Would you sell your farts in a jar?
I heard a story on the radio last night about a reality TV star named Stephanie Matto who apparently made over $200,000 selling jars of her farts. She allegedly ate lots of beans and eggs to help, er, “manufacture” her product, and even added in some banana protein to enhance the stench. But alas, her ingenious enterprise was thwarted because she suffered very severe gas pains and thought she was having a heart attack....
Why modern medicine is an abysmal failure
I once had a client who was a textbook illustration of the failure of modern medicine. He came to me reporting a medical history of fainting episodes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and heartburn. He said his medications included these: Ranitidine (for heartburn) Hydrochlorothiazide (for hypertension) Amlodipine (for hypertension) Atorvastatin (for cholesterol) After talking with him about his fainting episodes and reviewing his diet record, I began to suspect that he was allergic to...

I have a secret to tell you
I have a little secret to share with you. Today is my birthday, and not only that, this is my LAST birthday in the 50s. Gulp! And while knocking on the door of 60 may sound a little scary on the surface, I honestly feel great! I’m still running every week, doing full-contact karate sparring (fighting men), and enjoying a consistent high level of energy. Plus I recently got mistaken as my daughter’s sister...
This will guarantee disease and early death
After 30 years in the health and nutrition field, I dare say I’ve heard it all. I’ve heard countless versions of what people think is a “healthy diet,” I’ve been asked about every diet fad and weight loss supplement known to man and have heard every excuse in the book for someone’s lack of exercise. That’s OK, because this is why I do what I do. To help people get on the right path...
