Ditch the pink ribbons & prevent breast cancer

Ditch the pink ribbons & prevent breast cancer

  October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and everywhere you go, you see pink ribbons symbolizing monies donated for breast cancer research. Let’s look at this “research,” shall we? BILLIONS of research dollars have been raised over the last several decades to “find the cure,” yet cancer is still our number 2 killer. So, what have all these billions of dollars bought us? Lots of pretty pink ribbons? And the maddening thing here is...

Are your meds making you sicker?

Are your meds making you sicker?

  Although there are times when medications are necessary and appropriate, as a society we’ve gone way overboard and are increasingly relying on drugs to “create health” for us. I’ve heard people say things like they are in “good health” because their blood pressure is controlled with beta blockers, their cholesterol is under 200 with statins, proton pump inhibitors keep their acid reflux quiet, and sedatives help them sleep. THAT’S good health? No—that’s a chemically...

Do you get enough of these longevity nutrients?

Do you get enough of these longevity nutrients?

  Today is my birthday and while the thought of turning 62 can be a bit unsettling, I am thankful for all of my incredible blessings—my family, my cats, my God, the martial arts, and of course, great health! I love being able to say that I’m in my 60s, take no medications, easily maintain my weight, have boatloads of energy and can still run and do full-contact sparring…and I have no intention of stopping...

How much vitamin D do you really need?

How much vitamin D do you really need?

    We recently received a question about the vitamin D3 dose in our Optimum DK Formula. The reader was wondering if the 5,000 IUs of vitamin D was “too much,” especially considering that her doctors have told her not to take more than 2,000 IUs of vitamin D per day and that research from Harvard indicated the upper-level max was 4,000 IUs. That’s a great question, and I’m sure others may be wondering about...

Your better health is just 4 simple steps away!

Your better health is just 4 simple steps away!

    In addition to being my birth month, August is also National Wellness Month. While that sounds very nice and virtuous, I’m sorry, but I don’t see a lot of “wellness” going on around me. I observe people everywhere I go, and more often than not, I see vast numbers of folks that are overweight, struggling to walk and/or “waddling,” while in obvious pain or physical discomfort, laboring to breathe, have unhealthy looking skin, using...
