Has Your Sex Life "Gone Cold" This Winter?
Time for some real talk: How’s your sex life going? You don’t have to answer that out loud, of course. But I bet you’ve ALREADY answered it in your head. And if the response was anything less than “GREAT!” I’m here to help. You see, your libido can be affected by the seasons. So, if […]
Dodge the WORST Cold and Flu Season on Record
COVID-19 cases might be waning where you are… but the common cold is back with a vengeance. Some are already saying it’s the worst cold and flu season on record—and we’re only in January! The surge in the flu virus and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus)—on top of COVID-19 cases—has many people calling this a “tripledemic.” […]
New Diabetes Risk Factor REVEALED
Type 2 diabetes has been in the news a lot lately. But not because of its deadly impact on us older folks. Instead, our grandkids (and great-grandkids) are in the crosshairs this time. A landmark study was just published by the journal of the American Diabetes Association. It warns that cases of type 2 diabetes […]
Ease Arthritis Hand Pain NATURALLY
We often don’t realize how valuable something is until we’ve lost it. And that’s certainly true for having a working set of hands. We use our fingers from the moment we get up in the morning and wipe the sleep from our eyes right on through until we pull the covers up under our chin […]
Ancient Cure Fights Modern Superbugs
Mainstream medicine isn’t above using scare tactics to get you to take their drugs. But they’re pretty quiet when it comes to the disastrous effects of over-prescribing one of those meds. The misuse of antibiotics has led to the development of antibiotic-resistant superbugs. And that’s every bit as serious as it sounds. It could render […]
“Magic Mushroom” Remedy Combats Alzheimer’s
If you grew up in the 60s as I did, you probably know the powerful effect mushrooms can have on your brain. But while some are hallucinogenic, others are healing. In fact, they can be particularly beneficial for your BRAIN. But (as we all know) not all mushrooms all created equal. In a recent study, […]
Bacterial Breakthrough PREVENTS Breast Cancer?
I have some good news and some bad news about breast cancer. The good news is that rates have decreased steadily over the past 20 years. The bad news is that this killer still claims the lives of tens of thousands of women every year. Early detection is great—but prevention is even better. Recently researchers […]
The TRUTH About Eggs and Heart Disease REVEALED
It’s villainized some of the tastiest, healthiest foods on the planet… And it labeled many of the delicious (nutritious) foods you crave, like full-fat dairy, fatty meat, butter, and eggs, responsible for heart disease… I’m talking about the cholesterol myth, of course. And if you’ve cut these foods out of your diet because they’re […]
Slam the BRAKES on Brain Aging
By now, you probably know that your diet directly impacts your brain health. Last week, I told you about the BIG brain benefit of omega-3s (they literally make your brain BIGGER). But eating plenty of fruits and vegetables is also important for preventing cognitive decline and avoiding Alzheimer’s disease. And while eating ANY fruit or […]
The Best "WINTER" Spice for Your Gut
I’m not a cinnamon dolce latte kind of guy. In fact, you won’t catch me sipping on ANY of those trendy (and expensive!) winter drinks. But I do love cinnamon. The spice adds a welcome warm flavor to whatever it’s used in. It’s downright delicious when swirled into baked goods, mixed into oatmeal, or sprinkled […]
Is Sex After 60 SAFE for Your Heart?
You’d be surprised how often my older patients ask me about sex. They’re not necessarily worried about their ability to have it. But instead whether or not it’s a SAFE activity. And, as you can imagine, it’s especially concerning for those folks who are ALREADY living with a heart condition. If you’ve been wondering if […]
"Fruit Fix" Prevents Sunburn (Reduces CANCER risk!)
Happy New Year! I’ll admit, with the holiday rush FINALLY over, I’m not entirely sure what to do with myself today. Maybe that’s why I started daydreaming about taking a little “fun in the sun” trip to ward off the coming winter doldrums. Honestly, there couldn’t be a better time to do it, either. We […]
Top 6 Anti-Aging Supplements for the NEW YEAR
It’s New Year’s Eve. And you know what THAT means. Many of us will make a resolution this evening to turn over a new leaf in the New Year. For MY money, there’s no better way to celebrate the clock turning to a NEW YEAR than SLOWING DOWN the hands of time on aging. There’s […]
The "Chinese Rose" Cure for Alzheimer's?
There’s a lot we don’t know about Alzheimer’s. But we DO know that the accumulation of toxic plaques in the brain contributes to the cognitive decline associated with the disease. Big Pharma continues to search for ways to clear out those compounds. (Unfortunately, with little success.) But, as with many things, it looks like Nature […]
“Timing” Trick REVERSES Diabetes in 3 MONTHS
A diabetes diagnosis can feel like a death sentence. And it’s not only because the disease can shorten your life… Diabetes signals the death of enjoying your favorite foods. The death of good times dining out with family and friends. The death of your LIFE as you know it. BUT it doesn’t have to. Diabetes […]
60-second Trick PLUMMETS Cancer and Heart Risk
Some folks want to know how MUCH exercise they need to do to obtain its disease-slashing, life-extending benefits. Others want to know how little they can get away with doing and still live LONGER and BETTER. Regardless of which of those camps you’re in, I have some exciting new research to share with you today. […]
AVOID: Common Arthritis Trigger Food
Last week, I told you about how your diet can trigger migraine headaches. The same is true for another common chronic pain problem: arthritis. If you have an underlying food intolerance or allergy to certain foods—even healthy ones—they could trigger inflammation that puts you in a chronic cycle of pain. In fact, one particular family […]
The Sweet Treat Triggering Your Migraines
Happy second day of Christmas! I’m not sure what you’d do with a pair of turtledoves, but I certainly hope you didn’t wake up with the gift of a migraine today, either. But if you did, a common holiday habit could be to blame. Migraines are a mystery to the medical community. Because no one […]
Eat MORE of THESE for A BIGGER Brain
You can’t be passive about your brain health. If you’re NOT taking intentional steps to protect your cognitive function and reduce your risk of dementia there’s a good chance you’re taking unintentional steps that INCREASE your risk. This is especially true when it comes to your diet. Research shows that if you’re not feeding your […]
WARNING! Popular Food Causes Colon Cancer
Many types of cancer are on the decline. Colon cancer isn’t one of them. Colorectal cancer has seen an alarming increase—particularly in people under 50. In fact, it has become a leading cause of death in this age group. Now, research has uncovered a culprit that increases your risk of colon cancer by nearly 30 […]
