67: Thermography

The InForm Fitness Podcast

Simply put, Thermography measures the temperature of a particular area of the body using a high-resolution, infrared camera, and is able to pinpoint “hot spots” without the use of radiation

When you have chronic inflammation, your body's inflammatory response can eventually start damaging healthy cells, tissues, and organs. Over time, this can lead to DNA damage, tissue death, internal scarring and the development of several diseases, including, heart disease cancer.

Tammy eloquently explains:

• What is thermography and how it works?
• What is a thermography session like?
• Who should get thermography?
• Is thermography a substitute for mammography?
• What is neoangiogenesis?
• Who analyzes the thermography imagery?
• Is thermography safe and how often should one get a scan?
• Breast ‘hot spots’ and the surprising causes.

As always, your feedback and suggestions are always welcome.

The Inform Fitness podcast with Adam Zickerman and co host Mike Rogers is a presentation of Inform Fitness studios, a small family of personal training facilities specializing in safe, efficient high intensity strength training. On our BI monthly podcast, Adam and Mike discuss the latest findings in the areas of exercise nutrition and recovery with leading experts and scientists, we aim to debunk the popular misconceptions in the urban myths that are so prevalent in the fields of health and fitness, and to replace those sacred cows with scientific base. up to the minute information on a variety of subjects will cover exercise protocols and techniques, nutrition, sleep recovery, the role of genetics in the response to exercise, and much more. On this episode, Adam welcomes Tammy Kohlschmidt, who explains how the use of thermography detects early inflammation throughout the body for seeing health problems years before symptoms may manifest.

Tammy 01:13

Here's what people really need to understand about thermography. It allows you to see what you cannot yet feel. It's the start of early disease detection, which will let you be preventative.

Adam 01:28

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the show. Today is going to be a very interesting topic. Something I don't know very much about. It's called thermography. And today I have with us, Tammy Kohlschmidt. Hello, Tammy.

So, Tammy, yes. tomography. Yes. What the hell is thermography? Well,

Tammy 03:05

before I open into that, I do want to give just some acknowledgement to you, Adam, because your ingenuity and what you do has been a godsend into my life. So thank you for that. You definitely disrupted the way that I see exercise and working out. So thank you. Kudos to you.

Adam 03:24

Thank you. Yeah. And I did not pay her to say that.

Tammy 03:27

No, no. And also, I do want to acknowledge your listeners, because if they're following you, then I have a feeling that they're also disruptors to anything mainstream. So

Adam 03:38

is tomography a disrupter? Is that your total

Tammy 03:41

Disrupt? Yes. So you asked what is demography? It's called Digital infrared thermal imaging, and it measures your body's temperature using an infrared camera. The reason this is important, is because we can screen for inflammation. And there's no other test out there that can really do that with a visual. Number one, your body temperature doesn't lie. It tells us everything we need to know. There's no pain, there's no radiation, there's no body contact, and it was approved for use in 1982 by the FDA. So it's not new. However, it's just not well known. And it's not used by mainstream medicine, mainly because it's not taught in universities.

Adam 04:30

So when you say it was approved by the FDA approved for walk for use in

Tammy 04:35

health screening, and in cancer detection for the breasts,

Adam 04:39

okay, and does it how exactly? Well,

Tammy 04:43

so Well, let me just kind of walk you through what an appointment would be like so that we get an idea of how it does. The patient comes in, it's a temperature controlled room at about 68 degrees, because the body has to acclimate to that cool temperature. So that Your true inflammation comes out. And not just all of your body heat, let's say from walking to the appointment, climbing stairs, things like that. So as the body acclimates to the temperature, you're actually in a gown. You're not wearing clothing, because we are

Adam 05:16

you say the room is 60 degrees 68. So you're freezing your ass. Oh,

Tammy 05:20

you're cold. Yeah. But we don't cool for too long. It's like a 10 minute cooldown. And then it's a dark room. So for those of you who are modest, it's cool. It's a very dark room. You take off your gown, and then we do images. It's like getting your picture taken. But again, there's no body contact. There's no pain, no ...
