Billion Year Old Treatment Effective for Colic?

Which Comes First? Abdominal Fat or Prediabetes?
Which comes first? The insulin reistant chicken or the egg with abdominal fat? To a certain degree, the answer doesn’t really matter all that much because the answer (lifestyle changes) is the same in either case. But…

But My Trainer Tells Me I Need to Eat More Protein…

Will That Cup of Coffee Protect My Brain?
I’m not sure where along the process caffeine got such a bad rap. I continue to see suggestions to avoid caffeinated products like coffee and tea. I can understand if someone has adrenal fatigue and needs an IV directly…

Migraines Have Potentially Deadly Consequences
I frequently have patients tell me that this or that condition is “under control” with medication. As a society we have been completely duped into this type of thinking. Migraines are no exception. Regardless of whether…

Antidepressants; Billions of Dollars for a 2.7% Improvement

What’s the ONE Thing You Can Do to Live Longer?
It’s NOT taking that brand new supplement that promises youthful looking skin or memory or will give you “youthful” performance in the bedroom (wink, wink…). Nope. It’s just simple exercise. Nothing will keep you…

Taking Drugs for Cholesterol Issues? Maybe Medication Started the Problem
Cholesterol lowering drugs seem to have lost some of their luster. Can’t say I’m disappointed about that little tidbit. Due to staggeringly successful marketing efforts on the part of the drug companies (most notably…
