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...

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.

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

No way around it - you've GOT to do this
I was once challenged to say what I do for a living without saying what I do for a living. I responded, “I tell people what they don’t want to hear, but need to hear.” Sound about right? And although the initial focus of my coaching is about diet and nutrition, the questions I usually ask go way beyond, “What are your typical meals and what supplements do you take?” Because the next most important...

Are you being manipulated like this?
Are you being manipulated like this? I’ve been in the health field for 40 years in one capacity or another, and although being able to help others has been a rewarding blessing to me, I’ve also “gone down a rabbit hole” and come to realize the extent of the dark side of our modern medical system. Now, before I ruffle any feathers, I want to stress that there are exceptions to everything, and what I’m...
