We’d better wake up before it’s too late!
Brace yourself because I have some very disturbing statistics to share with you today. A JAMA study has shown that children and teens get a whopping 67 percent (two-thirds) of their daily calories from highly processed foods! 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...
Nine tests your doctor should run…but probably doesn’t
I think that one of the best feelings in the world is when you go for a checkup and are given a clean bill of health. Fair statement? But unfortunately, a clean bill of health does not necessarily guarantee that you are healthy. Because although you may get a thumbs up from your doc following your physical exam and bloodwork, trouble may still be brewing. To get a more complete picture of your innards and...
Don’t do this if you want to look younger
I once spoke at a “Fitness and Healthy Living” event in Los Angeles that I will never forget because most everything I saw around me was anything BUT healthy. The exhibit hall was filled with displays of very processed “workout” foods and snacks, diet shakes and pills, and most significantly…LOADS of people (mainly women) who have obviously had several Botox treatments. Now there’s nothing wrong with wanting to look youthful. But when someone gets to...
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...
Magnesium—the magnificent mineral!
I’m often asked what the most important vitamins and minerals are, and my response is always, “All of them.” But a certain mineral stands out from the others because it supports great health in a variety of ways, and a deficiency could be downright deadly. I’m talking about magnesium! Here’s the scoop on all that magnesium does for you, why you may be low in it (because most people are!) and what you can do...
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...
