Do you sabotage your health like this?
In my professional practice, I’m sometimes entertained by the reactions I get when people consult with me about their health issues and the first question I ask them is, “How’s your diet?” I frequently get the deer-in-the-headlights look, or they look down at the floor. That good, huh? Now, most people know that eating wholesome nutritious foods is important for good health! But the problem is that there are sneaky little excuses that can...
10 foods you must avoid
I had a conversation with an acquaintance who told me she was in good health because: Her cholesterol was under control with Lipitor Her blood pressure stayed right around 120/80 with atenolol Nexium kept her acid reflux at bay Metformin brought her A1C down to under 6% THAT'S good health? This woman is anything BUT healthy. Sadly, people like this uber-medicated woman are increasingly common in our society today, and that includes our...
Stop & reverse the 5 stages of poor health!

I don’t care where you live or what...
Would you sell your farts in a jar?
I heard a story on the radio last night about a reality TV star named Stephanie Matto who apparently made over $200,000 selling jars of her farts. She allegedly ate lots of beans and eggs to help, er, “manufacture” her product, and even added in some banana protein to enhance the stench. But alas, her ingenious enterprise was thwarted because she suffered very severe gas pains and thought she was having a heart attack....
Are you still using these poisons?
Arguably one of the greatest frauds committed by the food industry against the human race is the creation of artificial sweeteners. I say that because at no other time in our history have we encountered such deadly poisons being willingly consumed by the masses…while our “regulators” (the FDA) have apparently ignored the mounding evidence of their health dangers and have declared them “safe for the general population.” And the marketing angles are perfect! These...
