Dr. Philip Gold is one of the world’s leading researchers of depressive illness. He is here today to discuss the correlation and body's response to depression and stress, the role of inflammation in depression and how anti-inflammatory agents can help.

Research notes Depression represents a dysregulation of the brain’s stress response system that we depend upon for survival - why it is so critical to address stress and tips for doing it. Dr. Gold discusses data revealing depression is a total body disease that shortens life by 7 - 10 years, and that it brings increased risk of premature onset of coronary artery disease, stroke, diabetes and osteoporosis. He also discusses a new science of gene therapy including a treatment overcoming the gene mutation that interferes with resiliency, promotes vulnerability to depression, and inhibits the capacity of antidepressants to work effectively

If you’re eating a healthy diet and you’re still dealing with fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, recurrent injuries, or chronic pain, the problem could be your spinach, almonds, sweet potatoes, and other trusted plant foods. And your key to vibrant health may be quitting these so-called superfoods.

After suffering for decades from chronic health problems, nutrition educator Sally K. Norton, MPH, discovered that the culprits were the chemical toxins called oxalates lurking within her “healthy,” organic plant-heavy diet. This book shines light on how our modern diets are overloaded with oxalates and offers fresh solutions including:


A complete, research-backed program to safely reverse your oxalate load
Comprehensive charts and resources on foods to avoid and better alternatives
Guidance to improve your energy, optimize mood and brain performance, and find true relief from chronic pain 

In this groundbreaking guide, Norton reveals that the popular dictum to “eat more plants” can be misleading. Toxic Superfoods gives health-seekers a chance for improved energy, optimum brain performance, graceful aging, and true relief from chronic pain. 

“Toxic Superfoods” is available HERE and wherever books are sold!
