If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my nearly 40-year career in the health field, it’s this: Our bodies are FAR smarter than we give them credit for, and they let you know what they need and when they need it. The key here is that you have to listen!  For example, when your body needs nutrients, you feel hunger. When it needs rest, you feel tired. When it’s repairing an injury, you have...

  When I first meet with a client, I typically ask them what’s going on and what their health concerns are.  Then I ask questions. I normally start with, “How’s your diet?” which is usually followed by the client looking at the floor or saying, “Um, not that bad.” Okey-dokey.

The characters were very funny and made for some very amusing predicaments.  One of the most memorable was the Clampetts’ nephew Jethro Bodine, who had an ENORMOUS appetite and was...

  Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)—such as Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid—are the gold standard treatment for a variety of digestive issues including acid reflux, GERD, indigestion, heartburn, and ulcers. With annual sales of over $13 billion, the drug companies certainly want to maintain that status and keep cranking out those purple pills.     PPIs “work” (and I use that term loosely) by raising your stomach’s pH and shutting down its acid production.  With less acid in...
