Did Your Dentist Miss This?

  • Here’s where regular dental care falls short
  • What’s good for your gut is good for your mouth
  • Take dentures out of your future

Nobody wants to lose their teeth and end up with dentures.

So you brush, floss and rinse regularly to remove offensive bacteria that can rot your teeth and infect your gums. You probably also visit your dentist every six months for a professional cleaning.

But have you ever noticed that some people seem to be plagued with caps, crowns, root canals, gum disease and extractions… no matter how well they take care of their teeth?

There may be a relatively simple explanation for that. Continue reading →

  • Is your headache tension, cluster or migraine?
  • The mother of all headaches
  • Tips to tame your head pain

Did you know that just about half of the world’s entire adult population experiences a headache each year?

That’s a lot of headaches! And in many cases, the head pain just comes and goes. But there are certain types of headaches that seem to hang around a lot longer than others.

The most common type of headache is called the “tension-type” headache. They account for upwards of 70% of chronic, recurring head pain. Continue reading →

Why am I so Bloated?

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

August 5, 2016

  • Why are you always so bloated?
  • Common digestive disorders can make you swell up like a balloon
  • Beat the bloat with these simple tips

Nobody likes the feeling of being bloated. Whether you’re a man or a woman it’s flat-out uncomfortable. It doesn’t look very flattering either.

In many cases, the cause of bloat is surprisingly simple. You ate too much or too fast, slugged down a carbonated beverage or indulged in a heavily processed food.

Other times, it’s harder to pinpoint a cause. And if you frequently experience bloating, not knowing the source can be extremely frustrating. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t hope. In many cases, bloating is directly linked to digestive issues.

Some of these are easier to address than others. Continue reading →

Link Between Blood Sugar and Heart Disease

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

  • Heart problems could mean you have diabetes
  • Do you know your numbers?
  • Beat blood sugar problems to avoid heart attack

Did you know that if you suffer a stroke or heart attack, there’s a chance you might have undiagnosed diabetes or hyperglycemia that may have been a factor?The math is pretty simple when you think about it.

You see, diabetics have a two to four time higher chance of experiencing a major cardiovascular event than someone who doesn’t have the disease. Thus, it stands to reason that if you have a stroke or heart attack, there’s also a greater chance you’re diabetic or have blood glucose problems.

But does this “reverse-connection” theory hold water? Continue reading →

  • Is the scorching summer heat stopping you from exercising?
  • Check out my 15-minute indoor workout
  • 5 heart-pumping, muscle-building exercises for summer

Down here in South Florida, it’s been a brutally hot summer so far. Other states across the U.S. are also averaging higher than normal temperatures this year.

Well, when you walk out the door and immediately break out in a sweat, it’s easy to get out of your regular exercise routine. In fact, I’m finding more and more of my patients who normally walk, sprint and ride their bikes outdoors are falling out of the habit.

Eat Your Way to a Younger You

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

July 20, 2016

  • Are you eating foods that age you?
  • How “inflamm-aging” is killing Americans
  • Eat your way to a younger and healthier life

If I had to name only one single reason that some people age faster than others, diet would probably be at the top of my list.

Simply put, eating the wrong foods opens you up to chronic inflammation.

Some folks call this “inflamm-aging”. That’s because it’s linked to almost all of today’s top age-related diseases – heart disease, arthritis diabetes, Alzheimer’s, cancer and more. And here in the U.S., it’s run amok.

I place the blame squarely on the American diet. Continue reading →

Why Everyone Over 40 Needs CoQ10

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

July 18, 2016

  • What is CoQ10 and why do you need it?
  • Why everyone over 40 should be taking this enzyme
  • The secret to choosing the best CoQ10 for you

Everyone “gets” the idea of taking a multi-vitamin to help offset nutritional deficits. They quickly grasp the importance of supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids to boost their intake of these heart- and brain-healthy fish oils.

But what about CoQ10?

CoQ10 is one of those supplements everyone over the age of 40 should take, every single day. It’s also one that’s least understood by most folks.

It’s not a vitamin. It’s not a mineral. So what is it and why do you need it? Continue reading →

Reverse Damage to Your Aging Brain

  • Reverse damage to your aging brain
  • More mitochondria means more brainpower
  • Three nutrients that fuel your brain

In last issue, I introduced you to Dr. Bredesen’s MEND protocol.

This amazing treatment regimen is the first to show memory loss, cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease are all reversible. This is true even in patients who carry the APOE4 gene – a variant that puts them at greater risk of Alzheimer’s.

It’s a personalized program that deals with much more than the brain. That’s because everything going on in your body affects your brain chemistry. This includes the foods you eat, the way your genes are expressed and even the condition of your mitochondria. Continue reading →

Groundbreaking News: You CAN Reverse Alzheimer’s

July 11, 2016

  • Reverse Alzheimer’s and boost brain volume
  • No drugs, psychiatric care or side effects
  • Dementia-busting tips you can put to use immediately

Today, there is no medical cure for Alzheimer’s disease. So the true story I’m about to tell you brings a great deal of promise to anyone hoping to revitalize their brainpower.

You see, a 66-year old man with well documented early Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment signed up for a very unique program.

When he started, the volume of his hippocampus (which is critical in consolidating daily information from short term memory to long term) was smaller than 83% of men his age. He also had reduced glucose utilization, which is indicative of Alzheimer’s. Additionally, he carried the APOE4 gene variant, which placed him at greater risk for the disease. Continue reading →

Ease Knee Pain Without Drugs or Surgery

  • Is knee surgery a good option for you?
  • Best way to restore knee function, mobility and flexibility
  • … And shut down arthritic joint pain

If you have arthritic knees, you may think that undergoing knee surgery at some point in the future will fix you up and get rid of that disabling joint pain. It may even be something you’re already considering.

Well, despite popular belief, knee surgery isn’t always your best option. In fact, I seldom recommend it unless it’s absolutely necessary.

You see, awhile back a group of patients with this common knee problem took part in an experiment. All of them went into an operating room and had their knees cut open for surgery. Continue reading →
