The modern diet’s reliance on sugar and refined carbohydrates has contributed directly to today’s epidemic of chronic disease. The less sugar you consume over your lifetime, the healthier your body and brain are likely to be. How Sugar Affec

Published September 30, 2020 Have you ever looked back on your life and recognized that some of the most challenging events, though perhaps experienced as painful at the time, gave you your own unique perspective and skill set?

Published January 30, 2018 In 2012, after a brief period of physical decline, I found myself bedridden and unable to move for 8 months. I was entirely helpless and relied on others for all of my needs. My previous life had been all about fitness, yet here I was without the strength to lift my head or hold a cell phone, let alone stand. My nervous system was in a terrifying state of disarray, either over or under responsive, that I would best describe as a neurological firesto
