ENCORE: How To Slow, and Even Reverse, Our Biological Clocks, Part 1
September 6, 2023
Dr. Kara Fitzgerald is the author of a landmark study that demonstrates conclusively that lifestyle impacts, not just disease, but the aging process itself. It does so via epigenetic modification, the mechanism by which environmental factors orchestrate the expression of genes. Dr. Fitzgerald has incorporated her findings in a new book "Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better." She details how diet, sleep, exercise, stress reduction, and avoidance of toxic chemicals can slow, and even reverse, our biological clocks. The key is DNA methylation, which can be assessed via commercially-available saliva test kits. Dr. Fitzgerald lists specific supplements that may augment the benefits of a low-carb, plant-rich diet incorporating high-quality animal protein. Her pioneering research validates the far-reaching benefits of natural lifestyle interventions. Click HERE for part 2.

ENCORE: The Insidious Dangers that Contaminate Our Food, Part 1
September 5, 2023
Each year, Americans consume hundreds of food products that contain truly dangerous compounds, including heavy metals, pesticides, and other harmful additives—with the blessing of the FDA. Why is this happening and why haven’t you heard about it? In "Unsafe at Any Meal", Dr. Renee Dufault, former food investigator for the Food and Drug Administration, provides the startling answers. While at the FDA, Dr. Dufault discovered that mercury—a highly toxic metal—was contaminating the plumbing systems of many food manufacturing plants. Upon further examination, she discovered that the same mercury was also evident in a number of processed foods commonly sold in supermarkets. When Dr. Dufault revealed these disturbing findings to her superiors, she was told to stop her investigation. Her continued efforts to raise the issue always met with a dead end, so she chose to take early retirement from the FDA. Dr. Dufault then devoted her energy to making the public aware of the insidious dangers that contaminate our food. In 2010, she founded an organization of scientists to study the scope of this problem and has published numerous research articles on the topic with little fanfare. To expose what still seems to be a well-kept secret by the FDA, she has written "Unsafe at Any Meal" to provide consumers with the information they need to know . . . before it is too late.

What’s wrong with the American healthcare system? Part 1
August 31, 2023
What’s wrong with the American healthcare system? We had one of the world’s worst fatality rates with Covid and we trail most advanced countries in life expectancy. At the same time, we spend way more per capita on medical treatments. Matthew Rees, founder of Food and Health Facts, offers his incisive views on how to improve our nation’s health: we need more education, for the public and for health professionals; perverse incentives like subsidies for poor quality food need to be eliminated; and certain forms of food advertising to impressionable kids should be prohibited . Rees addresses the limitations of newly-popularized weight loss drugs. He discusses why health disparities are widening among Americans. And he offers lessons from the pandemic. Overall, his message is that we need to apply the same precision to prevention that we currently leverage toward development of pricey high-tech medical breakthroughs. Click HERE for part 2.
