Good morning my friends . . . How was your weekend??? So, we just spent last week talking about how drinking "coffee" in the morning . . . or . . . having that sweet little chocolate "caffeine" "fix" in the am . . . NOT ONLY . . . messes up our Cortisol hormone . . . It also "disrupts" our . . . "Leptin" and "Ghrelin" hormone for the rest of the day . . . So, how's all that working for ya??? Well . . . today, lets' break it down to better understand . . . Just what part the "

So, what is the "involuntary" part of our Cortisol hormone . . . and how does it affect our actions and "anger issues"??? Well . . . on a normal day . . . with "normal" levels of Cortisol . . . "after" the morning depletion of this hormone . . . at about 9ish . . . Stress . . . and/or . . . a dangerous situation . . . activates this hormone AGAIN . . . for a "fight" . . . "flight" . . . or "freeze" response to that situation. But, as soon as the "situation" is over . . . or C

So yesterday . . . we spoke about how the caffeine from our coffee . . . or for that matter . . . ANY caffeine . . . that includes the morning "chocolate" lovers also . . . "Raises" our level of the hormone called Cortisol . . . when it's naturally supposed to be "decreasing" in levels at that time of day. This NOW . . . puts us in a state of "overeating" and "emotional distress" all day long. Why you ask??? Well . . . when Cortisol is elevated above its normal level for tha

So, yesterday . . . we discovered that the hormone called Cortisol . . . is in "control" of our "sleep-wake rhythm" . . . And that it starts its job and process at about 3:00 in the morning . . . peaking at about 6:00a m and "decreasing" to finish its job about 9:00 am. Giving us an energized, happy, healthy morning and day!!! And "IF" this hormone is functioning "properly" . . . These are the people that "wake up" ready for the day and hit the floor running!!! BUT . . . "IF"

So . . . do you have the answer to that question??? Well . . . you probably guessed wrong . . . because it's more complex than just one food and/or beverage. So, let's start at the beginning . . . to better understand . . . Do you ever "wake" in the morning about 3:00 am??? Well . . . you're NOT ALONE my friends!!! Because studies show about 68% of all Americans . . . wake around that time . . . and CAN'T go back to sleep . . . So . . . why is that. . . and what does that hav

Good morning my friends . . . I hope to find you well . . . And I hope my "local" people are all safe from this major snowstorm . . . So, last week . . . we spoke about how the foods we "choose" to consume from this western diet . . . CAN MAKE . . . OR . . . BREAK US . . . And how most of that food in today's world . . . due to the overprocessing and added chemicals . . . is causing "addictive behavior" . . . Which is now being categorized as . . . "mental health issues"!!! S

So, I know I give you a LOT of information . . . and sometimes . . . it's hard to remember everything I've told you.

So, yesterday . . . we discovered that . . . "what we eat" . . . can cause "addictive behavior" on ALL LEVELS!!! And that . . . "food addictions" . . . are increasingly recognized as "behavioral addictions" with strong links to "mental health issues" in today's world!!! And this is driven by "highly palatable foods" . . . that TRIGGER "feel-good" chemicals in the brain . . . Which lead to . . . Compulsive behavior Withdrawal symptoms Depression And anxiety You see . . . the

So, yesterday . . . we spoke about . . . the 2 kinds of eating "habits" we a Americans seem to fall into . . . in today's world!!! So, Why are WE, what WE eat??? Well . . . the "food" that we consume . . . directly "builds" and "fuels" our body . . . This affecting our physical health . . . cell structure . . . energy . . . mood . . . and gut health!!! You see . . . "what" we eat . . . shapes our "gut microbiome" (the ratio of good to bad bacteria in the large intestine) . .

So, have you ever heard the saying . . . "We Are, What We Eat" . . . my friends??? Well . . . it's "true" . . . And in life . . . we become 1 of 2 kinds of people . . . The ones that . . . "Eat to survive" . . . Or the ones that . . . "Survive to eat" . . . WHICH ONE ARE YOU??? Well, let's break it down to better understand that theory . . . You see . . . the people that . . . "eat to survive" . . . are the ones that "choose their food wisely" . . . They understand the "valu

"dropping like flies"!!! With illness and weight issues all around us . . . So, what's it really all about??? Well . . . as I've said many times before . . . I believe . . . the answers to our "health issues" . . . are NOT about . . . the "science" or "biotechnology" of the body . . . Those "words

Good morning my friends . . . I hope to find you well . . . So . . . I'm not an avid "Zodiac" person . . . But . . . coming off a year like we had in "2025" . . . the year of the "SNAKE" . . . I'm all for this year . . . 2026 . . . being the year of the "horse"!!! Why you ask??? Well . . . in this crazy world of today . . . I think we need all the help we can get . . . You see . . . in Chinese Zodiac . . . the year of the "FIRE HORSE' . . . starts tomorrow on Feb. 17th, 2026

Good morning my "health enthusiasts" . . . So, we've been talking a lot about the "mechanics" of the human body the past few months . . . and "weight loss issues" . . . So, let's bring to this NEW YEAR . . . The "STRENGTH" . . . to move forward and NOT ACCEPT . . . that our "health" . . . is just what it is!!! But . . . to EMBRACE . . . the "untamed spirit" . . . to want to be . . . The "best" YOU . . . YOU can be!!! So, how do we do that you ask??? Well . . . learning all th

So, today . . . let's talk about the "weight loss" supplement called . . . "Alli". AND . . . unfortunately . . . the news on this "over-the-counter" weight loss pill . . . is NOT any better. You see . . . "Alli" . . . also contains "orlistat" . . . which is an FDA approved DRUG . . . that helps the body "block" about 25% of the FAT from the food we eat BEFORE the body can absorb it. How does that sound healthy people??? And again . . . the side effects are . . . Oily stool Ga

So, today . . . let's continue . . . And the next question we need to ask is this . . . Are these and other weight loss drugs "worth" their use??? Well . . . so far this week . . . we've discovered . . . All of them are . . . "synthetics" . . . All of them . . . "mimic" our body's function All of them . . . STOP WORKING once you stop taking them . . . And therefore . . . we "gain" back the weight we lost!!!! And "ALL" of them . . . "ALTER" the body's "internal dialogue" . . .

So, today . . . let's talk about a newer "drug" called "Zepbound" . . . This is a prescription, once a week injection approved by the FDA for chronic weight management. Now, with this drug . . . it "mimics" 2 natural gut hormones . . . GIP and GLP-1 . . . to help control appetite . . . slow stomach emptying . . . and increase the feeling of fullness. And again . . . the "trickery" continues . . . Because "Zepbound" . . . is the SAME DRUG as Mounjaro . . . which is approved fo

So, today . . . let's break it down to better understand what we're "actually" doing to our body "long term" by taking the "weight loss drug" called "Ozempic". Now . . . did you know . . . that "Ozempic" . . . a common prescription medication used for "weight loss" . . . is ACTUALLY . . . a prescription to treat "Type 2 Diabetes"??? That's right people . . . we being "mislead" once again . . . You see . . . it's not a form of "insulin" . . . but rather classified as a GLP-1 r

Good morning my friends . . . I hope to find you well We got "hammered" with more snow and frigid weather this weekend .. . . So, today . . . we NEED to talk about all those "weight loss" DRUGS . . . and "what" they're REALLY doing to our body and health!!! First question . . . what "are" weight loss drugs? Well . . . they're said to "help" people lose weight by "reducing appetite" . . . slowing digestion . . . or . . . blocking fat absorption . . . And this is done by . .

So the question for today still remains . . . Why "don't" diets work? Well, first . . . cutting calorie makes the body "conserve energy" . . . which lowers the body's METABOLISM . . . So you actually . . . BURN FEWER CALORIES . . . NOT MORE CALORIES . . . as we've been told by the "weight loss industry"!!! Second . . . weight loss . . . "DECREASES" the hormone called "Leptin" . . . which is the satiety hormone . . . our "FASTING" hormone!!!! PEOPLE . . . that's the one that S
