When We Eat Matters as Much as What We Eat. We’ve spent decades obsessing over what to eat—counting calories, eliminating food groups, debating diets. But we’ve largely ignored a fundamental question that our ancestors understood intuitively: When should we eat? Because true wellness isn’t just about feeding ourselves—it’s about feeding ourselves in harmony with how we’re designed to function.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ This You Need to Know!

It's a Scary Proposition, Marauders of the HealthCare Industry. “Three years ago, I almost spent $300 a month on injections that promised to melt away decades of poor choices. The testimonials were compelling, the science sounded legitimate, and my desperation was real.

Blame it on Who or What? How does it Happen? Community vs. Isolation. To what extent do you believe your ancestry/heredity is being manifested in your present state of health. To the good or bad? To your sense of hardiness/healthiness? Or, to your sense of fear and vulnerability to the risks and weaknesses of your ancestry? How does that make you feel? We’re taking a look at the precursors to sickness and disease, and a strategy to...

“Too Late-Treating Society" Tune in for more on "Thank God for . . . It's Too Bad That" . . . We let people percolate, allowing diseases to advance.

It was so common that ships routinely lost more crew to this terrible condition than to storms, pirates, or warfare all combined. Fact: Scurvy killed millions of sailors between the years of 1500 and...
