This is vital for good health and a long life
Although the mainstream medical community is progressing toward acknowledging the importance of your gut in overall health, some of them still have a way to go. I was recently asked by a doctor if I thought it was important for her to take probiotics after finishing a course of “triple therapy” for ulcers—which consists of two antibiotics and an antacid. As tempted as I was to say, “Duh,” I responded respectfully and said yes,...
Why does the CDC continue to ignore these diseases?
In theory, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is responsible for providing current, accurate information about health-related issues for Americans. Too bad a lot of what we’re seeing from them is neither current nor accurate. First of all, when searching “Leading causes of death in the US,” the CDC is still showing data from 2021 (three years ago). That’s current? Heart disease continues to top the list with about 695,000 deaths, and...
This could be Nature’s perfect nutrient—do you get enough?
A study was conducted by Harvard researchers that established 12 risk factors that were considered to be preventable causes of death. As you would expect, high blood pressure and smoking were ranked up at the top. But coming in at a noteworthy number 6 was an Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency! That may surprise you, but when you look at the many ways Omega-3 fatty acids support your health, it becomes clear that being without...
Does this sound like you? If so, please listen up.
I’ve been in the health and nutrition field for three decades, so as you can probably surmise, I’ve pretty much heard it all. I’ve seen numerous versions of what people think a “healthy diet” is, I’ve been asked about every diet and weight loss supplement on God’s green earth and have heard every excuse known to man for someone’s lack of exercise. That’s OK, because this is why I do what I do. To...
Don’t get caught up in this hype!
When it comes to selling, one of the oldest tricks in the book is to create an urgent need or problem, then magically provide (i.e.: sell) the solution to said problem. Note that I used the word create here, because many times the need for a specific product is just not there, so the customer must be convinced (or scared into thinking) they need it. At the same time, if other competing products can...
You can’t live without it—how is yours doing?
Nothing in our bodies is there by accident, and each and every cell, tissue and organ serves a valid purpose as designed by our Creator. While it’s hard to say that a certain organ is more important than another, one organ that puts in a valiant effort 24/7 to keep you above the ground and healthy is your liver! The liver deserves special mention because of its incredibly wide range and number of functions...
