Four simple steps to a lean body
If I told you to eat what you love and cut back on your workouts if you want to lose weight, you might tell me I’m crazy.
Diet and fitness “experts” certainly would.
But their terrible advice about fitness and nutrition has led to the current obesity epidemic. Nearly 40% of Americans are now obese and nearly 70% are overweight.
And the problem is only getting worse.
A new study in the prestigious JAMA medical journal reports that more people are giving up on trying to lose weight.1
Researchers asked 27,350 overweight and obese adults whether they had tried to lose weight in the past 12 months. Since 198...

How Air Pollution Can Lead To Weight Gain
I just read a study that stunned me.
It suggested that the air we breathe is making us fat.
A researcher from Duke University placed two groups of rats in separate chambers.
One group was exposed to Beijing’s super toxic air. That city has some of the worst air pollution in the world. The second group breathed filtered air.
The two groups ate exactly the same diet.
After 19 days, the rats exposed to the air pollution were 18% fatter.
Their LDL levels were 50% higher and their triglycerides were 46% higher. This indicates high levels of fat in their blood. To make matters worse, their lungs were 25% heavier and...

The Anti-Aging Benefits of Curcumin
I've met a lot of people in my travels over the past few decades. I don't remember all of the names and faces, but there are some that I'll remember for the rest of my life…
One is an older woman I met while I was studying Ayurvedic medicine in India in the 1990s. I assumed by her appearance that she was in her late 70s. She was active and engaging. I remember thinking she looked great for her age.
And then she dropped the bomb…
She told me she was 109!
I thought she was pulling my leg at first. But when she introduced me to her 75-year-old granddaughter, I knew she wasn't kidding.
When I asked...

Luteolin: How To Reduce Breast Cancer Risk
More than 100 women die of breast cancer in the U.S. every day. It's the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American women.
But in my opinion, many of those women really die of a tragic medical error. Let me explain…
Millions of women in the U.S. have taken Big Pharma's hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Their doctors prescribe it to try to relieve the symptoms of menopause. Like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and weight gain.
But what the drug companies try to pass off as hormones are actually synthetic concoctions. They are fake versions of the estrogen and progesterone that your body makes n...

How to Protect Your Brain Against Alzheimer ’s
A few weeks ago, Big Pharma giant Merck canceled the clinical trial for its latest “promising” Alzheimer’s drug.
Why?
It was a total flop.
The same thing happened four months ago with a drug that Eli Lilly was testing.
The reality is that more than 99% of Alzheimer’s drugs fail in development. This proves that mainstream medicine has no clue what causes this brain-wasting condition.
So what’s really going on?
A big part of the problem is in the very air we breathe. And the closer you live to a major roadway or urban center, the worse it is…

Tighten Turkey Neck With This Facial Yoga Exercise
This morning, a couple of the women in my office asked me what they could do about their “turkey necks.”
These women take great care of their skin. They look much younger than their actual age. But they hate that the skin on their necks is beginning to sag and get loose, no matter how many products they try.
I gave them some advice and got back to work at my desk. A few minutes later, one of the men on my staff, F.C, came into my office. He hesitated for a minute. Then, in a very low voice, he said: “Dr. Sears, I heard you telling the women how they could make the skin on their necks look better. C...

How Does PRP Therapy Work
We’ve known for years that platelets are the part of your blood that’s responsible for clotting. But we’re only beginning to learn about their powerful rejuvenating power and their potential to heal.
Platelets are your body’s “first responders.” They initiate a cascade of healing that’s 10 times more powerful than any drug available today.
In fact, it’ll be centuries before Big Pharma will be able to come up with a drug that can come close to doing what platelets can do.
Platelets work in two ways. First, they contain hundreds of growth factors. These proteins are...

How to Boost Your Stem Cells
A California man named Kris Boesen was completely paralyzed after breaking his neck in a terrible car crash last March. But now he can brush his teeth and hug his family again…
He's even started to regain sensation in his legs.
And it's all because of a simple procedure he underwent about a month after his accident: stem cell therapy.
During Kris' procedure, researchers at the University of Southern California injected 10 million stem cells into his spinal cord.
Within two weeks, he could wiggle his fingers. Three months later, he was able to feed himself, write his name and operate his wheelchair.
His re...

Mangosteen: The Cancer-Fighting Superfruit
If you're a woman with a family history of breast cancer, your doctor may recommend you start taking a toxic chemo drug like tamoxifen to lower your risk of developing the disease.
Even if you have no signs or symptoms of cancer.
Tamoxifen is what's known as a chemopreventive agent. That's a fancy phrase that means it's something that prevents cancer from forming.
But its track record isn't all that impressive. Trials found that for every 1,000 women who take the drugs, only 21 to 35 cases of cancer would be prevented.
And the side effects are downright terrifying. Bone pain, blood clots, increas...

The Effects of B12 Deficiency
Metformin is Big Pharma's pride and joy when it comes to diabetes. Over 120 million diabetics take this drug to try to control their blood sugar.
Even anti-aging doctors have gotten on the bandwagon. They think metformin is a wonder drug. My colleagues keep asking me when I'm going to start prescribing it.
Short-term, drugs can be a lifesaver. But long-term, the track record is not so good.
Long term, like so many of Big Pharma's "cures," metformin creates more problems than it solves…
Patients often stay on this drug for 10 years… 20 years… and more. That's a long time to be on an...

Improve Your Mood With Turmeric Root (Curcumin)
"Dr. Sears," C.R. asked me, "I know curcumin is good for treating a lot of things, but can it improve someone's mood?"
This morning, one of the women on my staff, C.R., came into my office to talk to me about her 15-year-old son. He'd been irritable and moody and sleeping a lot lately. Most mornings, he'd miss the bus to school and then stress about being late.
But today, he was up on time with his backpack packed and a smile on his face. C.R. even heard him whistling in the shower! And he was at the bus stop 10 minutes early.
C. R. started taking curcumin supplements a few weeks ago. She had no...

Controlling Cancer: How To Boost Your NK Cells
If your doctor puts you on a statin for cholesterol, prepare to be on it for life. If you have high blood pressure, you can be sure you'll be filling that prescription forever. Diabetic? You can look forward to decades of metformin.
Big Pharma seems to have a "treatment" for every disease. But they rarely have a "cure."
You see, the longer you take their "medicine," the more money they make.
And now they're trying to do the same thing with chemotherapy drugs.
A group of researchers from Oregon and the U.K. just created a new drug delivery system for cancer. It's called "metronom...

PACE vs. HIIT
I asked D.M., “What makes PACE unique?”
He said, “It’s a more intense way of doing interval train-”…
I didn’t want to interrupt him but I had to stop D.M., one of the guys on my staff, right there. That’s what everyone thinks. That PACE is about intervals. But it’s much different.
It’s true that like PACE, High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) uses high exertion over short intervals. But it’s not the right starting point for everyone. And it is not PACE.
The problem with HIIT is that the typical deconditioned American can’t run eight 100-yard wind sprints. They are not ready to do extreme workouts...

How BPA Exposure Lowers Vitamin D Levels
What do breast cancer, ADHD, diabetes, male fertility and autism have in common?
They're very different conditions, but they've all been linked to a toxic group of chemicals called phthalates that we're all exposed to every day. Phthalates are in everything from food packaging to personal care products to dental fillings. In fact, they're so common in our environment that they're sometimes called "everywhere chemicals."
And like so many of the toxins in our environment, phthalates throw your hormones out of whack. They cause estrogen levels to soar in both men and women.
Chemicals like these are...
