Dear Reader,
Staying lean remains one of my top health concerns. It probably ought to be high on your list too. Outrageous claims by fat loss products are everywhere. Today’s Doctor’s House Call is the first of a two-part series that takes at look these “fat burners.”
Let’s take the top selling over-the-counter diet pill, CortiSlim. Their [...]
Dear Reader:
I have proof that people are overeating low-fat foods because they think they’re healthier.
Researchers had people watch TV with bags of granola as snacks1. One bag was labeled, “Low-fat Rocky Mountain Granola.” The other, “Regular Rocky Mountain Granola.”
People who chose low-fat ate 32% more than those who ate the regular granola did.
They repeated [...]
Dear Reader,
I’ve been telling my patients and readers, “Aerobics is dead.” Now, the New York Times finally agrees – but for the wrong reason…
“Whatever Happened to Jane Fonda in Tights?” just ran in the New York Times Sunday Magazine1 but instead of revealing the real dangers of aerobics, they focused on former aerobics instructors who [...]
Dear Reader:
If you have extra fat around the middle, you may not realize you’re at risk for diabetes. The first phase of this disease – prediabetes – is a silent condition and has no symptoms.
And it’s not just the precursor to the full-blown disease. It’s a real threat to your health – even if you [...]
Dear Reader,
There is a simple truth about your diet and your health:
We have been deceived into eating way too much carbohydrate.
A new study “proves” this to my satisfaction but will not end the controversy because financial incentives distort this simple truth.
You will hear results from a new study in this week’s JAMA by researchers at [...]
Dear Reader,
Today, I want to give you a great, often overlooked tool to get lean and stay slim.
If you’ve joined my Dr. Sears’ Fat Loss Challenge, congratulations… you’re well on your way to a lean, fat-free body. (If you haven’t, there’s still time. And you could win $5,000!)
To help you achieve your fat-loss goals, [...]
Dear Reader,
Test results from my Wellness Research Foundation show 82% of my patients have less than optimal CoQ10 levels.
I already knew most people are deficient, but these numbers are sobering… The lower your level of CoQ10, the higher your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Researchers reporting in Clinical Cardiology found that 62% of [...]
Dear Reader,
Did you play video games as a child? They weren’t around until I was in college. But one thing for sure – kids all over the country are spending a lot of time playing these things now.
That’s a big change.
And with the arrival of ever better technologies, these games are increasingly [...]
Dear Reader,
I have written about the remarkable anti-aging powers of an ingredient in red wine called resveratrol. Since then, new studies have revealed even more about this remarkable antioxidant.
Resveratrol is most abundant in the skins of red grapes used to make red wine. It slows the buildup of platelets in blood vessels, making [...]
Dear Reader,
Today, I have something for you about a cactus from southern Africa that has made news as Nature’s “diet herb.”
If you’ve been watching the news, you’ve probably heard of it. It’s been featured on 60 Minutes, the Today show, ABC and Oprah. Many claim it works wonders. Others say it doesn’t work at all. [...]
Ditch those tiresome aerobic workouts! They’re actually making your heart and lungs smaller – and increasing your risk of disease. And jumping around for 45 minutes to an hour or more is not helping you lose weight, either!
At last! Dr. Sears’ patented PACE® program is available to you right now! For the first time, YOU [...]
Dear Member,
In your last Doctor’s House Call, I told you about the first government food pyramid and why eating more carbs is NOT the way to lose fat.
Today, I’ll:
Show you why the new food pyramid is not much better.
Give you some new strategies for building your own food pyramid – one that works.
Show [...]
Dear Member,
What if getting your five daily servings of fruits and vegetables was as easy as drinking a glass of juice?
I recently created a formula of powerful “green foods” that can do just that. All you have to do is mix in two teaspoons and you’re done!
Even if you love fruits and vegetables, this breakthrough [...]
Dear Member,
Back in the early 1900s, pathologists made a startling discovery: The major arteries of people who died of alcoholic liver cirrhosis were “clean” – meaning free of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). At the time, scientists were unable to put their finger on the reason. Some theorized that alcohol worked as a kind of [...]
Dear Member,
Another hyped-as-blockbuster drug has just bit the dust. Pfizer’s withdrew its new statin drug torcetrapib, after trials revealed an increased risk of heart problems and death.1
This was the first statin designed to raise your levels of HDL (good cholesterol). Conventional statins work to lower levels of LDL (bad cholesterol).
Drug companies have tried to set [...]
