Yashoda Bhaskar and Colin Zhu discuss his interest in cooking, becoming a chef, working as a primary care physician, writing a book and his podcast

This current pandemic has proved to test our mental, emotional, and physical mettle. As a practicing family physician, I receive a lot of questions about how to improve immunity and what kinds of foods to eat or what kind of supplements I should take. What does it mean to be healthy? What does it mean to practice wellness? I would argue that health IS wealth.

It is always great to continue to nourish our minds with good books, am I right? Personally, even though I love the tangible element of a book in my hands, I actually read better with an audiobook at 1.5x while riding my bike or walking along the boardwalk, with a mask of course!

In celebration of Men’s Health Week 2020, six osteopathic physicians collaborated with the AOA to share activities, tips and exercises to stay physically and mentally healthy.

This current pandemic has proved to really test our mental, emotional, and physical mettle. As a practicing family doctor, I receive a lot of questions about how to improve immunity and what kinds of foods to eat or what kind of supplements I should take.

What do you think of when you hear those words? Gates, fences, borders, walls, things that are impenetrable. Emotional resilience comes to my mind, but why is this important? In a way, it is a test of how we go about our day to day. It is a measure of how we deal with our internal and our external world.

With so many choices out there, it can be tricky to figure out what pills, ointments, and tinctures are worth having on hand. To cut through the confusion, we asked 49 health-care professionals, including doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, to recommend their favorite products across 32 categories.

World traveler, filmmaker, and musician Blake Gearheard spins a yarn with fellow jet-setters and experts, unapologetically discussing all things travel, with plenty of laughs and detours along the way. Interviews with Dr. Colin Zhu.

In a day and age where time is fleeting, it is hard to achieve our goals even when our best efforts are at play. This is especially the case when it comes to our own health and a common issue among society in general.

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with Dr. Colin Zhu. Dr. Colin Zhu is a primary care Board-Certified family physician and from one of the first class of physicians in the world to be board-certified in Lifestyle Medicine.

Many people use dietary supplements on top of or in place of prescription medications to manage their health conditions. But without strict federal oversight or comprehensive studies, these supplements can sometimes cause serious medical issues.

Like sunburn and bug bites, food poisoning is a common warm-weather malady that can cause painful consequences. An estimated 48 million Americans, or one in six, get sick from food poisoning each year, many suffering violent vomiting, diarrhea or even death in rare cases. Understanding the risks can help prevent foodborne illness from showing up at your summer cookout.

Dr. Colin Zhu is a family medicine physician who practices primarily locums. He also trained as a chef and a health coach at the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health & Culinary Arts and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition after medical school.

The burden of chronic disease plagues our nation. Every day, we treat patients with diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and the list goes on. As a family physician, this is what we anticipate - and even expect - to treat every single day. But what if we didn’t have to treat patients with as many chronic conditions or comorbidities?

Your doctor is probably using social media at some point in their day. Some people (many of my patients included) are often quite surprised when they hear me talk about being on Twitter, Instagram, or sometimes even just the Internet in general.

Hear from IIN partner in health, Dr. Colin Zhu, on how men can take care of their well-being through self-care, cancer prevention, sexual health, and more.

As far as I can remember, I do not recall any one person telling me about locum tenens, but it was the sixth month of my second year of family practice residency training when I first heard about it. All of my colleagues were either contemplating staying in Connecticut (where I trained) or working for our local hospital. Personally, working for a hospital system or starting my own practice was neither attractive nor did either resonate with me at the time.
