Sugar: My Position
Sugar seems to be everywhere these days, and I don’t just mean in the copiously over-sweetened standard American diet (“SAD”). I mean in the news about diet, too.
Partly, this is as it should be, as one of the principal liabilities of a dreadfully junk-laden and hypocrisy-laden diet, literally engineered to subjugate the health of the many to the profit of the few, gets the attention it deserves. Partly, though, it is the result of a well orchestrated, well funded effort by those with ties to the beef industry, and/or interest in sticking butter in your coffee, to divert your attention from the ...

Why You're Doing Salad Wrong (And Six Ways to Make It Right)
If I told you to close your eyes and imagine a dinner salad, what would you see? If you're like many of my patients, "salad" brings up thoughts of dieting, deprivation, and yes -- boredom.

Rare Mineral That Naturally Raises Testosterone Levels
Here at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, I use a few inexpensive, natural ways to safely and effectively raise my patients’ testosterone levels.
I’ve found one of the best solutions is an overlooked micronutrient you’ll never hear about from mainstream medicine.
I’m talking about the rare mineral, boron.
Boron arrived on our planet billions of years ago via cosmic dust and meteor fragments. On Earth, it exists only in compound form. Pure boron has been found only in meteorites. But this element is utterly essential to your health.
In the past, your ancestors got nutritional boron through their diet. Bu...

8 Nutrients You May Be Lacking
Fighting back feelings of fatigue, irritability, or depression? Before you diagnose yourself with a chronic condition, take a look at your diet.

That figure, based on nutrition indicators in blood and urine tests, comes from theCDC’s latest nutrition report, published in 2012. While the survey doesn't capture...

Palatetraining: Parents Aim to Buy the Best Food but Need to Make the Best Food
(Counterclockwise from top right to bottom right: My palette of fresh organic homemade tricolor carrots, sweet potato, butternut squash, Fuji applesauce, sweet peas, green beans and banana purees.)
The other day a new parent told me, "I don't make my own baby food, but I only buy organic." She was confident and assured that her baby was getting "fresh organic fruits, vegetables, and whole grains" because of the "organic," "100 percent natural," made with "pure vegetables and fruits," "no artificial flavors," labels on the jar or squeeze pouch.
