Got gas?  This could be why

Got gas? This could be why

  I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I said that virtually 100 percent of my clients report at least occasional gas and bloating…and probably at least half suffer from painful beach-ball belly on a regular basis. What makes this difficult is that there is a multitude of possible reasons why flatulence is your friend and bloating is your buddy…so getting to the bottom of it can be tricky. Conditions that can cause chronic gas and bloating...

Why your weight loss resolution failed AGAIN

Why your weight loss resolution failed AGAIN

  If you are among the 45 percent of Americans (which includes a whopping 86 percent of millennials) that made a New Year’s resolution 43 days ago, chances are excellent at that time that you were envisioning a slimmer version of yourself in the mirror by now.

Why statins are a joke and heart healthy fats are BS

Why statins are a joke and heart healthy fats are BS

  February is American Heart Month, and this year’s marks the 57th consecutive heart health month since President Lyndon B. Johnson (a heart attack survivor) issued the first proclamation in 1964. Unfortunately, much of the hype that will be bombarding us this month has very little to do with actual heart health! As usual, we’ll all be reminded to wear red, to control our cholesterol (with statins, of course) and avoid saturated fats while using...

Surprising causes (and real answers!) for depression

Surprising causes (and real answers!) for depression

  Depression affects nearly 350 million people worldwide, and those numbers have continued to rise over the last several decades. As a matter of fact, depression is now the #1 leading cause of disability, replacing chronic back pain and arthritis. Recently, it’s gotten even worse—during the COVID-19 lockdowns it was estimated that US cases of depression nearly tripled! Depression is very difficult to treat because it’s not a “cut-and-dry” illness…and sadly that means many people...
