How Fast Is Your Dog Aging?
All of us who love dogs are acutely aware that the lifespans of our canine companions are short - much too short. And while the years we spend with a beloved pet seem to fly by, dogs don't just suddenly die when they reach a certain age. They grow older in stages just as we do, but at a tremendously accelerated rate compared to humans. Your four-legged friend may still look and act like a puppy much of the time, but there are age related changes taking place inside him despite his youthful good looks and high energy level.
The lifespan of a dog depends primarily on his size, breed (or breed mix), and health status. As a g...

Get Rid of Toxins to Reduce Risk of Stroke
Effects of Toxins
I’ve been warning you about the toxins in our environment for years.
They cause inflammation…
They make you gain weight…
They cause you to feel fatigued…
Our exposure to them starts before we’re even born.
One study found 287 chemicals and toxins in the blood of newborn babies.1 It’s shocking.
What is in the air we breathe?
We breathe in toxins and air pollutants every day. Carbon dioxide, lead, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter (PM).
Causes of Stroke
Now, a new study reveals that air pollution is responsible for as many as one-third of all strokes.2 That’...

5 Reasons to Add Smoothies to Your Daily Routine
Smoothies seem to be everywhere you turn.

Can You Really Bottle Energy?
You see it almost everywhere these days — energy drinks that advertise the wonder of B vitamins. And they all claim to give you the energy boost to get you through your day.
Sadly, it’s a big marketing ploy. The quick energy in these drinks usually comes from their high sugar and synthetic caffeine content.
It’s true that B vitamins are essential to your body’s energy metabolism. And B12 in particular is crucial for energy.
When you take in high-quality B12, you unlock the energy contained in the foods you eat and turn it into glucose you can burn.
But fortified junk food is no way to get your vitamins. In a minut...

The Most Important Test Your Doctor Won’t Order
I’ve been getting a lot of mail from readers asking a similar question. Most are like this one from MK in Philadelphia: “I’m going for an annual checkup with my doctor soon. I want to make sure I’m getting the right tests. What’s the number one anti-aging test I should ask my doctor for?”
It’s a great question. The problem is your local doctor has probably never even heard of the top anti-aging test I recommend.
You see, I want to know what’s going on with you at the cellular level. And that’s why I think it’s essential to measure your telomeres.
Telomeres are an important part of human cells that af...

We Tried The 'Food Of The Future.' We Don't Want To Live There.
About three years ago, entrepreneur and “serial optimist” Simo Suoheimo got together with a group of friends with a goal in mind. All of them were passionate about food and all of them wanted to create a new form of sustenance -- something particularly geared toward the busiest among us who are also trying to eat as healthily, and sustainably, as possible. The result of those early conversations with his friends-turned-co-founders is Ambronite, a shake mix powder that aims to pack a nourishing punch through 18 fully organic ingredients like oats, coconut and wild berries that, when combined with cold water, kee...

5 Lessons Learned from Switching to a Vegetarian Diet
How do you spend 22 years of your life eating and craving meat, and then one day you stop doing just that. What has to happen in your life for such a dramatic change of events? Is it because you just want a change in your life? You could be doing it purely for health reasons, or perhaps you've become so fond of animals that you are no longer interested in participating in the collective manslaughter of cows, chickens, pigs and other animals we see on our dinner dishes almost every single night. I found that in my case, it was a little bit of all of the above. I do think that my meditation practice had made me more compass...

Save Your Brain
Alzheimer’s is one of the most devastating and dreaded diseases I’m confronted with at my South Florida anti-aging clinic.
And because I’m based in a part of the country that’s a major retirement Mecca, I see more seniors than the average American physician – and proportionally more Alzheimer’s sufferers.
Many patients fear Alzheimer’s more than cancer or any other debilitating disease.
They’re terrified of this cruel, progressive and degenerative illness that attacks the brain, steals memory, confuses thinking, and can turn even the most intelligent and achieving adults into men...

The Easter Bunny Could Soon Bring Safer Candy With Natural Food Colors
Candy left by the Easter Bunny on Sunday morning comes in festive hues of blue, green, yellow and pink, sparking smiles from many kids. This brightly colored loot may be less welcome, however, to a growing number of parents who worry about the potential health hazards the colors reflect.
Could the Blue 1, Red 40 and Yellow 5 dyes, for example, found in Peeps marshmallow chicks, Whoppers Mini Robin Eggs, Jelly Belly's Kids Mix and countless other sweets harm their children?
