Dr. Joseph Mercola - Take Control of Your Health

In this best of series episode, Dr. Chris Knobbe, an ophthalmologist, discusses some of the eye-opening information found in his book, "Ancestral Dietary Strategy to Prevent and Treat Macular Degeneration."

In this interview, professor Mark Crispin Miller, Ph.D., provides us with a startling example of a crackdown on academic freedom, with dire implications for free speech in America today. Ironically, it was his teaching students how to question propaganda, and to resist it, that brought on the curtailment of his academic freedom, after over 20 years of teaching that important subject at New York University.

In this best of series interview, Dr. Stasha Gominak, a neurologist and sleep coach, explains the curious synergy between vitamin D deficiency, a changed microbiome and poor sleep.

In this best of series, Dr. Dominik Nischwitz, author of "It's All in Your Mouth: Biological Dentistry and the Surprising Impact of Oral Health on Whole Body Wellness," discusses his "all-in-one" holistic treatment program, and why addressing your oral health can have far-reaching whole body benefits.

In this best of interview, Ronnie Cummins, founder of the Organic Consumers Association, discusses his new book "Grassroots Rising: A Call to Action on Climate, Farming, Food and a Green New Deal."

In this interview, Susan Wadia-Ells, Ph.D., discusses breast cancer as an unnecessary U.S. epidemic and how to prevent it, which is the topic of her book, "Busting Breast Cancer: Five Simple Steps to Keep Breast Cancer Out of Your Body." This year alone, an expected 300,000 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Another 50,000 are projected to be diagnosed with non-invasive breast cancer, which in all likelihood isn't cancer at all.

Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist and Professor Emeritus at the University of California, San Francisco, has written a number of excellent books about health. His latest, "Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine" goes deep into the details of how changes in our food supply have damaged our metabolic health. (The created term "metabolical" is actually a portmanteau of the words "metabolic" and "diabolical.")

Blood flow restriction (BFR) training, which I perceive to be the greatest innovation in exercise training in the last century, was developed in Japan by Dr. Yoshiaki Sato in 1966. There, it's known as KAATSU.

Aside from dramatically improving muscle tone, BFR is also a wonderful tool for post-surgical rehabilitation, allowing you to regain physical function in a fraction of the time that you would normally anticipate.

In this best of episode, natural health expert and Mercola.com founder Dr. Joseph Mercola interviews Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt on the importance of detoxification for general health, and how to detoxify water-soluble and fat-soluble toxins.
