Read this before you take a statin for cholesterol!
I would venture to say that there is no subject on God’s green earth that is as poorly understood as cholesterol. When talking about cholesterol, the extent of most people’s understanding is that it’s the demon that leads to heart disease and the magic number to strive for is 200, baby. And if your blood tests show you’re in the elevated range, welcome to the world of statins. But how did we get here? ...
The top 3 health atrocities people see as “normal”
New! Holistic Blends is testing the option to listen to select blogs. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section of the blog below.

Because it’s entirely possible that you can consult a doctor, go through a...
Osteoporosis facts drug companies don’t want you to know
Following my move to Florida last fall, I was recently faced with the task of finding a new doctor…and I’m thankful to have had the good fortune to locate an outstanding integrative physician here in the Melbourne area.

A harmful trend that’s on the rise
As you can probably surmise, after being in the health field for several decades, I’ve pretty much seen and heard it all. But what troubles me is the fact that there are current trends in health that I am seeing, both in my own clients and in the literature that I review, that go from mildly disturbing to downright shocking.

The real culprit behind high blood pressure (Hint: it’s not salt)
As of this writing, an incredible, unprecedented 116 million American adults have high blood pressure (hypertension). That’s just a hair shy of 50 percent of us! Out of those 116 million, only about 29 million (1 out of 4) have it under control. 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...
