What in the world is MTHFR? (And why you should care)
Although it looks like an acronym for a dirty word, MTHFR stands for methyletetrahydrofolate reductase—which is an enzyme that converts folic acid (vitamin B9) into its usable, active form—called methyl-folate (5MTHF). Active methyl-folate is important because it plays a crucial role in a biochemical process called methylation. Methylation is heavily involved with your body’s ability to detox itself, as well as enzyme, hormone and neurotransmitter production, and it even affects your DNA! Methylation is...
Do you eat enough of these cancer-fighting foods?
As you can probably recall, I’m not a big fan of “awareness” events, especially when they revolve around health issues like cancer. Whether you know it or not, most of the money raised in cancer awareness events goes to drug and genetic research.

Two of Nature’s superstars that could arguably replace several...
Without this, you’re at high risk for heart disease
If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while, hopefully you know that vitamin D is crucial to help prevent heart disease—our number 1 killer. Heart disease is largely caused by inflammation, and vitamin D’s anti-inflammatory properties help reduce your risk. But there’s another nutrient that’s just as important to protect against heart disease, although most people aren’t even aware of it. Vitamin K!

Don’t ignore these 10 health warning signs
I think it’s safe to say that very few of us want to overreact to every little ache, pain and symptom and spend our time running to the doctor continuously. Usually the average person will “wait it out” and hope that the issue resolves itself. But there are certain signals your body may be giving you that you should not ignore. Although the potential causes behind these symptoms can be relatively minor, they may...
