Your #1 predictor of disease (Hint: It’s not your genes)
Modern medicine has traditionally focused on family history (i.e.: someone’s genes) as a strong predictor of whether or not a person will develop a certain disease. Think about any time you’ve ever gone to a doctor and had to fill out paperwork—they always ask if your grandparents, parents or siblings have had cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. Well, now evidence is emerging that family history is not the be all and end all of...
The best gift you could get isn’t under your tree

Are you a likely target for cancer? How to tell
A very dear friend of mine from college was just diagnosed with cancer. We had been keeping in touch over the last 10 years or so, thanks to social media. I had noticed that several of her Facebook posts were recipes for rich desserts and other sweets…and I’ve got to tell you, I’ve been troubled about that for some time. I knew she was overweight and had been warned that her blood glucose levels...
A COVID-19 risk factor you can avoid
One of the biggest factors that has emerged that exponentially increases someone’s risk of complications from COVID-19 is the presence of diabetes. It should be no surprise. Diabetes impairs your body’s functioning from head to toe, and has a very long resume of the health problems it causes or worsens. COVID-19 is just another checkmark on the list. But the glimmer of hope here is that in many cases of diabetes are very PREVENTABLE! ...
