The cancer-stress connection
It’s no secret that stress can be deadly.
It weakens your immune system… It increases your risk of heart disease…
But new research shows that stress can be particularly deadly for people with cancer. A recent study in Australia found that stress allows cancer to spread six times faster.
Aussie researchers tracked breast cancer cells in mice. They tagged the cancer cells with a fluorescent marker. Then they used state-of-the-art imaging to see tumor cells that had spread into the lymph system.1
What they saw was remarkable…
The images showed that stress increases the number and size of lymph vessels in and ...

Go for the gold in bed
Olympic athletes have a secret that most mere mortals just don't get. And it's the same secret that can make you a gold-medal superstar in bed.
I'm talking about oxygen.
Olympians understand that every cell in your body is designed to burn oxygen. Cut back on oxygen and all cellular processes slow down. You start to become tired or short of breath. So, high concentrations of oxygen in every cell in your body makes the difference between a gold medal and an "also ran."
It's the same for you in just about every part of your life. With plenty of oxygen, your body pulses with energy. E...

Nutrients To Energize Your Mitochondria
For more than a decade now, I’ve been boosting my patients’ mitochondria with two super-nutrients — CoQ10 and pyrroloquinoline quinone, or PQQ.
You see, if you keep your mitochondria healthy, your body will have all the energy it’ll ever need to stay strong and ward off the diseases of aging.
The problem is that mainstream medicine is lagging way behind, so you won’t hear about this from your doctor.
But along with your telomeres, the cellular time keepers at the ends of your chromosomes, your mitochondria are key components in the anti-aging equation. Keeping them safe and charged is essential to healthy aging....

Mitochondrial Function: The Other Half Of The Anti-Aging Story
Telomere science changed everything we knew about aging. But today, I want to talk to you about the other half of the anti-aging equation.
Regular readers will already know by protecting your telomeres, you can slow — and even reverse — the aging process.
You see, your telomeres are like little countdown clocks that protect the DNA in your cells. They shorten with each cell division. And the shorter they get the faster you develop the signs of aging. So by protecting and nourishing them, you can literally turn back the years.
I was one of the first doctors to put telomere science to the test. And for years, I’ve bee...

Natural Stress-Buster that Lets You Live Longer
As you know, one of the main areas of focus at my wellness clinic is non-invasive, natural therapies for anti-aging.
That’s why when patients come to me with what they call the “symptoms of old age,” I feel compelled to set them on the right course.
And I can tell you that the literally thousands of patients I’ve seen with these “symptoms” over the years have left my clinic – some even as skeptics – and returned renewed and rejuvenated.
But, I confess, the cure was easy. Because usually their problems were not “symptoms” at all.
They were the side-effects of our pill-push...

Lifespan Of Fruit Flies Boosted By Nearly 25 Percent By Herbal Extract
The herbal extract of a yellow-flowered mountain plant long used for stress relief was found to increase the lifespan of fruit fly populations by an average of 24 percent, according to UC Irvine researchers.
