  • Everything you’ve been told about fats is wrong
  • It’s time to put eggs back on your menu
  • Top sources for healthy, life-saving fats

The idea that fat is bad for you is a myth that’s been sold to the American public for more than 50 years now. But in the past few decades, it’s been disproven over and over again.

Yet I meet so many patients and other folks who are still loading up on “low-fat”,” “reduced-fat,” and “no fat” foods. The dogma is so ingrained in their lives that they avoid fat like the plague!

Well, if you’re one of them I have some news for you. Continue reading →

  • The healthiest vegetables on earth
  • Don’t forget your healthy fats

When it comes to food, there’s a lot of confusion these days. I see it all of the time in my patients.

They come into my office proud of all the yogurt they’ve been eating for breakfast… the green salads at lunchtime… the lean chicken and succotash for dinner…

It sounds so healthy. But here’s the thing. When you eat a lot of the same foods day after day, you miss out on the wide array of nutrients you would get from a more varied diet. Continue reading →

The 1 Artificial Sweetener You Should Use

By David Blyweiss, M.D., Advanced Natural Wellness

May 17, 2017

  • Artificial sweeteners are a metabolic disaster in the making
  • The truth behind whole grains and fiber
  • What defines a “healthy” fat?

As far as maintaining healthy blood sugar is concerned, the classic interpretation is pretty straightforward. Cut down on your sugar and carbohydrate intake. Avoid processed foods. Get more fiber, eat more whole grains and add more healthy fats.

While this logic is sound, some of it may be sabotaging your efforts to avoid metabolic syndrome and diabetes. And if you’re already having glucose problems, it could be making matters worse. In fact, you could be heading toward a metabolic meltdown. Continue reading →

#1 Way to Fill Nutritional Gaps in Your Diet

By David Blyweiss, M.D., Advanced Natural Wellness

May 12, 2017

  • Are multivitamins a waste of money?
  • Rich in food… poor in nutrients
  • Your #1 insurance policy for good health

I have five supplements that I recommend that everyone take… every single day. And for the most part, my patients understand the rationale behind them.

They recognize that a high-quality omega-3 supplement can slash inflammation and pain and keep their hearts and brains working in top-notch condition.

Most of them also readily accept the fact that vitamin D deficiency is running rampant here in the U.S. So adding a vitamin D3 formula in cholecalciferol form only makes good sense. Continue reading →
