“ I ’ m losing my hair on the Wheat Belly lifestyle! ”
It’s a complaint I hear occasionally from people starting the Wheat Belly lifestyle: “I’m losing my hair. Big clumps of hair fall out when I brush!”
Why does this happen? And is it permanent? Will people become bald after a few months?
Take a look at the many before/afters people have posted on the Wheat Belly Facebook page and the photos I’ve posted over the years on the Wheat Belly Blog. Even within the first few days, we commonly witness a curious and dramatic reduction in facial swelling, reduction in around-the-eye puffiness, reversal of skin redness. Many people look quite different. In ...

Isagenix. – Diet Review
Conclusion – Does Isagenix Work?
Isagenix Isalean’s shake is marketed well, but it’s loaded with sugar and calories. There’s also a lot of protein added, but once you research what kinds of ingredients are included, you realize it’s not a quality meal replacement. The protein added is cheap and can be found for a reduced price elsewhere. Many customers have also complained about the taste, lack of weight loss, and the hard to drink consistency.
There are better options which have only 1 gram of sugar, no added fructose, only high quality whey protein, and great reviews to back up their weight loss claims. T...

Some Vitamins Can Cause False Test Results but Not Harm
Biotin, a great supplement for nail and hair growth along with many other positive things for your body, has been recently linked to impacting test results for several conditions and diseases. The FDA has put out an alert that the biotin that you ingest, can cause false readings on certain test results for things such as thyroid and heart disease. Though biotin itself, does not cause these issues, it can make the symptoms of certain diseases to be missed, as they will not show up on the tests results. It is always a good idea to consult with your doctor when taking supplements. To find out more information, click on the li...

8 Foods that Boost Your Mood
What we eat might not be able to cure us indefinitely from depression. I learned that hard lesson earlier this year. However, researchers are compiling strong evidence that what we eat can influence our risk for developing depression and can keep persons in remission from possibly relapsing.
Eating better foods has certainly helped my mood and allowed me to get by on less medication. A 2014 review published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition examined the link between diet and depression risk and found that a diet consisting mainly of fruit, vegetables, fish, and whole grains was significantly associated with a r...

A Sample of Recent Work on New Means of Detecting and Targeting Senescent Cells
Senescent cells are receiving a great deal more attention from the research community these days, as illustrated by the two papers on methods of senescent cell identification I'll point out today. How things have changed; it wasn't only a few short years ago that scientists struggled to raising funding for animal studies of senescent cell removal, in an environment of little interest in this aspect of cellular biology. That was the state of the field despite the weight of evidence, gathered over decades, for increased cellular senescence in old tissues to be a root cause of aging and age-related disease. Now that studies h...

How does Tresemme Beauty-Full Volume Reverse Wash haircare system work? Episode 151
This study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology says that citrus products contain psoralens and fur-O-coumarins which can stimulate certain cancers when they’re exposed to light. The study looked at the diets of over 100,000 people over the course of 4 years. After controlling for other factors, the melanoma risk was found to by 36% higher in people who ate citrus fruits more than 1.5 times per day. So I’m sure it won’t be long before some enterprising beauty company starts selling sunscreen in the produce aisle of the grocery store.

Is Charlotte Tilbury Multi-miracle cream really worth it?
Jo asks…I love Charlotte Tilbury’s Multi-Miracle Glow product but I’m afraid I spent too much and I worry that it really provides any benefits. Can you tell me if it has any special properties and if not is there a more budget conscious version?

Pura d’or Hair Loss Prevention Premium Organic Shampoo: Look at the label
Believe it or not this hair loss prevention shampoo is a top beauty seller on Amazon.com. Let’s look at the label to see if it has a chance in hell of actually preventing hair loss.
The good news is the shampoo uses one of the mildest cleansing ingredients you can buy – sodium cocoyl isethionate. The bad news is it costs $22 for 16 ounces which is expensive. There are other shampoos based on the same ingredient which you can get for much cheaper.
More good news: if you read the claims carefully you’ll see that it really is just a shampoo and not a drug product. More bad news: they throw in all sorts o...
