Here at the Sears Institute we have lunch together on Fridays. It’s my way of saying thank you to my staff for all their hard work. To replace the “missing food group” in our modern diet, I served all kinds of organ meat at our last catered lunch. And of course, our meal is Primal… with lots of high-quality protein …
Not long ago, one of my staff came into my office to talk to me. But she was having a hard time because it was “so embarrassing…” Now, Sandy and I are close. She worked with me for 10 years. Before that, she was a patient. So I couldn’t understand why she was having such a tough time telling me …
When I was in medical school, I learned about a real-life Indiana Jones. Like me, he didn’t subscribe to the mainstream way of medicine. He truly wanted to find out what makes people healthy. This renegade researcher traveled the globe to finally discover a missing nutrient lacking in today’s modern food supply. I’m talking about Dr. Weston Price. Dr. Price …
Today’s world is hard on your gut. In fact, it’s downright hostile… It starts with a modern diet that’s high in fake fats, chemical additives and carbage — the starchy, processed and over-industrialized junk that passes for food today. Not only do these fake foods hurt your health, they destroy your gut. Let me explain… Your body is host to …
The New York State Supreme Court recently joined forces with the FDA to declare war on salt. Yet, new research confirms what I’ve been telling patients for years… eating too little salt can cause insulin resistance, weight gain, diabetes, fatigue and more. It can even cause high blood pressure, which is precisely what a low-salt diet is supposed to prevent. …
I have uncovered shocking evidence that our ancestors ate an entirely different food group than we do today… One that helped them to thrive in very challenging environments. I call this the “missing” food group because it has pretty much disappeared from our modern diet. And when it comes to optimal nutrition, we’ve simply been making do ever since. Let …
I’ve been shouting from the rooftops about how your food safety is at risk because of Big Agra’s urge to put profits ahead of your health. Now a brand-new study published by Consumer Reports magazine found that most meat sold in America’s supermarkets is full of dangerous illegal drugs.1 The researchers gathered data on 6,000 samples from poultry, beef and …
An old-fashioned disease once associated with seafaring explorers is making a huge comeback in the U.S. and other developed nations around the world. This condition — which we barely touched on when I was in medical school because it was so uncommon — has shot up nearly 30% in recent years.1 It comes with a long list of unusual symptoms …
The food police here in the U.S. try to make you feel guilty about caffeine. Your cardiologist will even tell you to switch to decaf. But for 20 years, I’ve been saying caffeine is good for you. And a new study proves it’s especially good for your heart. Researchers from Germany showed that caffeine can improve heart function in older …
I remember when I told my grandfather I was going to medical school… He replied: “There are more old wine drinkers than there are old doctors.” My grandfather liked to quote provocative sayings. But it turns out that in this case, and a lot of times, Grandpa was right. The resveratrol in red wine provides powerful anti-aging qualities. Today’s modern …
Not long ago, I overheard some of my staff in the conference room talking about the American Heart Association’s latest dire warning about the “dangers of coconut oil.” I got up from my desk and joined them. This kind of misinformation makes me furious… Especially coming from an organization that sells itself on looking out for the public’s heart health. …
It was one of the worst cases of nutritional deficiency ever recorded in modern history… More than 10 million Chinese children were born mentally retarded because they were missing one simple mineral in their diet. For decades, whole villages in China were populated with mentally stunted people. A shocking number of children were born with I.Q.s only in the low …
One of my favorite things to do on the 4th of July is to have a backyard BBQ with family and friends. There’s nothing better than a juicy burger from the grill topped with bacon and cheese. But it seems like almost every time I have a large group of people over for a cookout, one or two always ask …
I recently shared with my Ageless Beauty Secrets readers how white wine is worse for your teeth than red wine. I wanted to get this information out as soon as I could… Many of my patients were telling me that they quit drinking red wine — despite its many heart and brain benefits — because they thought it was bad …
Alternative milks are little more than flavored water. Take almond milk… it contains more water, sweeteners, thickeners and additives than actual almonds. In fact, this “milk” only contains about 2% almonds in the average carton — that’s about a handful of nuts. And it’s really expensive! Two ounces of almonds costs around 40 cents. But a half-gallon of almond milk …
Breakthrough research from Yale University found that a certain kind of bacteria can “jump” from your gut to other organs. This triggers inflammation, which in turn causes autoimmune disease.1 Autoimmune disease is a modern-day epidemic. In fact, more people have an autoimmune disease than cancer, heart disease and diabetes COMBINED! But Big Pharma’s solution to stopping autoimmune disease — prescribing …
A remarkable study found that combining a nutrient found in beef with blueberries can send your energy levels skyrocketing. It does this by supercharging your stem cells more than 80%.1 This is particularly important because, as you age, your stem cells don’t work as well as they once did. I found this research fascinating… Because it’s not my goal as …
Louise is a patient at my clinic here in South Florida. When she first came to see me, she was dangerously overweight and suffering from hypertension, inflammation and sky-high blood sugar levels. Over the years, she had tried to lose weight on other diets. And they all worked… for a little while. But she always ended up gaining back the …
