Dr. Rogers is the most brilliant and accomplished woman I have ever known. She is so far ahead of the pack that sometimes it is a little hard to keep up with her. This past Saturday’s show was one of those times. She discussed a fundamental reason that some people are more susceptible to the […]
This blog was submitted by Julio A. Salado, a previous guest on Healthy by Nature. He is a popular fitness trainer in the Boston area as well as an author and an educator. I thought the topic was very important. Sarcopenia is the muscle wasting condition that is all too common with aging. Who wants […]
It is a myth that strokes are only a risk for the elderly. Case in point, actor Luke Perry (star of Beverly Hills, 90210‘ and ‘Riverdale’ died from one at age 52! Stroke can happen at any age and apparently fame and fortune don’t protect you. A stroke is when the brain is deprived of […]
When Dr. Ross Pelton was on the show last Saturday, he offered our listeners a copy of his FREE Quick Reference Guide to Drug-Induced Nutrient Depletions. Click the title to download it. One of the topics he covers is the number drugs that damage our friendly gut bacteria. My most recent book, The Probiotic Cure: Harnessing […]
When should you worry about coronavirus? Worry if you are trapped indoors in Wuhan, China with people who already have the virus; you have a seriously compromised immune system; and do not have access to sunshine, supplements, or US medical care.

The Super Bowl is commonly called “National Hangover Day.” I always advise alternating alcoholic beverages with water and taking extra vitamin C. Mr. Sardi told us about a natural substance, myricetin, which you […]

I’ll review some of that below, but first some good news: A newly published 11-year Japanese study of almost 93,000 persons showed important benefits from certain food products made from fermented soy. The foods miso and natto were […]
For more than 50 years, radio commentator Paul Harvey famously surprised us with “rest of the story”. These days, a fly on the wall would often hear me muttering “but what about…” as I read / listen to news reports about health. Here are three examples: “The body’s ‘normal’ temperature has dropped.” As the Scientific […]
One hundred years ago, cancer was the #5 cause of premature death. When we began our conventional “WAR on cancer” in 1971 (almost 50 years ago) it was #3. Today it is #2 (unless you count the total of medication side effects, medical mistakes, hospital acquired infections, etc. which would push cancer back to #3). […]
Well, maybe not so much “easy” as they are potentially manageable. One reason that “turn-over-a-new-leaf” resolutions often fail is that folks bite off too much thereby setting themselves up to fail. (Some also just set a goal weight reduction rather than working on being healthy first.) Studies at Stanford University offered tips for forming good […]
