I am often asked if I had to pick 3 supplements to take I always include EFAs (essential fatty acids) and here is one of the reasons.

Omega-3 DHA has been found to reduce Alzheimer's risk by 49%. As we know, lowering neuroinflammation in the brain plays a key role in fighting the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Obtaining this from your diet with wild-caught, low-mercury seafood is even better.

Don't give up. Even if you think you're at risk of early dementia or death because of your genetics or family history, it appears you can overcome your vulnerabilities with exercise. I know most of us wish there was a pill or a diet that would solve our problems but exercise comes up again and again as one of the most powerful things you have control over to improve your mental and physical health.

Higher rates of light physical activity and moderate-to-vigorous exercise were associated with a lower risk of death. Sedentary lifestyles were associated with a higher risk of death. The findings were consistent among women with different levels of genetic predispositions to longevity.

This is a pretty informative article that explains the problem with 'one size fits all' approaches to diet and lifestyle recommendations. Precision medicine offers some ideas on how we can do better.

“One-size-fits-all” approaches don’t work for clothes. So why should it work for nutrition and diets?

You've probably heard me preach the importance of making sure the supplements you buy are of great quality. I know, I know, the prices are so much different. You can not get a quality supplement for a discount price and you really should avoid Walgreens,Sams,CostCo,Target, even GNC. There is a reason a lot of medical doctors are not fans of supplements - they say "you are not even sure what you are getting or if it is doing any good" and they are right when it comes to cheap products. They are absolutely wrong if you only look at professional grade products. With the pandemic going on there are even more bad products on the market - so be aware! We, course, only sell professional grade products.

Maybe having a Traditional Chinese Medicine background has always led me to think that the full spectrum of chemicals in a plant are probably better than isolating just one. Here are some facts about Full Spectrum CBD products. We carry only full spectrum products in our office.

CBD, aka cannabidiol, has been the rage for a couple years now.

And it’s easy to see why:

It can also reduce anxious moods
It can drastically improve sleep
It helps with stiff joints and muscle pain
Many users claim it helps with skin irritation
Others take it for focus and memory

But two new cannabinoids are taking the country by storm.

Recent research has shown two recently discovered cannabinoids have incredible healing properties. They’re called CBC and CBG.

CBG: Boost your body’s “bliss molecule”

CBG stands for cannabigerol, and like CBD is non-psychoactive. It is commonly found in h**p plants. CBG-acid is the precursor to other cannabinoids and has been called the ‘stem-cell’ of all cannabinoids.

Mood: CBG has been shown to boost the body's production of anandamide, the bodies native ‘bliss molecule’
Brain health: It has also been shown to be a powerful neuroprotectant and can help with conditions affecting the brain and nervous system
Pain: Recent research has demonstrated the powerful pain-relieving effects of CBG
Eye health: CBG reduces intraocular pressure, associated with some eye conditions
Digestion: It has been shown to treat the root cause of bowel and digestive conditions
Antibiotic: CBG has been shown to have antibiotic and antibacterial properties

CBC: 10X more effective at improving mood

CBC, also known as cannabichromene, is also a natural oil found in the h**p plant. It has many therapeutic properties that were recently discovered.

Mood: A recent study showed CBC has 10x the effect of CBD on relieving depressed moods
Calm: Several studies have shown CBC to be an effective relaxant, making users feel at ease quickly
Pain: CBC has also been shown to have powerful pain-relieving effects
Brain Growth: CBC appeared to increase the viability of developing brain cells – a process known as neurogenesis.
Anti-virus and anti-microbial: It has been shown to be an effective anti-viral

They Go Best Together

The best news from this recent research is that CBC, CBG and CBD are most powerful when they are ingested together. One study showed that CBD was up to 3x more powerful when taken with CBC, CBG, and other natural cannabinoids.

This is called the ‘entourage effect’ and dozens of studies show it is now the most effective way to get the most out of a CBD supplement.

That’s why full-spectrum CBD is the only way to go (as millions of Americans are discovering).

Patients often ask me about injections in their neck, most often performed by a pain management specialist. This article explains the latest research on this treatment modality. I prefer less invasive methods to address both the chemical and the mechanical aspect of the pain (like cervical decompression and laser therapy).

You may have heard me advocate for this brain training app - BrainHQ. They just published another study and found that using it also helped with treatment resistant depression in older adults.

SAN FRANCISCO — For the first time in a randomized controlled trial, brain exercises were shown effective in addressing depression in treatment-resistant older patients, who had previously used anti-depressive drug therapy without success. The exercises were shown to improve not only mood, but als...
