The copper connection to low thyroid, fatigue, anxiety, and insomnia.
Diagnosing copper overload is more of an art than an exact science. Ironically many people who have copper overload don’t initially test high in copper—at least 50% of my clients don’t—when they take a Tissue Mineral Analysis. Their metabolism is so depressed that the copper is tightly stored in tissue and hasn’t yet been released into circulation and deposited in the hair.
Yet, if they begin treatment for copper overload, eating a low-copper, high-zinc diet and taking supplements to boost their metabolism… Continue reading Categories

Say goodbye to cravings, bloating, and possible thyroid problems.
Yeast is definitely nobody's BFF. But it can be with us for life—which is why I was so happy to finally read an article about yeast overgrowth on the front page of the Lifestyle section in the Spokesman Review. Yeast is finally getting the respect it deserves. And it’s about time because I believe nearly 50 million of us suffer from that subclinical fungus among us.
Yeast plays a very insidious role in weight gain—and can contribute to nearly 30 pounds of flab in some cases. Why? It's because yeast is… Continue reading Sweetheart Recipe for V-Day

Two tasty "super" foods help protect your heart—without packing on pounds.
Who doesn't like chocolate? New research puts it right up there with acai and blueberries as a "super" fruit. You may be delighted to know that dark chocolate has significantly more antioxidants and flavonoids than the juice of these fruits.
In fact, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Family Heart Study found that chocolate is linked to lower incidence of coronary heart disease. After following almost 5,000 Americans 25 and older, scientists concluded that eating dark chocolate is clearly heart healthy.
Phenol-rich chocolate… Continue reading Even Couch Potatoes Can Beat Those Winter Blues

Lighten up.
Seasonal Affective Disorder—starting in late fall with light deprivation—and subsiding with the longer, sunnier days of spring, is becoming an increasingly frequent type of depression reported by many of my clients—especially those between 15 and 55 years of age. Up to 20% of Americans experience depression during the winter months—called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). And that's too bad, because the fix is so simple!
Did you Know?
Symptoms are similar to other forms of depression: lethargy, fatigue, decreased energy, lowered sex drive, avoidance of social activities, sadness, concentration problems, and irritability. SAD can make… Continue reading The Stress Syndrome of the 21st Century

How to beat adrenal burnout and recharge your batteries for the New Year.
So, you’re a night owl and can’t get up in the morning? And, I bet you’re eating that whole bag of chips just because you can’t seem to get enough salt. You still aren’t losing that tummy fat, no matter how much you exercise or diet, and I imagine you are probably addicted to excessive exercise. You most likely have low blood pressure and frequently get light-headed when you stand up quickly. You’re also really dragging in the afternoon between… Continue reading The Newest Approach to Fix Your Thyroid

Zap-proof your home and ground your body.
Recently a friend I hadn’t seen for some time complained that she couldn’t lose weight—no matter what she did. A highly skilled massage therapist very attuned to the physical body, this woman had mysteriously put on 30 pounds and also developed a strange growth on her thyroid that even her doctor couldn’t explain nor understand.
As we spoke and I told her about electropollution, the topic of Zapped, it suddenly dawned on her that she first began to experience mono-like symptoms… Continue reading Reason to Give Thanks

Consider this anti-aging secret that's been around for decades.
What if there was a safe way to eliminate anxiety and depression, colds and infections, joint pain and headaches, fatigue, heart disease and high blood pressure, even osteoporosis? Surprisingly, there is a substance that repairs old and damaged cell membranes so that they absorb nutrients more efficiently. The results? Dramatic mental and physical improvements—including less mortality.
As with most great innovations, procaine (the prime active ingredient in GH-3) was discovered by accident. In 1949, Dr. Ana Aslan at the National Geriatric Institute in Bucharest… Continue reading Take Your Body to the Cleaners

Lower your toxic load and shed unwanted body fat with safe autumn detox.
Worldwide, obesity is on the rise. The Centers for Disease Control describes American society as "obesogenic," promoting increasingly unhealthy foods, increased food intake, and physical inactivity.
In today's petrochemical world, the more fat you store in your body, the more toxins you retain. Nearly 100,000 toxins assault your body on a daily basis—even at low levels. Many of these, like pesticides and plastics, can disrupt metabolism, contributing to overweight and obesity.
"Automobile exhaust (in air), heavy metals (in food and… Continue reading What You Can Learn from the Birds and Bees

Simple ways to avoid the growing problems associated with man-made frequencies.
What do bees, birds (not just canaries), and humans have in common? We're all sensitive to the rapidly proliferating expansion of man-made energy from antennae, cell and cordless phones, digital devices, electrical and electronic equipment, microwaves, radio waves, PDAs, satellite TVs, and wireless.
Birds will avoid microwave radiation if they can; they collapse within seconds if they can't. And bee colony collapse—a worldwide phenomenon with potentially devastating impact on our food supply since these insects are prime pollinators—has recently been linked to… Continue reading The Newest Plague Unveiled

Could you be allergic to electricity?
On November 9th, I did a 3-hour interview on Coast-to-Coast Radio and your personal stories of electrosensitivity issues have been pouring in ever since.
Rosy H. from Facebook:
"After hearing you on Coast-to-Coast, I unplugged the cell phone right next to my computer and I can't believe how much better I feel...I couldn't figure out why just stepping into my office would make me so nauseated everyday...maybe it’s a placebo, maybe not, but it's unplugged and I am so glad to… Continue reading
