Are We Overmedicated? The Hidden Nutrient Cost of Common Drugs
Over the last 20 years that I’ve worked in the nutrition field, I’ve spoken with people from all walks of life dealing with a wide range of health issues. And honestly, I can count on one hand the number of people I’ve consulted with who weren’t taking at least one medication.

A sneaky factor behind our obesity explosion
Here’s an eye-opening statistic--currently, nearly eight out of 10 Americans are overweight or obese. And those numbers are not going down. Of course, the begging question here is: What in the world is going on? Why is it our “new normal” to be overweight? Well, there are a lot of factors behind the scenes, including processed/fast foods, lack of exercise, exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, chronic stress and the resulting elevated cortisol levels, and our...
