Don’t Do It! Don’t Go On A Diet!

I know you’re full of new January resolve (and maybe a few too many holiday indulgences) but diets don’t work (you know that, don’t you?).  And there is a better way. Cutting calories doesn’t work.  It just sets you up for an even slower metabolism and a worse rebound.  Exercise can help, but exercise alone won’t get you to your goals.  And besides, most people spend way...

Top 7 Foods That Slow Your Aging

Top 7 Foods That Slow Your Aging. Great article by Dr. Mercola.  Did you know he also studied with Dietrich Klinghardt, and incorporates much of Dr Klinghardt’s teaching in his principles?  I think this article is a great primer. A few notes: See my article on protein shakes for my whey recommendations. I’m so glad he makes the point that you can not ingest glutathione directly. I see a lot of people...

Women: How to make your 40s and 50s fabulous

From Fran’s column, Holistic Outlook, in The Times Herald Record. Is it true that, for women, aging means gaining weight, lost libido, thinning hair and increasing aches, pains and physical woes?
