The upper cervical spine — specifically the top three vertebrae in the neck (C1/Atlas, C2/Axis, and C3) — occupies one of the most neurologically significant regions of the body. This area supports the skull, protects the brainstem, influences posture, and plays a key role in autonomic nervous system regulation. When subluxations (misalignments, fixations, or abnormal […]
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently claimed he lost 20 pounds in 20 days, along with significant visceral fat and improved mental clarity, after switching to a meat-centric, carnivore-style diet paired with fermented foods. Predictably, reactions have been polarized — praise on one side, alarm on the other. But before dismissing or celebrating the claim, it’s […]
Alcohol has long been part of social life, but growing research continues to show that how much and how often you drink matters — a lot. A large, long-term study published by the American Cancer Society followed over 88,000 adults for 20 years and found that consistent heavy drinking over adulthood significantly increased the risk […]
Many people think of digestion as something that happens only in the stomach and intestines. In reality, digestion is a neurologically coordinated, mechanically supported, and chemically driven system that depends heavily on proper spinal function—especially in the mid-thoracic spine. Pain, tightness, or discomfort between the shoulder blades is often dismissed as “muscle strain” or posture-related […]
Nitric oxide is a short-lived signaling molecule produced naturally by the body. Its primary role is regulating blood flow and cellular communication, especially within the cardiovascular and nervous systems. 1. Improves Blood Flow and Circulation Nitric oxide causes vasodilation, meaning it relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessel walls. Benefits include: This is the foundational […]
https://www.foxnews.com/health/common-vitamin-byproduct-may-help-cancer-evade-immune-system-study-finds This article posted on Fox News shows how journalists can misrepresent research. You would think by reading the article you should not take vitamin A but that would be a big mistake. Here is where the article goes wrong: 1. Vitamin A vs. retinoic acid: the key distinction the article blurs Vitamin A ≠ […]
A new large-scale analysis published in The BMJ confirms what many clinicians have quietly observed for years: when GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are stopped, the weight comes back — and often faster than expected. Researchers from the University of Oxford reviewed 37 studies involving more than 9,000 patients. On average, participants regained nearly one pound per […]
Frequent urination is often dismissed as a normal part of aging, but in many cases it is a signal that something deeper is out of balance. Needing to urinate more than eight times in a 24-hour period, or waking more than twice at night to urinate (nocturia), commonly reflects underlying physiological, neurological, metabolic, or lifestyle […]
Most discussions about Type 2 diabetes focus narrowly on sugar intake and calories. Emerging research suggests that this framework is incomplete. Large observational and cellular studies now indicate that combinations of food additives commonly found in ultraprocessed foods are associated with increased diabetes risk, even in people who otherwise follow “healthy” diets. A large French […]
Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide. In the United States alone, more than 300,000 women are expected to be diagnosed this year. While genetics play a role, a growing body of research shows that dietary patterns — particularly fat quantity and fat quality — significantly influence breast cancer risk […]
Each year in the United States, more than 350,000 people experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. In the majority of cases, the person does not survive — not because help is impossible, but because help does not arrive fast enough. Cardiac arrest is a time-critical emergency. Survival decreases by approximately 7–10 percent for every minute that […]
Sugar consumption plays a central role in modern metabolic disease. While many people turn to “natural” sweeteners as healthier alternatives, not all sweeteners affect the body the same way. Some have virtually no impact on blood sugar, while others behave metabolically almost identically to refined sugar. Understanding these differences — along with targeted nutritional strategies […]
Scientists say a rare sugar called tagatose could offer a promising alternative to traditional sugar, especially for baking, while delivering fewer calories and a much smaller impact on blood sugar. Researchers at Tufts University recently reported a breakthrough method for producing tagatose more efficiently, according to findings published in Cell Reports Physical Science. The advance […]
Loneliness has quietly become one of the most significant public health concerns of modern life. While people are more digitally connected than ever, meaningful human connection has declined — and the consequences are serious. According to the World Health Organization, roughly one in six people worldwide experiences loneliness, a condition linked to an estimated 871,000 […]
Artificial sweeteners are widely marketed as tools for weight control, yet emerging research suggests that some of them—particularly sucralose—may do the opposite of what consumers expect. Sucralose (commonly sold as Splenda) is consumed daily by an estimated 40% of Americans, often under the assumption that “zero calories” equals better metabolic control. However, newer studies indicate […]
