The best anti-yeast protocol to combat holiday bloating, speed weight loss, and more.
You just can’t escape yeast. Candida albicans is in the air, in your throat, and in your gut. That’s a fact of life. This yeast is everywhere, coexisting with all the other microorganisms.

You can end up with intense fatigue, sinus pain, headaches, joint problems, urinary… Continue reading Categories

For some, Christmas means heartache.
The holidays. For most people it means a joyous time, overflowing with family gatherings, beautiful decorations, wonderful gifts, food and drink, and revered memories of our own childhood. It’s a special time for love, intimacy, and matters of the heart.

New evidence suggests that gamma linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 essential fat, may prevent weight regain following major weight loss. The Department of Nutrition at the University of California conducted a yearlong double-blind study involving fifty formally obese people. They were randomized to receive either 890 mg of GLA per day or the placebo of 5 g per day of olive oil, and their body weight and composition was assessed at 0, 3, and 12 months.
Upon completion of the study, those who received GLA had… Continue reading A Weird and Wonderful Gift for the Person Who Has Everything
