Negative Influences – comparisons, social cues and the herd
If the herd was happier and healthier, we would follow them.
Energy Acquisition and Energy Consumption
Acquiring food used to be hard work. Whether it was walking to a water source to obtain water, gathering fruit, or hunting a large animal and dragging it to camp. Now you can get your hands on a meal without ever leaving your car!
Grass-fed vs. feedlot/industrial beef
Animals that are raised on unnatural industrial farms and feedlots with their lack of movement, abundance of toxic fattening foods, and incredibly stressful environments create sick animals. Sick animals make for sick people when consumed.
Chronic Disease Crisis
The number one threat to human life on the planet today is the crisis of chronic disease. And sadly, the vast majority of our resources are directed towards treating the effects of chronic disease, rather than correcting the cause.
Circadian Sleep
It is well known that those who don’t sleep on a healthy cycle suffer from health problems due to their schedule. The way that your body cycles levels of activity throughout the day is called your circadian rhythm. Since lifestyle choices play such a large role in how your body functions, it is important to maximize your personal lifestyle habits to reflect how circadian rhythms are innately programmed.
Best Practices & Vital Behaviors
When researchers look for the road map to success (hence the old adage “success leaves clues”), they study ‘positive deviants”‘- those characteristics or behaviors that are more likely to result in a successful outcome. Best Practices refers to the concepts or strategies common to successful results or consequences.
Omega-3 and Your Health
The fact that our modern culture is terribly deficient in omega-3 essential fatty acids. Essential fatty acids critical structural components of our cells, and many of the body’s physiologic function is dependent upon having sufficient essential fatty acids in general and omega-3 in particular.
Unvaccinated Children
My name is Tetyana Obukhanych. I hold a PhD in Immunology. I am writing this letter in the hope that it will correct several common misperceptions about vaccines in order to help you formulate a fair and balanced understanding that is supported by accepted vaccine theory and new scientific findings.
Flu Shot – yes or no?
Not only do flu shots NOT provide increased immune function/protection (“…inactivated influenza virus vaccines have not been correlated with protection from influenza virus infection.” 1), but flu shots have been shown to INCREASE YOUR CHANCES of getting the flu.2 I know, those statements seem to fly in the face of conventional wisdom …
Sugar – the devil’s food
Sugar wreaks havoc with many of the body’s physiologic systems and plays a central role in the current heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity epidemics. The culprit: plain old sugar, and its thinly disguised evil cousin, high fructose corn syrup. Yes, they will kill you. Maybe not overnight, but over time, sugar and corn syrup-derived sweeteners will erode your health, leading to many fatal diseases.
