This could be Nature’s perfect nutrient—do you get enough?
A study was conducted by Harvard researchers that established 12 risk factors that were considered to be preventable causes of death. As you would expect, high blood pressure and smoking were ranked up at the top. But coming in at a noteworthy number 6 was an Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency! That may surprise you, but when you look at the many ways Omega-3 fatty acids support your health, it becomes clear that being without...
Beyond the gut—4 more ways probiotics support great health

But there’s another MUCH more prevalent virus than any of those that is affecting up to 95 percent of Americans, but the mainstream media is completely mum on the subject! It’s...
This increases your risk of COVID-19 and most diseases
I’m going to start your Monday with some not-so-pleasant statistics. According to the CDC, currently about half of all adult Americans, and 54 percent of our children, have at least one chronic condition. In addition, chronic disease is responsible for at least seven out of 10 deaths. In other words, it is more “normal” to be sick than well, and that doesn’t sit very well with me!

Safe, effective pain relief without deadly drugs
According to reports by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), serious chronic pain affects a whopping 116 million Americans—that is over one out of three of us!
