Accumulate Health

Aging is a direct reflection of personal lifestyle inputs. ​If the body is not being challenged to adapt and is not given real nutrition so that it has the resources to adapt; atrophy, arthritis and incapacity will become the norm. This is the deal if we are not proactive, inactivity will become the state of our body.

In today's episode, we're talking about cellulite. It's a common topic that comes up in appointments. While there can be a hereditary factor to cellulite, it doesn't mean you are destined to have it.

The first thing to consider when it comes to cellulite is what is promoting it.

I would consider the following 4 promoters of cellulite:

• Estrogen deficiency
• Inflammation
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Muscle loss

Along with the followi...

In today's episode, we're talking about diet culture. So many people are trapped in a cycle of dieting, losing, regaining, feeling worse, and starting all over again. Diets do not have the power to transform you. Real success is lasting transformation — and diets rarely deliver that. And by rarely I mean less than 1% of the time. Real change happens not by counting macros but by confronting pain. That’s where freedom lives. That’s ...

Recently I had a conversation with my son that went something like this:

My four year old: “Dad, I'm hungry. What can I eat?”

Me: "You want some meat, eggs, yogurt? I’ll cut you an apple."

Four year old: "I want cookies." Also, industrialized humans: “There is nothing to eat!”

As Health accumulators, we are happy to put off momentary pleasure for day in and day out vitality and vigor.

Today I'm talking about cholesterol and why it's not the enemy of our heath that needs to be subdued by statins. 

Cholesterol is in fact the key building block for ALL our cell membranes - structure, integrity and fluidity are not maintained without it. 

➡️It is the essential precursor needed to create all our steroid hormones, such as testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol. 

➡️It is necessary to produce Vitamin D from ...

In today's episode, I'm talking about thoughts and how they have the power to help you heal faster. It is not woo-woo. It is the truth. 

Often we get after our food routines, exercise, sleep hacks, sauna, cold plunges, plastic surgery, IV therapy, all the while neglecting the health magnifier, our mind. 

Peer-reviewed studies are showing us—what goes in our mind, doesn’t stay there. It spills into our body, shaping everything fr...

In today's episode, I'm talking about the natural sugar found in an apple and added sugar. An average apple has about 20 grams of sugar in it. This is primarily in the form of fructose and this fructose is beautifully held in a whole foods matrix within the apple.

This is why the glycemic index is around 35 and the glycemic load of an apple is around 5. What this means is that the 20 grams of sugar in an apple is in the lower 1/3 o...

In today's episode, I'm talking about why I would choose added sugars over artificial sweeteners. This may come as a shock, but every single day of the week I would choose to put into my body added sugars, rather than artificial sweeteners.

Most people see added sugars as calories and are conditioned to think they are bad, while zero sugar, artificial options are supposedly better. We are a living entity.

We are not artificial. We ...

In today's episode, we're talking about hinderances to fat loss. Most people trying to lose fat focus on big rocks — strength training, hydration, macro counting, 10k steps per day, cutting sugar. All of which can have great value.

But what if what’s keeping you stuck in your current body composition, isn’t a lack of discipline… but the little things you don’t know you’re eating?

Maltodextrin — is a common additive in dressings, sa...

In today's episode, we're talking about fiber vs protein. You’ve probably heard that fiber is good for your gut and protein is good for your muscles—but what if I told you that the magic doesn’t actually come from either one—the wow factor comes from eating both in whole food form.

We live in a world of scoops, powders, pills—fiber gummies and protein isolates, all making big claims.

The truth: You cannot build a body on fiber alon...

In today's episode, we're talking about fruit sugar vs added sugar.

Last week, we talked about the amazing benefits of natural sugar found in fruit and today we are contrasting fruit derived sugar with added sugar found in processed foods.

Let's take a closer look at how our body processes these two sugars.

In this episode, I'm talking about how fruit holds the key to better gut health, disease prevention, and even mental wellbeing. Over and over patients tell me that they were told not to eat fruit because of its high sugar content.

Fruit sugar is not the enemy of your health. High fructose corn syrup and the fluffy white sugar added by the tablespoon to vanilla flavored yogurt is the adversary of your health.

Unlike refined white su...

In today's episode, I'm sharing two stories of women whose health was transformed by a carnivorish diet.

I'm also giving you a couple of reasons why I think eliminating all foods and just eating meat and seed bearing foods for a short time can often be the food routine that's needed for transformational health.

In today's episode, we're talking about artificial sweeteners and why we want to ditch them.

Did you give up sugar only to swap it out for Splenda, aspartame, Ace K or erythritol? Today I'm breaking down 5 powerful reasons to ditch artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols for good! — and what happens when you do.

In today's episode, we are busting myths, namely 4 health food myths.

Many people are putting in an intense amount of effort to live their healthiest life, but are being derailed by the lure of gluten free, sourdough, fat free, and nut butters.

In today's episode we're talking about something that's wrecking our kids' mental focus, confidence, and overall development—smartphones.

They can be crazy helpful for work and communication. But is there any benefit to our children?

Is it possible that smartphones only have a negative impact when in the hands of kids? If you pay for the smart phone for your aspiring young athlete, could you be directly hindering their success?

In today's episode, we're talking about the gut-brain connection. What if I told you that your gut bacteria might be controlling your focus, mood, and even your ability to sit still? Unbelievable, right? Well, like gravity, you don’t have to believe it for it to be true.

Research is becoming more and more convincing that the symptoms or disease states we medicate like, depression, ADHD, and even anxiety are not actually starting in...

Today we are talking about our home, excess, climate-controlled environments and what behavior is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

4 non-negotiables for a health-accumulating life:

Step 1 make your home a sanctuary.

- It should be the easiest place in your life to eat whole nutrient dense foods. - The best place to get a great night of sleep.

- A place where you watch, listen to, and talk about uplifting things. Consider ...

In today's episode, I'm talking about how weight loss medications work in the body and what happens if there are no coinciding lifestyle changes. Ozempic, or semaglutide, mimics a hormone called GLP-1, which your body naturally produces after eating.

Patients come to me having started on these medications with the promise of easy weight loss, yet they are consuming processed foods, not given any strength training plan and sent out ...
