How Much Should You Exercise?

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.


In November 2018, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued its latest exercise recommendations for adults — the first time those guidelines have been updated in 10 years.

The guidelines recommend that people perform at least 150 minutes (two hours and 30 minutes) per week of moderate-intensity exercise, or 75 minutes (one hour and 15 minutes) of vigorous activity, or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. Muscle-strengthening exercise twice a week affords additional health benefits.

Special: Doctors Witness Amazing Joint Pain Changes

In addition, although it was previously believed that only sustained exercise of 10 minutes or longer conferred benefits, it’s now understood that any activity, for no matter what duration, counts.

Exercise has the following benefits:

• Lessens your chance of developing coronary heart disease by cutting risk factors such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, triglycerides, and obesity

• Reduces heart attack risk

• Strengthens the heart and improves lung function

• Elevates mood and reduces stress

• May reduce the risk of some forms of cancer

• Improves sleep

• Reduces levels of C-reactive protein and other markers of inflammation in your body, which can lead to heart disease and other ailments

Total Toxin Burden and Infections

If you watched the free Advanced Immune Module 1 Video along with its free downloadable transcript, then you will know why is it that chronic recurrent infections of all kinds are related to poor air quality and toxic mold exposures, as well as the importance of evaluating for and decreasing the total body burden of toxins, in order to recover from chronic illness.

What Infections Can I Have?

The innate branch of the immune system normally surveys for bacteria, viruses, and even cancer cells, however, it becomes suppressed by toxic mold mycotoxins, leaving the body vulnerable to infections of all kinds: Lyme, EBV and other viruses, parasitic and recurrent bacterial infections.

Infections are then often treated with antibiotics, which can further suppress the immune system and cause additional fungal or Candida overgrowth and mitochondrial damage. So, whether you or your children are suffering from recurrent sinus infections, bladder infections, ear infections, strep throats, prostatitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, Lyme, and co-infections ask yourself about the all too common toxic mold exposures underlying your issues.

As discussed in previous blogs, poor air quality also irritates the lining of the lungs and sinuses, activating the flip side, or the adaptive arm of the immune system (which makes lots of cytokines and antibodies), often triggering severe inflammation and autoimmune diseases.

All of these symptoms and how sick someone gets is tied to the concept of total body burden including other toxins like pesticides, heavy metals, and genetically modified organisms.

So Which Tests Should I get?
Testing, testing, testing….How to test for evidence of mold toxicity, total body burden, and all of these infections? Tests can involve, blood work, hair, stool, and urine samples. How do we know who is more genetically susceptible? It can be tested for! Along with cytokine measurements and organic acids. It’s important to know the many ways to look for the consequences of toxic mold, Lyme, co-infections, and autoimmunity, to finally get a resolution of your health issues!

These subjects are covered in depth with my guests on Days 3 and 4 of the ToxicMoldProject.com, free online August 17-23.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall, M.D., writes:

Most of the major risk factors that age your heart — such as high cholesterol, obesity, and high blood pressure — are well-known. But one factor is often overlooked: too little sleep.

All of us need between eight to 10 hours a night. With less than that, your body will be under constant stress, which leads to high blood pressure and heart disease.

Unfortunately, most people say that the quantity and quality of their sleep diminishes as they get older. It doesn’t have to.

Special: Sleep Better With This Doctor's Natural Secret

Most people have habits that work against getting a full night’s sleep. And when they change them, they find that elusive slumber they crave.

Here are some tips for better sleep:

• Get checked for obstructive sleep apnea. If you snore, it’s possible you have this common sleep disorder, which stresses the heart and is linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, and other ailments.

• Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Your body performs best with a predictable lifestyle.

• Wind down before bed. Stay away from computers and TV; read a book, turn the lights down, and your sleep cycle will return to normal.

• Banish your laptop and smartphone from the bedroom. The “blue light” from these devices may disrupt your body’s sleep-wake cycle.

• Avoid caffeine. Don’t drink coffee or caffeinated tea after 5 p.m.; or, if you’re sensitive to it, earlier.

Hi Jimi,
I have a question for you…
How many times have you heard, “It’s so frustrating! I’ve tried hormone replacement, Weight Watchers, and surgery, and I still can’t lose weight”?
And how many times have you heard, “it runs in my family”, “it’s a thyroid disorder” or “the result of a stressful lifestyle”?
My guess is that you’ve heard those phrases quite a bit over the years and yes, they’re all real factors, but before you decide that those must be the cause, answer these questions:
  • How did we get to this unhealthy state just in the last twenty years?
  • What is the true cause of unwanted weight gain?
  • Is it your thyroid, or is it simply bad genetics plaguing everyone?
Should we all just give up?
Unfortunately, many individuals do give up, and who can blame them when they’ve tried everything and have no positive results?
When we looked into this epidemic over ten years ago, we found that many individuals were, in fact, dealing with hormone dysregulation – but not for the reasons you might suspect, like age or stress.
The cause is way more insidious and hard to identify and as a result, all the more frustrating to fix!
What we learned through our extensive research was that the root cause of the hormone issues so many people seem to be facing these days is actually directly related to everyday chemicals we use on a regular basis to “maintain” our homes and bodies.
> > CLICK HERE to discover how to detoxify your body
As I imagine you’ve heard, research is showing that everyday products contain toxic chemicals that are triggering obesity genes and disrupting our hormones, making weight loss frustrating and virtually impossible.
Recent studies even show that obesogens and other foreign chemicals like BPA may be the cause not only of hormone havoc, but triggering genes that would normally never cause health problems.
So what’s the solution when we’re dealing with toxicity? Detox, right?
Well, you’re about half right...
I’m guessing you’ve probably tried over-the-counter detox products that are intended to help detox the liver, colon, or kidneys.
But, did you know that most of the time these detox protocols are actually wreaking havoc on your system and RE-toxifying your body?
(I was as surprised to learn that, as I think you probably are right now.)
So now you’re probably thinking, “Ok, if the over the counter detox products I’ve tried don’t actually remove the toxins in my system that are keeping me from losing weight and feeling great, is there any hope for me at all?
YES, thank goodness there is.
In order to really, truly remove the toxicity that’s at the root of those symptoms you’re experiencing, you’ve got to attack toxicity at the cellular level.
Now, while I’m versed in many things related to health and wellness, cellular detoxification is a little beyond my area of expertise.
But that’s why my good friend and detox expert, Dr. Pompa, recorded a video that talks all about toxicity and its impact on the body…
Oh, and he also shares exactly how to eliminate it.
(And it’s a lot easier to do than you think…)

Be blessed,
Dr. David Jockers

Hi Jimi,
FREE IBS eBook access (below), and Dr. Murphree Talks IBS [VIDEO]:
You’ve heard it before “you are what you eat.” However, it should be you are what you absorb. If you’re like a lot of my fibro patients, you’ll be challenged with an assortment of gastrointestinal problems, irritable bowel syndrome, reflux, heartburn, or bloating, gas, and indigestion.
If you’re not absorbing your nutrients, vitamins, minerals, etc. you’ll get little if any benefit from your health restoration protocol.
I find that adding a digestive enzyme with each meal will often reduce or eliminate any GI symptoms and just as often result in less pain and more energy…again we are what we absorb.
Our digestive tract is more vital to our health than many people realize. The state of our health is determined not only by what we eat, but whether or not it’s being absorbed properly.
The GI tract works by breaking down, absorbing, and assimilating the foods we eat into the body. These life-sustaining nutrients that are made in the digestive system (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats that yield sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids) are the building blocks for the proper biochemical functioning of our entire body.
There are so many things that can create problems in the digestive tract: Bacteria, poor diet, age, medications, etc. Sadly, even if you’re on a healthy diet, if you have something like malabsorption syndrome or low stomach acid levels, then your health will still suffer without high-dose vitamin and mineral supplementation.
Get My FREE Good Gut Health Remedies, and learn proven, step-by-step protocols for dramatically reducing or eliminating, bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, and other irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms:

Good Gut Health Remedies eBook, From Rodger Murphree, DC, CNS
Proven, step-by-step protocols for dramatically reducing or eliminating IBS, food allergies, reflux, heartburn, leaky gut, bloating, gas, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea, parasites and yeast overgrowth. Includes a 64-page eBook and access to free video training.

Take Mise-en-Place Out of the Kitchen

Individualized healthcare is finally receiving the attention it deserves from the Western medical institution – and for good reason.

No two people experience life the same way…

Not if they live on the same side of town, or have the same parents, or studied the same major. Commonalities of personality and lifestyle simply aren’t enough to guarantee similar results for similar treatment.

The same is true for personal development. No one method works exclusively well for Type-A personalities (a subjective assessment on its own), or can boast proven and consistent results for those with ADHD or anxiety.

We’re all individuals, and any one-size-fits-all approach will leave us feeling disenfranchised, disappointed, and ultimately dysfunctional.

Our approach to the organization and prioritization of our unique life gardens must be just that – unique.​

Instead of believing in systems, methods, and isms, let’s believe in strategies. Ideas. Concepts.

Any intangible modality with membranous borders, pliable enough to be adapted to your own needs and structure, should fit the bill.

Like, for example, a quaint practice derived originally from military discipline, adapted for French cooking: mise-en-place.
image
Let’s discuss what mise-en-place means and how it can apply to preparing your life.

A Decadent Idea

Mise-en-place means put in place. It’s the first step a chef takes before preparing a meal – gathering ingredients, dicing what needs dicing, chopping what needs chopping, salting, marinating, mixing, pre-heating, and whatever else will be required in the duration of cooking.

Some say it was borne of Chef Georges-Auguste Escoffier in the 19th century as part of his “brigade system.”

Essentially, mise-en-place codifies a specific plan for workflow – something even highly effective, creative, and productive people struggle with.

It’s about rigorous planning and forethought, and arranging the physical world around you to reflect readiness and promote ease of use.

Impossible tasks are a lot more impossible when scurrying for your resources occurs in the same breath as drawing up an outline.​
image

Mise-en-place, at its heart, is doing yourself a favor.

Where Can It Be Used?

Simple answer? Everywhere!

Our lives are vast and populated. If you’ve ever felt like it’s not the thing that needs to be done that scares you, but the getting started...

You’re looking at a scheduling issue, and you’re not alone.
By dedicating energy to thinking about the things you need to do and the processes you’ll need to use to do them, you break tasks down to their parts and rip the “scary” right out of them.

You limit movement and save energy.

Your work desk?

Arrange the items you’ll need first and the items you’ll use the most closest to you. There’s no need for a stapler to be front and center when your planner and calendar are buried under paperwork.

Your laundry room?

If your basket is shoved into a back corner that’s difficult to reach, and your detergent is in a messy box under the sink, and you trip over your trash can for dryer lint whenever you walk through the room, doing your laundry becomes twice as stressful. Keep the trash can next to the dryer, your basket under the sink, and your detergent within arm’s reach of the washer.

Leave a horizontal space always clear for folding laundry so you don’t fall into the trap of dirtying up another space in your home while you puzzle out the best time to spread out your clean laundry so it doesn’t inconvenience anything else.

Your relationship in disarray?

Every station in your life should be set up for what it’s for – certainly a station won’t solve every romantic problem, but is there an area for you and your partner that is designed for the two of you to connect? For most, it’s the bedroom – are the books you share or the crossword puzzles you do together within reach? Does it look like a room divided by personality?

Working clean and saving time are huge tenets included in the mise-en-place umbrella – are you unresolved about feelings, arguments, resentments? Are you starting from a clean space or loading up dishes into the sink, thinking you’ll get to them later?

Mise-en-place is a simple principle.

It implies imprinting behavior onto spaces and objects, assigning meaning and order to our surroundings.

A disordered space exists that way because things are where they don’t belong.

What in your life is where it doesn’t belong? Tackling corner by corner of your life and your space to make it maximally efficient and timely might take 30 minutes per corner.

Isn’t that worth a try?​

'Burnout' Raises Odds for A-Fib

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.


A recent study found burnout — the feeling of exhaustion, with too few hours in the day to do what needs to be done — might help trigger the irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation (A-Fib).

Special: More Than 50% of Older Americans Fail to Get Enough Magnesium

Researchers surveyed more than 11,000 people about whether or not they had symptoms of burnout and then followed them for nearly 25 years. While the study couldn't prove cause and effect, it found that people with the highest levels of burnout had a 20% higher risk of developing A-Fib during the follow-up period.

Dr. Marcin Kowalski directs cardiac electrophysiology at Staten Island University Hospital in New York City. He believes that "physicians and patients should be more aware of stress as a contributing factor to cardiac arrhythmias," and that stressed patients should be counseled to help them avoid burnout.

"Hopefully, future studies can show a reduction in stress can lead to a reduction of cardiac arrhythmia," he said.

Hey Jimi,
I’ve been a Neonatal and Intensive Care Unit (NICU) nurse for more than 18 years, and I’ve cared for thousands of mothers and babies in the hospital.
In my time, I’ve seen a ton of avoidable health conditions cause unnecessary complications for both mom and baby.
One of these unavoidable conditions is gestational diabetes, and it is now affecting a rapidly growing number of women around the world.
For many pregnant women, gestational diabetes is temporary, treatable, results in a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby, and resolves after child birth.
But for some, it can cause serious complications.
That’s why I felt compelled to write a definitive article about gestational diabetes – so that you can learn it’s ins-and-outs.
>> Click here to read my magnum opus about gestational diabetes

In this article, I go into detail about:
  • What really causes gestational diabetes?
  • How to get tested for gestational diabetes?
  • Can you actually reverse gestational diabetes?
  • What is the connection between gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes?
I’ll also give you an action plan about how you can manage (and reverse, hint hint) gestational diabetes so that you can minimize the risk for complications for both you and your baby.
I’ll also tell you EXACTLY what to eat, minimize, and avoid. You’ll discover:
  • The exact foods to eat during the first trimester
  • The exact foods to eat during the second trimester
  • The exact foods to eat during the third trimester
I wrote this article to be the definitive guide to gestational diabetes – and trust me when I say that you won't find this collection of information anywhere else on the internet.
Trust me, I’ve researched everywhere.
Read the article, leave a comment at the end, and tell me what you think!

There's Stress You Need to PREPARE For?

Stress doesn’t always mean worry. Stress means pressure, change, resistance, etc.

Most of the time, we’re unprepared for stressors – they’d cause less unpleasantness if we were prepared, right?

But there are plenty of types of stress that are good for you and that we can, nay, must, be ready for.

Hormetic stress, for example, or hormesis – the stress your body goes through when it’s fasting.

Some stress is good for us! Exercise is a good stressor. Cold showers? Good stressors. Quitting an addiction is another good stressor. You and your body come out stronger in the end.​

Hormesis, at its core, is about how good stress can help you adapt to your environment and lifestyle changes.

For our purposes here today, we’ll talk about it as it relates to intermittent fasting (IF). IF isn’t something you should do out of the blue. The body loves its routines and stability – changing the way you give it nutrients can throw it for a loop and cause unintended damaging consequences.
image

Fasting is a great example of how stress can be beneficial. We know that fasting induces autophagy – the process by which our cells repair themselves, discard old and malfunctioning cells, and recycle each other for parts.

We also know it’s excellent for allowing the gut’s flora to realign, rebalance, and restore order. Lots of intermittent fasters report weight loss as well, easing pressure on the digestive tract to perform at high capacity.

But it puts the body under stress – hormetic, specifically – and we shouldn’t jump into fasting unprepared for that to happen.

Our Hormetic and Ancestral History

Because of the nomadic and transient lifestyles of our ancestors, hormetic stress was pretty common for them. Extreme heat and cold with no climate control devices, sporadic access to food, and the relatively constant exercise all induced strategic evolutionary survival mechanisms in the human body.

Those changes happened because the body wanted to be prepared for survival, even if that meant no meat for a few weeks, or prolonged physical activity out of necessity.

During those days, and basically until about sedentary lives became the status quo, exercise became a choice, and prepared food became vastly available, humans had metabolic flexibility.
image
Metabolic flexibility is the ability to respond or adapt to conditional changes in metabolic demand. It deals with fuel selection – when the body chooses to burn fat or carbohydrates, essentially.

For example, those who suffer from anorexia are often told that by not eating, their body is in starvation mode and burning the wrong things for fuel.

It’s shocked and confused by sustained and often abrupt bouts of not eating.​

Although intermittent fasting has plenty of proven benefits, you must prepare the body for that to happen so that it doesn’t assume you’re starving – otherwise, you’ll experience limited positive effects, at best discomfort, and at worst medical problems.

So how can you prepare the body to begin intermittent fasting, knowing that you’ll be putting it through stress?

How to Get Ready to Fast

Here are a few tips to help your body ease into fasting and reap the most benefits from hormesis…

  • Stay Hydrated: Keeping your body hydrated while you’re not feeding it nutrition is essential! Water helps all sorts of bodily systems run by aiding circulation, keeping your insides well-lubricated, and helping you stave off water weight.

  • Try Time-Restricted Fasting First: Instead of heading straight to no food for several days, or a week, or whatever your desired length of time is… try shortening the feeding window first. The 16:8 feeding window is commonly effective for people with standard office jobs – only eating between the hours of noon and eight p.m. This way, your body has the chance to get used to less food, less often.

  • Avoid Alcohol for a Week or So: One of the beneficial effects of fasting is that it helps your body clear toxins and waste, allowing your cells to focus solely on regenerating themselves. Don’t overburden the liver by forcing it to clear out the toxins you gave it while it could be paying attention to bigger issues in your body!

  • Only Try One Day to Start: If you’re a regular eater (like most of us), start your first round of intermittent fasting with only one day. If that went well, return to your regular schedule for a week and then try again with two. There’s no need to jump the gun! Your body learns pretty quickly how to adjust, but starting small and working up to bigger goals is how you gain metabolic flexibility.

  • Add Broth to your Fasting Allowance: If you feel you’re ready to really go without food for a few days, try the first day with bone broth as an allowance. Still liquid, and full of nutrients, so you’re giving your gut a break from the endless digestion of a regular eating schedule, but not as harsh of a transition.

And most importantly – if it feels wrong, stop.

Try to ride hunger waves with plenty of tea and water, and keep yourself busy.

But if you feel faint or sick, go ahead and eat. Try again the next time with smaller doses of fasting!

Intermittent fasting can have enormous positive effects…

The least of which is reminding us that we can all do with a lot less of what we think we need.​

Jimi,

If you missed our email from a couple of days ago, you’ll want to check out our good friends, KC and Monica Craichy, discussing the “4 pillars of disease.”

It might seem obvious, but the best way to prevent disease is to learn the keys to health. In other words, good health is the answer to disease.

In this next video (from TTAC LIVE 2019), KC and Monica explain the 8 keys to health and provide the best ways to prevent (and combat) disease…



>> Watch KC and Monica discuss the “8 keys to health”

=====

In 2015, when Jerome McFarland was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, the doctors immediately started him on round after round of chemotherapy. But Jerome only seemed to get worse and the doctors eventually stopped the chemotherapy, claiming it was “too toxic.”

That’s when Jerome began working with a naturopath who helped him detoxify his body and fortify his immune system naturally. With high doses of natural supplements like vitamin C and magnesium, Jerome’s body finally began to heal. Praise the Lord!



We got a chance to hang out with Jerome and his lovely wife, Shari, at TTAC LIVE 2019 in Anaheim.

Watch the full video to find out what Jerome did to become completely cancer-free! And be sure to watch til the end to hear his personal message to anyone facing a cancer diagnosis.

>> Watch Jerome’s Story and be Encouraged!

Remember, cancer does NOT have to be a death sentence.

There is always hope!

God bless!

New Drugs Getting Faster FDA Approval

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.


New drugs are being approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for patients based on less and less solid evidence, thanks to incentive programs that have been created to promote drug development, a recent study shows.

Researchers report that more than 8 out of 10 new drugs in 2018 benefited from at least one special program that streamlines the approval process. The result is that patients are being prescribed pricey new medications that have not been tested as rigorously, said lead researcher Jonathan Darrow, an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School.

Special: 4 Medical Doctors Made a Surprising Discovery

The share of new drugs supported by two strong clinical trials, rather than just one, decreased from 81% to 53% between the 1990s and the 2010s. The time that the FDA spent reviewing each new drug dropped during the same period, from 2.8 years in the late 1980s to about 7.6 months in 2018.

This might be good news if highly effective new drugs were reaching the market quicker, but other research has found that the large majority of newly approved drugs offer modest benefits over existing therapies, Darrow said.

"In many cases, you can get almost all of the benefit of the new drugs by taking older drugs," such as generics, he explained.

In a statement, the FDA said the study "covers a very wide range of issues," and "we are concerned that the researchers do not adequately consider the marked changes in the types of drugs and the patient populations targeted by development programs that FDA now reviews, compared to those from just 10 or 20 years ago, nor the type, quality, and extent of data FDA routinely receives now compared to decades ago."

The agency added that it believes a failure to take those "marked changes" into account "can result in inaccurate conclusions."
