If you’re low in these, disease is practically a given
Although there are many “roads” that lead to disease (smoking, drug use, excessive alcohol use, having a nutrient-poor/junk food diet, chronic stress, and exposure to toxins), there is another one that very few people think of… But it’s arguably one the most common factors behind most illnesses! I’m talking about poor digestion. And if yours isn’t going along so well, you better be talking about it too. Fact is, you absolutely MUST have sound...
8 Signs you have leaky gut (and how to heal it)
Hippocrates, the Father of Modern Medicine, once said about 2,000 years ago, “All disease begins in the gut.” He was right on. When you consider all that, your gut does for you, it’s easy to see why Hippocrates zeroed in on it as the hot spot of health (or lack thereof).

A REAL breast cancer prevention plan
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and if I had my way, I would change that to Breast Cancer Prevention Month. Because billions of research dollars have been raised over the last several decades to “find the cure,” yet we are still faced with the fact that cancer is our number 2 killer.

Are you shortening your life in this way?
I’ll start your Wednesday with some shocking statistics. A recent JAMA study was conducted that showed children and teens get a whopping 67 percent (two-thirds) of their daily calories from highly processed foods! So, is it any wonder they’re depressed, can’t sit still or concentrate, and over half (54 percent) of them have at least one chronic disease? Adults are no better. Although as adults we “should” appreciate the importance of healthy food more...
