A large part of working with patients involves helping them to adopt healthy dietary choices. In doing so, I’m always asked these two questions: “What can I eat for breakfast?” and “What do you eat for breakfast?”. This is in fact a very important question because breakfast may actually be the most important meal 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 [...]

Everyone experiences stress to some degree. The amount of stress and ability of your body to adapt to it will determine how it affects your health and well-being. We have 2 adrenal glands that sit atop each of our kidneys and are sometimes referred to as the “stress glands”, because they secrete stress hormones (cortisol) [...]

Now that the basics of blood sugar regulation are out of the way, I want to speak of one common physiological result of it. Now I want to get more specific, as it will be a topic that I’ll mention often because it is so important in health and disease. So this article will serve [...]
Blood sugar regulation

I talk about blood sugar metabolism being so important to health and wellness that I figured I should start writing articles about it. It’s such an enormous topic and impacts health in so many ways…. Because of this, I thought we should start with the basic physiological mechanisms of blood sugar metabolism. Really basic, it’s [...]
High-fructose corn syrup – the sugar is only one reason to avoid it
Posted in common conditions, food, tagged mercury, sugar on September 2, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I encourage all of my patients to read the label on food products thoroughly. Ideally, there won’t be much to read; meaning that you are not consuming packaged, processed foods. Also, anytime there is a long list of ingredients, especially when you cannot recognize them, it’s probably detrimental to your health. Now let’s discuss high-fructose [...]
General guidelines for a healthy diet
Posted in common conditions, food, remedies, tagged sugar, water on August 30, 2009 | 10 Comments »
I treat every patient as the individual they are, and therefore may instruct a patient to restrict certain foods or food groups in order to achieve optimal health. Please note that all foods you eat should ideally be in their whole form; that is, the way they appear in nature. Anything processed is almost always [...]

The following fantastic, eye-opening, scientifically documented reasons to avoid sugar was originally written in a book by Nancy Appleton, PhD., titled Lick the Sugar Habit. I first was introduced to this list by the founders of Total Body Modification (TBM), a technique I use (in addition to other techniques) to help find the cause and [...]
Dr. Rob’s top 10 anti-aging tips

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 [...]
