This is the best medicine of all!
That statement probably has you pondering. What would you consider to be the best medicine of all? Many people would say antibiotics. They’ve saved lives, but they have also been way overprescribed. As a result, they have destroyed many gut microbiomes and spurred the development of “Superbugs” that resist even our strongest antibiotics and can pose a threat to your life. Others may say proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). In fairness, these drugs do...
Do you have high levels of this “silent killer”?
April is Stress Awareness Month. While I think most of us are pretty well aware of stress, I suspect many people might not know just how harmful it can be, especially when it’s chronic and ongoing. Although the medical community calls high blood pressure the “silent killer,” I think that term better applies to stress, since stress is something we ALL deal with. Let’s look at what stress really is, all the ways it...
Got belly fat? Here’s how to get rid of it!

Don’t take your lungs for granted!
As much as I wish I could say otherwise, the inspiration for today’s blog comes from two people who are very dear to me.

Got gout? End it in 24 hours or less!
Over 8 million people in the US suffer regular attacks of pain, swelling and inflammation in their joints, otherwise known as gout. That might not sound like a huge number, but the prevalence of gout more than doubled between the 1970s and 1990s, so clearly something is up. Gout by far affects more men than women by about a 3 to 1 ratio. Gout is typically the result of one of two things—too much...

At last-real relief for painful periods!
I think it’s safe to say that most women (yours truly included) have experienced at least some degree of menstrual cramps in their lives, which can range from mild discomfort to serious pain. But one out of five women suffers from extremely severe pain to the point where it is debilitating, otherwise known as dysmenorrhea. In addition to the pain, symptoms of dysmenorrhea can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, irritability, weakness and even fainting...
