How to improve your lifespan with one simple move

If you’ve been reading my blogs lately, you’ll know that lifespan isn’t quite as important as healthspan. Healthspan, is the amount of our lives that we spend being healthy and fully functional.

The best savory snack with a hint of sweet to keep your energy balanced all day

I've been eager to make this for quite a while. I had learned about it from a podcast a couple of months ago. So I tried it yesterday with some slight alterations. I actually had a frog this morning because I didn't have time for my usual breakfast. And I realized at 11am I hadn't even thought about food. Read more

How this nearly invisible speck could be hijacking your energy

For me it started in middle school. It was awful. It could last for months on end. And I had no idea that I was just making it worse. It is so common that it is likely that either you or someone in your family has it. And there is such a simple solution, but almost no one knows about it. Read more

How this simple lab test can reveal the cause of your fatigue…and your weight gain.

A friend of mine told me about this new book about a month ago. It was by a neurologist I have great respect for, David Perlmutter. I have heard him speak in person several times and basically trust anything he has to say. I nearly fell off my chair when I read some of the things he was saying. There was a new marker - using an old test - that could reveal information that could help me help my patients even more. I got so excited, I started testing all my current patients for it. All of these conditions have this marker in common: Read more

Could this tiny gland be the reason you feel so terrible?

The average thyroid gland weighs about as much as a tablespoon of almond butter. But the thyroid gland, unlike almond butter, has an almost infinite impact on the way your body functions.

It will only work if you plug it in - just like your cells, they will only work if they’ve got some thyroid hormones plugged in. Read more

The original recipe only had one egg. I also learned from this patient that pink salmon is called dog salmon. Meaning, in Alaska, they feed it to dogs! No wonder I've never liked canned salmon. So! I now buy sockeye salmon from Vital Choice. And I love it! And I would have added a photo, but I keep forgetting to take one! Read more
