Years ago, I started using a program I call the 10-Day Detox in my practice.

Over and over again, the patients who tried it experienced dramatic results—just from changing what they eat.

It’s not a lemon water fast. There aren’t any weird shakes. And you don’t have to restrict calories or skip meals.

You simply eat natural foods that are good for you.

I now use the 10-Day Detox with all my patients, and here’s why: Many of the frustrating health symptoms people experience in everyday life are being caused by dietary patterns that drive chronic inflammation.

Chronic inflammation can make your joints ache. It can lead to bloating, heartburn, and GI issues. It can leave you feeling exhausted, both physically and mentally.

If you’re interested in trying it, we’re running a group detox—where lots of people do the program together— very soon.

Comment DETOX below and I’ll send you more info on how to join.

According to a randomized clinical trial published in Pediatric Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism in 2021, children with autism in the intervention group received one 1000 mg omega-3 capsule daily for 8 weeks, while the control group received one 1000 mg medium-chain triglyceride placebo daily.

After adjustment for age, gender, birth weight, BMI, dietary intake, mother’s age, and mother’s BMI, the omega-3 group showed significant improvement in stereotyped behaviors (p = 0.02), social communication (p = 0.02), and overall GARS score (p = 0.001), while social interaction did not improve significantly.

We also like Taurate and Threonate forms of magnesium too.

A sweeping global analysis found that nearly four in 10 cancer cases worldwide are linked to modifiable risk factors, meaning a large share of diagnoses are tied to exposures YOU can change

To***co remains the single largest preventable driver of cancer, while infections such as HPV and H. pylori, and alcohol consumption account for millions of additional cases

Lung, stomach, and cervical cancers make up nearly half of preventable cancers globally, highlighting how specific exposures translate into specific disease patterns

Metabolic stressors — including excess body fat, poor mitochondrial function, and chronic inflammation — create an internal environment that supports tumor growth

You can lower your long-term risk by eliminating smoking and alcohol, removing seed oils, balancing fat and carbohydrate intake, maintaining adequate protein, and committing to consistent daily movement such as walking, swimming, yoga, pilates, etc

Beef tallow isn’t outdated — it’s what kitchens used before factories took over. For generations it fueled families, supported hormones, and handled high heat without turning toxic. The fear didn’t start in your body… it started in marketing. Real food always makes a comeback.

Yes please and Thank You very much!!

Research in neuroscience confirms that practicing gratitude leverages neuroplasticity to physically and chemically reshape your brain.

Each act of gratitude exercises neural circuits in the prefrontal cortex (responsible for emotional regulation) and the medial prefrontal cortex (linked to learning and decision-making). Over time, these pathways become more dominant, making optimism your “default” setting.

Humans naturally scan for threats. Gratitude counteracts this by reducing activity in the amygdala, the brain’s fear center. This lowers your immediate stress response and helps you recover faster from setback.

Expressing thanks also triggers the release of dopamine and serotonin. These neurotransmitters create a “virtuous cycle” - the more you practice, the more your brain seeks out things to be thankful for to get that natural “high”.

Regular gratitude practice can also significantly reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol, leading to better overall health.

Parkinson’s disease affects both movement and thinking, and cognitive decline often reduces independence faster than tremor or stiffness alone

Long-term weekly dance participation helped people with Parkinson’s maintain stronger thinking skills compared to inactive peers

Cognitive benefits from dance became clear after about two years and depended on consistency rather than workout intensity

Dance supported brain health by combining movement, balance, memory, rhythm, and emotional engagement in a single activity

Protecting sleep, lowering toxic stress, fueling your brain properly, and getting regular sunlight help reinforce the brain benefits of movement

Corteva says it’s discontinuing Enlist Duo, an herbicide that combined glyphosate with one of the chemicals used in Agent Orange, the Vietnam-era defoliant that left a long trail of harm.

If this sounds like ancient history, it isn’t. Enlist Duo has been used on millions of acres of US farm fields, and it has been approved by the EPA for use on food crops.

Environmental groups have spent more than a decade challenging that approval, arguing the risks were underestimated. A federal court invalidated the approval in 2020, and the EPA later renewed the registration in 2022. Now the manufacturer is stepping away from this specific product.

The bigger issue is the one we keep avoiding.

We built an agricultural model that treats chemistry as the default answer to problems created by the model itself, monocrops, depleted soil, and an arms race against resistant weeds. Then we act surprised when the “solution” becomes the next problem.

The bar for safety in our food system should be higher than this.

Nutrition officials are now quietly conceding — with high confidence that industrial seed oils should never have been promoted the way they were.

There’s no press conference or public reckoning, just a gradual retreat from decades of certainty.

These oils replaced traditional fats not because they were superior, but because they fit industrial food systems better.

As their use expanded, chronic metabolic illness became increasingly common. This moment isn’t about outrage — it’s about clarity.

When guidance shifts silently after years of confidence, it suggests that the original certainty may never have been as solid as it appeared.

Fructose Is Fueling Cancer Increase

By Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Mike Roizen, MDs

What do Hawaiian Punch, ketchup, and sweet and sour dipping sauce have in common? They all enhance tumor growth because they contain high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

We’ve been telling people to avoid HFCS for years because it messes with blood sugar regulation, contributes to weight gain, and increases levels of bad cholesterol and triglycerides as it raises your risk for fatty liver disease and diabetes.

But if all that isn’t enough to convince you of its dangers, a new study in the journal Nature shows that HFCS increases the volume of circulating nutrients that cancer cells feast on to grow.

This is concerning because Americans consume 15 times more fructose than they did 100 years ago, and that means they are overfeeding tumor cells as they overfeed themselves.

That may be why researchers have observed that certain cancers have become increasingly more prevalent — especially in people younger than 50.

Here’s the smart move if you have cancer: Avoid fructose — both HFCS and plain — in prepared and processed foods.

And for everyone else, don’t make your body a happy hunting ground for cells that are mutating into cancer.

Ditch all added sugars and syrups. For a sweet treat, enjoy 1 ounce of 70% dark chocolate daily.
