We live in a world where we aim to live healthy and yet we ignore science, wisdom and act rather idiotic. Here is my cynical podcast about modern nutrition and aging. How food choices in early age will benefit health later. #epigenetics from the perspective of #TCM and the #foodscience available today to #slowaging #nutritionfacts #nutrition #TCMchef #chefraphael #cancerawareness #digestion #brainfoods

Casual chat with Past Mayor of West Hollywood John D'Amico. Swerving from arthritis and Dupuytren's contracture to healthy lifestyle choices and learning that corn syrup is about as unhealthy as Maple syrup... John is aware of his family health history and keeps himself physically and mentally active. His lifestyle choices include voiding highly processed foods. Enjoy his sense of humor and simply listen to our friendly chat away from politics... Refreshing and fun! #artritis #dupuytrens #TCMchef #cornsyrup #lifestyle #mayorofwesthollywood #California #cornsyrup #chefGamon

Doctor Richard Isaacson, M.D., spoke on CNN and made me ponder why research hardly ever includes categorizing people who participate by their eating habits. We have enough understanding to adapt to the fact that our brains are directly influenced by the foods we consume, the sounds we listen to, and the lifestyle choices we make. Pharmaceutical companies bank on the fact that they can profit more lucratively in the long term by skipping to include a food-related health adjustment. I find such research questionably faulty.

A fun and uplifting chat with Mrs Rita Thomas about working as Estate Manager/Butler in various HNWI households - a professional "DownTown Abbey" view from behind the scenes. 
We 're keeping it light and chirp, since working on our level in this business, there is no chance we would burn a bridge, yet - our stories reflect a Billionair's lifestyle that often seems unrelated to the people that keep their households afloat and running smoothly.
Mrs Thomas is a story teller, showtime singing friend and it is with great pleasure to share 30 minutes on the open mic with her.

Check out her website www.IKnowYourDirt.com and leave us a comment.
Greatly appreciated!

Where does the carrot come from, and what was its original color? What is the other tuber related to the carrot? 
From Dutch history to Shakespeare and the epidemiology of the word 
orange. How did the Romans eat carrots, and what are the traditional Chinese medicine benefits of consuming carrots? Can you eat carrot greens? Are they healthy?

I love discussing history and combining my podcasts with facts about ancient cuisine and my passion for cooking. You might even learn something about my love for skulls!

And since I have been asked to share references, I have one attached here...

I'm using the recent confession of Mrs.Celine's dilemma to dive into the gut microbial household. Her admittance that she is suffering from SPS (stiff Person syndrome), a devastating effect not fully understood by modern medicine, could be linked to the damage done by eating an extreme regimen. Working as a private chef and having a good understanding of fusing the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine with food science: I'm looking at her dilemma from an osteopathic perspective. I can see parallel health issues that derive from choices made to starve a body of essential fuel and then having to substitute with pharmaceutical, chemically designed components that can never fully replace the symbiosis of a healthy digestive tract. Although many consume chemically produced and bioengineered replacements, the end-consumers will never understand the consequences of their choices because of the lack of clear regulations and a controlling pharma machine. GABA is one highlighted product that sounds confusing but is added to plenty of "health products." Maybe this is the first time you learn that this could be the "Aspertam AHA realization" - at least understand how microbes function in your pipes.

Kidney Stones come in a variety of forms and causes. With alternative methods modern medicine can be assisted by adjusting food and water intake and make renal deposits/problems more manageable.  Carmen is sharing her experience and how with Vinegar and parsley she has helped reducing and maybe even preventing further complications.
