Last week a patient asked me why I hadn’t written an article on intermittent fasting. I was amazed, because it has been a mainstay of my lifestyle for years now. I feel like I have written about it many times, but maybe I have never actually come out and named it by name. Possibly this is because I […]
Most everyone loves ice cream, but we all know that ice cream is not good for us. There is nothing healthful about it on any level. It is full of toxic levels of sugar, high in inflammatory saturated fats, full of A1 casein that releases morphine receptor stimulators, and a basket load of interesting chemicals. […]
I just spent last weekend at a seminar on brain aging and brain development in the young. These two subjects were put together because the undeveloped brain of an infant or young child has a lot of similarities to the degenerated brain function as one ages and goes into dementia.

While starches are a bad idea for a sizable portion of the population, they are very usable for the larger percentage of folks. Remember, we are all […]
Last week I was scanning various Internet medical news feeds looking for good items to put in the newsletter when I came across a study of cancer recurrence in breast cancer survivors in relation to eating patterns. Specifically the study was looking to see if the timing of one’s eating pattern had any effect on […]
There is fat and there is belly fat. Most people think that the two are one and the same, but they are not. Fat on your hips and tush and fat on your chest and arms are energy storage depots for times when you do not have a regular food supply. In a healthy person […]
