The real culprit behind high blood pressure (Hint: it’s not salt)
As of this writing, an incredible, unprecedented 116 million American adults have high blood pressure (hypertension). That’s just a hair shy of 50 percent of us! Out of those 116 million, only about 29 million (1 out of 4) have it under control. Note that the hypertension population got a big “boost” back in 2017 when the high blood pressure threshold was changed from 140/90 down to 130/80. When that occurred, the percentage of...
When run-of-the-mill acid reflux becomes deadly
If you’re one of the 66 million people in the US with acid reflux, you know the misery it causes. This can go WAY beyond a 4-alarm fire in your chest and include chest pain, regurgitation, coughing, difficulty swallowing and sore throat.

Let’s look at this silent and potentially deadly condition, as well...

Ladies: Here are 8 good reasons to see a gynecologist

Unfortunately, the less-than-pleasant experience of a GYN exam causes many women to procrastinate or avoid them like the plague. But that can come back to bite you, especially if...
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...
