Let’s talk about something you can’t buy in a bottle — but it’s as essential as food. That nutrient is light. We’ve spent decades counting carbs and macros, but very few people count the hours of sunlight on their skin or the quality of light around them. Yet light directs every cell clock in your body — from your brain to your liver, from your thy…

Let me start with a story I hear almost every week. A woman tells me, “I’m eating clean. I’m exercising. I’m doing everything right — but I’m still tired, inflamed, and stuck.” She’s counting calories, skipping desserts, yet the scale won’t move and her clothes fit the same. The truth? It’s not a lack of discipline — it’s hidden inflammation. Your …

Now, you may not know them by that technical name, but I bet you’ve heard their brand names: Prilosec, Nexium, Protonix, Prevacid. These are the purple pills and little capsules that so many people take for acid reflux, indigestion, ulcers, or heartburn.

When September hits, I always say it’s like a second “New Year.” Schedules tighten, routines reset, and — let’s be honest — the germs start flying. It is cootie season! packed classrooms, sports getting kids run down while exposure is increased.

Today I’m tackling a common medication that some of us have in our purse, our glove compartment, and our nightstand—Tylenol, also known as acetaminophen. It’s considered so “safe” that hospitals hand it out like candy, pediatricians recommend it for teething babies, and it’s included in hundreds of over-the-counter products—cold remedies, sleep aid…

Over the past few weeks, I’ve taken you on a journey with me to a little fishing village on the southern coast of Italy—Acciaroli.

I recently visited Acciaroli, Italy, a tiny fishing village turned vacation hot spot on the Cilento coast, just south of the Amalfi coastline- so far south that no one spoke English!

Today we’re talking about one of the body’s most powerful secret weapons for weight loss, blood sugar balance, cravings, and even inflammation. It’s not a pill. It’s not a fad. It’s a now famous hormone your body makes naturally — and its name is GLP-1. If that sounds familiar, it’s probably because you’ve heard about drugs like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, …

And today, we’re diving into something I see frequently — the impact of stress, sleep disruption, and poor nutrition on teen hormones. Teens are struggling.

It’s back-to-school season! And while some parents might be counting the days (can I get an “amen”?), let’s be honest: this time of year can be stressful, especially for our kids.

Today, we’re diving into magnesium — one of my all-time favorite minerals. In fact, I call it the master mineral because it’s involved in over 300 enzymatic processes in the body.

People have always been seeking longevity. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has had a clear understanding of aging since very ancient times dating back 5,000 years of written knowledge. To me it is curious that it recognizes the limit of the human life span as 100‐120 years, as unequivocally stated in the ancient Huang Di Internal Classic, which …

The pharmaceutical establishment knows lifestyle is the key to reversing chronic disease- but there is no money in reversing it. But keeping it chronic so that people need the drugs, now that’s the ticket. Yes, diet and lifestyle works but you get 5 dollars for lifestyle research, but you can $150 million for drugs that have payback. Inherent bias.…
