Genetic iron overload is greatly under-diagnosed. Males over 30 and post-menopausal females may accumulate dangerous amounts of iron in body tissues and never know it. It may be the cause of joint pain, heart disease, liver disease, impotence, diabetes, low immunity and more.

1 in 100 - 200 Americans have the complete genetic mutation for Hemochromatosis. 1 in 9 of European descent may be gene carriers.

I’ve recently started topical Walkabout Emu Oil for skin and vaginal comfort. I take the capsules daily for Vitamin K2 and Omega 3’s but had never used it topically until recently. I was treating Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) and needed some pain and inflammation support. But what was safe to use there? AH!  Of course, my trusty Walkabout…

Sensory Overload can cause fatigue, inability to fight infections, and poor digestion. It can contribute to high blood pressure, high cholesterol and painful muscle tension too.

The adrenal and thyroid connection is often missed by doctors checking only the thyroid. Understanding how these glands affect each other helps you address adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism at the same time.

The goal of all natural health care is to resolve the cause of the problem, not just the symptom. If you’re treating your thyroid lab numbers but not checking adrenal function you may be missing something!

Understand lipids and cholesterol with Chris Masterjohn. Take a plunge into the chemistry of arteries, fats, the island nations of Polynesia and much more. Masterjohn writes and podcasts on all things lipid plus a huge variety of nutritional science topics.

Like many of us in wellness, Chris began to study human nutrition after a health challenge - a frightening foray into veganism. Severe anxiety disorders and a cholesterol plunge to 106 sent him to the Weston Price Foundation for answers. Fats, a lot of fats, especially saturated fats, changed his life.

Mouth taping for dry mouth, CPAP and snoring is my topic on this Primal Diet - Modern Health podcast with Nicholas Michalak. I don't use a CPAP machine and I don't mouth breathe during the day but I learned years ago I was mouth breathing at night. I've been taping my mouth at night ever since.

What is Regenerative Grazing? How does soil affect climate, and how do cows and other ruminants have such an important role to play?

In this Primal Diet - Modern Health podcast I speak with Judith Schwartz, author of one of my favorite books, to expand on these topics. "Cows Save the Planet" subtitles include: "Unmaking the deserts, rethinking climate change, bringing back biodiversity, and restoring nutrients to our food".

Whew! That's a lot but Judith makes it readable and clear. Highly recommended for science students and the rest of us who think eating less meat helps the environment.

But factory fed meats and feedlots are indeed part of the problem. The wastes of corn and soy fed cattle are collected in huge lagoons, an anaerobic breeding place for methane gases.

Grass fed ruminants (cattle, bison, sheep, deer, giraffe, camels, antelopes) chew their cud. They have split hooves which, when on pasture, mix waste, rain and saliva into the soil, fertilize it and aerate it. 

Here’s 10 simple reasons for chronic fatigue. Get your energy back!

Low energy and fatigue are common complaints in my clinic. The causes can be complex or simple. People often focus on one extreme or the other – either one supplement “should” fix it all, or it must be a serious illness. It will be a combination of things and it’s your job to fix them. Your doctor cannot do these for you!

Self-experimentation and self-observation are key, along with good advice on where to start. Do one thing at a time and watch for changes. If you’re feeling well one day and poorly the next, what did you do differently? Keep track to find your own top causes of fatigue.

My secret reason why Keto is popular? My ideas may make you laugh or may make you mad, but hey it's just a blog, right?

I've always started new clients with a hard look at diet rather than selling supplements and lab tests. "Food First" is my "Primal Diet - Modern Health" podcast motto. Clients may rebel and just want pills, but the goal is to FIX problems, not take people's money for a month or two while they continue to eat and live badly.

I have decades of personal experience with the best and worst foods for Herpes. With Primary Immunodeficiency, my immune system is genetically low. Even with weekly Gamma Globulin infusions I have to watch for Herpes food triggers.
