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...

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...
Don't be fooled by this wolf in sheep's clothing
In my 17-year nutrition career, I’ve had several experiences that I will label “unsettling.” For example, I once had a client whose told me her friend had suffered a heart attack. Apparently, the friend had been taking a multi-vitamin and her doctor actually scolded her for it, saying she doesn’t need “that crap” and her diet will give her “all the nutrients she needs.” Sorry doc, but you’re all wet, and it’s painfully obvious you...

This woman is anything BUT healthy. What she has is a chemically...
