When I was 15 years old—just six months after my father died suddenly—my mother was diagnosed with colon cancer. I remember being absolutely terrified at the thought of losing both parents within a year. At the time, colon cancer felt like a complete mystery. Why my mom? Fast forward nearly 50 years, and it’s no longer a mystery. But that doesn’t mean we’ve won the war—quite the opposite. By the grace of God, my mom...

  For centuries, infectious diseases were the primary threat to human life. Then sanitation improved, nutrition advanced, and antibiotics emerged. But as one crisis faded, another quietly took its place. Today, we’re facing something far more insidious: chronic disease. Heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative conditions, and cancer now dominate the health landscape — despite unprecedented healthcare spending and pharmaceutical innovation.

  For some reason, February is loaded with major health-focused national recognitions. It’s both National Heart Month and National Cancer Prevention Month—addressing our number one and two causes of death.

For good reason. Most real, whole foods offer unique health benefits, and I typically encourage variety so your body’s nutrient needs are fully covered.

  Modern medicine has made incredible advances over the last century. We have more diagnostic tests, medications, and surgical tools than ever before. But there’s one critical area where we’ve fallen short: nutrition. Specifically, how nutrient deficiencies—like vitamin B12 deficiency—can be a major contributing factor to many chronic conditions.
