Osteoporosis facts drug companies don’t want you to know
Following my move to Florida last fall, I was recently faced with the task of finding a new doctor…and I’m thankful to have had the good fortune to locate an outstanding integrative physician here in the Melbourne area. As part of my new patient workup, he ordered a DEXA Scan, and I’m proud to say that at 4 months shy of age 60, I have very healthy bones! But unfortunately, many women (as well...
The real culprit behind high blood pressure (Hint: it’s not salt)
As of this writing, an incredible, unprecedented 116 million American adults have high blood pressure (hypertension). That’s just a hair shy of 50 percent of us! Out of those 116 million, only about 29 million (1 out of 4) have it under control. Note that the hypertension population got a big “boost” back in 2017 when the high blood pressure threshold was changed from 140/90 down to 130/80. When that occurred, the percentage of...

Others may say proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). In fairness, these drugs do...
Got belly fat? Here’s how to get rid of it!
With nearly seventy percent of Americans currently being overweight or obese, I think it’s safe to say that there’s no shortage of belly fat around. But is all belly fat created equal? And what’s driving this epidemic of spare tires and muffin tops? Is it just that we’re eating too much? Or is there more to it than that? Let’s look at several factors that are behind our “blossoming bellies” and more importantly, how you...
How to prevent the second most deadly cancer
March is “National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.” Since colorectal cancer is second only to lung cancer in terms of deadliness, it’s good to be aware of it and more importantly, know how to prevent it. Colorectal cancer is rather personal to me since my Mom had it back in 1978 and ended up with a permanent colostomy as a result.
