What flu shot effectiveness really means
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve no doubt noticed the onslaught of signs and advertisements literally everywhere telling you to “Get your flu shot!” And, right about this time of year, studies of flu shot effectiveness are typically conducted…and whether you hear about those studies on the news depends on the results of said studies. After all, the pharma-funded mainstream media can’t risk ticking off their primary source of advertising revenue with...
Going gray? Here’s why (and how you fight it)
I’d like to talk today about what has been considered one of the inevitabilities of life. Gray hair. Ah, yes. Few subjects will make a woman cringe as much as the thought of going gray, and the hair color industry is very happy that you feel that way. Of course, men go gray too, but it’s long been said that gray hair makes a man look distinguished and a woman look old. I’ll let...

And there’s a good reason for that! I have worked out my entire adult life and I cannot stress enough the incredible health benefits from my exercise habits—including normal blood pressure, easily maintaining my weight, sound sleep, combatting stress and high...
Are these really just “a bunch of crap”?
*Important general office-hours announcement at the end - Please read through* I once had a client who told me that when she mentioned to her doctor that she was taking a multi-vitamin, he basically scolded her and said she “doesn’t need that crap.” Interesting perspective. Not only are vitamins NOT a bunch of crap, but our need for non-food sources of nutrients has continued to expand. At one time (several decades ago) people who had...
The best, most delicious cancer fighting foods!
As you probably know, I’m not a big fan of “awareness” events, especially when they revolve around health issues like cancer. Whether you know it or not, most of the money raised in cancer awareness events goes to drug and genetic research. We’ve spent trillions of dollars in cancer research since President Nixon declared his “War on Cancer” in 1971. But it remains our #2 killer. Clearly, we’re dropping the ball somewhere. While it’s...
