Anti-Aging Information

My preventitive health doctor encourages routine body detoxing as we live in a toxic world and we’re all exposed to heavy metals and toxic chemicals.  He suggests using an infrared sauna at least twice a week to help with detoxification. An infrared sauna is different to a dry sauna in that it uses the same […]

After reading ‘Breakthrough – 8 Steps to Wellness’, I was inspired to find my own Preventive/Anti-Aging Doctor. And I found the best in my city. He’s full of incredible cutting-edge health ideas and an all-round great guy which is a bonus. I am so excited with the results that I’ve seen in the last year […]

Qigong for Health

by You Be Healthy

I am always looking for new health modalities to incorporate into my preventive health ‘program’ (aka Life!).  The most recent addition is Qigong which I love! I am currently taking a 6 week Qigong workshop where we learn exercises which can be done at home.  After doing these exercises, I feel serene, grounded, healthy and […]

I absolutely love Dr. Christiane Northrup!  She is an incredible writer, speaker and doctor (OB/GYN).  Her views on the mind/body/spirit connection to good health are empowering and inspiring.  “Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom” and “The Wisdom of Menopause” are just two of the fantastic books she has written. In the video below, Dr. Northrup speaks to […]

One of the first things my anti-aging doctor did was have me take 2.5mg of melatonin (sublingual) every night when heading off to sleep.  He said this was one of the biggest anti-cancer things I could do for myself and recommends anyone over the age of 30 take melatonin at night. As we get older, […]

Part of the ‘Nutrition Prescription’ by my anti-aging doctor is to increase the protein component in the mornings. I now add 30 grams of protein (whey ion-exchange) to my breakfast smoothie which I drink while taking my supplements.  If I’m out of whey, I substitute with a large egg white omelette.  I’ll also have a […]

I am back from my latest visit with my preventive health/anti-aging doctor!  We went over my latest test results and did a ‘truncal body fat’ test (the one where they pinch fat with calipers!). Today I will talk about my testosterone.  Yes, you are all getting to know me very well! 🙂 My Testosterone My […]

Blood Sugar and Insulin

by You Be Healthy

In and of itself, glucose (sugar) is not a bad thing. In fact, it is necessary for providing energy to cells. But when we disrupt our body’s natural balance-by eating too much sugar or too many carbs, blood sugar levels can fall or rise too quickly and lead to serious conditions including Syndrome X, insulin […]

Resveratrol in a Nutshell

I have been taking resveratrol ever […]
