Are your bowel habits normal?  Here’s how to tell.

Are your bowel habits normal? Here’s how to tell.

  Ah, pooping.  Such a personal subject.  The intimate relationship between you, your toilet bowl and Charmin.    Bowel habits are typically not something that most people feel comfortable discussing, especially when the conversation centers on how often you go.  But it probably won’t surprise you that I believe it’s a VERY important topic of conversation, so let’s have a little chat about your Number twos.    Where do you fall on the spectrum?  Generally speaking, people...

What your sweat says about you!

What your sweat says about you!

  I recently passed a mixed martial arts (MMA) test for advanced green belt (the next level is brown belt!) and to say I was sweaty afterwards is a huge understatement.  I was telling all of my fellow MMA students after the test how my nickname in my prior 19 years of karate used to be “Sweaty Betty” and they got a big kick out of that!    All kidding aside, whether we like it or...

Feed disease or fight it—the choice is yours

Feed disease or fight it—the choice is yours

  As much as I would like to say otherwise, our current state of health is not “health” at all—it’s disease management.   If you doubt what I’m saying, then consider these disturbing facts:  7 out of 10 of us take at least one prescription medication per day  75 percent of us are overweight or obese  Over 60 percent of US adults have at least one chronic condition such as heart disease, cancer or Type 2...

The deadly health threat that you never hear about

The deadly health threat that you never hear about

  This probably won’t surprise you, but I’ve long stopped watching mainstream media news because it disgusts me.  Talk about fear mongering, sensationalism and drama—some of these well-groomed puppets ought to win Academy Awards.  And the thing is, they will only talk about what their pharma and special interest sponsors allow them to report…so many times a truly imperative issue is slanted or swept under the rug because it would ruffle the wrong feathers.  Well,...

What your doctor doesn’t know about high blood pressure

What your doctor doesn’t know about high blood pressure

According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, currently nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure, with readings consistently at or above 130/80.

Note that the hypertension population got a big “boost” back in 2017 when the high blood pressure threshold was changed from 140/90 down to 130/80. When that occurred, the percentage of American adults with hypertension jumped from 32 percent under the old guidelines up to nearly 46 percent!

Why is collagen so popular these days?

Why is collagen so popular these days?

  Before I get into today’s topic, I would ask that we all take a moment of reflection and prayer for those who lost their lives 22 years ago today in the 9/11 tragedy, as well as their loved ones.    ***********  It amuses me when a food or nutrient explodes in popularity, and people talk about it as if it’s something new.  A perfect example here is collagen.  Collagen has been around for as long...
