ENCORE: A Remarkable Functional Food: Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat, Part 1

A conversation with the founder of the Functional Medicine movement, Dr. Jeffrey Bland. His latest innovation is the identification and popularization of a remarkable functional food, Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat (HTB). It contains an array of immunorestorative compounds, as well as unique prebiotics supportive of a healthy microbiome. HTB is available as a food ingredient, or as a concentrated supplement, HTB Rejuvenate™️. New findings suggest HTB optimizes immune parameters, counteracts insulin resistance, and improves subjective well-being of experimental subjects. Dr. Bland further weighs in on the ideal diet, the lessons of the pandemic, and why we need a renewed focus on natural antecedents to health even as we move past Covid-19. Click HERE for part 2.

Give the gift of healthy chocolate!

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