My experiment was an abysmal failure
I recently conducted a little experiment to see if my suspicions were correct. And they were. I wrote letters to 65 local gastroenterologists in my surrounding area and along the east coast of Florida, introducing myself, including my curriculum vitae, and explaining that I would be happy to provide specialized meal suggestions and convenient guides that they could give to their patients to help address any dietary-related causes of their symptoms. Know how many...
Got meds? Read this before you take them today.
I have never heard of this before, but apparently October is National Talk About Prescriptions Month. Good, because I have a lot to say about that subject, so I’ll jump right in.

She said, “I know what I need to do, but I just look at myself and say, ‘Why bother?’” If this even remotely sounds like you, then read on and see what I explained to this woman. It’s...
This can either save your life or kill you
When faced with the unsettling news that they have a disease, many people are taken aback and swear that it just “came out of nowhere.” Trust me, nothing could be further from the truth. Disease is not a sneaky monster that lurks in the shadows and waits for its opportunity to bite poor unsuspecting you in the derriere. No, my friend—disease is slowly CREATED, and although there are many factors that determine whether your...
Brace yourself—more fear mongering is on the horizon
It’s that time of year again. The time when we are bombarded by signs EVERYWHERE saying, “Get your flu shot!” And this year’s push has an additional twist because now we are hearing about COVID and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) too! So get ready to start hearing scary numbers about hospitalizations, cases and the risk of death. But before you get caught up in worry and fear, here are some things to think about. ...
