Are You Ready To “ De-Age ” Your Brain?
Despite the doom and gloom dogma being doled out by conventional medicine, most types of dementia – even Alzheimer’s – can be prevented.
In many cases, it can even be reversed if it’s caught early enough.
That’s great news.
But so often, by the time these debilitating conditions are identified, brain decline has already become extremely advanced.
Today, researchers have found a better and faster way to identify dementia risk.
A groundbreaking study published in the journal Science has revealed that an easy telomere blood test can provide important clues about your risk and the progress of brain deterioration.1

Protect Your Heart with Natural Vitamin A
Vitamin A is best known for helping you see better, especially at night.
But this often-overlooked nutrient has dozens of other health benefits. Your muscles, immune system, lungs, and kidneys all use it, and your liver stores it to use in an emergency.
And now scientists have discovered that vitamin A also activates a stockpile of previously unknown, heart-healing cells inside your pericardium, the fluid-filled sac that surrounds your heart.1,2
First, the researchers discovered that these special cells – a subtype of white blood cells called macrophages – helped heal the hearts of mice.
Then they discovered we have th...

Find “ Ageless Skin ” with Vitamin B
A few days ago, one of my staff came to me in a bit of a panic… She’d taken a vitamin B3 supplement and was experiencing an extreme case of “niacin flush.”
I assured her that she’d be okay and advised her on how to avoid getting the flush moving forward.
Then we started talking about all the life-changing benefits of this important nutrient.
I’ve been prescribing niacin to my patients for decades. It’s an amazing heart health nutrient.
It could even put the billion-dollar statin industry out of business – if more doctors knew to prescribe it.
Unfortunately, most doctors have no idea of the power of vita...

The 5-Steps to Relieve Tinnitus
My patient T.K. was a wreck. He looked like he hadn’t slept in a week. I asked him what was going on.
“It’s nothing you can fix, doc,” he said. “I’ve been to three specialists, and they all told me the same thing…
“I’ve got tinnitus, and I just have to live with it.”
Luckily, I was able to help him.
Tinnitus is an aggravating, nerve-racking, and unseen condition.
The constant ringing in your ears robs you of sleep, makes you miserable as it drowns out your hearing, and, over time, makes you more prone to illness. Tinnitus also shatters your focus and concentration.
Sadly, up to 25% of the U.S. populatio...

FDA Declares Hangover a Disease
If you’ve ever woken up with a pounding headache, nausea, and dizziness after having a cocktail (or two) too many the night before – you may feel like you’re dying!
Of course, you also know that the symptoms of a hangover will soon pass…and by the end of the day, you’ll feel like yourself again.
But according to the FDA, if you are hungover, you don’t just feel sick. You have a disease…
I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.
Earlier this year, in their never-ending efforts to stop supplement makers from offering safe, natural, and tested solutions, the Federal government labeled the dreaded “m...

Early Puberty Soared During the Pandemic, and Scientists Don ’ t Know Why
Italy noticed it first. It was the first country to lock down during the COVID-19 pandemic, and later in 2020, researchers at Florence’s Anna Meyer Children’s University Hospital were the first to point out a puzzling trend: More young girls than ever had been showing up to the hospital with clear signs of early-onset puberty.
The cases weren’t unique, but their frequency was. Since early-onset—or “precocious”—puberty first gained widespread clinical attention in the 1990s, it’s become steadily more common worldwide. Defined as the appearance of secondary sex charact...

Often, consumers inadvertently give too much credit to products ’ ‘scientifically studied’ claims
Key takeawaysA new study finds that consumers often misremember if a product is labeled “scientifically studied” or “scientifically proven” — despite the significant difference in meaning between the two phrases.UCLA psychologists conducted an experiment with one group of college students and another group of older adults to determine whether they would accurately recall which claim was made in an advertisement for a dietary supplement. Only 26% of subjects correctly remembered which phrase was used, and the percentage who recalled the information accurately was roughly the same among both groups.Beingscientif...
