In case anyone is still not convinced that diet pop is garbage and shouldn't be consumed:

Researchers discovered that sucralose, a chemical found in Splenda, is "genotoxic" and causes DNA damage. The findings show that sucralose is harmful to gut health, and may lead to oxidative stress, inflammation, and even cancer.

I have seen an explosion of patients getting put on ozempic by their doctors for weight loss. This promise of a miracle drug is far from perfect. Not only does it have horrible side effects, it has a very high price tag attached. In my opinion, it is far healthier to address lifestyle, hormonal or metabolic issues that are likely the underlying cause for weight gain than use a weight loss medication because as soon as the person comes off the drug, usually the weight comes right back.

A “huge explosion” in obesity drugs is on the horizon.

So Monsanto and Bayer claim that bathing our food in glyphosates is perfectly safe and has no implication on our health....yet there is this perfectly parallel increase in chronic disease that coincides with the increase of pesticide use on our crops...glad the US has spent millions of dollars on a study to tell us consuming chemicals is bad for us 🤦

Study measured glyphosate in urine and found high levels associated with signs of oxidative stress

Fatigue is something that many patients struggle with especially during the winter. It's important to identify the root cause because treatment can really vary. It can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, stress, poor sleep, adrenal fatigue, hormonal imbalances or chronic illness. We take the time to assess each patient and come up with a treatment plan to optimize health.

Its nice to finally see a study on dietary intervention and type 2 diabetes. I have been helping my patients reduce or come off their meds using intermittent fasting for a long time. Type 2 diabetes can certainly improve or resolve with lifestyle changes. I also use intravenous vitamins and minerals as well as herbs to accomplish this.

People with diabetes who fast intermittently may no longer need medication, according to a new study. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 37 million Americans have diabetes, with around 90-95% having type 2 diabetes. There are effective medications, s
