Read this before your morning coffee!
When I travel, there are typically 2 certainties that I can always count on. A delay in at least one of my flights and a mile-long line at Starbucks. It’s the second of the two that I want to talk to you about today. Because if you’re a Starbucks (or other fancy coffee shop) worshipper, I have an important message for you. Those coffees that you love so much have a very dark side—and...

The deadly health threat no one talks about
I don’t know about you, but I’ve stopped watching and reading mainstream media news because it disgusts me. Talk about fear mongering, sensationalism and drama—some of these journalists ought to win Academy Awards instead of a Pulitzer Prize. And the thing is, they will only report what their sponsors allow them to report…so many times a truly imperative issue is slanted or swept under the rug because it would ruffle the wrong feathers and...

And if you are a regular reader of mine, I hope you remember that I’ve told you they help with depression, since most of your body’s serotonin is produced in your gut!...

My special 4th of July message to you
Happy Independence Day to you! As we celebrate the birth of our country, this day will be filled with barbecues, parades, outdoor activities and of course, fireworks!

Are you guilty of this too? It’s time to stop
I’m a bit fired up today so this blog is going to be me speaking to you, as my late mother would say, like a “Dutch Uncle.” Telling it like it is, in other words, without sugar-coating anything. Here is where we are today in terms of health in the US: 6 out of 10 adults have a chronic disease. “Chronic disease” means a condition that lasts 1 year or more and requires ongoing...
