As trends come and go, certain foods are demonized. First it was fat, then sugar, cholesterol, carbohydrates, grains, nuts, wheat, corn, fruits, vegetables, and more.  Now, seed oils are the new food enemy. Seed oils are in everything from salad dressings and fast food to processed foods, snacks, protein bars, and even baby formula. Critics blame seed oils for obesity, inflammation, and chronic disease. However, as always, there is more to the story. Even the term “seed oil” is misleading, as it fails to distinguish between oils that have been a healthy part of traditional diets for centuries and those found in ultra-processed foods.

Summer is a great time to take a break from electronics, also known as a “digital detox,” and reconnect with nature. This short-term strategy involves reducing or eliminating the use of technology. The goal is to connect with the real world, improve focus, and reduce stress.

Electropollution refers to the excessive presence of artificial electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in our environment due to the widespread use of modern electrical and wireless technologies. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are invisible energy waves emitted by natural and man-made sources. Unlike natural EMFs (e.g., those from the Earth’s magnetic field or sunlight), artificial EMFs are man-made and often much higher in intensity and frequency, particularly in the radiofrequency (RF) and microwave range. These EMF sources include cell phones, WiFi and Bluetooth devices, smart meters, power lines, microwave ovens, and other electronic devices.

Seafood is an excellent source of essential nutrients, including lean protein, omega-3 fats, iodine, and selenium. However, concerns about seafood toxins have prompted health practitioners to advise caution when selecting fish and shellfish. Some of the toxins found in seafood include:

Many people underestimate the toxic exposure in the aftermath of unavoidable disasters. An example is the recent wildfires that burned thousands of homes, buildings, and acreage in Los Angeles. Consider everything that was burning:

It’s possible to increase GLP-1 naturally without the side effects of risky pharmaceuticals. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone produced naturally in the L-cells of the small intestine and released in response to food intake. It’s nature’s built-in appetite suppressant that helps you manage your weight and stabilize your blood sugar, but GLP-1 also helps eliminate those mid-afternoon energy crashes and late-night snack cravings. 

“Forever chemicals” are inside almost all of us! This name refers to a group of man-made chemicals known as PFAS (per and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) used in industrial and consumer products. They’re labeled “forever” since these chemicals persist in the environment and the human body. A recently released Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) report shows some alarming PFAS test results. It shows a staggering 7,457 U.S. locations identified with PFAS in their water supply.¹ PFAS contamination is becoming what scientists feared—a public health disaster in the making.

The spike protein (S protein) is a SARS-CoV-2 virus (coronavirus) component that helps the virus enter healthy cells. It latches onto receptors called ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2), penetrating host cells and causing infection. The spike protein forms a structure called a spike on the outside of an enveloped virus. It’s what gives coronaviruses their crown-like appearance. The word corona is Latin for “crown.”
