Goodbye purple pills! 5 ways to stay heartburn-free
Ever notice there’s a pattern of fantasy and reality when it comes to medications? What I mean is that the manufacturers promise a magical, effortless “end result” (whether that be lower cholesterol, less pain, lower A1C, etc.) and show happy, attractive people in their commercials enjoying life. That’s the fantasy. The reality is quite a different picture—peppered with side effects, many of which can be debilitating and/or require more medications to counteract them! And...
Here’s why modern medicine is our #3 killer
I recently met with a client (I’ll call her Brenda) who gave me a very grim reminder of why modern medicine is the number three killer in America. Brenda came to me reporting a medical history that included acid reflux, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and depression. She stated her current medications were the following: Nexium (for acid reflux) Amlodipine (for hypertension) Wellbutrin (for depression) Atorvastatin (for cholesterol) Brenda also mentioned that she felt...
What to do when Nature won’t call for you
I’d like to talk today about something that we all experience at one time or another. Constipation! But before I get into the nitty-gritty of Nature failing to call for you, I have a funny but true story to share: A very dear friend of mine knows a gal who doesn’t bother with laxatives, enemas or prune juice when she gets constipated.

Beyond BO—what sweating really means!
I ran 10.25 miles yesterday morning and to say I was sweaty afterwards is a bit of an understatement. As a matter of fact, my son (who turns 22 years old today!) looked at my running shirt that was literally dripping and said laughingly, “Nice, Mom. You going to wear that to the office today?” (Wise guy.) All kidding aside, whether we like it or not, everyone sweats from time to time and that’s...
Better than Tums or Nexium for acid reflux!
If you’ve got acid reflux, heartburn, GERD or whatever you want to call it, know this: Those Tums, purple pills or whatever you’re taking on a regular basis might give you some relief from the fire in your chest in the moment, but alas, there’s trouble brewing within. Here’s what I mean—let’s look at two of the most common drug answers for reflux: [[big4]]PPIs (proton pump inhibitors—like Prilosec, Prevacid and Nexium)[[end]] PPIs “work” by...
What is the best medicine of all?
There’s a loaded question! What do you think is the best medicine of all? Many people would say antibiotics. Well, it’s true that they’ve saved lives, but they have also destroyed our gut microbiomes and spurred the development of “Superbugs” that resist our strongest antibiotics and can pose a threat to your life. Others may say proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). These drugs do what they’re supposed to—shut down your stomach acid so it can’t...
