Intelligent Medicine®
Dr. Mary Hardy is a pioneer, having founded the Integrative Medical Clinic at prestigious Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles in 1998. From there she went on to become Medical Director of the UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology. She discusses how supplements can be properly combined with conventional treatments like chemo, radiation and immunotherapy. What are some of the pitfalls to be avoided? What nutraceuticals can be safely used while undergoing cancer care? How can they be used to ameliorate side effects like neuropathy, fatigue, and low white blood cell counts? Why it’s important to work with an integrative oncologist to tailor treatment. Dr. Hardy discusses the background of a modern iteration of an old remedy—fermented wheat germ, now called Metatrol. Its efficacy in supporting cancer patients during treatment has been validated in numerous studies. It may also provide overall energy and immune-supportive benefits. 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.
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
