Dr. Hoffman's Store

Those of you who follow me on radio and online know that I live and breathe the concepts behind Intelligent Medicine, and I practice what I preach.  The recommendations I make to you are the same ones I make for my patients, and often the same regimens I keep myself.  

Intelligent Medicine is a lifestyle – it encompasses diet, exercise, mental health, and a targeted selection of important supplements. 

If you’re looking for a little more guidance or have specific health concerns, such as heart health, mental acuity, or keeping your bones strong as you age, you may want to check out my easy to use Intelligent Medicine Lifestyle Supplement Protocols, to the right. There’s sure to be a protocol to suit your needs.

To your health!
Dr. Ronald Hoffman

Give the gift of healthy chocolate!

If you have a sweet tooth like me, the holiday season can be full of temptation.

Thankfully, FlavaNaturals’ line of products ensures chocolate lovers like me can obtain the full health benefits of cocoa flavanols along with great taste—all with less fat and sugar!

Cocoa is one of the most thoroughly-investigated functional foods on the planet. That’s why I take plentiful, flavanol-rich cocoa supplementation daily and have long recommended it to my patients and audience. But just taking any store-bought dark chocolate won’t deliver its benefits; FlavaNaturals cocoa products contain 5-9 times the beneficial flavanols of typical dark chocolate. I throw some powder in with my decaf or a smoothie, and even use it to make chia chocolate pudding!

Right now, FlavaNaturals is offering special holiday savings for my audience: Save 20% through December 19th with code HOFFMAN20

Our health freedom is in danger!

With nearly a million members, the Alliance for Natural Health is the largest organization in the US and abroad working to protect your right to utilize safe, effective, and inexpensive healing therapies. If it weren’t for ANH, many of the modalities I talk about on Intelligent Medicine would be under threat by government regulators at the behest of Big Food, BigAg, Big Pharma, the medical establishment, and the chemical industry.

I became a board member of ANH 20 years ago because it mirrored my personal commitment to preserving access to natural health choices. I now serve as Medical Director and President. 

Championing Personalized Nutrition

America is facing an unprecedented crisis. Our productivity, national security, and fiscal solvency are being undermined by epidemics of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, GI illnesses, and autoimmunity. Poor nutrition is at the root of many of these problems. Yet few healthcare professionals have the knowledge and experience to stem the tide of diet-related diseases.

The American Nutrition Association, is at the vanguard of the fight to put nutrition front and center within US healthcare.  As Chair of the Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists, I’m part of an effort to train CNS candidates to effect positive change.
