Acid reflux? Heartburn? This is better than deadly drugs!
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)—such as Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid—are the gold standard treatment for a variety of digestive issues including acid reflux, GERD, indigestion, heartburn, and ulcers. With annual sales of over $13 billion, the drug companies certainly want to maintain that status and keep cranking out those purple pills. PPIs “work” (and I use that term loosely) by raising your stomach’s pH and shutting down its acid production. With less acid in...
This disease fighter is almost too good to be true!
You know the old saying that goes, “If it sounds too good to be true it probably is”? Most times that’s sage advice because you may be missing something or getting deceived in some way! But that’s not always the case. Because every once in a while, something comes along that really is THAT GOOD and hard as it may be to conceive, it’s the truth! A perfect example of this is the spice...
GMOs are deadly—here’s what you need to know

For those of you still scratching your heads on what they are, GMO foods are living organisms that have had their genes artificially manipulated in a lab. Scientists splice bits of DNA from one organism into another in...
Should you do the keto diet?
As a nutrition coach, one of the most common questions I get asked is what I think of a certain diet. It’s not surprising. After all, no one diet is 100 percent right for everyone, all the time. Our biochemial individuality makes us unique in many ways, and what’s good for one person is not necessarily good for another. Plus your choice of diet largely depends on what you’re aiming to accomplish. Of course,...
Want to be slim and healthy? Don’t do this!
March is National Nutrition Month. And in my career as a nutrition coach, I’m often amused by the reactions I get when people consult with me about their health challenges and the first thing I say to them is, “How’s your diet?” I usually get the deer-in-the-headlights look, or they look down at the floor. That good, huh? Now, most people know darn well that eating wholesome nutritious foods is important! But the problem...

This COVID risk factor is under your control
If the last year has taught us one thing, it’s that having underlying co-morbidities with COVID dramatically increases your risk of serious complications, hospitalization and even death. The “three biggies” here are high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes. But the common denominator underlying all of these is insulin resistance. Insulin resistance drives up your blood glucose level, triggering diabetes as well as stirring up the inflammation in your blood vessels that contributes to high...
