Can Wheat Belly save you money?
Followers of the Wheat Belly lifestyle often ask: “If I need to buy higher quality food—organic, grass-fed, minimally processed—won’t my grocery budget explode? I can’t afford that on my limited food budget.”
We do indeed seek out higher quality foods on the Wheat Belly lifestyle, foods that recreate the high nutrient density of foods that our ancestors consumed as they hunted and foraged in the wild—higher folate, magnesium, phytonutrient, fat content. But, more than likely, you don’t have the time, inclination, or knowledge that would allow you to go out and kill or forage ...

Itchy Eyes: Allergies are Crying Out for Attention
In many ways, the eyes are the windows of the body. When children have itchy eyes, it can disrupt their days – and nights. Itchy eyes often distract kids and decrease their ability to learn new material. If this weren’t bad enough, they can cause kids to sleep less well. For some kids, the difference in sleep can make them moody and hungry. Hangry is not what any parent, teacher or child wants.
Why Do Kids Get Itchy Eyes?
The human body is armed with an amazing immune system that includes an array of protection devices. The respiratory system tightens up when foreign particles are introduced. The nose secretes a flow o...

Apollo Ventures Funds Autophagy Enhancement Startup Samsara Therapeutics
As I noted recently, it is somewhat surprising to see so little movement towards the clinic in the field of autophagy enhancement over these past two decades. It has been an area of strong interest in the research community for at least that long. It is well known that upregulation of the cellular maintenance process of autophagy is an important part of the calorie restriction response, a sweeping change to metabolism that slows aging and improves health. Sizable investment in the development of calorie restriction mimetic drugs has taken place in the past fifteen years. Why then has the research and development community ...

Stuffy Nose and Cough Remedies for Kids
Kids are not small adults. That may seem like something so obvious that it goes without saying. Yet for decades the doses for many medicines, including over the counter cough and cold medicines were set by just starting with adult doses and reducing them according to children’s smaller size. It turns out, this often does not work.
Before puberty, the hormonal environment within children’s bodies is significantly different than the hormonal environment in adults. Children’s bodies are set in the “rapid growth and development mode”. Young adults are in the “maintain and reproduce mode”. Medicines that work well...

Planet-friendly, plant-based home cooking
With all the news about the health and environmental advantages of eating less meat, many people are trying to eat more plant-based meals. But where do you begin?
Instead of trying to cook an entire vegetarian meal from scratch, start with one small step and build from there, says Dr. Rani Polak, founding director of the Culinary Healthcare Education Fundamentals (CHEF) coaching program at Harvard’s Institute of Lifestyle Medicine. “For example, buy some canned beans. You can then make a simple bean salad with a little olive oil and lemon juice. Or if you have a favorite recipe for beef stew, try swapping in beans for ...

CBD Oil — What are Potential Effects on the Brain?
According to this study, CBD causes hormonal changes that can lessen the intensity of anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, and social anxiety.
