I have an interesting story to tell you
In addition to what I believe to be sound dietary advice, one of the most common recommendations that I give to my clients and readers is to: Get some form of regular exercise! Trust me, that doesn’t win me any popularity contests. Exercise is loathsome to a lot of people, and many will do just about anything to avoid it. But I nonetheless continue to fervently tell people to exercise…even if my words fall...

What your “products of excrement” are telling you
When someone suddenly begins to experience pain, shortness of breath, severe vomiting, bleeding or a high fever, I think most people would realize it’s a good idea to see a doctor. Those are all signs that something isn’t right within you and it’s time to get some answers. Well, there’s another way your body tries to clue you in that trouble is brewing, but many of us don’t bother to examine its signs. The...

Do you have this stomach cancer risk factor?
There is a certain bacterial infection that has been around for an incredible 200,000 years and it’s not showing any signs of slowing down yet. It’s VERY contagious and affects a staggering 66 percent of the world’s population (2 out of 3 of us). In the vast majority of cases (90 percent), there are no symptoms at all, so most people who have contracted it don’t even know it. But that doesn’t mean it’s...

Could this be causing your gas and heartburn?
I think it’s safe to say that we have no shortage of people who are bloated, belching, burping, blocked up, and can play the Star-Spangled Banner with their flatulence. In fact, an astonishing 74 percent (three out of four) of us suffer either occasional or chronic (as in every day) digestive problems. The pharmaceutical industry squeals with delight as they tally up the profits from their sales of laxatives, stool softeners, acid reducers, antacids,...

Your gallbladder—Nature’s “mistake” or vital organ?
I recently spoke with a client who told me that she underwent exploratory surgery for abdominal pain, and during the procedure, her doctor removed her gallbladder because it appeared inflamed. She was assured that her gallbladder wasn’t really necessary anyway, and that she will be just fine without it. That has got to be one of the most ridiculous statements ever made, and it baffles me how so many medical professionals not only say...

Read this before you take a statin for cholesterol!
I would venture to say that there is no subject on God’s green earth that is as poorly understood as cholesterol. When talking about cholesterol, the extent of most people’s understanding is that it’s the demon that leads to heart disease and the magic number to strive for is 200, baby. And if your blood tests show you’re in the elevated range, welcome to the world of statins. But how did we get here? ...
