Every night before I go to bed, I fill a gallon container with water from the sink. Then, I use my distiller and let it run overnight.
A few liquid mineral drops in the morning… and voila… delicious, pure water!
Now, you probably know that water is good for you. But I wonder if you know another amazing property of the good ol’ H2O… it can actually help you lose weight! Continue reading

With our current pandemic, it’s easy to see viruses as the enemy. They seem like something to be feared, hated, and avoided at all costs.
I get it.
But viruses don’t have to be the bad guys. In fact, you might be surprised by the important role they have played in our own human evolution. Continue reading

I’m having a pizza this weekend!
It’s been a few months. Mmm… I’m going to have a thin crust, crispy, Hawaiian pizza. People think I’m crazy, but I think it’s the best kind.
There’s just something about that pineapple sweetness along with the Canadian bacon taste. It’s the perfect treat. Continue reading

Are you sick of COVID news yet?
It certainly is an important topic to cover. But sometimes I crave some more lighthearted stories to brighten my day.
For instance, one of the women I work with just got a brand new puppy. It’s a black doodle of some kind… pretty cute, I have to say.
She’s been going on and on about the puppy’s cute antics as it learns how to play and behave. Apparently, this pup has stolen my friend’s heart hook, line and sinker. Continue reading

I was just reading an article about Adele’s weight loss journey. The 32-year-old British popstar lost an astounding 22 kilos (roughly 48 pounds.)
And, you know what? She looks just great!
I’m really happy for her. Not only do I love her music, but she’s just an amazing talent all around.
One of the most interesting things about her weight loss journey has to do with the special plan she followed. People are really excited about this “sirtfood” diet. Continue reading

The causes of health problems aren’t always obvious. I know this more than most people.
That’s because – as a functional medicine doctor – I’m trained to look deep into every issue. I talk with my patients, learn about their diet and lifestyle, and avoid looking for easy fixes at the bottom of a pill bottle.
So, when I have men come into my office with bedroom issues, I don’t always go with the obvious solution. Many of these fellas think there must be something wrong with their testosterone levels. Continue reading

Years ago, I loved to tempt my dog with cooking bacon.
I’d invite him into the kitchen and watch him sit patiently on the edge of the carpet while I worked over the stove. Bacon would sizzle and hiss as it cooked up into crisp strips. The smell would drive my pup crazy.
He’d sit there, trying his best to be a “good dog,” while saliva slowly started leaking out the sides of his mouth. Continue reading

Did you know that some doctors are reversing heart disease with specially designed vegan diets?
It’s fascinating stuff and really exciting.
Now, if you’ve read some of my previous articles, you know that I’m a huge fan of mostly plant-based diets filled with all the colors of the rainbow. In general, I like the advice from Michael Pollan. He said, “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.
Yes, I’m okay with some meat and dairy, organically raised and grass fed, but not a lot of it. But what about going full-vegan? Is that healthy? Is that safe? Continue reading

Have you walked down the health food aisle lately?
The last time I did, I saw all sorts of products… protein drinks, protein bars, big tubs of protein powder.
People just seem obsessed with getting enough protein. Why the interest? Well, they’re interested in building or keeping their strong muscles.
When my own patients have asked me about the right amount of protein to eat, my answer sometimes surprises them. Continue reading

Sadly, there’s a good chance you or someone you love has been affected by the Big C… cancer.
I’ve helped many of my patients deal with their own diagnosis. Several of them were surprised to learn that simple lifestyle changes can make a big difference.
To illustrate this, I had one pancreatic cancer patient who was given six months to live. When he came to me, I helped him switch to a pure organic vegan lifestyle and recommended a special oxygen treatment. He has now lived more than twelve years past his diagnosis. Continue reading
