Heart attack—know the symptoms and what to do

Heart attack—know the symptoms and what to do

People often ask me where I get my motivation to always eat healthy and work out consistently.  Easy. Motivation is derived from wanting to achieve something positive and/or avoid something painful.  In my case, I have looming over me a family history of heart disease. My dad had his first heart attack at the tender age of 35! Then his second heart attack killed him at age 58.  So there’s my motivation! And I’ve spent...

Could this be the best medicine of all?

Could this be the best medicine of all?

  That question probably grabbed your attention.  What do you think is the best medicine of all?  Many people would say antibiotics.  It’s true that they’ve helped to kill dangerous bacterial infections, but they have also destroyed our gut microbiomes (making us more susceptible to illness) and spurred the development of “Superbugs” that resist even our strongest drugs and can be life-threatening.  Others may say proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).   These drugs “work” by shutting down...

  A study was conducted by Harvard researchers that established 12 risk factors that were considered to be preventable causes of death.  As you would expect, high blood pressure and smoking were ranked up at the top.  But coming in at a noteworthy number 6 was an Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency!  That may surprise you, but when you look at the many ways Omega-3 fatty acids support your health, it becomes clear that being without...

This bad advice is still being parroted by health experts

This bad advice is still being parroted by health experts

  I recently saw an article on Facebook that talked about harmful foods that people should avoid.  Of course that caught my attention, and I wanted to see what this doctor saw as “harmful” and why, so I read on.  I agreed with the first few items—soda, processed foods and artificial sweeteners.    Good going so far!  Especially with artificial sweeteners, since I know they are still being pushed by many in the health field as...

My experiment was an abysmal failure

My experiment was an abysmal failure

  I recently conducted a little experiment to see if my suspicions were correct.  And they were.  I wrote letters to 65 local gastroenterologists in my surrounding area and along the east coast of Florida, introducing myself, including my curriculum vitae, and explaining that I would be happy to provide specialized meal suggestions and convenient guides that they could give to their patients to help address any dietary-related causes of their symptoms.  Know how many...
