Cancer and Fat: Budwig Protocol vs. Gerson Therapy

By Matt Stone I voiced a few words about cancer a few weeks back when it was announced that Angelina Jolie was having both of her breasts removed for cancer prevention.?Now it’s time to dig in a little deeper. I would say the two most prominent cancer treatment diets out there are the Budwig Protocol and Gerson Therapy. While I have great disdain for extreme diets, wacky diet gurus, false...

Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition – Meredith

By Matt Stone I am not a proud owner of a television, but I was blessed to have my first Extreme Makeover experience last night. The show was incredibly bizarre. Even a casual observer could have pointed out the many holes in’the mainstream views on weight, food, appetite, and obesity. Like most?TV weight loss shows I have seen (not many, fortunately), it was a peculiar blend of sad,...

Conditioning For Better Outcomes

By Julia Gumm It’s a seventeen year cicada summer in my neck of the woods and these insects are frickin? weird. They emit sounds that nothing born of this particular blue green marble suspended in space has any business making. I swear they’re calling the mothership. I don’t know why exactly they sing a song that sounds uncannily like a phaser on classic Star Trek, but I do...

Toxic Tampons: Feminine Hygiene Alternatives

By Hannah Ransom When it comes to assaults on our health, women have a special place in our society. We have products specially made for us or pushed on us that inhibit our paths to the best health we can get. Here are some examples (and perhaps ones that I will write on more in depth in a future article): Makeup, hormonal birth control, high heels, perfumes/fragrances, vaginal ?cleansers,?...

The Case for Strawberry Shortcake

By Matt Stone In late May I went out to a breakfast restaurant with my family in Nashville. There were lots of us. Like 8 at the table. The restaurant, in trying to be cute and clever, ended up aggravating me a lot more than I tend to get aggravated by small things. In their cuteness and cleverness, they called their seasonal strawberry pancakes “Strawberry Shortcakes.”? After...

Marathon Training Diet: Performance and Protection

By Matt Stone Recently I received a couple requests to write something up on how to protect one’s metabolic health as an endurance athlete. It’s an interesting question, as the adaptations the human body undergoes to better?perform endurance exercise are in exact opposition with the metabolic objectives of this site (discussed in greater detail in THIS POST?and others). To be a...

Eat for Heat Paperback

Eat for Heat is now available as a paperback through Amazon HERE. Small, skinny little fella, it’s a quick read and continues to be of huge game-changing importance for those who dare to make the subtle changes it discusses.?Perhaps the best and most accurate review came just last week… “Weird that eating like this actually works? I don’t get it. I really don’t....

Bloating, Inflammation and Humidity

By Julia Gumm Boy, things are heating up here in the northern hemisphere. In my neck of the woods, we recently saw heat indexes in the high 100’s, accomplished in part by relative humidity hovering around 90%. In keeping with the theme of high numbers, my weight scaled up as well. Going with the flow, I guess. Does this happen to any of you? Heat and humidity set in and suddenly...

Maybe you read about it in, The Vegan Solution (or listened to it for free via Audible), or just heard it through the grape vine. Is it even possible to maintain a healthy...

The Health Benefits of Smoking

By Dr. Garrett Smith? First, since we are going to discuss tobacco in this article, let me start with what I’m talking about. I am talking about real, organic, additive-free tobacco, the kind you need to do a bit of searching for. I am NOT talking about the chemical-laden cigarettes that are available all around us. The two are about as comparable health-wise as farmer’s market...

The Vegan Solution

By Matt Stone The Vegan Solution: Why the Vegan Diet Often Fails and How to Fix It is almost here. It will be released on June 5th. I decided to write this book to reach out to struggling vegans with my “methods” for an increase in metabolism. This is something I discussed many months ago at the dawn of this project in the post Why Vegan Diets Fail. It’s not anti-vegan nor is...

Does Stress Cause Weight Gain?

By Lianda Ludwig In the news recently Mike Jeffries, CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch told the world that he doesn’t consider overweight women to be ?cool enough? for their brand, and doesn’t want them shopping in his stores. Governor Chris Christie took his share of jokes and bashing after undergoing gastric bypass surgery. Jokes from talk show hosts emphasized that he couldn’t...

Making Ourselves Sick

By Julia Gumm One of the first things people ask when learning about the mind-body connection is, what in the world can one do to change their thoughts? Especially subconscious ones? It’s a good question, and there are a few ways to address that, but one thing you must first get out of the way is whether or not you might actually rather be chronically unwell. Seriously. Lately, I’ve...

Manorexia – Eating Disorders in Men

By Brendan Hannigan Imagine, for a moment, the following scenario: You are a typical American tourist visiting one of the major cities in Spain and/or Italy.

You have been saving for this trip for months or years, and you’ve resolved to enjoy it to the fullest extent, so...

Fertility Awareness/Sympto-Thermal Method

By Hannah Ransom Fertility awareness. The name itself conjures up all sorts of strange connotations. Many people hear fertility and immediately jump to people trying to get pregnant and assisted reproductive technologies. Others equate fertility awareness with the rhythm method or other outdated forms of natural birth control. In reality, fertility awareness is now the common name specifically...
