In a previous article, I wrote about the importance of protein and how much one should consume on a daily basis. Now I’m going to be a bit more specific. The most abundant protein in the body is collagen. Also, collagen makes up about ninety-percent of connective tissue. This is important for a number of [...]

How to eat to maintain healthy blood sugar levels
Posted in common conditions, food, tagged anti-aging, chronic fatigue syndrome, sugar on October 13, 2009 | 5 Comments »
You may have already read my article titled “General guidelines for a healthy diet“. Often I’ll listen to patients tell me what foods they eat, and they are all great choices. They don’t eat sugar or starches (or perhaps very few starches), they avoid the most common food allergens and sensitivities, etc.. Early on in [...]
Recovering from adrenal fatigue

Recently I wrote two articles on the topic of (adrenal) stress. Please refer to those articles in order to gain a better understanding of how the adrenal glands and stress play a role in our health. When I think of experts in the field of endocrinology (the study of the hormone-secreting endocrine glands), Janet Lang, [...]
Stress – is it really the cause of your problems?
Posted in common conditions, tagged anti-aging, symptoms on October 1, 2009 | 2 Comments »
You’ve all probably heard the idea that stress causes health problems. Your doctor may have even told you that your health concern(s) exist solely because of stress. In my opinion — that’s pretty close to nonsense. It’s a great excuse though. Why? Stress doesn’t cause poor health. OK, I’ll be flexible with you. Severe, unrelenting [...]
Nutritional Supplements – “Added value”
Posted in common conditions, food, remedies, tagged anti-aging, antioxidants, free radicals, remedies, supplements, vitamins on September 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
“Added value” is in quotes because it is the title of an article written by Sarah Murray, and published in the “Health” magazine of yesterday’s (9/16/09) Financial Times newspaper. The subtitle is: “Public-private partnerships in food fortification are an efficient and sustainable way of improving the health of the world’s poorest”. I will speak about [...]
Natural remedies for inflammation

The word inflammation comes from the Latin word inflamatio, which translates into: “to set on fire”. It is a term that describes the biological response to an injury or protection from a microbe. Essentially, this “injury” can only come from about 5 things: 1) physical trauma (e.g.: ankle sprain, etc.); 2) allergic reactions; 3) infections; [...]
High cholesterol? What about high homocysteine???
Posted in common conditions, remedies, tagged anti-aging, blood tests, cholesterol, heart disease, inflammation, remedies, supplements, vitamins on September 3, 2009 | 3 Comments »
These days cholesterol still gets all the attention when it comes to heart disease. In fact, I think way too much attention. There are other, often better predictors of heart disease than standard cholesterol tests. And these are routinely missed, even when the patient’s (and doctor’s) motive is to assess the potential risk of future [...]

RUST What is rust? Well, the technical/scientific name for rust is called oxidation. You are probably familiar with rust as it relates to metals. Essentially, rust occurs when oxygen comes in contact with the metal. The extent of the “rust” or oxidation is dependent on how long the oxygen is in contact with the substance. [...]

Anti-aging sounds like an oxymoron. I look at it as basically being able to regenerate optimally. That said, one can certainly reverse signs of aging that have set in due to poor lifestyle habits, hence “anti-aging”. Our “biological” age can be more important than our chronological age. Wouldn’t you rather look and feel 10 years [...]
