This week, I talked about foods that can interfere with fat loss. Hazelnuts and kiwi fruit, right??? Shocking stuff. Ultra processed foods, sugar, refined carbohydrates, juice and sweetened drinks, non-organic animal products. We also talked about how early menopause can increase a woman’s risk of cardiovascular disease. Less hormones means less resilient blood vessels, more […]

This week, we talked about iron deficiency anemia, because Ron has it! We think it’s from the baby aspirin he took for four years as directed by his cardiologist. He stopped, and he’s now taking iron. We hope he’ll get his energy back soon! I also gave an update on the surgery I don’t need […]

This week, I talked about local herbs and how they can help, like autumn olive, goldenrod, and chicory. I continued the series on better sleep, with a good mention of yoga nidra, a guided meditation that can really help with good sleep and energy! We also focused on the best temperature for sleep.

This week, the MRI showed that I have post-surgical epidural fibrosis over my L4 left thecal sac and left L4 nerve root! That is the likely cause of my continuing femoral nerve pain. I will see the neurosurgeon this week to find out next steps. Meanwhile, I’ve gotten going on a number of natural remedies to […]

This week, I talked about monounsaturated fats (MUFAs) and what they can do for you. All good stuff, mostly related to cardiovascular health! Then I talked about two of the best nuts to get MUFAs, macadamia and pistachios. They’re good for you in so many ways! Then I talked about sleep: why you don’t sleep as […]

This week, I talked about how an electrostim device may be helpful for back pain, nerve pain, and spinal stenosis pain. Just attach electrodes and get an auto-massage! Then, CREATINE, it’s all the rage, and probably can be helpful for you too! The Mediterranean diet is studied to be protective against stroke risk in women. […]

This week, I talked about what it’s like to get a tooth extraction! No straws, no hot/spicy, no crunchy! Then I talked about LOWER respiratory illnesses, since I talked about UPPER ones last week. Coughs and mucus, supplements and herbs to take, teas to drink, and lots of hydrotherapy! We finished with how to prevent […]

This week, I did a review of natural care for colds and flus, since people are gang-housed indoors and spreading the viruses! Neti-pots, nasal sprays, teas, herbs, vitamins, rest, diet, all the things! Your natural primer for your winter immune system.

This week, I talked about what it was like to get laser iridotomy surgery! As with most things, it wasn’t that bad. Still using drops for a few more days and will have the next one later in the month. I then talked about lots of ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day when you’re single, with […]

This week, I gave the update on my femoral nerve (may be over-exercising) and my narrow angles (going to have the iridotomies!) We talked about narrow angles and how they are treated. Looks like they’re more conservative in the UK and China; in the US, you get those iridotomies! We talked about natural ways to keep […]

This week, I talked about getting a PRP (platelet rich plasma) injection in my right knee to treat osteoarthritis. It was a fairly easy experience! I have minor swelling, and Dr. Zach said expect it to improve slowly over a couple of weeks. I also got diagnosed with NARROW ANGLES in my eyes WITHOUT increased eye […]

This week, I talked about lingering nerve issues for both myself and Ron since our respective surgeries. I have discovered that compression is helpful, specifically compression wear! I have most of my discomfort in my lateral left thigh, and when I wear a sleeve in that area, it significantly calms the discomfort, at least while I’m wearing […]

This week, I gave the wrapup for popular health news and topics in 2025. People were interested in longevity and healthy aging; those notorious GLP-1 and GIP drugs for weight loss; the best vitamins, minerals, and supplements for health. Big stories dealt with when the body starts aging rapidly; protein powders and lead levels; measles outbreaks […]

This week, I talked about this cold that’s going around, that prevented me from making a new show last week! It makes you tired, the mucus goes backwards and gives you a sore throat, and the thing sticks around for 2-4 weeks. Good times! Here’s all sorts of natural ways to address it. I also talked […]

This week, it was a hodgepodge of good stuff! First, we talked about Japanese fitness walking, or interval walking training (IWT). Gentler than high intensity interval training, and so many health benefits! Then we discussed how longer, sustained walks positively affect health. And the five essential Japanese morning exercises! We touched on red light therapy for […]
