Beyond heartburn—all that mastic gum can do for you
Here’s an eye-opening statistic for you today: Seven out of 10 Americans take at least one prescription medication every day. So in other words, it’s the norm to be medicated, and you’re a weirdo if you’re not. And while that may be cause for celebration at Pfizer, Astra Zeneca, Merck and Johnson & Johnson, for the average person just trying to get relief from a health issue, it’s anything but celebratory. Because while drugs...
Avoid this fast track to an early grave
As I was sitting at a red light at a busy intersection yesterday, I saw a car traveling at an unsafe speed cut someone off, then it made a quick right turn on a dime. Into the McDonald’s drive-thru entrance. Too bad for him that the line was pretty long, so his quick pursuit of a Big Mac was about to come to a screeching halt. I don’t care where you live or what...

Subcutaneous fat is...
The worst diet advice I’ve ever seen
As a holistic nutrition coach, when I see the horrible diet advice out there that people are given or see on “health” sites or in magazines, it makes me seethe. No wonder nearly 8 out of 10 of us are sick, overweight and medicated. And one of the biggest problems is that many sources of dreadful advice appear to be credible! For example, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends calorie-free drinks (AKA artificial sweeteners),...
Gut on fire? Do what you need to do to stop it!
It amazes me when people complain about gut aches, heartburn, constipation, diarrhea, you-name-it, yet at the same time they are completely unwilling and resistant to doing what they need to do in order to feel better. They want so desperately to just eat the way they’ve always eaten, yet somehow magically feel great. I recently saw a comment from a member (I’ll call him “Bill”) of a Facebook digestive health support group that’s the...
Would you sell your farts in a jar?
I heard a story on the radio last night about a reality TV star named Stephanie Matto who apparently made over $200,000 selling jars of her farts. She allegedly ate lots of beans and eggs to help, er, “manufacture” her product, and even added in some banana protein to enhance the stench. But alas, her ingenious enterprise was thwarted because she suffered very severe gas pains and thought she was having a heart attack....
