Paleo Diet: What It Is and How it Can Benefit You

Did you know that you’re, basically, still a “cave” man or woman? And that if you ate the kind of diet your ancient ancestors did you’d be healthier, look younger, have more muscle mass, more energy and live longer? You may be knitting your eyebrows wondering if all that’s too good to be true, but let me explain why it is. The Paleo-Diet Helps You Lose Weight, Stay Younger and Healthier Even in our technologically advanced age in 2013, the human body is, however, not as advanced. Your body is, basically, still the same old model humans had during the Paleolithic […]

What’s ORAC & Why Is It in My Food?

When I ask my patients how many ORACs they take in a day, they give me a kind of lost look. One patient humorously asked me once, “Is that some kind of fruit?” Well, yes and no. ORACs are in fruit – but they’re not a food per se. Let me share with you what I tell my patients about the ORAC value of foods and its importance to your health. What’s ORAC and Why Is It In My Food? ORAC is the acronym for Oxygen Radical Absorbency Capacity – an antioxidant measurement system developed by researchers at the National […]

Your Love of Sweets Could Be Souring Your Heart

I’m always counseling my patients on a heart-healthy diet. They’re often surprised to learn that the worst offender is not what they’ve always thought – fat. No, in fact, more and more research has shown that the amount of refined, unnatural sugar in your diet is the real culprit of damaging heart health. So, I’d like to share with you what I tell my patients about the damage that their love of sweets is doing to their heart – and the rest of them. Your Love of Sweets Is Souring Your Heart Health We all like a sweet treat once […]

Prevent Age-Related Disease by Adding More Flavonoids

Type 2 diabetes is running rampant in the United States, if not the world, today, particularly in the Boomer population. It’s one of the 4 diseases associated with aging and leads to the development of 2 of the others. It’s caused by too much refined sugar and carbohydrates in the diet as well as lack of exercise. In addition, deficiency in a certain food group, and its disease-fighting nutrients, can also lead to the development of type 2 diabetes as well as the other diseases of aging. They’re called flavonoids and I’d like to tell you more about the amazing […]

Brace Yourself – Tis the Season to Be Merry!

Here we go again, anticipating another holiday season. I can’t help but ask where did the time go? Is it just me or are you all feeling the same way? Seems I was just writing about how to set goals for the New Year and in a blink another year has slipped away. I always tell myself that next year will be different. I’ll slow down my pace for working, running, and doing so I can embrace all the precious moments the holiday season brings. Yet somehow, I’m right back in the same place wondering how in the world will […]

Glaucoma – Manage It For Better Eye Health

I frequently advise my over-40 patients that regular eye exams every 3-5 years should be part of your health maintenance. One of the most important reasons to receive regular eye care is to check for glaucoma – a build up of fluid pressure within the eye that can silently progress to vision loss! I write silently progress because glaucoma has very little noticeable signs or symptoms until it has reached an advanced stage and vision loss alerts you to its presence. In fact, glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness. However, progression of glaucoma can be prevented with early […]

Resveratrol: The Nutrient That Fights Bone Loss

Historians acknowledge the ancient Greek philosopher, Hippocrates, as the father of medicine. He’s perhaps most remembered by naturopathic physicians for his famous quote, “Let food be thy medicine”. As we get further into the 21st century, it’s amazing that instead of creating more synthetic drugs to treat conditions, medical researchers are more and more looking at what Nature has already created that we’re not using. That’s why I want to tell you about this “new” treatment for building bone density, especially in older men. It’s actually been in most of our diets for ages but we’re just starting to learn […]
