Picture of my boy Arthur before he was surrendered to Collie Rescue (CAN YOU IMAGINE??!) where I immediately adopted him. Dogs are JOY, which is one of the components of having a healthy life. Here are things you can do on your own for the healthiest you:

EAT healthy, whole food
MAINTAIN or ACHIEVE a normal weight--the new GLP-1/GIP drugs are great! (Tirz more effective than Sema)
EXERCISE daily
MANAGE your stress
SLEEP 7-8 hours nightly
CULTIVATE relationships
EXPERIENCE joy
AVOID pharmaceuticals unless proven to be needed-most are not.

Important news for dog parents: Our Bentley has been through surgery and is in the doggie ICU. Why? Liver biopsy shows massive copper overload. IMPORTANT: 30% of all dog liver biopsies in the U.S. show copper overload (who knew??!!).

In the U.S., dog food brands are unregulated, despite recs from major Universities (e.g. Cornell) to have a max limit determined. Even premium dog foods often contain too much copper. Call your pet food company and check to see if you are feeding with a brand with high amounts of added copper.

Don't let your Vet tell you that ANY elevation of liver tests can be re-checked "in a year or even in 6 months" because in that period of time, your dog can go from hepatitis to cirrhosis. Elevated liver tests=check them monthly, and if they remain up, get an ultrasound with needle biopsy. (Bentley had an exploratory lap and open biopsy). Thank you to everyone who has sent their well wishes for Mr. Bentley, who has turned the corner and is starting on a copper-binding drug today.

Don't eat ultra-processed foods!

Research published in the BMJ; investigators examined “45 ‘pooled meta-analyses’ from 14 review articles involving nearly 10 million people” and “found ‘convincing evidence’ that higher ultra-processed food intake was associated with about a 50% increased risk of cardiovascular disease-related death, a 48 to 53% higher risk of anxiety and common mental disorders, and a 12% greater risk of Type 2 diabetes.” Also, “highly suggestive evidence...indicated that diets high in ultra-processed foods were associated with a 21% greater risk of death from any cause.”

You can make the changes AND clean up your microbiome. Ask me how.

New, "very cool" data about muscle mass helping to prevent dementia---- to add to the data that sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass) contributes to rapid aging made me want to remind you how EASY getting started with weight training is.
Start with as few or as many as you can comfortably do:
1.Push-ups-can start with bended knees (upper body)
2.Squats-can be done anywhere-even at the sink, while brushing your teeth! (Works lower body)
3.Planks-best thing-better than sit-ups for your entire core:video demonstrates how to do this important exercise.

Excess belly fat, or visceral fat around the organs, is the number-one cause of aging. It drives inflammation, increases the risk of blood clots, changes your hormones and brain chemistry, and more. It’s a recipe for disaster in the body. Not only does belly fat surround the organs, but it’s an organ of its own that can produce dangerous inflammatory cytokines that may lead to a cytokine storm. We now have amazing ways to get rid of this. Here's how.

How to lose fat and gain muscle the functional way? Here's the quickest, most effective eating plan, peptides, hormones, and weight workout.
