The “stones” that most people don’t know about
When you think of "stones" in your body, most people will think of kidney stones, gallstones or maybe bladder stones. But those aren't the only areas of your body that are prone to stones—because you can also get stones in your tonsils! To understand how that can happen, it's important to look at these humble little sentinels in the back of your throat called your tonsils. The humble sentinels Your tonsils are part of...
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...

I’m talking about chronic disease. Currently, half of all adult Americans, and shockingly 54 percent of our children, have at least one chronic disease (according...
Beware! This is even more dangerous than sugar!
Important announcement at the end, please read through. I would suspect that you probably remember me talking countless times in the past about the dangers of sugar, especially “sugar” in the toxic form of high fructose corn syrup. Sugar is a driving force behind a plethora of diseases and conditions including diabetes, insulin resistance, cancer, heart disease, obesity, dementia, immune dysfunction and chronic inflammation, to name a few. And it’s no coincidence that our...
Are your meds making you sicker?
Although there are times when medications are necessary and appropriate, as a society we’ve gone way overboard and are increasingly relying on drugs to “create health” for us. I’ve heard people say things like they are in “good health” because their blood pressure is controlled with beta blockers, their cholesterol is under 200 with statins, proton pump inhibitors keep their acid reflux quiet, and sedatives help them sleep.
