I Found the Pearl of Africa

I’ve been to some of the most beautiful places on Earth. But I made my home base for my trip to Africa near Kampala, Uganda, because it’s by far the most incredible landscape I’ve ever seen. It’s the heart of Africa, and it’s unique because it’s where the dense, Western forest meets the dry savannah. [...]

The Healers Invited Me, and I’m Humbled

Later this week, I have a meeting with a unique and respected African healer, Dr. Sekagya Yahaya Hills. I wanted to meet with Dr. Sekagya because I identify with him.

A professor doing population studies discovered this curious fact. After watching this group and comparing them to others, he found something unique about their diet: The locals use a paste derived [...]

What I Found in My Travels…

I just got back from climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa. Traveling around the world always reminds me of the important healing traditions found in other cultures.

For example, I’ve come across natural nutrients that speed up fat-burning and decrease your appetite… even when you don’t change your routine.

These are important discoveries. Because no matter how much I talk to patients about diet and exercise, they still want a “magic pill.”…
