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

So, today . . . let's talk about. . . why "IF" . . . the "diet industry" is sooooo "magical" . . . Are roughly 3/4 of the U.S. adult population . . . that's about 75% of us people . . . OVERWEIGHT or OBESE!!!! With about 1/2 of that 75% . . . being classified as OBESE . . . What's wrong with this picture PEOPLE??? And with this . . . "obesity" rates have more than doubled since 1990 So, what's the DRIVING FORCE to this illness??? Well . . . we don't move a much as be used to

So, yesterday . . . we spoke about the word . . . "DIET" . . . being just a word that explains a "style" of eating . . . It actually has "nothing" to do with being a word that's "bad" or describing the "discomfort" of "LIMITING" the food we eat. That would be the "DIET INDUSTRY'S" doing . . . putting such a "NEGATIVE" light on this word . . . You see . . . this "industry" started way back in the 1830s . . . when Sylvester Graham . . . that right my friends . . . the man that

So, the question for today is this . . . What is "DIETING" really all about??? Because to be honest . . . we ALL HATE THAT WORD!!! So, what's the "real" meaning to the world "DIET"??? Well . . . in nutrition . . . "diet" . . . is the sum of food consumed by a person. Simple as that . . . So . . . even a dietary intake of "junk food" . . . is considered . . . a "DIET" . . . It's just a "way" of eating people!!! So, we need to NOT get freaked out by just . . . a WORD!!! Now . .

Good morning my friends . . . So, we just spent the past 4week . . . talking about the "mechanics" of the human body . . . And what "signals" and "signs" we should be looking for in all our bodily "systems" . . . for optimal health . . . We also spoke about "why" . . . we need to take care of our "LIVER" and its connection to our "cholesterol" issues!!! So, with this information . . . we should have just "set" ourselves up for a "healthier" 2026 with all that "knowledge" . .

Now . . . as we discovered yesterday . . . Due to these dietary food cholesterol (fat) molecules . . . from our Western diet . . . being very large . . . After digestion . . . BEFORE they enter the bloodstream . . . like they "normally" should . . . to the "liver" for processing . . . They're moved through the "lymphatic" system . . . before being sent to the "liver" . . . Now . . . the "lymphatic system" . . . processes "dietary cholesterol" . . . by "absorbing" it from the

So, today . . . let's continue to understand . . . the "mechanics" of the "liver" . . . So, yesterday . . . we discovered that "science" thinks . . . the overload of "dietary cholesterol" from this Western diet we love so much . . . That's HIGH in Omega 6 fatty acids . . . We DON'T need to watch our "dietary" cholesterol" INTAKE . . . because the "liver" will just slow production of the 80% cholesterol the liver makes for optimal health. And by the way . . . as I've said man

So, we now know . . . the "liver" . . . makes 80% of the "cholesterol" that the body needs to "clean and filter" our blood for optimal health And with that being said . . . I'll say it again . . . because you need to let this "sink" in people . . . In today's crazy world . . . "science" . . . says . . . "Current dietary guidelines . . . NO LONGER . . . set a specific numerical limit on daily "food cholesterol" intake". They NOW say . . . for most people, "dietary cholesterol"

So, yesterday . . . we discovered that the "liver" makes 80% of all the "cholesterol" the body needs for optimal health . . . AND that . . . the body can actually survive on just that 80%. But . . . we also discovered that the body can handle another 20% from the food we eat. Now . . . this is the "mechanics" of the human body . . . But . . . "science" . . . says . . . "Current dietary guidelines . . . NO LONGER . . . set a specific numerical limit on daily "food cholesterol"

Good morning my friends . . . So, last week we spoke about our "liver" . . . It's hidden connection to "acid reflux" . . . And natural ways to help our "liver health"!!! So, this week . . . let's talk more about the "liver's" function and our "cholesterol"!!! Now . . . as we know . . . the "liver" is responsible for . . . Clearing the blood of drugs and other poisonous substances Regulating blood clotting Resisting infections by making immune factors and removing bacteria fro

So, what's my favorite way to keep my "liver" healthy in today world??? Well . . . this little "potent" veggie . . . I use for a lot of ailments personally and professionally. And that would be . . . "GARLIC"!!! You see . . . "raw garlic" is very good for the health of our liver. It can even "help" with . . . "fatty liver disease" . . . by reducing "liver enzymes" . . . and lowering CANCER risks! Why you ask??? Well . . . the "sulfur" compound in garlic . . . help combat "inf

So, today . . . let's talk about how we can help keep our "liver" healthy . . . Other than getting rid of the bacterial infection called . . . H. pylori . . . we spoke of yesterday . . . So, what can we do??? Well . . . we would need to "focus" on a "balanced" diet rich in . . . Fruits Veggies Whole grains and Healthy fats We would also need to . . . Stay hydrated with water Remove alcohol from the diet Remove sugar and processed food from the diet Exercise regularly Maintain

Well . . . the answer to that question is . . . Directly and Indirectly . . . You see . . . as we spoke at the end of last year about "ANTACIDS" and "PROTON PUMP INHIBATORS" . . . "damaging" our esophagus and stomach . . . They can also . . . Alter our "gut bacteria" . . . potentially leading to "increased" liver inflammation and worsening chronic liver diseases. Which can lead to the "liver's" own "bile" . . . backing up into the stomach and esophagus . . . causing a mimicki

So, yesterday . . . we discovered "what" the liver does for our body and health. Well, today . . . let's continue . . . and find out "HOW MANY" of us REALLY have a HIDDEN "liver" issue!!! Now . . . the American Liver Foundation states . . . And estimated 4.5 million adults in the U.S. have been diagnosed with liver disease. But . . . they go on to say . . . the actual number is likely MUCH higher, as millions more may have undiagnosed conditions like . . . non-alcoholic fatt
