Are Nutrient Deficiencies Making You Sick?

Are Nutrient Deficiencies Making You Sick?

  I think it’s fair to say that sickness and disease have been normalized to a large degree in our society today. In fact, we’ve reached the point where you’re considered an oddball if you don’t have something wrong with you or aren’t taking medications! Let me remind you of these truths: Disease is not normal. It’s not a reflection of your body needing a drug. It’s not something expected as you age. And it’s...

10 warning signs you shouldn’t ignore

10 warning signs you shouldn’t ignore

  I would suspect that most people don’t wish to overreact to every little ache, pain and symptom that may pop up and instead try to “wait it out” and hope that the issue resolves itself. But there are certain signals your body may be giving you that you definitely should not ignore. Although some of the possible causes behind these symptoms can be relatively minor, they may also mean something more serious that should...

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!

 *Important general office-hours announcement at the end - Please read through* I once had a client who told me that when she mentioned to her doctor that she was taking a multi-vitamin, he basically scolded her and said she “doesn’t need that crap.” Interesting perspective.  Not only are vitamins NOT a bunch of crap, but our need for non-food sources of nutrients has continued to expand.

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...

What does your tongue say about your health?

What does your tongue say about your health?

  Modern medicine uses a very pinpointed approach and typically narrows its diagnostic efforts on the “troublesome spot.” For example, if you go to the doctor reporting abdominal pain and diarrhea, you’ll likely get tests aimed at the gut, such as a lower GI series, ultrasound, colonoscopy or maybe a barium enema. On the other hand, traditional medicine (which includes acupuncture and Ayurveda) looks at the entire body as a series of parts and systems...
