BRAIN IMPAIRMENT AND YOUR DIET
BRAIN IMPAIRMENT AND YOUR DIET – Part 2 I’ve been talking about homocysteine level for a few years in my presentations and if you’re one of my clients, you’ve heard my exasperation with requesting this blood test… they won’t do it in NL. “Homocysteine is an amino acid and breakdown product of protein metabolism that, […]
PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH…from my professional experience.
Here are my top 3 practical suggestions for optimal health: 1. Don’t overeat. Available digestive juices and enzymes are limited per meal and when you eat more food than what is available for proper digestion, this causes digestive stresses leading to constipation, diarrhea, bloat, gas production, acid reflux, brain fog, and many more symptoms. Adopt […]
YOUR BRAIN AND YOUR DIET – THE CONNECTION
We talk about heart diseases, Type 2 diabetes, obesity and digestives issues…but what about your brain? Even though the brain only represents 3% of your total body weight, it utilizes as much as 25% of the total energy produced by your body. The brain’s demand for energy is such that when you have a brain […]
VITAMIN D – ARE WE GETTING TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE?
Lately I’ve been reading from different American reports that many people are taking too much Vitamin D and this can lead to heart and kidney diseases, even some form of cancer?? They fail to mention that the study was not a controlled experiment designed to examine the risks and benefits of Vitamin D and that […]
CAN DIET MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR FIGHT AGAINST CANCER?
When it comes to cancer, we cannot act as a spectator looking on and wait for others to decide for us. If you’ve been handed a cancer diagnosis, it’s time to get off that bench and be an active player in what is the biggest game of your life. If you’ve spent anytime researching your […]
AVOCADOS – THE NEW DIET DARLING!
Avocados are one of the healthiest foods you can eat. With its monounsaturated fat content as high as 30%, many people fear consuming too much of it. When eaten in a high fat, moderate protein and low carbohydrate diet (such as a ketogenic diet), this food tops the list. Not only do avocados reduce hunger […]
CANCER IS ON THE RISE…
As many of you know, I have a strong interest in “Holistic Nutrition” and cancer prevention, management and support and currently finishing a Cancer Holistic Therapy Certification. The research I have read from both sides (conventional and holistic) regarding cancer is very different in their approach to managing this condition. Conventional medicine views it as […]
Food is information for our cells
I like the saying, which was made popular by Hungry for Change, 2013 “We are overfed, but at the cellular level we are starving to death”. The problem isn’t that we are eating too many calories. We are eating too few for the right places. How can we look at 100kcal from gummy bears the […]
The Truth about Cholesterol
Cholesterol is both vital and detrimental to your health. No other nutritional substance is as controversial or misunderstood as cholesterol. Actually, there is no bigger health scandal than the one surrounding cholesterol. The fact is that 999 people out 1000 can control their cholesterol level, but even more importantly it is absolutely possible to control […]
RETURNING WHAT’S MISSING!
People ask me what “orthomolecular nutrition” means. Simply put it means “with the right molecules”. Food and essential nutrients are the main medicines of an orthomolecular practitioner/nutritionist. It could also be said that we preserve health with the same approach as you would preserve your lawn. If you want a deep green lawn you could […]
