Dear Reader,
Most of us think of malnourishment as something that happens to starving people in Africa or third-world countries, not here in America. But, my research shows that many here are indeed overfed yet under-nourished.
How can that happen in the land of plenty?
For one thing, we are eating too many of what some of us [...]
Dear Reader,
In case you haven’t heard – There are a diverse group of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that protect your cells from the fire of living.
What do I mean by “fire of living?” I’m talking about the burn of metabolism. Your body uses oxygen to convert fuel into usable energy through a process of “oxidation.” [...]
Dear Reader,
Going organic is a good idea… Organic foods are higher in nutritional content, from vitamins and minerals to antioxidants.
They’re also free of pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, and other toxins that cause hormonal imbalances, many kinds of cancer, birth defects, and other serious illnesses.
But organic food isn’t always easy to find and the labels can be [...]
Dear Reader,
Ever walk into a room and forget why you went in there? My patients joke and call it a “senior” moment, but the fact is that it’s really no joking matter.
For one thing, more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease and it’s currently incurable. That’s why it’s important to do what you can [...]
Dear Reader,
You probably haven’t heard a big media buzz about it. That’s because Western medicine still doesn’t know much about herbs.

But most people don’t do it right.
One of the most important keys is to [...]
Dear Reader,
I read a piece in New York Magazine that had me shaking my head.
In a nut shell the author, Gary Taubes, claims that exercise doesn’t work. Fat people stay fat, and lean people stay lean. All exercise does is burn a few calories, then boost your appetite and make you want to eat more. [...]
Dear Reader,
I’ve had more than a few patients come to me saying they have trouble doing everyday stuff. I’m talking regular things like carrying groceries, getting up the stairs or working in their gardens.
You can get stronger and more flexible without lifting weights or twisting your body into weird yoga postures.
Calisthenics are one of my [...]
Dear Reader,
Did you know that every vitamin you take can be measured in your blood?
When a patient comes to my Wellness Center for the first time, I always run some routine blood work. Your doctor probably does, too. One of the first things I test for are blood levels for all vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and [...]
