In my 17-year nutrition career, I’ve had several experiences that I will label “unsettling.” For example, I once had a client whose told me her friend had suffered a heart attack. Apparently, the friend had been taking a multi-vitamin and her doctor actually scolded her for it, saying she doesn’t need “that crap” and her diet will give her “all the nutrients she needs.” Sorry doc, but you’re all wet, and it’s painfully obvious you...

I remember having a conversation with a woman who told me how fortunate she felt to be in good health in her early 60's.

Eight out of ten of us are medicated, and over half of us take two or more medications each day. What in the world is going ON? Well,...
