My simple diet approach: 1. Avoid refinement & industrial processing. 2. If hungry, eat protein & fat first. 3. Use naturally occurring carbs. 4. When in doubt, derive food from animals. 5. Use plant/fungi for specific purposes, with proper preparation.

If you are experiencing infertility, men or women, there is a reason for it. You are not just down on your luck, or a member of an unlucky gene-pool. There’s a high likelihood that you are doing something to cause it. Your body is not stupid. It knows something is wrong, and is not interested in conception. We are not cattle to be prodded surgically or injected with a concoction to sustain a pregnancy. Get to the root cause.

More butter on a slice of toast, means you are less likely to have the appetite to eat another slice of toast. More healthy fat + less carbs. Simpl calculus.

My hospital announced that as of the official end of the "emergency" declaration, May 12th, no more masking will be recommended anywhere. You see, up until May 12th, we were allowed to take off our masks as long as patients and visitors didn't see us. Ivy league reasoning.

Western Medicine has a tendency to blame your body for illness. -cholesterol -blood pressure -autoimmunity You name it. Few people stop to ask: "Why would your body be harming itself?" This is #FiatMedicine

The popularity of Epigenetics is an indicator that people are waking up to the complexity of biology, health and disease. The more we can explain with environmental interactions, the less we need to explain with 'genetics.' "It's genetic" is the shrinking god-of-the-gaps.

It's wild to hear how many people willingly interfere with their natural hormonal rhythms, so they can more carelessly exhaust their youth. And our industry is pushing these things like it's candy.

From an imaging perspective, such as on MRI or CT scans, inflammation and cancer are often indistinguishable. That's also true of histopathologic evaluation. There's a lesson in there.

There is increased use of skin products, clothing, and gear with sun-blocking qualities. People in developed countries are spending way more time indoors and under artificial light. But, the increasing rates of skin cancer is the Sun's fault. Make it make sense. image

What makes allopathic medicine (MD) different from most 'alternative' medicine? MDs often (not always) come to management decisions on the basis that the body is wrong, and it needs to be intervened on. Be corrected. Most popular alternative medicines take a different approach. IMO, the over-riding motifs within alternative practices of medicine are: -we are not giving the body something it needs -we are doing something wrong to our body -both of the above, but to the mind -and don't forget the soul This is very different than MDs We can appreciate this difference: -your blood pressure is too high -your blood sugar is too high -your blood cholesterol is too high -your [insert organ] is dysfunctional Most of the solutions proposed are aimed at correcting the measurable manifestation of the problem. Despite what most MDs are taught...they do, in fact, treat the numbers. Blood pressure? Treat the # Blood sugar? Treat the # Cholesterol? # We will stick to these 3 for arguments sake. All of them are prescribed drugs. Until they aren't enough, and you need surgery. Nobody stops to think: -What is accounting for the tension in the body to cause hypertension? -How am I causing my body to be resistant to insulin? -Why is my body needing to pump out so much cholesterol? Your body isn't stupid. It knows what it is doing, very well! You want to believe that you know more about your body, than your body? Your body has billions of years of evolved wisdom. Your mind, not so much. Even your doctor. Definitely not smarter than your body. Then, after the medication you are prescribed masks the symptoms without addressing the problem. Inevitably, the problem gets worse. But you have silenced the feedback mechanism your body was using. And if your doctor is 'smart,' the drug also adjusts your lab values. Mask the symptoms ✅ Normalize the labs ✅ Congratulations, now you have no way of knowing if the underlying problem is getting worse or better. That is until the problem builds-up. Over years and years. Until one day...you need something new. Unexpectedly, the blood pressure and cholesterol you have been masking has contributed to coronary artery disease. Even the vessels in your brain are getting narrowed. You have a stroke, or a heart attack. Now, you need surgery! Alternatively, all the toxins and inflammation you have been inflicting on your body eventually causes a tumor to form. Now, we need to cut our a body part. Irradiate your body. Inject chemotoxins into your bloodstream. I think you get it. Look, I don't like to talk about my profession in this manner. It's just something that I have been coming to terms with, and trying to understand how we can correct our path. No matter how bad, we should always strive to improve what we love doing.
