The taboo subject that most people dread
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.

An important message about your health
It’s never, ever too late to improve your health, regardless of your age or how long you’ve been sick.

What your tongue is trying to tell you
When a person wakes up one day with excruciating pain, a high fever or a rash all over their body, it’s pretty obvious that something is wrong, and they better find out what it is.
But sometimes the warning signals your body gives you aren’t so obvious—they’re more subtle.
And nowhere is this truer than in your mouth—specifically, your tongue.

Got fatigue? Brain fog? This could be why
It continues to boggle my mind that nutrients are the LAST thing that doctors look at (or better yet, they’re completely ignored) when a patient comes in complaining of symptoms. Because being low in ANY nutrient can have a tremendous impact on your health! And nowhere is this truer than with Vitamin B12!
