It’s July 10, so that means that my sister Nancy turns 52, Playing Card Year! She’ll get a pack in purple, her favorite color, and I’m wearing it today. It was 90 degrees on this day, so I talked about hydration. Good ol’ coconut water, trace minerals, salt, plain old water, sport drinks. Also taking […]

Today we mentioned that we feel sad that our president feels the need to have a very militarily-based event in Washington, DC, reminiscent of more authoritarian regimes, and that some of our military will have to staff this event instead of being home with their families. We are also very concerned that the price of […]

Here’s some common sense thinking about cholesterol, its role in your body, whether you should be taking statin drugs to lower it. It’s not as simple as just having low cholesterol to prevent cardiovascular disease. We give a good review of the latest in testing for cholesterol and cardiovascular inflammation markers.

I answered a caller question about what to do about bladder stones (saw palmetto, hydrangea, corn silk, Stone Breaker, WATER). I also talked about cautions and caveats with taking high blood pressure meds, anti-depressants, and statins for cholesterol.

Once again, I interview my friend and colleague Karl Goldkamp, N.D. again, who talks more about the ketogenic diet and how it can be helpful for inflammatory conditions. He also talks about how it works in terms of macronutrients, and the hormones insulin, glucagon and cortisol. It seems that it’s not right for everyone but […]

I had eaglemoon raes on again this week. She does hypnotherapy and also teaches people the Emotional Freedom Technique, known as EFT or just Tapping. It’s so simple and so powerful! It’s a system where you tap on several acupressure points while saying affirmations for things you want to change or transform in your body […]

Since I had my dental checkup today, I talked about basic dental hygiene practices, why they’re important, and some new stuff I learned today! Like flossing with cardamom and also calcium phosphate paste, and making sure to drink WATER after eating sweets. And brush your teeth or at least clear your mouth last thing before […]

I talked about the difference between protein and collagen, mostly the specific amino acids, and all the reasons they’re good for you. Protein helps you build muscle, burn more fat, and feel fuller! Collagen helps to rebuild hair skin nails organs joints. What could be bad!
