Do any of these sound like you? You can’t control yourself once the bread basket arrives at your table in a restaurant… You forget that one-pound box of pasta is supposed to serve eight people—not two… The chips or crackers in the vending machine at work seem to call your name… You can’t remember the last time you had anything except a muffin, donut or bagel for breakfast… If so, it appears you are...

Thanksgiving is upon us!
This is a time to be thankful for all of our blessings—and even if times are difficult for you right now, if you have a roof over your head, food on your table and warm clothes to wear, you are blessed.
Now, Thanksgiving is an interesting paradox because it starts out with sheer excitement and anticipation about all the delicious food that is being prepared.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)—such as Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid—are the go-to treatment for a variety of digestive issues including acid reflux, GERD, indigestion, heartburn, and ulcers.  

With annual sales of over $10 billion, drug manufacturers certainly want to maintain that status and keep their cash cow producing revenue.   

PPIs “work” (and I mean that in the loosest sense of the word) by raising your stomach’s pH and shutting down its acid production.  With less acid in the stomach to shoot up in your throat, you feel relief from reflux and other digestive symptoms.

Few words in the English language conjure up as much dread as EXERCISE.
Alas, when the word exercise comes up, the excuses come out!
Many people claim to "not have the time." Yet they can tell you what happened on Criminal Minds or NCIS each week. The sad thing is, most excuse-makers also happen to be overweight, sick and medicated.

Although advances in medicine are being trumpeted every day, there’s not much to celebrate—because as a nation we’re getting sicker and sicker, and that includes our children! 

And one type of disease that has been growing exponentially over the last few decades and is affecting young and old alike is autoimmune diseases.

 

I spoke at the Trinity Health Conference in Chicago on Saturday, and one theme rang through loud and clear from the women who heard my talk and visited our booth… They are ALWAYS bloated and gassy! Naturally, they are desperate for answers! Who wants to live their life always looking 9 months pregnant and sneaking off to the bathroom to break wind 50 times a day?
