Trouble sleeping?  Don’t do this!

Trouble sleeping? Don’t do this!

  Back in the early 70s when I was a kid there was a song by the 5th Dimension called “(Last night) I didn’t get to sleep at all,” sung beautifully by the immensely talented Marilyn McCoo.  While the idea behind the song is her inability to sleep because her love interest was on her mind, one line of the song that is particularly intriguing is the one where she sings, “The sleeping pill I...

A very inspiring story that will touch your heart

A very inspiring story that will touch your heart

  I think it’s ingrained in us as human beings to embrace an inspiring story and be moved by the same.  That’s why I share the story of my own ill health—suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) for 15 years and feeling hopeless—until I changed my diet and ended my IBS practically overnight.  And I’m thankful to say that I’ve been able to help many others do the same with my Great Taste No Pain...

A very exciting announcement!

A very exciting announcement!

  If you’ve been a reader of mine for even a short while, you’ve likely noticed that my message is one of supporting health primarily through a diet of real foods and proper supplementation.  But to be honest, ONE THING has been troubling me since 2007 when I began writing books and health articles and it’s this…  What about the people who just WON’T change their diet?  Trust me, I know there are a lot...

Everything you’ve been told about cholesterol is false

Everything you’ve been told about cholesterol is false

  Back when I was earning my Nutrition Master’s, one of my reading requirements was the book Deep Nutrition by Dr. Cate Shanahan.  In Deep Nutrition, Dr. Shanahan tells the story of how she was taught in medical school that cholesterol causes heart disease, that a diet low in cholesterol and saturated fats was “heart healthy,” and statins were the gold standard for lowering cholesterol.
