Diverse Antioxidants are Key in Achieving Optimum Health
Many of my patients are confused about antioxidants. Vitamin C, they assume, is the holy grail of vitamins, and that somehow, this all-mighty of supplements will fulfill all of their nutritional needs. But vitami C supplements, while important in its own right, should not be a one-man show. Let’s take a deeper look at how your body works.

Decode Your Urine: What its Color Means
Every now and then a patient will tell me that their urine looks “funny” sometimes. When I ask them what they mean by that, they invariably tell me that it seems to change colors. They’re conce ed if these color changes are anything to worry about. Here’s what I tell them: What Color Is Your Urine? Urine can be different colors throughout the day depending on the amount of urochrome, a natural pigment, formed by the breakdown of red blood cells, which is present in urine.r

Energy Drinks: Friend or Foe?
Energy drinks are all the rage lately. You can’t go anywhere without finding them…including 7 Eleven stores. And there seems to be an endless variety to choose from. Today I have some pros and cons of these “high-voltage in the can” products. And some serious questions answered about them. The first and most often question asked is…are these energy drinks doing more harm than good?

Your Erectile Dysfunction can be Related to Heart Health
Dear Health-Minded Readers, Some of my over 40 male patients are conce ed about whether or not they may have erectile dysfunction. We go over their symptoms (see below) and often times they do have a classic ED picture. However, when I ask these patients if anyone in their family has had heart disease, they’re frequently baffled at what that has to do with their ED? As I explain, though there are other causes of ED, recent research has shown that a man’s heart health can also be directly related to ED symptoms. Here’s why. Your Heart and Your ED

They’re full of calcium, great for bone and teeth health, protein for muscle strength, B vitamins for energy, and fortified with Vitamin D for healthy bones and immune system. But many of my patients, and about 50 million other Americans, have a problem with lactose-a component of dairy.

Know The Signs: Heart Attack
When my over-age 50 male patients come to visit for a check up or health concern, I ask them if they know the symptoms of a heart attack. Most all of them answer “chest pain” but very few know any of the other symptoms of heart attack. That’s why I’d like to talk to you about the symptoms of a man’s heart attack, i.e., those signs that are almost always common to men, and a few that aren’t commonly recognized as a heart attack, in the hopes that it will save your life, or that of a male friend or relative. Heart Attack More Than Chest Pain

How Overweight Are You? Understanding Your BMI
Recently, one of my patients, I’ll call him Joe, came in somewhat annoyed that a trainer at his gym used a traditional BMI (body mass index) test on him and deemed him overweight for his height. However, on visual inspection, Joe, a male over 40, looks to be quite fit, very muscular, very low body fat, weight trains and does aerobic exercise several times a week. Conversely, I have a patient Helen, an over 50 female, mildly active, with a predominance of abdominal fat yet the BMI says she is within normal range weight for her height.

To Go Raw Or Not To Go Raw? A Look Inside Raw Food Diets

Those who follow this lifestyle feel that eating food raw confers more health benefits than cooked food as it preserves the living force of food, its enzymes.

Inflammation-What it Means, How it's Caused and How to Prevent it
Some of my patients have been asking me recently, about a new medical condition, inflammation, that’s being investigated as the underlying cause of fatigue and most diseases including, cancer and heart disease. As I tell my patients, the truth is, inflammation is not something new, though our unhealthy diets and lifestyles may be adding to the rise in its occurrence. Inflammation, and its ill effect on health, have been around for centuries, and have been well studied and treated by alte ative, non-Weste medicine, for just as long.

Could Your Low Thyroid Be Causing ED?
Several of my male patients have shared with me that they’re having problems in the romance department more frequently. They experience erectile dysfunction often and are also feeling depressed and fatigued. They wonder if maybe they have a hormone deficiency, or are coming down with a bug or some other condition. I explain that perhaps a testosterone hormone deficiency is to blame, but I’d like to also check another hormone, their thyroid, as a potential cause for their symptoms. Let me explain.
