Meet Dr. Paula Dygert, MD
Dr. Paula Dygert spent her early years as a physician working with her father in a small-town practice. They knew their patients well and could tailor the care to each patient’s needs. After moving to the West Coast and working in several other local primary care settings, Paula recognized she needed to open her own direct practice if she wanted to have the time necessary with each patient. Time she felt was critical to providing the very best care.

She founded Simplicity Direct Care to offer this alternative within her community.
Simplicity Direct Care makes it easy for you to see your doctor - by limiting the number of patients, we can keep the schedule open to see our own patients when they are sick or have a new health concern. Follow us today to learn more about how we make healthcare easier to access.

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is simply a better approach to your healthcare. Rather than paying insurance to gain access to your doctor, you pay a monthly fee directly to your doctor and have your general healthcare needs taken care of. This gives you better control of the patient-doctor relationship. To read more about what’s included with the fee, visit our website: https://www.bakerdpc.com/services

Dr. Gregor on benefits of berries...

Berries are the most healthful fruits, due in part to their pigments, and are second only to herbs and spices as the most antioxidant-packed food category. As a group, they average nearly 10 times more antioxidants than other fruits and vegetables, and have in excess of 50 times the antioxidants than animal-based foods.

Blueberries can significantly improve cognitive performance within hours of consumption, and the more berries, the better. The consumption of blueberries and strawberries is associated with delayed cognitive aging by as much as two and a half years—thought to be because of brain-localizing anthocyanin phytonutrients, as shown on functional MRI scans.

Dark green leafy vegetables are packed with lutein. A brain antioxidant, lutein is a major carotenoid concentrated in the brain and the eyes. Significant correlations exist between cognitive test scores and the amount of macular pigment—that is, plant pigments like lutein in your eyes. Increasing the amount of greens, such as kale, in our diet can be a beneficial way to improve—and maintain—the health of our brain and eyes.

Of all of the food groups analyzed by a team of Harvard University researchers, greens turned out to be associated with the strongest protection against major chronic diseases, including up to about a 20 percent reduction in risk for both heart attacks and strokes for every additional daily serving.

If you take the blood thinner warfarin (sold as Coumadin and Jantoven), talk with your physician before increasing the amount of greens in your diet so the dosing of the drug can be adjusted as needed. Greens are a great source of vitamin K, which may interfere with how warfarin works in the body, so be sure to address that with your doctor before you pile on the leafies.

Berries and dark leafy greens are some of the most healthful foods we should include in our daily routine. This is why they each have their own special categories in Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen checklist. Download the free Daily Dozen app today and start ticking off your daily servings.
