Last night on Sixty Minutes they covered a story about the amount of hidden sugar found in common foods that people consume every single day.

Thyroid problems are an area that I have studied in depth, having suffered myself with hypothyroidism, and been subjected to the incompetence of several medical practitioners before I found the answers myself. Since then, I’ve found thyroid issues are one of the most mis-understood and mis-diagnosed conditions today. Dr John Lowe is one of the foremost

What I love to do in my own life, and what I love to teach, is how to continue to improve the nutritional value of everything you put in your mouth. We eat three or more times a day, and it is just as easy to choose something nutritious, as it is to choose something
