This COVID risk factor is under your control

This COVID risk factor is under your control

  If the last year has taught us one thing, it’s that having underlying co-morbidities with COVID dramatically increases your risk of serious complications, hospitalization and even death.  The “three biggies” here are high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes. But the common denominator underlying all of these is insulin resistance.  Insulin resistance drives up your blood glucose level, triggering diabetes as well as stirring up the inflammation in your blood vessels that contributes to high...

Ladies, an important health message for you

Ladies, an important health message for you

  I feel truly blessed to be able to say that I love what I do.  It really jazzes me to write books and blogs, consult one on one with clients, design helpful supplements, give dietary suggestions, and one of my very favorite things to do--speak and interact with people at conferences.
