I just finished a large amount of research and writing about chronic fatigue and chronic pain syndromes. While conventional medicine does not offer many options, functional medicine does. Did you know that many people with these conditions genetically lack the capacity to detoxify efficiently and end up holding onto toxins from mold, environmental chemicals, food etc. This reduces the body's ability to generate energy and triggers a constant immune response leading to chronic inflammation. If you are suffering, find a functional medicine doctor, get the proper tests to establish the root cause of your condition and implement therapies that support your body's natural ability to detox and heal!

Chronic fatigue makes people unable to get out of bed for weeks, and there's little research money devoted to the disease. These patients are trying to change that.

I think of this concept every time I watch a 90 year old Italian walk up hill for 20 minutes to collect their fresh food from the produce shop, butcher and baker every morning. Real food, daily movement, clean air and water are the keys to health. They beat out any prescription!

At IFM’s 2018 AIC, learn how to translate the data into actions that can prevent, treat, and reverse the triggers and mediators of autoimmune disease in patients.

Your body is a complicated biochemical, hormonal soup controlled mostly by what you eat. Our gene expression, our hormones, our immune system, our gut flora, our brain chemistry, our muscle mass, our metabolism and more are all changed with every single bite of food. Food is the code that programs your biology. You can literally upgrade or downgrade your biological software with every bite you take. Food is information that can beneficially modulate thousands of genes and enhance the function of dozen of hormones and regulate tens of thousands of protein networks and can prevent, cure and even reverse most chronic disease. And it works faster, better and is cheaper than any other drug. The food industry likes to trick us into thinking that eating healthy is expensive, but this is far from the truth. Relying on inexpensive, overly processed food is tempting, given our demanding lifestyles and schedules, but the cost to our health is quite large. Feasting on the sodium, fat and sugar bombs disguised as food can lead to serious diseases that cost hundreds of dollars in doctor’s visits and prescription drugs. My new book, "Food: What the Heck Should I Eat" contains easy to understand scientific information about what to eat and avoid, and my hope is that it empowers you to make the best food choices to lose weight, reduce disease, positively impact the environment, and feel better, while knowing you are serving the healthiest foods for you and your loved ones.

If you are one of those blog followers that love wellness experts that have everything mastered, you are going to want to unsubscribe to my blog. While it is true that I have earned a Master's Degree in wellness, officially Functional Medicine and Nutrition which is basically the scientific approach to optimal wellness, I am still a human. This means that although I know countless facts and figures about what it takes to live to 120 and feel amazing every day, I carry the habits of my childhood and the reptile brain of my ancestors.
