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.

When it comes to digestive distress, the potential causes can run the gamut. Processed foods, enzyme insufficiency, lacking a gallbladder, imbalanced microbiome, certain medications, leaky gut, stress and food allergies/intolerances are some of the possible culprits.

If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while, you probably know where I stand on the topic of artificial sweeteners. In case you’re not sure, let me clarify: They are POISON. And the fact that they have been so widely used for decades proves once again that advertising works. In this case, these toxic powders have been positioned as a dieter’s dream, even though they are associated with weight GAIN—not loss! They’ve...
A deadly deficiency you don’t want to have
If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while, hopefully you know by now that vitamin D is crucial to help prevent heart disease—our number 1 killer. Heart disease is largely caused by inflammation, and vitamin D’s anti-inflammatory properties help reduce your risk. But there’s another nutrient that’s just as important to protect against heart disease, although most people aren’t even aware of it. Vitamin K! Here’s why: Vitamin K—vitamin D’s important partner ...
