  For parents, there is no greater tragedy than the loss of a child, particularly a young child. In this context, most parents will do virtually anything to protect their children and make their lives better. When COVID emerged, state and federal authoritarians continuously delivered their key COVID talking points: social distance, wash your hands, and most importantly, wear a mask. One family of four took this even further. When the father came home from work, he disinfected his shoes, immediately put his clothes in the wash, and quickly took a shower. In other words, this family thought they were doing everything they possibly could to protect against getting infected. Unfortunately, this was not the case and the 12-year old daughter died from COVID-19 (1). At this point, very few would likely argue that mask-wearing has NOT become a media focus…you don’t just need to social distance; you need to social distance and wear a mask. In fact, we are also repeatedly told that if you do...

  Everyone knows that a lack of impulse control is why people overeat and indulge in other unhealthy vices. The problem for most people is that they do not understand the nature of the pleasure-driving impulses…that is, where the impulses come from and how to modulate their power, so the impulses are less compelling. Instead, most people “feel” and “believe” that they “are” the impulses and so rather than fighting the impulses, most indulge. The especially difficult challenge with food is that we need it to survive. That is, we cannot live without food. In contrast, one can live without infidelity, drugs, over-drinking, and gambling, which is why most people are able to avoid these vices. Food is more problematic because we need it to survive and now in the modern day, an excess amount of calories are everywhere we go in our “obesogenic” environment, so it is not surprising that most people are overweight or obese. To over come eating and other vices, we need to understand the natu...

Chronic inflammation is a popular topic today, but do people really understand what it is? And the answer is… NO. For this reason, I wrote a new book entitled The DeFlame Diet to Stop your Joints,Muscles,and Bones from Rotting. What is chronic inflammation? It is a low-grade, non-healing state that, over time, leads to tissue and organ degeneration. In common language, this means that your body is literally “rotting”. My new book outlines the biological rotting process as it occurs in body fat, arteries, joints, muscles, tendons, bones, spinal discs, obese body fat, and the nervous system, which leads to chronic pain, heart attacks, and depression. In this book, you will learn that all of these conditions are promoted by the same pro-inflammatory diet, which means that The DeFlame Diet should be applied to all of these conditions. The DeFlame Diet can be vegan, omnivore, and even carnivore. It can be Paleo or ketogenic. This means that the goal of any diet should be to normalize inflam...

Iodine is most known for its relationship to the production of thyroid hormones. Not well known is that iodine also functions as a key antioxidant that protects cell membrane fatty acids from free radical attack. This is important for all cell membranes, however, in the context of disease risk, it is especially important for protection against breast cancer and prostate cancer (1,2). The Japanese population consumes between 1000-3000 micrograms (mcg) per day (1), which is derived largely from seaweed and less from fish. It turns out that seaweed and fish are natural sources of both omega-3 fatty acids and iodine, which is one of the reasons why a traditional Japanese diet is so healthy and associated with minimal disease risk. Iodine naturally complexes with cell membrane fatty acids to create what is called an iodolipid, which is resistant to free radical attack compared to fatty acids without iodine (2). In the United States, the upper limit recommendation for iodine is only 11...

In recent years, many people have been convinced that counting calories is not necessary if you want to lose weight and then manage your weight properly. I do not understand this view; it is, in fact, quite foolish. Calories in food come from three macronutrients, which include carbohydrate, protein, and fat. We get about 4 calories for every gram of carbohydrate and protein we consume. In contrast, we get about 9 calories for every gram of fat consumed. You can witness this math in action on the label of any packaged food. The total calories are provided based on grams of carbohydrate, protein, and fat contained in a serving size. Whenever we exceed our caloric needs, the body stores the excess calories as fat in specialized cells called adipocytes, which are more commonly known as fat cells. There is an odd misconception that it is primarily dietary fat that stored in fat cells; which is COMPLETELY incorrect. If you were to eat a low carbohydrate and low protein diet, the prima...
