks @jamesbeckerman - sounds like i need to check out your book The Flex Diet too!

@LouiseAronson Looks like a great book.

@jamesbeckerman Yes- only minutes from our house or 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver.

@250joules did you take that? so beautiful.

@CaulfieldTim indeed!

@jamesbeckerman I plan to build up some viral resistance tonight!

@jamesbeckerman mr. ha ha u didnt answer the Q

@jamesbeckerman not rain right now, sunny but chilly. had hour music/dance class last night. great workout. want to try zumba. :P

@davepell Very touching video of the school security officer using an AED to save the live of a student (who he saw on security cam)

@MollyHottleProv it's on!

Smthing to look forward to next Tue? MT @jamesbeckerman Running in Reverse http://t.co/yXb08L7d <-good for your legs, bad for back of head?

@jamesbeckerman nice monkey.

@ChrisMcWeather double true!

@drabdullahSA too much responsibility... :)

@jamesbeckerman first step is the hardest! SMART. like it

@jamesbeckerman just choose the most correct answer ..

@jamesbeckerman what is the best answer? .. no time for ha ha

@HASC001 we figured we would make it more central so that people from the east side could join us too!

@jamesbeckerman considered putting together something similar for the Hillsboro area since the race will be in Hillsboro?

@jhfrudd @shelleywood2 you say potato...

@ShelleyWood2 @jamesbeckerman TAV*I* surely?

@ShelleyWood2 @HeartBobH @cpcannon @DrDave01 @DrVes @marcrkatz @jamesbeckerman @theheartorg MADIT RIT for sure. RELY-ABLE maybe too.

@ShelleyWood2 @theheartorg The Year of the TAVR...!

@jamesbeckerman so ?

@jamesbeckerman yeaaah , and I'm asking u as a cardiologist .. What is the most correct answer ?

@drabdullahsa ha ha - now you tell me!

@jamesbeckerman thanks , but it is an exam Q .. we should choose one answer !!

@drabdullahSA how about some A and some C?

@jamesbeckerman Best exercise for Ischemic heart disease patients : A. Isotonic B. Isometric C. Yoga D. Anaerobic

@drjohnm @jamesbeckerman You're welcome. Have a good night.

@jamesbeckerman - will do. Thanks

@DennisRx It's on YouTube and therefore can be embedded or linked. But it would be great if you credited Providence Oregon as the source!

@jamesbeckerman - I was wanting to post the video describing the 5k challenge. Our hospital promotes healthy living. This would fit right in

@jamesbeckerman @TodaysHospital Thanks y'all.

@TodaysHospital @drjohnm Great post John!

@DennisRx Thanks Dennis! What would you like to post? Happy to encourage other people to get on board.

@jamesbeckerman Great idea! Would like to duplicate at my hospital. Would like permission to post on my website?

@TheSquare @musicmillennium @kyleiboshi good times!

@StephStricklen @kurtvalet @thesquare aw yeeeeah

@KurtValet @jamesbeckerman @TheSquare AHAHAHAHA!!!

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman @TheSquare u called? Lol i AM the Valet HOLLA!!

@TheSquare @stephstricklen I try to avoid it.

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman We'll want your thoughts on "acute morning sickness"

@jamesbeckerman @TheSquare right next to the tree...it's ok

@jamesbeckerman Thanks - now pls write about us for all your MD followers on WebMD! ;)

@YoniFreedhoff @caulfieldtim ah well. I'll go for a run and then play...

@caulfieldtim @jamesbeckerman Even used during gym class in many schools.

@jamesbeckerman True. But often marketed as fitness tool http://t.co/J1gvangP & push to use exergames as one solution http://t.co/mDNwzHSa

Attended Heart to Heart forum. Heard @jamesbeckerman speak on wellness. What a motivating speaker! I'm now reading his book THE FLEX DIET.

@StephStricklen we r listening to Dean Martin too! Or someone similar. C u tomorrow!

@ProfSpiker well done!

@caulfieldtim or maybe I just like playing them :)

@CaulfieldTim my guess is that parents but these games for their kids because they're fun, not as an intended substitute for active play

@I_am_orange haven't read the study. If a real effect, pretty impressive!

@jamesbeckerman Any comment http://t.co/62clUG0s

@AARPOR Thanks for including me in your Heart to Start forum this morning! Sharon was an incredibly moving speaker. Just fantastic.

@archerpdx73 A real solution for few, fad for most. But probably a fun read!

@jamesbeckerman what are your thoughts on "wheat belly"?

@ProfSpiker have a great time

@billhart46 Touche

@jamesbeckerman "Drinking as Much Coffee as You Like", but how do I do 3-4 hr bike rides?

Fantastic. I have to read HOG again MT @drjohnm Beautiful piece by House of God author. I loved the four new rules! http://t.co/DsLbZBcb

@jamesbeckerman @StephStricklen totally ignoring that

@jamesbeckerman @StephStricklen http://t.co/vJKa9pvN

@ChrisMcWeather @stephstricklen yep... Choosing to ignore that this week :)

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman some recent bad press about about hard running as we age...major bummer

@StephStricklen @ChrisMcWeather what's going on? Is Chris going to help lead track sessions for http://t.co/fQeGsagy?

@jamesbeckerman so true!

@ChrisMcWeather ...HERE: @jamesbeckerman .. chris has a story for you....

@jamesbeckerman @drjohnm @theheartorg @athletesheart as James said: "For Now" http://t.co/OjzJXEGv we are working on this.

@drjohnm couldn't agree more. Join us in Seattle at @PHWorg CME mtg and let's discuss over a beer :)

@StephStricklen did we win!??

@TheSquare it's on!

@jamesbeckerman LUCKY!!!!!

@jamesbeckerman So the old fat guy has good health?

@drjohnm @theheartorg @athletesheart yes we can

@jamesbeckerman +1 optimism! But can we (the entire #hcare community) avoid widespread over-diagnosis. Never create disease, esp in kids

@jamesbeckerman: Too bad you don't have any exercise routines for paraplegics. #weneedhelptoo

@TheSquare @jamesbeckerman WE ALREADY KNOW! http://t.co/G6hjcTJT heh. @ByronBeck

@jamesbeckerman Find out his Portland workout routine and report back to us on Monday!

@jamesbeckerman seems to be the ongoing debate about intensity over duration. Slow and steady in moderation wins? Hmm

@jamesbeckerman @theheartorg @athletesheart > Cost of ECG is important. A far stiffer headwind in the US is ECG interpretation. #lost-art

@reggieaqui can't wait!

@tapgirl82 it was lots of fun! Squeaked by with 3:39. Enjoying some rest!

@tapgirl82 you bet I am!

@jamesbeckerman http://t.co/KVmmLU5B

@jamesbeckerman hope seattle marathon went well. how did you do? weather shouldn't have been too bad. have fun at concert tonight.

@jamesbeckerman awesome, not showing your age right james? are you in your 40's yet? have fun at the rose garden. wave to the boss.

@jamesbeckerman Fascinating topic that needs much more research!

@StephStricklen did we win? I don't even know how to check!

@jamesbeckerman tomorrow. drawing is tomorrow. ha!!

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman Y'all must have the same numbers @MattDobney and I have if you're going to win, too! :)

@StephStricklen when WE win...

@jamesbeckerman i am so getting you one. store is right here. i already have mine. will text you pics with numbers!!

@StephStricklen buy me a ticket! i'll pay you back...

@jamesbeckerman wait. if you win will you pay off my house? seems like a small thing to ask. heh.

@jamesbeckerman ahahahahahaha!!!!!!

@jamesbeckerman Agreed absolutely! We should be able to do this for a few dollars per child at their annual wellness visit

@ACCinTouch For now.

@SWCVA The study way over-estimates the costs. But glad people are talking about it!

@ACCmediacenter @theheartorg it's time for the innovators to get to work. Lets create a system that will be sustainable.

@jamesbeckerman But the "oregon.providence. ...." link works.

@jamesbeckerman Does not work with www. or http://www. Bitly says "Most bitly URLs are 4-6 characters, and only include letters and numbers"

@athletesheart Definitely. The arbitrary costs (and wide ranges of cost) for ECG's always surprises me...

@danamlewis it was awesome! PR'd and felt so good. My boys did the Kids' Marathon too and loved it. Great day.

@danamlewis glad it went well! the sunbreak at 11am made all the difference!

@athletesheart @theheartorg interesting study, but i'd disagree with some of the assumptions (i.e. cost/frequency)

@billhart46 Try it with a www. before it - just worked for me - but strange it doesn't without it!

@jamesbeckerman way to go! that's fabulous. and great for your guys, too!

@jamesbeckerman thanks! how was yours? tentatively thinking of walking the full next year (eek!) since it went so well. weather was great!

@jamesbeckerman @theheartorg Agree. Enjoyed the counterpoint. Food for thought. We need low-cost ECG's.

@jamesbeckerman http://t.co/ISgWZoGp Bitly says that valid.

@jamesbeckerman http://t.co/sJQ2VYzS

@ghs_scp thanks so much!!

@jamesbeckerman Great Job! Congrats!

@bhoogstr84 thanks so much!

@jamesbeckerman awesome finish! Congratulations :-)

@JoeWiederhold thank you! Lots of signs by spectators actually read "Beat Paul Ryan"

@jamesbeckerman You are not pulling a Paul Ryan are you!! Good Job!

@YoniFreedhoff feeling a bit older than I did this morning :) thanks Yoni!

@DavidrVH thank you!

@ProfSpiker thanks man! Have fun with your Mudder!

@jamesbeckerman Wow! Not bad for an old guy.

@jamesbeckerman Flyyyyyyyyyyyyying. Congrats!

@jamesbeckerman good luck have a good safe run. shouldn't be too hot for cold for you. :) go ducks going to beat beavs in civil war.

@danamlewis have fun!

@jamesbeckerman nice - good luck tomorrow! I'm walking the half for the first time.

@johnrvcardio thx John!

@YoniFreedhoff thanks Yoni! I've eaten spaghetti for the past 7 meals.

@jamesbeckerman Have fun Jamie!

@DavidrVH thanks so much!

@I_am_orange thanks so much! Happy Thanksgiving to you!

@LouHeartDoc Thank you so, so much. Have an awesome Thanksgiving!

@jamesbeckerman raising money to help folks exercise/run their 1st 5K. Consider donating- I just did! 3 DAYS left! http://t.co/zVbYpxW9

@jamesbeckerman Great luck with your race this weekend & Happy Thanksgiving to you!

@athletesheart :) Thanks man - have a great Thanksgiving!

@jamesbeckerman Don't stop eating 'til Sunday! Good luck!

@jamesbeckerman Ahh ... the old 70’s no CHO intake to rev--up glycn synth 4 Sat CHO load – didn’t know that was still around? Good Luck

@samanthaettus i think it's so great you are doing it. calls from listeners were sad - lots of people hurting out there.

@YoniFreedhoff @drwalker_rph i'm somehow very zen about it. i saw it dripping, put a spaghetti pot below it, and then played the ukulele.

@drwalker_rph @jamesbeckerman I heard blue tarps work the best.

Sorry to hear about leaky roof @jamesbeckerman are you going to go with the blue tarps or brown ones?

@jamesbeckerman that means so much to me coming from you!! Thanks for listening. Xo

@jamesbeckerman Me = empathetic. Ours went last year.

@samanthaettus i'm listening right now! you are awesome!!

@YoniFreedhoff knew it...

@YoniFreedhoff wow - those weights look real! Is that CGI?

@jamesbeckerman And we inflated them with helium.

@jamesbeckerman Nov 20 is today's show! http://t.co/kXBZpNXu

@jamesbeckerman They're inflatable!

@samanthaettus how can i listen to your show? on the web/live - let me know. Have a happy Thanksgiving weekend!

@pdxpeacock Thanks man! Maybe you can join us one day at the track... :)

@RNJax sure! Thanks for watching!

@jamesbeckerman Don't u think you should update your information on fish oil supplements to reflect the current studies that say otherwise?

@jamesbeckerman Thanks so much for live stream link re: healthy holiday gifts! Great compilation! May I re-post link to Palliser PCN site?

@jamesbeckerman @TheSquare It's also the perfect way to prep for @AHAOregon Heart & Stroke 5k on May 18 and its FREE! http://t.co/CPGP3rIO

@StephStricklen Dark and the chill. Hibernating weather. @jamesbeckerman @TheSquare

@theonetruebix @jamesbeckerman @TheSquare too damn dark. who turned out the lights?

@StephStricklen This tweet made me realize it's only 6:30, not like 9. The hell... @jamesbeckerman @TheSquare

@RNJax I'll post the link to the video later tonight! Or you can watch us live at 7 PST http://t.co/b2OIwhdi

@jamesbeckerman @thesquare what about us Canadians...what can you share with us re: Holidays :) Anything?

@StephStricklen see you tonight!

@SeattleMamaDoc hmmm. I think you should run :)

@jamesbeckerman Thank you for the shout out, we are racing with heart :-)

@YoniFreedhoff with a bit of a Game of Thrones feel.

@YoniFreedhoff in the boardroom! just like Trench Talks! quite an illustrious group.

@jamesbeckerman Was the McGill Faculty club. Kinda Downton Abbey'esque on a small scale.

@jamesbeckerman Was a touch surreal!

@CardiacConsult you're an interventionalist! understandable :)

@CardiacConsult I'm thinking cardioversion...?

@jamesbeckerman totally. Ur right. I got too aggressive.

@jamesbeckerman Ah yes, that was a memorable one, too. We could go on like this all day probably.

@samanthaettus looks great, Sam.

@jamesbeckerman Thank you!

@paleohappy Or... http://t.co/nczjrIGO

@jamesbeckerman I still like this one http://t.co/yff3vEjt

@CardiacConsult would love to talk to you about it - DM me and we can chat by email.

@CardiacConsult check out our program here http://t.co/v7DKUsz7 !

@CardiacConsult mos def. ECG will still be helpful though to identify long QT, Brugada, etc. - very optimistic!

@jamesbeckerman how can I get Jersey involved I wonder?

@CardiacConsult Agreed - I think that's the future of screenings - cheaper more portable assessments will make them even more cost-effective

@jamesbeckerman Yep-no need 4 full ECHO if purpose is screening -put probe on chest for 5-10 mins and screen majority-probly quickr thn ECG!

Why not add a handheld US to quickly assess LV wall thickness too - cheap, easy and probly cd get it donated. @jamesbeckerman @I_am_orange

@jamesbeckerman RT @LindsayRae19 Are more young athletes dying from heart attacks, or does it just seem like it? A... http://t.co/PJOvznvD

@drsteventucker @johnnosta amazing hospital applications...would also save lots of $

@jamesbeckerman I'm in the "healthyzone" of neurotic... Psychotic is another topic altogether... #joking

@jamesbeckerman Ya, will sign up. Need to absorb your knowledge. Was hoping to help you with screenings on timbers/academy team

@StephStricklen @thesquare Monday! I have some fun ideas...

@PDXSportsMed I'm going! You?

@jamesbeckerman "Fun ideas"... #straightjacket #thorazine #valium...lol

@jamesbeckerman You see this? Day before timbers physicals http://t.co/xjJRUjsh

@TheSquare sure!

@jamesbeckerman Brave, to admit that monkey on your back. ;-) cc: @StephStricklen @TheSquare

RT @GlassHospital I like practical things like this: OK To Eat Before Rolling Up Sleeve For Cholesterol Test http://t.co/az54CyWZ <- agree

@jamesbeckerman You have any thoughts on the marijuana legalization in WA? Could be a topic for Monday.

@DirectorCarey @thesquare I'll come up w a medical spin on it :)

@jamesbeckerman I think that needs to become part of the #DocBox segment @TheSquare !

@gillianmandich Haven't yet! Looks interesting though...

@YoniFreedhoff if only...

@jamesbeckerman I read that as, "Listening to Ray Charles, eating nachos"

@icefish2010 @lmkt1 absolutely! Get the rest u need...

. @jamesbeckerman @LMKT1 Morning Doc. (Handshake)Nice to meet U. Thanks 4 the kind thoughts & concern. I'll be happy,when I can pull my Sled

@infobhan well played, sir

@jamesbeckerman the NYC marathon or Quaker Oats?

@YoniFreedhoff hahaha

@jamesbeckerman I forgot Sun is end of Daylight Savings (AZ does not do Daylight Savings). So, Mon times would be 1 hr earlier than I said.

@jamesbeckerman Awesome! Do you have any availability next Mon between 9:30AM-noon and/or 1:45-4:15?

Thanks Mark and Ditto @nwrugs @jamesbeckerman @filmoreclark @CAHomeandDesign @tkpleslie

@CharlesTe pretty interesting...but I guess it's also imp't to estimate benefits on more vulnerable populations

@jamesbeckerman agree completely. I have no problem with the rec for those with cardiac and resp issues get it.

@jamesbeckerman this 2010 cochrane review shows little to modest benefit in healthy people, thoughts? http://t.co/sk3o2cQW

@jamesbeckerman wow that's a lot. Always thought it better to treat the cause (weak immunity) than the symptoms (flu itself)

@jamesbeckerman That's what I told her. She had several other myths as well unfortunately.

@DirectorCarey allergic to eggs?

@jamesbeckerman @TheSquare @StephStricklen don't forget whooping cough. Even tho my daughter was vaccinated, she's got it. I got the booster

@jamesbeckerman There was a handful of us rejected that year!

@jamesbeckerman Nope. Was told I wasn't supposed to have the one with whatever preservatives it had in it while pregnant or nursing.

@blazerrose @jamesbeckerman @TheSquare Had to go to my doctor to get one w/o preservatives. Couldn't do the free one at work. #flushotreject

@blazerrose @jamesbeckerman @TheSquare I'm bad about the flu shot. The only time I've ever gotten one was when I was pregnant.

@DirectorCarey @jamesbeckerman @TheSquare sooo, I've heard it said u can't get flu from a shot, but I had the WORST flu after 1, never since

@athletesheart @slowtwitch great work!

@fchern I'm thinking coincidence

@JSertoli except the virus changes each year...she's probably at higher than avg risk

@RITTERSP between 170k-760k Oregonians get it each year. glad you haven't! It's pretty awful.

@jamesbeckerman Got the shot last year, 3-5d later 1000's of PVCs 1st time and lasted 3m. Coincidence? Shying away at least this yr.

@jamesbeckerman a friend said bc she builds up immunity to it over the years, she's a teacher ugh

@jamesbeckerman I haven't had the flu in 10yrs & haven't had a shot. What am I missing out on? Eat healthy, exercise & wash hands #simple

@jamesbeckerman in the UK those at risk like yours truly get first dibs on vaccine with walk in clinics; some firms offer it. Bitty coverage

@jamesbeckerman r they packaged at unregulated compounding ctrs like where the spine meds came from? If so, no thx -- rather have the flu!

@jamesbeckerman @thesquare ummm thats during prime sports watching #yesimagirl ... and I get really heated about flu shots... #soapbox

@mos5y given that 250,000 Americans are hospitalized from flu each yr, our immune systems don't seem as effective as we'd like...

@DrJasonHatfield yep. Impossible to get the flu from a vaccine, although "flu-like" side fx are possible (although less common these days)

@reggieaqui not aware of any benefit of D for flu - and recent study shown not effective to prevent regular colds either!

@JanetDernbach depending on the type of flu vaccine and the year, they are estimated at 50-80% effective.

@jamesbeckerman shouldn't your immune system learn that task between the ages of 20-50...?

@jamesbeckerman @thesquare I know!! I couldn't chance it. have flu shot will travel.

@jamesbeckerman My patients swear "it gives me the flu!" It's a chore to convince them otherwise. #peoplearesetintheirways

@jamesbeckerman after I got flu shot got comments online like "pity" "noooo" etc. someone suggested I should have taken vitamin d. What?

@jamesbeckerman I get the shot = I get bad flu. No shot, no flu. Coincidence? Probably. Do shots really work?

@StephStricklen @thesquare argh! You beat me to it! Looking forward to seeing u and also talking about crazy caffeine drinks...

@NicoleDeva @thesquare tune in at 7...!

@jamesbeckerman @TheSquare ugh Flu shots.... WHY?!?!?

@jamesbeckerman @TheSquare yay!!!! got my flu shot yesterday FYI!!!!!!!!! can I give YOU one? heh.

@cgallivan34 Sports Cardiology Summit in DC - fantastic

@cgallivan34 anabolic

@DoctorNatasha seems too quick...

@ghs_scp that rate seems way too high. 1 in 30? I don't buy it... Something else to explain it? #SCS12

@jamesbeckerman Could be but we don't disqualify that many so absolute number quite low.

@YoniFreedhoff not a Trench Talk...

@jamesbeckerman Few are!

@jamesbeckerman If you get a boring speaker... http://t.co/i2oEFoL5

@jamesbeckerman Jamie - keep eyes/ears open for "balance". Exercise is Medicine (the organization) funded by Coca Cola. They like that spin.

@jamesbeckerman Ive gotten a little behind but it chronicles my race days prior to HCM, the discovery of HCM, then the ICD a few years later

@bigbluetodd3 I look forward to checking out your blog!

@Good4Hearts absolutely

@jamesbeckerman Such a great study that Im glad to be part of. I wish more data was being captured from the devices of competitive athletes.

@jamesbeckerman I think I saw the smoke monster in there.

@jamesbeckerman yes, people minimize diagnosis, and seizure like activity is common with lack of blood flow to brain, throws most people off

@TheSquare agreed! wonder what kind of medical evaluation he might have had. a stress test while jumping off a spaceship is hard to do...

@TheSquare Is that a dare?

@jamesbeckerman No! I was just generally curious. Something like that must be intense even thought the suit protected him.

@jamesbeckerman Great to meet you yesterday & a true pleasure to hear you talk! Hope you come back to #Canada soon! #TrenchTalks

@YoniFreedhoff @regular_jo @jamesbeckerman @puddester @PithPartyCanada @LazMan18 Agreed. Can't wait for the next one!

@jamesbeckerman Thanks for the fantastic talk yesterday! Sorry we didn't get to connect, but was a pleasure to hear you speak. #TrenchTalks

@jamesbeckerman Looking forward to our next go around. Thanks for being such a rock star (in a good way, not a diva way)!

@yonifreedhoff @regular_jo @jamesbeckerman @puddester @PithPartyCanada @LazMan18 That's not french for incredible.

@jamesbeckerman Some folks don't know their medical genealogy. Some families keep that stuff secret. #fear

@jamesbeckerman -"it's not the obesity, it's the fitness" - inspired talk!! #highestrelativerisk #trenchtalks

@RuthcareyRD we did it in August - fantastic!

@newsjunkie60 I agree - we always ask about family hx of sudden death, hypertrophic CM, etc.

@jamesbeckerman Genetic history should also be taken into consideration regarding heart screening.

@TTHDragons thank you so much!

@jamesbeckerman Always good advice for viewers. Lots of people feel guilty if they "rest", especially following such a strenuous event, Thx!

@katymuldoon I'm running the Seattle Marathon to raise awareness and support! http://t.co/Rx7qXEdI

@katymuldoon saw your oregonian article! thought you might be interest in our free weekly youth heart screening program http://t.co/0DtGo3XZ

@YoniFreedhoff @jamesbeckerman there's a time and a place for such goodness...and this is it

@YoniFreedhoff Heyyy… I was there for lunch today! :-) / @jamesbeckerman

@YoniFreedhoff @jamesbeckerman Schwartz's?

@WillemseLA thanks for being here! #trenchtalks

@newsjunkie60 you are correct, sir

@jamesbeckerman Canada

@jamesbeckerman #girlyouknowitstrue :)

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman #getoffmylawn #younguns <G>

@jamesbeckerman you know we can hear you right? #millivanilli

@blazerrose @stephstricklen @thesquare hahaha

@blazerrose Maybe @jamesbeckerman has some advice for that! :) He'll be talking about marathon recovery, anyway...

@StephStricklen cool - after tackling phase 2 of my hedge trimming project, I can finish the day with @jamesbeckerman :) @TheSquare

@DocASAP haha - didn't feel very casual... :)

@jamesbeckerman just a casual 20 miles? that's very impressive!

@tapgirl82 saving up for Seattle! http://t.co/DNPdsXVs

@jamesbeckerman did you support a runner of just decided not to run today. there is always next year. my bro did 1/2 marathon few yrs ago.

@YoniFreedhoff touche

@jamesbeckerman There's still time.

@Winlet28 thank you! Had a great time.

@jamesbeckerman great talk 2day Dr. Beck very inspirational!! Thx 4 answer q- just curious physicians assessment of pt body composition

@jamesbeckerman I wish I was running on Sunday, too. Instead, I'll be walking. And walking. And walking. Next year I will learn to run.

@jamesbeckerman It better be! Looking forward too.

@jamesbeckerman Just watch out for the language barrier. They say "eh" a lot. Canadian joke from a former North Dakotan

@Winlet28 awesome - looking forward to seeing u there!

@jamesbeckerman looking forward to your talk at oscvpr Saturday!!

@KentBottles done! Especially if there are cheesesteaks involved.

@KentBottles I had to Google that... :)

@jamesbeckerman If you come to philly I will take you there for dinner

@jamesbeckerman I walked for an hour today but it was in Mannayunk and not a park

@NCGatorMatt @doctorwes I agree.

@doctorwes In any case I believe screenings should be voluntary and families should be well informed. Thx for yr thoughtful posts as always

@doctorwes I think that it's ok that some docs disagree w guidelines - especially when individual chapters of AHA have sponsored screens

@doctorwes I cometely agree that we have to give families the full picture incl potential downsides, but...

@jamesbeckerman @doctorwes I do think the onus should be to specify that it’s outside the guidelines. Free screenings are different.

@YoniFreedhoff Touche sir. BTW I can't believe I'll be in Ottawa one week from today!!

@jamesbeckerman Can't wait. Gonna be fun.

@jamesbeckerman I think it would depend on how many adorable baby animals you ate.

@YoniFreedhoff are you talking about adorable baby animals or beta-blockers (see prior tweet)?

@drval Maybe they should be incorporated into electronic medical records...[sigh]

@jamesbeckerman And in diabetics over a decade they may be responsible for up to 20lbs of weight gain.

@ProyectoICLife @AthleteScreener right back at you!

@AthleteScreener @jamesbeckerman Thank you for your personal contribution to prevent Sudden Cardiac Arrest. It´s a problem for everybody.

@250joules I really like the idea of teaching CPR and AED use at these community screenings...

Thank you both for spreading heart health information. @proyectoiclife @jamesbeckerman

@jamesbeckerman She was 2 in April. This is my second AE girl. First, my kids were little. I also have a Labradoodle, also nice bigger dog.

@jamesbeckerman -2/2 here are the 5 pups 7wks. So cute! See what I mean by "home-bred". Joy in fur! Best of luck! http://t.co/wmIVToP7

@jamesbeckerman - this video is perfection. As a doc I thought you wd appreciate this. Bichon Frise birth. 1/2 http://t.co/w4rSIQOL

@RuthcareyRD how old is he/she?

@billyeichner sadly, one of my high school friends was a guest that day.

@jamesbeckerman this is for your kids. Everyone wants to take this dog home! Smart, fun, lap, run! http://t.co/NfcZD9JN

@PedsAssocNW @jamesbeckerman Labradoodles are mutts. Lovely pets if adopted from a shelter, but no respons. breeder breeds mutts.

@jamesbeckerman labradoodles are bred to be similar to bichons (no fur and good with kids) and they come in a variety of sizes.

@RuthcareyRD I may take you up on that :)

@jamesbeckerman I have a Mini American Eskimos, much less hyper than Bison's. You can borrow my little Ritz to try out with your kiddies!

@Talkmaster RT @jamesbeckerman Anyone know anything about bichon frise? I have two little kids who are asking...a lot.

@jamesbeckerman Go to the experts. http://t.co/IHd195Oi Choosing an excellent breeder is key!

@jamesbeckerman we were looking at them a while back. Non allergenic like poodles, similar breed I believe. Fine except wife prefers feline!

@RannPatterson awesome!

@jamesbeckerman They are yappy and not too smart. Get the boys a REAL dog.

@jamesbeckerman Here's another -kind of small,may b a puppy,shows how smart; were "circus" dogs in old Euro paintings http://t.co/CqxrsYsj

@jamesbeckerman pug!!!!!!

@jamesbeckerman Here is a perfect example from YouTube! Make sure you get one "home bred". Gr8 companions, worth it!! http://t.co/eUI0F9M1

@jamesbeckerman Yes-a little. White furballs of pure joy, agile, tricksters, background mix of Maltese/Poodle. Gr8 temperament. Won AKC2002

@MattFord27 thanks for RT!

@mizwrite :)

@jamesbeckerman yes not too bad, bit tired still. Totally out of the blue. Came off amiodarone a couple of months ago, might be linked...

@jamesbeckerman laying odds the 1st Chair Cello is a beautiful young maiden.. lol.

@AThomas75 hope you are doing okay.

@jamesbeckerman Thanks for the info! #KnowledgeIsPower

@JKDingeldein that's true - it's a somewhat nonspecific marker of inflammation.

@JKDingeldein depends on the lab, but generally high sensitivity CRP > 3 considered high risk, 1-3 average, and <1 lower risk.

@jamesbeckerman Thanks! Seems confusing - I've heard it can be skewed with an infection or fighting a virus #Life'sSimple7 #CheckNumbers

@jamesbeckerman What is a reasonable range for C-reactive Protein?

@StephStricklen http://t.co/Rx7qXEdI - thanks Steph! Grt to see u yesterday!

@jamesbeckerman it's how I learned. Had made several tries to learn prior.

@spexlady sounds like a great idea.

@1wackbird good call!

@jamesbeckerman @TheSquare @StephStricklen school vision screens don't address all vision issues. All kids need a complete exam b4 school.

@jamesbeckerman what's the website?! the running/fundraising one?

@jamesbeckerman check out the book "Juggling for the Complete Klutz" Great step by step breakdown.

@blazerrose @Superglrl haha.. no, we did not.. sometimes it just happens!! @jamesbeckerman

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman fun watching segment with Dr. B. can't wait. I like the temps. being in 70's. Just about right.

@TheSquare @StephStricklen @MadelinePotts @jamesbeckerman Sounds like we are all getting old. :D

@StephStricklen @MadelinePotts @jamesbeckerman I remember scoliosis. And hearing tests in school with the huge headphones. #80s

@MadelinePotts @jamesbeckerman @TheSquare what about scoliosis? we got screened for that too!!

@jamesbeckerman @TheSquare @StephStricklen I had vision screenings in grade school ... and that was the 80's! They don't do that anymore?

@jamesbeckerman crossing fingers it's just esoph spasms. At least now I can take nitro if needed & 'know' I'm not masking imminent death. ;)

@jamesbeckerman Went to ER last night-no MI(yay!), but your/Sohn's ofc is supposed to be contacting me Mon 4 flw up & prob nuc perf. I'm

@jamesbeckerman Coached my kids U5 through U13 classic! It is so much fun. Miss those days of the little buggers!

@StephStricklen see you Monday!

@jamesbeckerman have so much fun!!!!!!!!

@jamesbeckerman sure why nitro resolves symptoms. o_O You may be seeing me sometime soon. Thx.

@jamesbeckerman Yes but severe asthmatic @ home I can't leave alone for >12 hrs. Just tt a dr who doesn't think it's my heart but can't be

@PdxPacky You're perfect the way you are

@TLLemon I'd be happy to see you. Have you considered going to the ER?

@jamesbeckerman OK, I admit that I'm a little big. But, I don't drink soda or wear jeans. What's up with me?

@jamesbeckerman self-referring to you or Dr. Sohn. Don't know what to do....

@jamesbeckerman So...having chest pains, SOB, 3.5 days, ekg showed old MI, doc is out 2day, her ofc just hung up on me. Thinking of

@KimPainter but didn't confirm his 6% body fat claim... :)

@jamesbeckerman Exercise? Sleep? Stress? Food choices? Obesity is way more than sugar-sweetened drinks. And genetics.

@RayC_MD as a grown-up teenager, I couldn't agree more :)

@jamesbeckerman Thanks for the RT. As the father of a teenager, I though it was nice to see video games being used for good!

@PdxPipeline How about Springsteen?

@jamesbeckerman Me, either!

@LouHeartDoc true!

@subthreerunning @jamesbeckerman I just don’t know how critical to be on this. But wish my patients had this problem!

@jamesbeckerman @subthreerunning Perhaps- don’t know- but on Tanita scale my 18 y/o son (comp soccer) reads 4%- analytic problem with tech

@LouHeartDoc @jamesbeckerman Interesting point, although Ryan now has a record of exaggerating results, etc.

@LouHeartDoc @subthreerunning lying?

@subthreerunning @jamesbeckerman Do we know method used (I don’t)? E.g, using impedence can deliver falsely low results at low body fat %.

@jamesbeckerman Have you *seen* how thin Paul Ryan *looks*??? I would have to have two of him to replace me. #ImaBigBoy

@jamesbeckerman Exercise??? Isn't typing a tweet enough exercise??? hehe

@jamesbeckerman Then just imagine what PLAYING a superhero could do for you... @CityOfHeroes http://t.co/s9jxLdxl

@TheSquare mos def

@jamesbeckerman you win! That hike was no short but no joke.

@reggieaqui I had a seven year old on my shoulders. And that's not in dog years.

@jamesbeckerman yes! With my dog no less. It was an interesting journey. At one point had him in my arms.

@reggieaqui Cool! Did you climb the trees and brave the icy water to get to the waterfall? It was like a Dora the Explorer episode.

@jamesbeckerman I was there too!

@ScottFordTrvls very low risk fortunately. Stay hydrated, walk around, and keep flying! What's ur fave mileage card?

@StephStricklen @marielzagunis awesome!

@jamesbeckerman I'm a ff in planes on average 200,000 miles a year. Do I risk at my age of '33' my heart, if I develop a blood clot?

@newsjunkie60 check out the ViDA program at PPS - we r working with them to provide heart screenings!

@jamesbeckerman That's so awesome!!! I wish there was a program like that at David Douglas School DIstrict.

@KXLNews goes in-depth w/@jamesbeckerman about teen athletes & sudden cardiac arrest. http://t.co/AEwb7JqG http://t.co/LAAbm1Us

@jamesbeckerman How about the two of us work together to put a proposal statewide for better health screenings from Pre-K to University age

@jamesbeckerman Don't know why PPS, DDSD etc don't screen kids better for life threatening health issues. Could go a long way

@jamesbeckerman You are AAPL's most desirable customer! ;)

@BMW the fact that it's new? :)

@jamesbeckerman I say wait. What feature would you want most?

@BMW 4s?

@BMW worth the upgrade, or will IO6 be enough?

@pdxpeacock that's my next series. have heard it's awesome...

@jamesbeckerman it's not everyone's cup of tea, but i have thoroughly enjoyed it. been watching 2 eps at a time after work on #netflix.

@jamesbeckerman I'd like to see that study. How much fish oil? What source? Any lifestyle changes? blah blah blah.

@pdxpeacock Oh, you missedan awesome #DocBox with @jamesbeckerman. Talked about sports and health issues with kidlets.

@newsjunkie60 didn't see the #docbox, but @jamesbeckerman is definitely the expert on that.

@pdxpeacock @StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman: Wow, Joe, that news piece about the boy that had his heart stop tied into @TheSquare's #DocBox

@jamesbeckerman I was the one in 8th grade to get a basketball right in the nose, not broken just bloody. :P

@jamesbeckerman looking sharp on Live at 7 Great informational segment. Only contact sports did, PE. played mostly hoops, ran track H.S.

@athletesheart I agree one of the challenges are that exact #s hard to come by

@jamesbeckerman RT @foxnewshealth: Pennsylvania law.... http://t.co/L3bbCVZg Story: 7000 deaths annually. Got asked today about credibility.

@jamesbeckerman puberty in both can be lead to the onset of epileptic seizures, in those prone to it. #happenedtome

@jamesbeckerman Would love to get together some time, when you are not *ahem* busy, with patients, fam, etc

@newsjunkie60 couldn't agree more.

@newsjunkie60 most definitely - thanks for watching!!

@StephStricklen aaaauuuugggghhhh

@StephStricklen clarifying...YOUR make-up!

@tapgirl82 watch @TheSquare tonight!

@jamesbeckerman I know you are a cardio, but head injuries during sports and also heart issues are a real scary thing for kids/parents

@jamesbeckerman :E)

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman: Please, please, please talk about head injuries & undiagnosed heart issues. Oh, & epilepsy due to head injs

@jamesbeckerman you don't need a nose job or anything!

@jamesbeckerman no. yours! kidding. you're flawless.

@DirectorCarey @TheSquare @jamesbeckerman Football? What's a football? ;-)

@jamesbeckerman @haven't seen a tweet from you in awhile. hot weather coming this week. :) enjoy rest of summer. did you go on vacation?

@exerciseworks @jamesbeckerman and make the #NHS responsible for everyone who doesn't exercise as well? Ppl will just wan a pill to fix it!

@Ryding2Health @jamesbeckerman Yeeeeees!! #NCDs are an epidemic: http://t.co/tSKZVo88 People need quality #NHS exercise advice and support!!

@jenrana Thanks for RT!

@newsjunkie60 that makes sense.

@jamesbeckerman I do what I can, but that doesn't help. My belly is the thing that needs to change. My arms are fine...lol

@jamesbeckerman paralyzed people have issues with "lack of exercise". There is not that many places we can go to get exercise, outside pt/ot

@MedHelpPulse @jamesbeckerman @InnerHealthy @elizabethrider @tferriss @Go_Kaleo @TidyMom @tiwyf @SlowFoodUSA #gratitude for #ff lovee

@jamesbeckerman If you are over 10, aren't you considered "middle aged"??? lol

@reggieaqui have fun!

@YoniFreedhoff @jamesbeckerman I'm not going to dispute that.

@stephstricklen Have fun at the tweet-up!

@YoniFreedhoff @subthreerunning mos def

@subthreerunning @YoniFreedhoff I'm fascinated by this Ryan marathon thing and the responses to it - grt article in Atlantic too.

@MattFord27 Thanks man - I appreciate it.

@jamesbeckerman @subthreerunning It is nuts. No one forgets their PR, especially a marathon PR. Speaks to the man. And not well.

@jamesbeckerman Great piece. Thanks for sharing it.

@jamesbeckerman No doubt about that. I especially loved the equation F+A=R. I can apply that to all aspects of life including parenting!

@I_am_orange either!

@jamesbeckerman "or".

@jamesbeckerman Would I see a cardiologist of GP for a "cardiovascular risk assessment" http://t.co/vH1gJZQA

@MattFord27 Thanks Matt - I had a great time - nothing like preaching to the choir!

@jamesbeckerman @hearthub Congratulations! Wellness often begins at work. And for employers, that means lower costs and happier employees.

@gretchenrubin Congratulations! On both...

@danavollmer thought you might like this... http://t.co/Rx7qXEdI - hope all is well!

@tracybarrynews I'm still working on that with mine :)

@jamesbeckerman I'm reading your book right now

@tracybarrynews so cute.

@jamesbeckerman sadly my spell to freeze them in time failed 😊

@jamesbeckerman Waiting for universal scrreening my friend

@dlschermd yes! I think we may even go more old school than that!

@jamesbeckerman http://t.co/eRDgfqzs

@jamesbeckerman Make sure he learns the classics like Hendrix.

@siyafkhan You may experience a reduction over a few months, but I wouldn't be surprised if medication was recommended by your doctor.

@jamesbeckerman @siyafkhan thank you sir. now i am taking a tablet namely "LIPANTHYL 145- finofibrate" as per my doctor's suggestion..

@jamesbeckerman hi sir,am @ 23 age. my triglycerides level is 800mg/dl. if i do diet and exercise, how long it will take to become lower ?

@PRA_Lisa mos def!

@daniel_kraft beautiful - where is that?

@jamesbeckerman You might want to tag along with @joebkgw next Friday nite, so he has a medical professional around if he has a heart attack

@hypenoticbam :)

@newsjunkie60 @stephstricklen @thesquare thanks Mark! Great to be back.

@SeriousJuggling I'm doing better with my 1000 miles running resolution - help!!!

@newsjunkie60 @stephstricklen thanks so much! Here we go...!

@StephStricklen Awesome show, Steph... Kudos to all @TheSquare and @jamesbeckerman. Was fun

@jamesbeckerman You can always joggle. Seriously it's a sport! Can you do 2 in right hand, then 2 in left SLIGHTLY relaxed yet? Next synched

@jnet64 you know you can follow him.. @jamesbeckerman! as nice as can be!!!

@JamesBeckerman can you juggle four balls yet? #portland #juggling #doctors #resolutions

@StephStricklen *squee*!! @jamesbeckerman

@jamesbeckerman moderation when it comes to soda is not a bad thing. But, an IV drip might show signs of addiction;-D

@jamesbeckerman What an accomplishment, #Congrats !

@YoniFreedhoff thanks man - such a fun day

@DocAsap Mount St. Helens!

@jamesbeckerman #amazing ! Where is that !?

@jamesbeckerman Thanks! Me too. Love practical talks that will help more than just 2 of my patients!

@jamesbeckerman Very true, it's a growing concern. A big part of the #fear is Second Impact Syndrome which can be helped with impact sensors

@DrGhaheri cool

@LeslieBattenND agree.

@sumittickoo I don't!

@jamesbeckerman They are coached to NOT have helmet-to-helmet contact. But when they're on the field and testosterone surges? ugh.

@JanetDernbach haha I promise I'll be careful!

@jamesbeckerman Be careful!! Remember, we want to see you Live@7, not Missing@6. Have a great time!

@jamesbeckerman http://t.co/zwwpWILx would love to have you as a guest Expert Blogger for tips re women's <3 health, in wake of Rosie O news

@jamesbeckerman Thank you for providing this valuable service to youth in your community!

@jamesbeckerman Yeah, she could have used your skills.

@newsjunkie60 I was sad to hear about that.

@jamesbeckerman Did you read about Rosie O'Donnell having to have a stent put in due to a heart attack. She was *not too bright* & delayed

@HowardCohen absolutely - we have a similar program here in Portland. More awareness will hopefully -> more funding

@jamesbeckerman @SavingYoungHear @miamichildrens Thanks James. Hope the article continues to get attention on SCD. #health

@SavingYoungHear @howardcohen @miamichildrens great article on SCD screening http://t.co/wc3zrs1L http://t.co/R1lSC6K3

@DrGhaheri if only

@AnnJFilippis right back at you!

@jamesbeckerman I wish you nothing more than BP refills and scattered ectopy

@jamesbeckerman glad to find your tweets, being in the health/fitness game for 30 yrs I'm overloaded on nutrition information.Need direction

@athletesheart @jamesbeckerman @sweatscience @sciencebasedmed I would posit that #freerangeeggs would b even more beneficial w EFAs etc

@subthreerunning Enjoy - stay cool.

@jamesbeckerman I plan to enjoy - and while I'm always cool, man, I'll try my best not to overheat. lol Thanks, James.

@jamesbeckerman @sweatscience @ScienceBasedMed Wow, thanks so much for reposting this. So important for people to understand.

@jamesbeckerman @drdavidkatz there's a cigarette ad campaign in Indonesia starting a British footballer...nice

@jamesbeckerman LOL!! My early morning runs in 65 degree weather have been rough. I cannot imagine running in *this*!

@jamesbeckerman Yeah! Mike is famous now ;)

@danavollmer have fun! my brother has been a writer there for twenty years!

@StephStricklen bumped! :)

@jamesbeckerman Welcome back, btw. Hopefully minus sand fleas.

@jamesbeckerman Thought you were quiet the last couple of weeks! Was hoping we didn't insult you by not doing #DocBox for a bit! :)

@jamesbeckerman balls!!!!!!! okay. til then!!!!!!

@jamesbeckerman http://t.co/LDWN4lMm

@jamesbeckerman i know. thank you...... when did they move it to?

@jamesbeckerman a vacation from the vacation. 2 days at home to rest.... (i wish!)

@jamesbeckerman Nothing good can come from #huffpost... lol

@jamesbeckerman Thanks. Excellent way to tackle jet leg. Where were you returning from?

@subthreerunning nice! I went 16. A good cure for jet lag...

@ProducerBenKGW he will be. @jamesbeckerman prettey much rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@jamesbeckerman Thanks, I'm so exciting, but the lead times are so long for books the waiting might well drive me nuts!

@NSordell @jamesbeckerman @Teetosugars @TaLoKend @RealTimWilkins @tedzokas Thanks all xx

@jamesbeckerman Are you guys in London??

@DrGhaheri NBC Olympics iPhone app? Don't know if you have to be a cable subscriber to see everything though...

@jamesbeckerman sweet thx

@clearJB @LeslieBattenND my junior high school nickname

@Julia_B Congratulations! It's an awesome experience.

@mitchTurpen Flex Gone Wild!

@clearJB as @lesliebattenND says, sort of looks like my Middle Earth counterpart...

@jamesbeckerman @lesliebattenND Bilbo Beckerman? Has a ring to it!

@jamesbeckerman That explains how you're able to get as much done as you do - there's two of you. But too much #flexdiet for the little guy?

@YoniFreedhoff I always make a point of traveling with one - btw - I checked out the TT site - it looks awesome!

@JillS1228 bizarre and true

@LeslieBattenND haha

@jamesbeckerman You're much taller than you look on...cardboard :)

@jamesbeckerman Thanks! Excited. Will be doing reveal next week to everyone who might be listening here.

@jamesbeckerman Bring that with when you come to Ottawa....we can use it if you have a rough night.

@jamesbeckerman Mini me?

@jamesbeckerman You're a hobbit!

@reggieaqui ha ha

@jamesbeckerman are you excited to be speaking at OMCMG's annual summer mixer? #theteachablemoment

@jamesbeckerman I know, I know, cry me a river ("you can go on and just...")

@reggieaqui Boo hoo...

@DirectorCarey :)

@jamesbeckerman I grew up in the 1980s in NJ as a HUGE @bonjovi fan. Remember, the stylists made the hair about 9x larger!

@jamesbeckerman @BonJovi awesome :)

@StephStricklen yes! we talked about that in the #docbox many moons ago... :)

@jamesbeckerman i know!!!! i remember. but i love that these researchers used *hamsters. it's like first grade!

@PiWareFilmmaker Espana 1994?

@JillS1228 now you're talking! I have a feeling she's gonna be pretty busy over the next couple of months :)

@jamesbeckerman Wonder if we could get Mariel Zagunis to St. V for pictures and autographs as fundraiser for Play Smart?

@simonsfund the key seems to be recommending defibrillators appropriately as well

@PDXDaily can't hurt to discuss.

@jamesbeckerman we have an appt next week, should I request?

@PDXDaily with any symptoms I recommend seeing a pediatrician first.

Sounds about right. RT @ivanoransky Half of heart patients don't stick to their meds http://t.co/lh5WNTb6

@SSharmacardio Sounds incredible - enjoy every bit.

@jamesbeckerman Be sure and test it before you go on the road - the permissions and access procedures are very temperamental.

@jamesbeckerman my 8 y/o son had chest pains after football conditioning yesterday... When do you request an EKG just to be safe?

@danavollmer thought you'd like that...have an amazing experience in London!!

@LauralPorter so sad...

Mayo Clinic challenges sports guidelines for long QT syndrome patients http://t.co/K93NDthP @jamesbeckerman @GoRedForWomen #fb

@jamesbeckerman You are very welcome, James. Loved the info;-)

@subthreerunning let me rephrase...that would be a phenomenal time for me :)

@jamesbeckerman You might surprise yourself one day. Keep up all your good work and enjoy your evening.

@jamesbeckerman Ha ha. Wouldn't go quite that far, but we were booking it. Some hilly too. Lots of fun with a good group

@subthreerunning wow - that's phenomenal.

@DrGhaheri i can tell you're enjoying this...

@scuttlefield @stephstricklen ha

@jamesbeckerman You rocked tonite's #DocBox. Great info.

@belgort @stephstricklen thanks Bruce!

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman Dynamic duo educates again! We appreciate info, warnings. People: reg on http://t.co/5bCtvj3H tho limits #s

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman Nothing like a good segment on bloody diarrhea! :)

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman Great segment Steph and James. Thanks for the great info.

@DirectorCarey @thesquare Pretty psyched about the #DocBox hashtag. Well played.

@I_am_orange Research in cardiac arrest is full of potential ethical issues, but ultimately can (hopefully) help a lot of people.

@jamesbeckerman Any comment http://t.co/gYXPI3KM

@stephstricklen Thx for the RT. Sounds like a fun show tonight with @jamesbeckerman !

@athletesheart @slowtwitch Great post and threads - what a supportive community.

@bjfogg V interesting - do you have a source? Thanks!

@CaulfieldTim @YoniFreedhoff great article

@LindaP_MD thanks Linda!

@jamesbeckerman Hope you have a smooth call!

@SeattleMamaDoc !

@KK_SKORA I think that would rev me up too much! The green tea, not the gummy bears... :)

@jamesbeckerman I did green tea to thirst with gummy bears and dried cherries for my 50 miler a few weeks ago. Worked like a charm.

@lcreswell I am trying honey w/water on the bike after 60 min RT @jamesbeckerman: Some Athletes Reject High-Tech Sports Fuel In Favor Of ..

@jamesbeckerman @athletesheart When running long distances, I drink water & sip on Gatorade/Powerade at aid stations only. Works better.

@jamesbeckerman @kevinmd Thanks for mentioning my surfing blog with the RT!

@jamesbeckerman It's just after a seizure, my electrolytes are all messed up. So, I have a 50/50 mix of gatorade/7up and a small pb sandwich

@jamesbeckerman I understand your point, too.

@newsjunkie60 I guess it does depend on your individual situation...!

@jamesbeckerman Gatorade and 7up for me, to help with recovering from seizures. Haven't had one in a decade though, I still keep it around

@jamesbeckerman http://t.co/hRHL9qjB

@jamesbeckerman gracias! I'll keep you updated

@SarcasmOsito Suerte!

@jamesbeckerman G'mornin' James;-)

@jamesbeckerman A *new* form of discrimination and intrusion into a person's life. #measurethewaist

@jamesbeckerman @YoniFreedhoff So much easier than exercising regularly and eating good food. : p

@Lifescript that's awesome!

@jamesbeckerman http://t.co/RZ4zKaO1

@jamesbeckerman Actor @gomarkkelly is a local, went to school here, and his dad is an ER physician at Salem Hospital.

@I_am_orange @gomarkkelly that looks amazing.

@jamesbeckerman enjoy it!

@jamesbeckerman Will you have a Do-Deca Pentathalon https://t.co/WdVUCS6K @gomarkkelly

@jbellink my pleasure! You may hit up @albertohmd and @jamesbeckerman. They're pretty awesome.

@YoniFreedhoff !

@athletesheart @jamesbeckerman Thanks!

@jamesbeckerman interesting bike, pumping blood as you are....pumping your hear muscles. I could see you ride a motorcycle. :)

@jamesbeckerman ;-)

@jamesbeckerman You are very welcome;-)

@ephanypdx @stephstricklen @pdxj thanks!!

@newsjunkie60 thanks Mark! Me too!

@newsjunkie60 @StephStricklen @producerziggy @jamesbeckerman Thanks!

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman, @pdxj is confirming there might be some medical merit to these shenanigans of yours…

@StephStricklen @producerziggy @DirectorCarey @jamesbeckerman: Great show folks!!!

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman I was really wanting to see the story in 4D, tho :-)

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman Oh man, I leave y'all alone for a few days…

@jamesbeckerman Very great info, James!!! As I age, I gotta watch myself.

@tracybarrynews @directorcarey @thesquare aw shucks!

@DirectorCarey Cool,only 15 minutes for @TheSquare to start with @StephStricklen and @jamesbeckerman... #Bestillmybeatingheart.

@tracybarrynews @jamesbeckerman @TheSquare EXACTLY! We only book the experts! :)

@DirectorCarey @jamesbeckerman @TheSquare he's so cool he would know!

@jamesbeckerman Thank you! I appreciate the support. Doing our parts to make the world a healthier place :)

@jamesbeckerman Here's another story about a young athlete with a heart issue. http://t.co/EMCDZvjt Thank you for Play Smart!

@TheSquare Guess I'll have to change my outfit for tonight's segment...

@JillS1228 my pleasure! Happy to anytime.

@jamesbeckerman Thanks for speaking to our group today!

@skinnyjeans Congrats!

@SeattleMamaDoc Looks like an awesome conference.

@PhxHeartBall RT @jamesbeckerman GREAT 1 minute refresher on hands-only CPR. Feels like a video game: http://t.co/s4ppjvqK

@MDPartner definitely!

@jamesbeckerman @nytimes Agree! Bottom line, boring (but sane) message: Eat Less, Move More. Weight loss about calories in/calories out.

@jamesbeckerman CPR video clip is an excellent reminder for us all that anybody can save a life if you know what to do!

@HarvardHSPH Well done! Thank you for a well referenced paper. @jamesbeckerman @Atul_Gawande

@reggieaqui same camp where Meatballs was filmed!

@reggieaqui camp counselor, mullet-wearer

@jamesbeckerman I can totally see you as a camp counselor. Camp Igottalottahair?

@YoniFreedhoff @cardiobrief @nyshepa @nutritionistard Curious what @ACCinTouch thinks!

@RuthcareyRD awesome!

@LeslieBattenND @AlbertOhMD Yes! And about a million other Portlanders!

@jamesbeckerman It is cool. Of course, humans a wee bit more complicated than mice. Plus, not as much Big Food marketing aimed at rodents.

@jamesbeckerman @skorarunning that's awesome, I'm saving up for a pair(maybe two!)

@AmautaPDX Almost - was wearing my @skoraRunning kicks!

@CaulfieldTim That is awesome. Interesting that whey protein supplements don't work better as appetite suppressants.

@jamesbeckerman Was at Manzanita for the fourth...great weather and good 35 mile bike ride in the countryside!

@jamesbeckerman Are you there with @AlbertOhMD?

@jamesbeckerman did you go barefoot like the opening scene in Chariots of Fire? ;)

@jamesbeckerman Come on, the world is flat, sky is the limit.

@xiaoyanhuangmd I thought you were joking... :)

@jamesbeckerman I can help you set up an account. The same number of characters in Chinese will allow much more info. Higher impact.

@xiaoyanhuangmd It's next on my list!

Thx 4 RT@aicrtweets @jamesbeckerman @Leslie_A_Lewis @RBAClinic @juliaoftoronto @KathHarris1 @picardonhealth @g2comm @littlefluffycat

@jamesbeckerman Abbreviated #echocardiogram for screening #youth athletes - no false positives in initial screening http://t.co/s6dARYF8

@jamesbeckerman Yes! It's all good here, aside from it being obscenely hot this week!

@aweiss yessir! Thought about you on the drive from Minneapolis - all good?

@theamyoshow just finished! 90ish - that's both temp and humidity

@jamesbeckerman God love ya! Yep--91 here in Ames & "feels like" 95!

@jamesbeckerman Welcome to the cornfields! You up in Okoboji this week?

@jamesbeckerman I hope it's at like 4 in the AM! It's steamy here in Iowa!! Enjoy!! Happy 4th!!

@ElinSilveous Duck!

@lvandriest Found that out the hard way...

@jamesbeckerman Ducks are tons off fun to watch. But, #GoBucks :)

@I_am_orange really interesting stuff

@jamesbeckerman Thanks for the follow. Beaver, or Duck fan?

Watch out for the husks. They'll cut you. @jamesbeckerman

@KentBottles great post and great comments!

@jamesbeckerman "achey breaky heart"

@jamesbeckerman "quit playing games with my heart"

@newsjunkie60 @LeslieBattenND good tries! "Knock Knock Knocking on Heaven's Door"...!

@jamesbeckerman Stayin alive

@jamesbeckerman Oh, too funny!!!

@jamesbeckerman "My Heart Will Go On"?

@jamesbeckerman "I've fallen and can't get up", "heartbeatsoundthenflatlinesound", "Ah one and ah two" (Lawrence Welk)

@LeslieBattenND awesome!

@jamesbeckerman Precisely why I volunteered to help feed the local varsity football team last year. They'll eat healthy when it's provided.

@SSharmacardio Wish i could attend! http://t.co/x8rH29HY

@EricaHeartquist ha - nice seeing you at game last week!

@jamesbeckerman I know, good seeing you, too... WHAT a great game! Go Timbers!

@SeattleMamaDoc Time Magazine

@DrDave01 Congratulations!

@TimbersFC needs to RT this: Why Being an Obsessed Soccer Fan Can Make You Really, Really Happy http://t.co/s6QUDSzu #RCTID

@JanetDernbach Not personally, but she seems nice on Twitter!

@jamesbeckerman Do you know Leslie Batten? Is she a good doctor? I need an ND and good ones are hard to find.

Thanks! @LeslieBattenND Have a great weekend!

@chrisguillebeau Were you at Bunk Bar tonight? Saw a guy who looked just like you.

@YoniFreedhoff I think @MatthhewModine wore one of those in Vision Quest.

@jamesbeckerman Do you honestly think the Senate will convict "one of their own". Dems are in charge of Senate. Dems won't convict. #cowards

@jamesbeckerman in fact I do!

@reggieaqui you'll love it

@WebMD @jamesbeckerman Hmmm, ban #soda or #guns ?

@jamesbeckerman I'm gonna pass the word along because I'm not a kid any more but have heart issues in my gene pool. Thanx!!!

@newsjunkie60 http://t.co/CnDQ1qio - let me know if you have any questions.

@RuthcareyRD the power of speakerphones...

@jamesbeckerman Where can someone find out more about #Playsmart???

@jamesbeckerman ok ok I feel bad now!

@jamesbeckerman I thought you were just in Beaverton?

@jamesbeckerman You are welcome. What a great program.

@athletesheart except it was by speaker phone :)

@jamesbeckerman Awesome assignment!

@dtrimberger thanks man. i'd love to talk to you about ways to get it started up there.

@jamesbeckerman Need your help to get this started in Longview

@jamesbeckerman Good stuff on this on the news while I was working in ED last noc. To pt "hey I know that guy turn it up"

@DrSharma @travissaunders exactly. The definition of de-volution...

@DrSharma @jamesbeckerman I was wondering if it was in that context (in which case I agree).

@drsharma @jamesbeckerman @TravisSaunders AMEN!

@jamesbeckerman @TravisSaunders The point is that obesity is the result of 'normal' behaviour in an 'abnormal' environment

@TravisSaunders @DrSharma maybe there's a distinction between 'normal' and 'adaptive'

@RITTERSP indeed

@WazzuOly I can't imagine...

@WazzuOly yep! I was in Olympia just a few weeks ago...!

@jamesbeckerman A former colleague of mine is now an Editor at the Colo Springs Gazette. Says he hasn't slept much this week. Yikes.

@TimWilliamsPDX @LauraRillos @ShaunaParsons @WayneGarciaKPTV Thanks so much for spreading the word about #playsmart! http://t.co/Wp7cQIKr

@jamesbeckerman Mine is collecting dust

@DrGhaheri We are all happily married, thank you very much, and NOT to each other. ;) @WayneGarciaKPTV @jamesbeckerman @StephStricklen

@waynegarciakptv I hope there's a bizarre love triangle: @jamesbeckerman @ShaunaParsons and @StephStricklen. This could get ugly.

@DrGhaheri @ShaunaParsons @jamesbeckerman At risk of embarrassing him not me I'll keep quiet.

@ShaunaParsons @jamesbeckerman how dare you

@WayneGarciaKPTV @ShaunaParsons @jamesbeckerman isn't he dreamy?!?! #wait #what

Wooo hoo.. the doc making an appearance tonight. @ShaunaParsons @jamesbeckerman

@samanthaettus @forbeswoman Sam, thanks for bucking the bandwagon on this - really, really good.

@CaulfieldTim @lydianeufeldcbc definitely

@jamesbeckerman @LydiaNeufeldCBC It IS a McMess. Sport drinks and goofy hi-calorie "meal replacement"gimmicks only marginally better. Agree?

@madebyfinch @StephStricklen Agreed - it's a staple at our house.

@StephStricklen Thanks Steph!

What a McMess. http://t.co/0mRV14Gc via @CaulfieldTim

@StephStricklen 21! that's off the hook.

@StephStricklen had that this morning too, minus the neighbor's chickens and the berries

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman DKB is awesome. Love their light bread. They don't add artif. ingredients, but make slices smaller. Genius.

@jamesbeckerman have a great clinic today!!

@jamesbeckerman I didn't even know there were 21 edible grains.

@jamesbeckerman (it helps that I'm home most of the day.. if my sched was different... toast for everyone!!)

@jamesbeckerman toast is good! and that bread is my FAVORITE! i do the 21 grain.

@danavollmer congratulations! #London2012

@jamesbeckerman nice vantage point, even got to see you on ESPN ;-)

@WayneGarciaKPTV see you there!

@HavrellyKGW @jamesbeckerman Gotta love living on the west side of the Cascades!! #pdx

@SWCVA Thanks Alisa!

@jamesbeckerman $3B spent on peds HT admissions in 3 yrs. 30% have vascular damage, hpty - glad you're screening!

@jamesbeckerman @YoniFreedhoff @bodybreak Not a great message at all!

@BVMRD @YoniFreedhoff @bodybreak The president of the ACC is also carrying the Coca-Cola torch. Not a great message.

@jamesbeckerman @BVMRD @bodybreak Blogged on Coke Red being color of the Olympics once (a bit conspiratorial perhaps) http://t.co/XiH8ksBL

@YoniFreedhoff @jamesbeckerman @bodybreak Also w/ Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. And why I am no longer a member. http://t.co/WDXeJu15

@YoniFreedhoff @bodybreak salty too.

@YoniFreedhoff @bodybreak sweet.

@YoniFreedhoff @bodybreak Lots of interesting 'partnerships' with American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology too

@jamesbeckerman @bodybreak And our Heart and Stroke Foundation who rumor has it is partnering with McDonald's in name of childhood obesity

@jamesbeckerman Are We Doing Enough To Prevent #HeartDisease? New Infographic & Poll http://t.co/RlQ2DYrB

@tracy3555 ha ha - maybe if you're in New York...

@jamesbeckerman I don't know about that. I don't think I can get put in JAIL if I skip exercise or eat a snickers bar

@ShelleyWood2 :) enjoy!

@theheartorg Exactly! I linked to your article in my prior tweet - loved it then and now.

@jamesbeckerman I missed that! Thanks so much. I'm now going to drink some TAP WATER and get out on my bike.

@jamesbeckerman Hey, I once asked this exact "giving back" question of Coke. http://t.co/UMcnYtTz

@jamesbeckerman Could Coke get rid of the salt in their products (Dasani, for example) and still compete? Salt makes you thirsty , buy more

@newsjunkie60 Lots of people agree with you.

@jamesbeckerman Thanx for understanding my rant. I get a bit frustrated with the gov't telling me, an adult, what I can and can not have.

@jamesbeckerman The gov't thinks cookie cutter solution. One size fits all. That's irresponsible of them.

@jamesbeckerman I'm not saying that I don't listen to what is said. Yet, the gov't doesn't have a clue as to what the individuals needs.

@jamesbeckerman Also, what I'm saying is that each of us have different dietary needs. I'm paralyzed & use more upper body. Needs differ

@jamesbeckerman RE: Food & drink: The gov't should only have an opion as to safety. Telling us what we can and can not eat/drink overreachs

@newsjunkie60 You lost me there. But all opinions appreciated :)

@jamesbeckerman You don't treat a diabetic with anti-convulsants. Nor do you treat someone with hydrocephalus with a sugar pill.

@jamesbeckerman Gov't intrusion into the private lives of it's citizenry is outrageous. We are not all cookie cutter material. #fedup

@DrJenGunter @andersoncooper @kathygriffin mine eat them too. bizarre, yes, but will not tell them that.

@KreinMD interesting, yet not much in the way of alternatives. In the end, it will require many different approaches with no magic bullet...

@bmossop yep

@jamesbeckerman stress, city living come to mind

@jamesbeckerman no doubt. i haven't read the study yet, just wanted to throw it out there for discussion.

@bmossop I suspect that there were other confounders associated with exposure to residential traffic noise - what do you think?

@SeattleMamaDoc really, really great.

@jamesbeckerman Are we doing enough to prevent #HeartDisease? Please share your comments for upcoming Infographic on http://t.co/8c6jlN6i

@DirectorCarey @thesquare I'll think of something :)

@jamesbeckerman @thesquare Thanks. Makes dinner more exciting, you know!

@hjluks @drwalker_rph true! Pretty amazing that marinades can reduce HCA/PAH by 90%, even after just 30m. I know way too much about BBQ...

@drwalker_rph @jamesbeckerman sounds like a great IRL plan!!

I'm waiting for an invitation so you guys can impress me with your BBQ knowledge even more... @jamesbeckerman @hjluks

@jamesbeckerman @drwalker_rph the more, the better :-) ! BBQ away my friend....

@jamesbeckerman @drwalker_rph ahhh ... but if you baste the meat in beer or wine... u will knock out those carcinogens :-) eat away!

@jamesbeckerman thx James ... agree with you

@hjluks great post! challenge will come when excellent content is drowned in the noise. but by then there will hopefully be new solutions...

@drwalker_rph I wonder if the open flames also increase risk of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons crisping up your BBQ http://t.co/e8cnu8gZ

@jamesbeckerman possibly... but you need some of that action to get the BBQ flavor going good ;-)

@DrDavidKatz Loved your talk in New York a few weeks ago - especially the part about putting a 'face' on public health.

@thatbilloakley very psyched about that

@MedDeviceMark @brian_buntz excellent point...!

@brian_buntz @jamesbeckerman World's economy would sink by a lot more than 20% if the planet had the same outlook on debt as Greece

@RuthcareyRD Thanks Ruth! Hope to see you soon at a Timbers game!

@jamesbeckerman @StephStricklen Was impressed you could say those big words long for HCA and PAH! Good segment. Need to marinate more!

@TTHDragons thanks so much!

@jamesbeckerman @StephStricklen @TheSquare Now we know BBQ = other fun letter combos, I'll live on the edge w/leftover BBQ shrimp & veggies.

@TTHDragons @jamesbeckerman agreed!!! go marinades!!

@newsjunkie60 haha

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman Always great to hear Dr.Beckerman explain health-related news & appreciate tips re: grilling (with initials)

@jamesbeckerman Women don't have prostates, James. lol

@jamesbeckerman I will be buried with bacon and grilled chicken, grilled burgers, grilled london broil, oh and grill cheese sandwiches.

@jamesbeckerman Gotta raz ya James.

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman When James talks food, I filter the message. Meat is good, Bacon is yummy, Beer is for drinking, wine is ok

@StephStricklen it's not the BBQ but the PAH and the HCA I'm worried about - more on that in a few minutes http://t.co/b2OIwhdi

@StephStricklen after tonight's segment, the fourth will be barbecuing...

@musicscott @directorcarey exactly :)

@Galumbits @jamesbeckerman naw.. it scares him and it's not worth it for me to put him through the fear of me killing myself in a skydive.

@jamesbeckerman AHAHAHA. don't mess with my bbq.

@StephStricklen @jamesbeckerman Was that something you were pondering doing? Are you pondering it MORE now that he's said please, no?

@DirectorCarey @jamesbeckerman I've always thought that being barbequed would generally be bad for my health :-)

@jamesbeckerman Really, *really* good food is medicine!!!

@JillS1228 Thank you so much Jill. Proud to have the support of @ProvHealth to provide this free service to our community!

@jamesbeckerman Congratulations! So happy to see your program up and running.

@jamesbeckerman what about the time it takes to cook, and clean up afterwards? Lose out on valuable TV watching time...

@jamesbeckerman I learned not to give vit D3 without vit A and K, and calcium should come from food (or, paired with magnesium).

@YoniFreedhoff just saw it - hilarious

@elisazied hopefully safety/efficacy studies are in the pipeline!

@EnduranceAgency so true

@YoniFreedhoff Looking forward to it :)

@YoniFreedhoff I enjoy them every day!

@jamesbeckerman Aw shucks Jamie...but this one's related to the interview you just tweeted.

@jamesbeckerman Seriously. As physicians, we'll never be out of a job.

@jamesbeckerman You'll enjoy my post tomorrow.

@sterthomas Aaaaoooooo!

@jamesbeckerman So glad you could make it ... hopefully we can do again. Have the boys thinking Great Wolf!

@sterthomas I had a great time - thanks again for inviting me!

@ErinShwatty @jamesbeckerman They all loved it!!! http://t.co/MIck5kdO

@jamesbeckerman thanks so much for a great event yesterday! http://t.co/JFgoxkDm

@ErinShwatty Centralia was a blast! Great crowd, fun place to do it. Fun week!

@jamesbeckerman especially when given by Dr. B! I hope the Centralia talk went well.

@saphyreplatypus could be. could be.

@roohound thank you so much! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help!

@jamesbeckerman very sad, and it almost seems like he may have had a chance had communication been better.

@jamesbeckerman Just finished your book and putting it into practice starting Today :). No nonsense but not intimidating - love it!!

@SeattleMamaDoc Last weekend off training wheels for us too! It's in the air. I had the same thought - probably one of his first memories.

@DrGhaheri randomization, poorly defined diets (? Kcal, amt of carbs) small # pts etc.

@DrGhaheri it looks like not a great study with unsurprising conclusions - diabetics respond better to lower carb diets.

@jamesbeckerman k thx. Trying to wade through some papers.

@jamesbeckerman besides no numbers, other specfic critiques?

@DrGhaheri @drelena @jamesbeckerman And isn't at all Mediterranean. Idiots.

@DrGhaheri @drelena @jamesbeckerman I'll weigh in...the Mediterranean-like diet is stupid and unhealthy and what we tell our pts not to eat.

@DrElena @jamesbeckerman wanna look at this study and gimme your thoughts? http://t.co/vxrUfGLA

@jamesbeckerman Kind of creepy, isn't it? Something's weird with his eyes...

@jamesbeckerman That's just messed up. #MrRogers. Saw that this morning and shook my head at it.

@jamesbeckerman Hear ya! So painful.

@jamesbeckerman I can do the work!! I've just *got to stick with it. the usual drill. :)

@StephStricklen you rock!

@YoniFreedhoff I struggle with this daily...

@jamesbeckerman i don't trust IL-2. lol

@drjohnm Nice summary. Turns out that exercise is medicine after all...!

@ShaunaParsons you bet!

@jamesbeckerman will do!

@SSharmacardio Absolutely. I'm curious to learn more!

@jamesbeckerman Ooh, I like that. Good info, too. Thanks for sharing.

@GlassHospital Great article! http://t.co/QqSn7mKE And say hi to S-A for me!

@jamesbeckerman Amazing what they can do but need good cardiac care to ensure they are safe practicing such gruelling exercise I say.

@jamesbeckerman @sweatscience Precisely.
