4 Reasons you can’t lose weight
I once read an article about weight loss written by an MD. In it she mentioned that about 72 percent of Americans want to lose weight, and the average goal was 40 pounds. The challenge, she stated, is that only 14 percent of people who have lost weight have been able to keep it off for more than five years. But then the rest of the article suggests cutting calories to lose weight. Sorry,...
Have you been misled? Take this quiz to find out!
In a perfect world, the best information on how to stay healthy and prevent disease would be all around us. No matter what health agency or practitioner you consulted, their advice would be truthful and centered on safety and effectiveness, with no influence or bias in any way.

This “Wonder Drug” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be
There’s an old saying that goes, “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.” Those wise words are especially pertinent to the latest “Holy Grail” of the weight loss world. Semaglutide!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you undoubtedly know or have seen...
We’d better wake up before it’s too late!
Brace yourself because I have some very disturbing statistics to share with you today.

So is it any wonder they’re overweight, depressed, can’t sit still or concentrate, and over half (54 percent) of them have at least one chronic illness? Adults are no better. As adults we “should” appreciate the importance of...
What modern medicine is really about (Hint: It’s not health)
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “medicine” as: The science and art dealing with the maintenance of health and the prevention, alleviation, or cure of disease. I think they need to revisit this definition because I don’t see a lot of “health maintenance,” “prevention,” or “cure of disease” going on. What I do see is a system that is entirely captured and controlled by pharma to the extent that most times, the best you can hope for...
A very preventable cause of chronic disease
I remember having a conversation with a woman who told me how fortunate she felt to be in good health in her early 60's. This is how she described "good health": Her cholesterol stayed under 200 with Crestor Her blood pressure was controlled with amlodipine Omeprazole kept her acid reflux at bay Metformin brought her A1C down to < 6% THAT'S good health? This woman is anything BUT healthy. What she has is a chemically...
