Hillary Clinton has no serious health problems, says her doctor. And as Hillary pursues her goal of becoming the President of the United States, Clinton’s health at 67 has repeatedly come up as a concern, reported the New York Times.
New York physician Dr. Lisa Bardack did detail Hillary’s past and present medical concerns. Clinton’s health issues include heart disease in her family tree, an underactive thyroid, and a brain concussion. In addition, Hillary has battled brain and leg blood clots as well as allergies.
Clinton’s medications to cope with her health concerns include B-12, antihistamines, and thyroid hormone. In addition, Hillary is on Coumadin, which is a drug prescribed for those who are at risk of blood clots.
The attention to Clinton’s health has been ongoing for three years. During her career as secretary of state, Hillary experienced her most serious medical crisis: A brain blood clot and a concussion.
“[Hillary’s concussion] required six months of very serious work to get over,” said her husband Bill.
Although Clinton’s health history did not reveal her weight, she did reveal that the would-be President eats a low-carb diet consisting mainly of protein and fresh produce. To stay fit, Hillary lifts weights, swims, walks, and does yoga.
As the Inquisitr reported, Bill also follows a Paleo-style low-carb diet. Clinton revealed that he is a former vegan who ended his plant-based diet when his physician Dr. Mark Hyman told him that he was not getting enough good quality protein on a vegan diet and that weight loss is more difficult for vegans.
Hillary gets credit for being concerned about her husband’s weight and introducing Dr. Hyman to Clinton, according to Science 2.0.
After changing the Clintons’ diets to higher protein and lower carb weight loss plans, Dr. Hyman also became friends with with both Bill and Hillary.
In addition to addressing Clinton’s health, her campaign revealed her financial situation, reported the Wall Street Journal.
During the last seven years, Hillary and Bill made $139 million. In 2014, they earned $28 million. By releasing that information as well as Clinton’s health, her campaign hopes to halt criticisms that she has been too secretive about this type of detail.
But it resulted in a battle between Jeb Bush’s and Clinton’s aides. While Hillary’s team said that she has unveiled the most information about her money, Bush’s team countered.
“[Clinton’s financial disclosures are] a failed attempt to distract from the fact that Secretary Clinton’s emails—which she has gone to extraordinary lengths to hide from the American people—are now being released under a federal court order. Governor Bush is running the most transparent campaign in the entire field,” said Bush’s campaign.
In summing up Hillary’s medical status, Clinton’s physician emphasized her current health in a letter.
“[Clinton is in] excellent physical condition, [and] fit to serve as president of the United States,” said Hillary’s personal physician.
