Product labels can be deceiving, hiding risky chemicals that contaminate your food while boasting approval from organizations that seem to protect your health but do anything but that.
There are over 3,000 food additives in our food supply, many of which have never been tested for safety. Shockingly, the average American consumes three to five pounds of these chemicals each year.
Instead, I encourage you to eat natural, whole foods that come from a farmer’s field, not a food chemist’s laboratory. This way, you won't have to worry about all these misleading food claims.
Focus on filling your plate with more vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, seeds, whole grains, lean animal proteins—like small wild fish and poultry—and whole omega-3 eggs. By choosing real food, you’re choosing better health.
New research highlights the profound benefits of organic diets for children's health. According to a recent study, just five days of consuming organic foods significantly reduces children's exposure to pesticides commonly used in agriculture. This dietary shift not only lowers pesticide concentrations in their bodies but also correlates with a remarkable 60.5% decrease in overall pesticide levels observed in both children and adults.
Additionally, opting for organic has been shown to decrease oxidative stress, promoting better long-term health outcomes. Make the switch to organic today for a cleaner, healthier future! 🌱
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Your brain, your choice.
Without question, there are certain gene variants that are associated with increased Alzheimer’s risk, but it’s now quite clear that gene variants, like carrying the APOE ε4 allele, are far less influential in determining who does or does not end up with this devastating condition.
What matters? The decisions we make throughout the day. By making simple choices, you can ensure your mental function stays with you while you add healthy years to your life.
Here’s the science: The more inflammation we have throughout our body, the more difficult it is for the logical part of our brain (the prefrontal cortex) to send vital messages to the emotional, child part of the brain (the amygdala).
Here’s how to get inflammation in check so it isn’t negatively impacting our lifestyle choices:
➡️ Walk or move your body daily.
➡️ Incorporate omega-3 fatty acids into your diet.
➡️ Eat dark, leafy greens.
➡️ Avoid sugar and industrial seed oils.
➡️ Get enough sleep.

The DOGtor’s advice: The park, not parked on the couch. Dog owners are 34% more likely to fit in 150 minutes of walking a week than those who don’t have a dog. Grab the leash and get moving!
Spending time with your dog is good for your mental health. Take DOGtor Daisy’s advice and enjoy some time outside together.
Summer means backyard barbecues! But many of the foods we throw on the grill – like ribs, hot dogs and burgers – can raise the risk for heart disease, as can cooking meat at high temps. But that doesn’t mean you need to close the lid on grilling. Here’s how to cook out healthier.

Let's talk about sugar—did you know it hides under over 60 different names on nutrition labels? From high fructose corn syrup to dextrose, it can be tricky to spot. In the US, a staggering 74% of packaged foods contain added sugars, contributing to health concerns beyond just sweetness.
Research shows sugar can be up to 8 times more addictive than co***ne, affecting our brains in powerful ways. Excessive consumption doesn't just impact our waistlines; it can lead to:
😴Fatigue: Sugar crashes leave us drained and sluggish.
😟Anxiety: Spikes in blood sugar can trigger feelings of unease.
🧠Memory Loss: Studies link high sugar intake to cognitive decline.
🌀ADHD: Sugar can exacerbate symptoms in both children and adults.
⏳Reduced Lifespan: Chronic conditions linked to sugar contribute to shorter life spans.

Each clue takes you a step closer. Can you guess what herb am I?
I am a shrub from the pepper family indigenous to the Pacific Islands, where I have an important ceremonial role and am used therapeutically.[1]
Natural health practitioners often prescribe me for anxiety, nervous debility, sleep, muscular cramping and pain.
I decrease anxiety and relax the body without loss of mental acuity.[1]
The resin from my root is rich in kavalactones and flavonoids. Kavalactone content is a marker of a quality herbal extract.[1]
I possess anxiolytic, mild sedative and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. I’m also a mild analgesic and local anaesthetic.[1]
Not everyone knows I am traditionally used for kidney and bladder problems and genitourinary health.[1]
High quality research supports my role in managing anxiety and improving sleep quality.[2,3]
