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. Some of them are available by prescription, and many are available over the counter. They are p…

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. Between classrooms, sports teams, offices, and the changing seasons, our immune systems can be suddenly …

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. It’s one of my most fascinating places in the world because a remarkable percentage of the population lives past the age of 100, and not just living—but thriving. No cataracts, low heart disease (in fact they have a car…

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! But where an astonishing percentage of people live past 100 — and not just living, but living well. Sharp minds, active bodies, smiles on their faces, and a sparkle in…

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. Anxiety, depression, acne, PCOS, attention issues, weight gain — it’s all on the rise. And the truth is, it’s not just about growing pains or raging hormones. It’s about the world they’re growi…

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. New routines, new teachers, social challenges, academic pressure, sports schedules, and of course—screens everywhere. It’s a lot for a developing brain and nervous system…

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. That’s everything from muscle relaxation and nerve transmission to blood sugar regulation, energy production, and detoxification. And yet — most people are deficient. Not…

Electrolytes. They aren’t just something in your sports drink or electrolyte packet. Electrolytes are literally the electric current of life.

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.
