The pharmaceutical establishment knows lifestyle is the key to reversing chronic disease- but there is no money in reversing it.  But keeping it chronic so that people need the drugs, now that’s the ticket.  Yes, diet and lifestyle works but you get 5 dollars for lifestyle research, but you can $150 million for drugs that have payback.  Inherent bias. Follow the money. I know as a dietitian, insurance companies would reimburse about as much as a fast food worker wage- no money in that. When you can prescribe statins, surgery, 3-4 or 15 drugs, all the things the medical infrastructure is designed for, the profit is extraordinary.

Maybe you struggle with cravings for chocolate, bread, pizza, pasta, cookies, chips, alcohol, - anything really.  Well, today is the day for you! I am going to give you the latest on what we know about controlling those impulses so you can stay on track with your health goals. Or maybe you are tired of taking the weight loss shot and you want to naturally control your cravings.  Today I am going to give you the tools to use to change the story of your health- put you back in the driver’s seat- naturally.

This month is heart health month and is the leading cause of death, we need to know as much as about it as we can so we can avoid it.  Cardiovascular disease (CVD) can be caused by multiple factors, - all those factors that I talk about every week, - inflammation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and more. Even Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol play a critical role in cardiovascular health. Yes, Preventable!

I witnessed the recent Senate hearings for the Secretary of Health and Human Services that were not just contentious—they were revealing. They laid bare a system where corporate interests, shall I say greed, often outweigh public health. Where pharmaceutical giants dictate policy through political contributions and therefore influence. Where the very officials meant to serve the people are entangled in financial ties that put profits over patients. Then…. I was at the gate as the airline tragedy transpired. Compare and contrast the behavior.

A lot of you are wanting to get the new year with super healthy goals and I want to give you the tools to really dive into your metabolic health by looking at your yearly blood work.  This bloodwork evaluation will let you know if you are one of the 6% of Americans who are METABOLICALLY WELL.

Some real statistics that underscore the decline in American health- Current government data says that 75% of Americans overweight. 45% of kids from the latest new data!   And over 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy which is what my latest 10 day challenge, called the MYHA Challenge that targeted the root causes behind either high blood sugar, cholesterol, high blood pressure, overweight, heart attack or stroke. And more…..60% of Americans have a chronic disease because of the of ultra-processed food that has taken over in the last 20-30 years that is the driver for metabolic health.

I normally do new year’s resolutions this time of year and give you the state of health in Americans but we have covered that a lot and so many of you are finishing up my 10 Day MYHA Challenge- Making You healthy Again and one of the favorite topics we covered was stress and how to defuse it. Breathwork, meditation, and life schedule adjustments.

The Make America Healthy Again movement- MAHA!  You didn’t know it but I have been teaching you all about the Maha movement for years.  I got all the authentic credentials, I go to all the best conferences and link up with the best minds so that I can bring you the latest, best research that you can use it to get and stay super healthy and fit for life. And cutting edge too.
