Last week I wrote about the hormone GLP1 because of its role in reducing hunger and controlling blood sugar. Both of these are vital to carrying out an effective weight loss plan for the new year. So here we are with one foot planted in 2024 ready to take off in this new year. […]
As promised last week, we are going to look at physical therapies and exercise that are an intrinsic part of a body makeover. So far we have focused on healing the gut and reducing systemic inflammation. Our head should be clearer and our gut happier. Now let’s focus on the body at large, and that refers […]
For a couple of months now I have been researching the inflammatory properties of the fats we consume. I thought I had a pretty good handle on the subject before I started my research this time due to a dive into the subject I made about 20 years ago. Back then the exciting knowledge […]
Here is an amazing statistic I heard in a podcast — 70% of the dollars spent in the US for healthcare are spent on diseases that are caused by the Standard American Diet. We are talking about type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, fatty liver, polycystic ovarian disease, […]
I am in my fifth decade of service as a chiropractor. As time has progressed, I am noticing that a larger percentage of my patients are over 65 years of age. I notice this because of the kinds of things patients say to me when they describe their symptoms for their current visit. They […]
The week before last my newsletter focused on the underlying disease that is likely to result in each of our deaths — insulin resistance.

What is the most likely thing that will kill you? For Americans that would be heart disease followed by cancer. Once you take out accidents, acute infections, and suicide, the remaining seven of the top ten causes of death in the US account for 90% of deaths. The important point here is that the […]
What do fatty liver, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart attacks, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, insulin resistance, obesity, high blood pressure, and gouty arthritis all have in common? Uric acid! For the last hundred years, uric acid has been largely ignored by the medical profession unless you showed up with the symptoms of gout. The classic […]
One of my patients, Debbie, asked if I would do a newsletter on how to fight aging. Her thought was 10 Tips for Fighting Aging. That sounded like a great idea, so I started tackling the subject. I quickly noticed, as I started writing down ideas, that this is actually a very complex subject. There […]
Linoleic acid may sound like some weird chemical you might think you have never consumed. But the truth is the average American has 15 to 20% of the calories in their diet coming from linoleic acid. Compare that to 150 years ago when the average consumption was 1 – 3%. Linoleic acid is the […]
