    26-36 Health Advice To A Doctor And A Preacher

    Episode 26-36 Health Advice To A Doctor And A Preacher One of the hardest things in life is knowing when to speak up… and when to stay quiet. Recently I was placed in such a position. I wasn't sure what to do. Ultimately, I chose to speak up. To say something to two really nice guys. One is a doctor and the other a preacher. I told them that I was concerned about their health. Specifically, I was concerned that they both had Insulin Resistance and that, left uncorrected, it would destroy their health and cut short their lives. Fortunately, they were receptive to my words which allowed me to tell them what I thought they should do to reverse their Insulin Resistance. And THAT'S what I share on this episode: The exact advice I gave this doctor and preacher. Advice I sincerely hope they take. Advice I hope YOU take… and then share with a friend.

    26-35 My 4 Favorite Supplements For Reversing Chronic Disease

    Episode 26-35 My 4 Favorite Supplements For Reversing Chronic Disease Too much sugar (glucose) and/or Insulin floating around in your blood is NOT good for you. Why? Because it damages the lining of your blood vessels which then leads to a host of chronic diseases.  Or, stated another way… Most chronic diseases are caused from having too much sugar and/or Insulin in your blood. If you understand this you can understand that the key to REVERSING chronic disease is found in: 1) Reducing the amount of sugar and Insulin in the blood. 2) Healing the damage that has already occurred. On this episode I talk about whole food, natural supplements that help with this process. Give this episode a good listen if you are interested in a natural approach for preventing, and/or reversing, chronic disease. And, as always, be sure to share this episode with a friend.  Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

    26-34 Reversing Insulin Resistance (and Diabetes) Without Drugs!

    Episode 26-34 Reversing Insulin Resistance (and Diabetes) Without Drugs! On the past two episodes I talked about Insulin Resistance. Specifically, what it is and why it's so harmful to one's health.  (If you haven't already, please give those episodes a listen.) On this episode I talk about what you can do naturally to help prevent and/or reverse Insulin Resistance and its "partner" Type 2 Diabetes. I also share an important "timeline" that lays out the progression of health issues the typical American faces as he/she ages. From simple weight gain to full blown heart disease and/or dementia, the most common ailments in this country follow a predictable timeline. Once you understand this timeline… and the CAUSES behind it… you can begin to take steps to prevent and/or reverse the associated conditions. Steps I lay out on this episode. Give this episode a good listen if you want to prevent, and possibly reverse, Insulin Resistance and the negative health consequences that come with it… including Type 2 Diabetes. And, as always, be sure to share this episode with a friend.  Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

    26-32 Insulin Resistance- The "Silent Killer" You Probably Have (But Don't Know It!)

    Episode 26-32 Insulin Resistance- The "Silent Killer" You Probably Have, But Don't Know It Do you have Insulin Resistance? That's a question you should know the answer to. Why? Because Insulin Resistance is linked to nearly every major chronic disease. Diseases such as High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Alzheimer's, Stroke, Parkinson's, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Obesity, Heart Disease, and Autoimmune Disorders.  Insulin Resistance is also something very few doctors talk about. Why? I honestly don't know. But what I DO know is this: YOU need to know about Insulin Resistance… AND you need to know how to find out whether or not you have it. This is especially true if you are over the age of 30 as the majority of American adults HAVE Insulin Resistance and don't even know it! On this episode I talk about Insulin Resistance and how to determine if you have it. Give this episode a good listen and, as always, be sure to share it with a friend.  Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

    26-31 Feeling Lost On Your Healing Journey? Start HERE…

    Episode 26-31 Feeling Lost On Your Healing Journey? Start HERE… More and more people are choosing a holistic approach to healing. Why? Because... 1) It's oftentimes more effective than traditional medicine. 2) It doesn't rely on drugs. 3) It uses natural substances and remedies. 4) It works WITH the healing power of the body… not against it. Unfortunately, pursuing a holistic approach to healing can be problematic. I say that because I've had many individuals tell me that they don't know where to start. On this episode I solve that problem. Specifically, on this episode I share three steps to follow if you want to see your body heal itself naturally… without drugs or surgery. And while these three steps won't tell you exactly what to do in order to experience healing, they WILL give you direction. A framework to follow. Give this episode a good listen if you desire to follow a holistic path to health and healing. And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.  Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

    26-30 Do This BEFORE Starting A Detox Program…

    Episode 26-30 Do This BEFORE Starting A Detox Program… Most doctors and health care providers focus their attention on identifying what to "give" their patients. It could be a prescriptive drug or, if the doctor is more holistic minded, an herb or natural supplement. But what if that's NOT what the patient needs? That is, what if there isn't something healthy that's "missing" from the patient… something that needs to be provided? What if, instead, there's too much of something unhealthy? Something that's toxic to the body. Identifying and eliminating THAT would be the key to healing. On this episode, I talk about the importance of this concept. The importance of knowing what NOT to do. The importance of recognizing your body's need to Detox… and what the first step of any Detox program should be.  Give this episode a good listen, especially if you've been struggling to get healed from a chronic condition. In addition, please share it with a friend.  Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more? Continue the conversation regarding this episode, and all future episodes, by signing up for our daily emails.

    26-29 The 2 Causes Of ALL Disease

    Episode 26-29 The 2 Causes Of ALL Disease It's hard for your body to heal from a disease if you don't eliminate the underlying cause. That's a pretty logical statement, right? It is. Unfortunately, it's not one that's adhered to… especially by the medical profession. Their strategy isn't to eliminate the CAUSE of disease. Its to prescribe drugs that will "treat" the corresponding symptoms. For example, a medical doctor will prescribe drugs for a man with high blood pressure. Drugs he must take for the rest of his life. Drugs that will NOT correct the underlying cause of his high blood pressure. Drugs that have negative side-effects. It doesn't make sense. It's also not different for any other chronic disease. The doctor will prescribe drugs. Drugs that will do nothing more than "manage" the symptoms. Drugs that will NOT correct the underlying cause. Drugs that will NOT promote healing. There has to be a better way. There IS a better way. An approach to health care that seeks to identify and correct the underlying CAUSE of chronic disease. On this week's episode I share with you the underlying cause of chronic disease. Specifically, I talk about the TWO causes that, in my opinion, are at the root of all chronic disease. This is an episode you DON'T want to miss as it holds the blueprint for healing. Give it a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend. Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?
