The health scare no one talks about
While it seems to be the current focus of our national health agencies to scare the bejeezus out of people talking about the flu, COVID, monkeypox and whatever other viruses they can point a finger at, there is a glaring failure in how these agencies “serve and inform” us. I’m talking about chronic disease. Currently, half of all adult Americans, and shockingly 54 percent of our children, have at least one chronic disease (according...
A sneaky factor behind our obesity explosion
Here’s an eye-opening statistic--currently, nearly eight out of 10 Americans are overweight or obese. And those numbers are not going down. Of course, the begging question here is: What in the world is going on? Why is it our “new normal” to be overweight? Well, there are a lot of factors behind the scenes, including processed/fast foods, lack of exercise, exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, chronic stress and the resulting elevated cortisol levels, and our...
How to make working from home, work for YOU
Since the emergence of COVID and the resulting lockdowns and closures, more people than ever before have begun working from home. In fact, by the end of 2020, 71 percent of Americans who could do their jobs remotely were working from their homes. But COVID was not the sole reason behind this shift. Over the last few decades as technology has advanced and fewer job responsibilities have required an employee’s physical presence five days...
Men: It’s time to talk about this taboo subject

But not talking about the problems won’t make them go away and only increases a man’s risk of serious disease or even death. Here’s a sobering statistic: According to the National Cancer Institute, prostate cancer is the #1 most common cancer in males living in the US, with about 300,000 cases...
How much vitamin D do you really need?
We recently received a question about the vitamin D3 dose in our Optimum DK Formula. The reader was wondering if the 5,000 IUs of vitamin D was “too much,” especially considering that her doctors have told her not to take more than 2,000 IUs of vitamin D per day and that research from Harvard indicated the upper-level max was 4,000 IUs. That’s a great question, and I’m sure others may be wondering about...
These can either make or break your health
If you went to the doctor and reported having insomnia, chances are good you’d walk out with a prescription for sleeping pills. Or if you mentioned feeling depressed, you may get an antidepressant. If you complained about indigestion, acid reducers may be in your future. But there is a common underlying cause for all of these health issues (and many more) that NONE of the prescription drugs in the world can touch—and in...
