ENCORE: The Travails of a Victim of Glyphosate Exposure, Part 1 February 21, 2023 Investigative journalist Carey Gillam chronicles the travails of a victim of glyphosate exposure in "The Monsanto Papers: Deadly Secrets, Corporate Corruption and One Man’s Search for Justice." She details the lead-up to a decisive trial which resulted in massive penalties for the makers of Roundup. The court rendered a verdict that implicated glyphosate in thousands of cases of cancer—but the final chapter has yet to be written; plaintiffs attorneys and victims are fighting Bayer’s latest settlement offer. And it’s not just about cancer; Gillam describes the more pervasive, insidious effects of industrial chemicals on human health and the environment. Her latest investigation traces US efforts to foist GMO agriculture on developing nations, some of which are pushing back to maintain sovereignty and safeguard their inhabitants.

ENCORE: Practical Solutions to a Condition that Plagues Millions of Women: Urinary Incontinence, Part 1 February 16, 2023 Female Incontinence: It’s time it came out of the shadows, given that nearly 1/2 of women will suffer from it to some extent during their lifetimes. It can cause depression, isolation, and shame, and prompt women to limit essential hydration. Urogynecologist Dr. Jill Rabin, co-author of "Mind Over Bladder: A Step-By-Step Guide to Achieving Continence" argues that women should not be resigned to incontinence—it can be overcome in a majority of cases. Starting with simple, practical lifestyle interventions, graduating to specialized behavior modification and pelvic floor strengthening techniques, and using medications and surgery only where necessary, a variety of solutions are available. New minimally invasive corrective surgeries obviate the need for lengthy hospitalization and recovery. An innovative new technique, Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) borrows from acupuncture to deliver painless electrical stimulation to re-establish urinary control. Click HERE for part 2.

ENCORE: Customizing Your Carb Intake for Optimal Health, Part 1 February 14, 2023 Dr. Eric Westman is a leading proponent of the low-carb diet paradigm, and co-author of "End Your Carb Confusion: A Simple Guide to Customize Your Carb Intake for Optimal Health." He relates how he was a young physician at Duke University Medical Center—renowned for the ultra low-fat Rice Diet Program—when he first heard about the Atkins Diet and began a fruitful decades-long collaboration with the Atkins Foundation. He’s developer of the Adapt Your Life Academy Keto Made Simple Master Class. His research has validated the safety and effectiveness of the low-carb diet. Why has prevailing nutrition science disparaged low-carb and keto diets? How strictly must you adhere to low-carb to reap its benefits? Is criticism warranted that, while it may produce weight loss in the short term, it may be harmful in the long-run? What about all those “keto” products out there? Is it necessary to use sophisticated gadgets to gauge whether you’re in ketosis? Should transient rises in LDL cholesterol dissuade people from adhering to a low-carb diet? Can you implement a low-carb diet if you don’t eat meat? Are low-calorie sweeteners allowed? Click HERE for part 2.

Foods That Support Healthy Vision, Part 1 February 9, 2023 Dr. Rudrani Banik, one of America’s foremost integrative ophthalmologists, discusses her new book: "The Beyond Carrots Cookbook: A complete recipe guide for healthy vision and the prevention of eye disease." She recounts her personal transformation via a healing journey that led her to conquer her own migraines by embracing diet and supplementation, and prompted her to study Functional Medicine. Dr. Banik explains that different parts of the visual apparatus require different nutrients; there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all eye formula. Her book focuses on food sources of key vitamins and minerals. We discuss why it’s important for kids to spend time outdoors to prevent near-sightedness; excessive screen time is also causing a host of problems among adults. Dr. Banik previews her upcoming book that will address macular degeneration. Are there new breakthroughs on the horizon for curing vision problems? Click HERE for part 2.

Nutritional Psychiatry, Part 1 February 7, 2023 Dr. Drew Ramsey is a pioneer in the emerging field of Nutritional Psychiatry and author of "Eat to Beat Depression and Anxiety: Nourish Your Way to Better Mental Health in Six Weeks." Dr. Ramsey reviews the remarkable research that has demonstrated the efficacy of diet for improving mental health outcomes. The foods we eat impact our brain function for better or for worse, delivering essential nutrients, fostering a healthy microbiome, combatting inflammation, encouraging neuroplasticity, and supporting neurotransmitters. He is co-developer of the Antidepressant Food Scale which rates foods based on their potential to support well-being. He is also director of the Brain Food Clinic which offers integrative psychiatric care incorporating “dietary assessment and food prescription along with coaching, meal planning, and hands-on skill building in your kitchen.” He believes that no single diet offers a panacea for mental health optimization, but that replacement of ultra-processed food with nutrient-dense alternatives offers the most benefits with ease of compliance.
