This is a rare opportunity to learn from someone else’s experience on how they responded to an unexpected family crisis through quick thinking and avoided what could have been something far worse. The point of this conversation with the mother of the family is that she had to think on her feet and was determined to seek help even when it wasn’t medically encouraged. This is more than a cautionary tale of someone’s Covid experience, but a lesson that I hope will make you more prepared if you have...

These medications give insight into what else can be used and why they are effective. However since t...

What started as a disagreement between Dr. Rob Cywes and myself about whether protein when eaten ‘turns to sugar (glucose) in your blood stream' grew into an academic debate. Doug Reynolds thought this would be a great podcast. Here is that podcast in two parts with a brief intro about what the heart of the issue is all about. As a way of further setting up the topic I spliced in a portion of Dr. Bikman presentation on protein and the insulin / glucagon ratio. All very interesting comments. The ...

It’s important to ‘remember where you came from’ as the saying goes. In our case, it’s a very short step back in time to re-experience how our health incinerated around us from colossal personal loss of everything we worked for, coupled with a grim diagnosis of my wife's brain tumor, and loss of my only brother, and mother. It all exceeded my ability to cope. I crumbled into (what I was told by the physicians treating me) severe lifelong illness with no cure (was told it was worst crohns and ulc...

As a ‘culture’ we have become not only hooked on carbohydrates but on process foods specifically. This has Hacked our metabolism and created an epidemic of obesity and diabetes that is already at 40% of the population in some states (W. Virginia and Mississippi).

Most of us have some idea what dementia is. Though we toss the word ‘demented’ around as a put down, Dementia, and Alzheimers experienced up close is difficult to witness. In part why it is so difficult to watch others go through the decline is because much of it can be avoided entirely by adopting a Low Carb High Fat Ketogenic diet. If there was one specific condition that is most improved by ketones, this would be it. In fact, unlike other conditions that can be improved by a ketogenic diet, t...

A key sign of an addict is the craving for their addictive substance or need for a "fix". A food fix, like any drug fix, is an attempt to experience the dopamine high needed by any addict .

At a population level, male testosterone levels and reproductive health are plummeting at a precipitous rate . These changes cannot be accounted for solely by comorbid (associated) conditions such as metabolic syndrome. Other factors are the dramatic and damaging effects of endocrine disruptors.

I’ve always thought that what the world is sorely in need of today is critical thinkers.

This is such a story that will definitely affect you personally. If you know your homocysteine levels or know that they are high than you better listen up. Besides it is a v...

The question I keep asking myself is why is it we always hear about that some people can’t or don’t get positive results with a Ketogenic diet (aka Low Carb High Fat). Whether it is the Virta Health study or any one of various Obesity and Lifestyle Clinics around the country. It is pretty much common knowledge that about 50 % will get positive results, which usually mean weight loss or reversing diabetes. However that also means that 50% of those attempting the LCHF diet did not find any positiv...

There’s two concepts that drive my passion for learning about and helping people implement the ‘Keto’ life style, and those are: 1. In order to be healthy in a progressively unhealthy world we need to think and act differently, and2. In order help people regain their health ( weight loss in this instance) one needs to look where where others haven’t looked in order to see, to understand, what others haven’t seen or don’t see. My point is that things have become more complicated today in terms un...
