I often hear patients comment that they feel younger than they actually are. I use a Tanita scale that helps to determine your biological age. Over the years I have ranged from 18yo to as high as 36yo despite having a biological age of 52. According to this article you can determine your biological age using standard blood work as well. (I will have to get the calculations for that).

Do you know your biological age.

A new study suggests that biological age improvements are tied to a reduced stroke risk and improved brain health, suggesting that certain lifestyle changes could help to cut stroke risk and protect the brain.

Millions of studies on sleep have been examined over decades. One thing that can be agreed upon is that sleep patterns with consistent bedtimes and wake-up times should be encouraged.

Researchers have found the optimal amount of sleep that is linked to the best level of insulin sensitivity, which comes to a little less than seven and a half hours.

Are you stuck in your healing? I like his closing remarks - “Do what you can, and let God do what you can’t”. Keeping in mind, you are first required to do everything you can do.

You know mental healing is possible—but something keeps getting in the way. The path forward doesn't have to stay out of reach. God wants to help you move pa...

Eating nutritious food is only half the equation; how you prepare it determines how much your body actually absorbs.

I always use olive oil as a dressing on my vegetables or I use ghee if I am preparing them for a higher temperature preparation.

Scientists found that kale’s prized nutrients are hard for the body to absorb unless they’re eaten with oil. Cooking doesn’t improve absorption, but adding oil-based dressings—or even more advanced nanoemulsion sauces—does. These combinations dramatically increase access to kale’s carote...

When it comes to knowing your Vitamin D status, stop guessing your dose and start testing. Get your 25(OH)D measured, identify where you actually fall, account for your individual factors, and retest after making changes. A number on a supplement bottle is not a substitute for knowing what your levels actually are.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient essential for calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism. Deficiency of this beneficial substance can lead to nutritional rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. In the 1930s, North America began fortifying milk with vitamin D to eradicate dietary rickets in....
