Quiet Snoring And Let Everyone Get Some Sleep!

One of the most common complaints I hear from my over-age 40 patients involves how they can get better sleep.  Amongst all the things that can prevent people from getting a good night’s sleep, snoring can contribute to the poor sleep of everyone in the house! Snoring can also be a symptom of other breathing problems which can lead to poor health.  Here’s what I advise my patients on how to get to the bottom of their snoring and improve their sleep and their health.… Read More

Youthful, Beautiful Skin Elasticity At Any Age

Many of my patients are past the age of 40 and many of them have aging skin concerns.  In fact, I think one of the most concerning skin conditions that they complain of is losing skin elasticity. They tell me that the less elasticity, especially in their facial skin, makes them look older than they feel.  Some of them even ask if they should consider plastic surgery to regain a more youthful look.  Perhaps you have these same concerns about your skin.  Before you go… Read More

Let ORACS Keep You Healthy

When I ask my patients how many ORACs they take in a day, they give me a kind of lost look.  One patient humorously asked me once, “Is that some kind of fruit?” Well, yes and no.  ORAC’s are in fruit – but they’re not a food per se.  Let me share with you what I tell my patients about the ORAC value of foods and its importance to your health. What’s ORAC and Why Is It In My Food? ORAC is the acronym for… Read More

COPD And The Foods That Can Help Tame It

I have several patients with COPD and sometimes they have a hard time breathing comfortably, or get fatigued, especially after eating larger or heavier meals.  As I tell them, it’s better to eat 4-6 smaller meals a day than 3 heavier ones as eating too much at one time makes much more work for their respiratory system.  If you have COPD, here are some other helpful recommendations for choosing the right foods to help you breathe easier. Your Diet Can Help You Breathe Easier  … Read More

Help Prevent Disease With DIM, A Cancer-Fighting, Super-Nutrient

Many of patients are menopausal women and men older than 50.  This is the age group where mid-life hormonal shifts and changes can become problematic and set the stage for the onset of future health problems, like breast cancer, uterine cancer and prostate cancer, if left unchecked.  The problematic hormone that can get out of whack at this time is largely estrogen as “bad estrogens” can predominate which allow dangerous oxidation to occur that damages DNA. However, as I tell my patients, nature has given… Read More

Magnesium Deficiency- Not To Be Mistaken For Normal Signs Of Aging

Some of the most frequent complaints I hear from my patients, especially those older than 50, involves muscle cramps and spasms, notably those leg zingers that make them jump out of bed in the middle of the night; trouble sleeping and daytime stiffness or pain in their muscles.  Most of my patients laugh these symptoms off as just “getting old”, but they’re surprised when I tell them these are more likely symptoms of a magnesium deficiency, which can easily be corrected.  Read on and see… Read More

Got ED? A Low Thyroid Could be to Blame

Several of my male patients have shared with me that they’re having problems in the romance department more frequently.  They experience erectile dysfunction often and are also feeling depressed and fatigued. They wonder if maybe they have a hormone deficiency, or are coming down with a bug or some other condition. I explain that perhaps a testosterone hormone deficiency is to blame, but I’d like to also check another hormone, their thyroid, as a potential cause for their symptoms.  Let me explain. A Man’s Thyroid… Read More

Testosterone Can Fuel Distrust in Women

Over the past few years, many of my patients have come to me with health conditions that are either directly or indirectly influenced by their levels of testosterone.  Indeed, maintaining healthy testosterone levels in both men and women can be tricky after the age of 50.  Too much can cause just as many physical problems as too little and, as new research shows, levels even determine the outcome of social situations where innate trust come into play.  Recently, I became aware of some new and… Read More

Understanding the Listeria Outbreak

For the last few months, there has been an outbreak of Listeria in several states, infecting over 100 people, with 18 people dying from it.  Many of my patients ask me about the outbreak and what they can do to avoid coming in contact with it.
