6 Bodily Tissues That Can Be Regenerated Through Nutrition​

It may come as a surprise to some, especially those with conventional medical training, but the default state of the body is one of ceaseless regeneration. Without the flame-like process of continual cell turnover within the body - life and death ceaselessly intertwined - the miracle of the human body would not exist.

The Amazing Healing Properties of 13 Common Fruits​

Fruit is not only enjoyable to eat -- as it should be, considering the very word fruit stems from the Latin word frui, meaning "to enjoy, use" -- but it also nourishes and protects the body with powerful, built-in medicinal activity. Fruits are by design a "perfect food," intended to entice animals to consume them in order to help disseminate their seeds, for instance.

We live in a time when medical miracles are everywhere—yet millions in their 30s, 40s, and 50s are struggling with stubborn weight gain, brain fog, and fatigue.

Why?

Because some of the very strategies we’re told to follow are outdated and simply not working anymore.

Here’s the hard truth:

Chronic stress, environmental toxins, and disrupted gut health could silently be sabotaging your energy and metabolism.

Research even confirms that “aging is not an inevitable decline but a modifiable process influenced by our lifestyle choices”

Here’s exactly how it was said….

“The hallmarks of aging such as genomic instability, telomere attrition, and loss of proteostasis, are significantly impacted by modifiable lifestyle factors, suggesting that our current health challenges can be addressed with the right interventions.”
~ (Lopez-Otín, Blasco, Partridge, Serrano, & Kroemer, 2013).

And if that wasn’t enough, consider these startling stats:
  • 60% of Americans live with a chronic disease.
  • 42% of middle-aged women report feeling burned out.
  • 1 in 5 adults struggle with mental health issues.
No wonder so many feel like they’re fighting an uphill battle every day!

But what if you could flip the script?

What if there was a proven, science-backed roadmap to turn midlife challenges into opportunities for vibrant health?

That’s exactly what The Ageless Energy Summit is all about.From March 13 – 19, join Laura Frontiero and Jason Prall, two trailblazing health revolutionaries, as they lead a FR EE, online event featuring 27 experts.

Genetics Not Major Factor in Late-Onset Alzheimer’s

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.

Genetics plays a role in early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, but less so in late-onset Alzheimer’s, which makes up the vast majority of cases.

Early-onset Alzheimer’s, also known as “familial Alzheimer's disease,” occurs between ages 30 and 60. It is rare, representing less than 5% percent of cases.

Special: Brain Doctor: Simple Way to Stay Mentally Sharp

Symptoms of late-onset Alzheimer’s, by far the most-common form, appear in people beginning in their early 60s. The gene most involved in the disease is known as the apolipoprotein E epsilon4 allele — the APOE e4 or APOE4 gene, for short.

This is the gene that substantially increases a person’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s, although the strength of the association varies. People who carry the e4 gene for late-onset Alzheimer’s are at higher risk than those people who don’t, but it is not certain that they will develop the disease.

Research is showing that practicing a healthy lifestyle, even if you have the gene, may help tip the scale in your favor.

Hey Jimi

March is here, and while we’re welcoming spring, our immune systems are also working double time to fight off infections…

Colds, flu, and lingering viruses that don’t seem to quit.

Yep, flu season’s here.

That’s why on March 11, we’re celebrating National Immune System Day, to remind us that our immune health should be a top priority.

But people often don’t realize that a strong immune system isn’t just about fighting off infections.

It’s also about long-term protection against disease, inflammation, and even cancer.

One of the best in the market we’ve found to do just that is Beta Glucan 100+, and it’s easy to see why:

✅ Clinically shown to strengthen immune response in just 3 days
✅ 160x more effective than Vitamin C at supporting immunity
✅ Backed by over 200,000 published studies
✅ Tested by top universities, including Louisville and Harvard

It’s an easy, once-a-day habit that trains your immune system to detect and eliminate threats before they take hold.

And to celebrate National Immune System Day, our friends at Better Way Health are giving up to 30% off Beta Glucan 100+...

… but only for a limited time!

So hurry and get yours today while the offer’s still up.

Spring may be around the corner, but the threats to your health haven’t gone anywhere.

👉 Give your immune system the support it deserves and start protecting yourself against flu and diseases today.

To a strong and resilient body,

The Conquering Cancer Team

Dr. C here.

The other day, I was driving to visit my parents when I passed by a home that sparked a memory.

Fifty years ago, this was where my grandmother used to pick up vitamins. As a hobby, she was a buyer for a vitamin company, placing bulk orders for friends and relatives. I remember going there with mom when grandma couldn’t do the pickups herself. I was always impressed at the tall shelves well-organized with countless bottles. And I felt like a big helper by carrying heavy boxes for mom.

Because of grandma, my mom always had vitamins for us. During cold and flu season, she sent me to school with chewable vitamin C to take throughout the day.

That early exposure to supplements made me wonder—if vitamins are so helpful, why don’t more people use them? And why weren’t they ever mentioned when I saw doctors about my seizures?

The more I learned, the more clear it became: the right nutrients can improve longevity, reduce disease risk, and fill in dietary gaps. But as a thyroid specialist, I’ve realized that the nutrients that are good for others aren’t always good for you.

For people with thyroid disease, too much of the wrong thing—like high-dose iodine or certain forms of selenium—can do more harm than good That’s why I formulated Thyroid Daily—to be a precise, thyroid-specific multivitamin that works with your thyroid, not against it.

Even if you already take Thyroid Daily, you might be surprised by what makes it different.

In today’s blog, I break down:

  • Which nutrients matter most for thyroid health, and why.
  • Which foods work best with thyroid daily.
  • The common mistakes in thyroid supplements.
  • How Thyroid Daily is designed to fill in the right gaps—without overload.
Even small changes in the right direction can make a real difference in how you feel. Whether you're just starting to fine-tune your thyroid health or looking to optimize your routine, the right nutrients matter.

Read today’s blog here to make sure you're getting exactly what your thyroid needs—no more, no less.

To your best health,

    Hi Jim,
    Dr. Osborne here,

    Modern medicine often focuses on symptom management, but what if true healing requires a deeper look at nutrition and root causes?

    Tonight, I’m joined by Dr. David Brownstein, a conventionally trained doctor who transformed his medical approach after struggling with severe asthma and witnessing the health decline of his own family due to over-reliance on medications. His journey led him to uncover the critical role of iodine, nutrition, and holistic care in achieving lasting wellness.

    Together, we’ll discuss:

    ✅ Dr. Brownstein’s shift from conventional to holistic medicine
    ✅ How iodine plays a key role in thyroid health and overall well-being
    ✅ The importance of treating root causes instead of just masking symptoms
    ✅ Why an integrative, nutrition-based approach is essential for long-term health

    This conversation challenges mainstream medical narratives and highlights the power of compassionate, patient-focused care. If you’ve ever questioned whether there’s a better way to support your health, you won’t want to miss this.

    📅 Tonight at 6:00 PM CT
    📍 Live on YouTube and Facebook

    Join us for this eye-opening discussion!​

The Food-Mood Connection: How to Eat for Balance and Healing

Did you know your gut produces over 90% of serotonin—the hormone that makes you feel happy and balanced? That means your food choices directly impact your mood, brain chemistry, and emotional well-being.
Foods like leafy greens, healthy fats, and fermented foods support mental clarity and calm, while processed foods, refined sugar, and caffeine can lead to anxiety and brain fog.
But here’s something you may not have considered—obsessing over healthy eating can also be harmful. Orthorexia, an extreme fixation on eating “perfectly,” can cause stress, guilt, and even contribute to disease progression.
Healing is about more than just what’s on your plate—it’s also about how you feel about what you eat. In our latest blog, we explore:
  • The best foods for brain health and emotional balance
  • Foods that may be triggering anxiety, depression, and inflammation
  • How to foster a positive relationship with food on a healing journey

TAKE ACTION

Mexico Is Banning GMOs—Tell Congress To Do the Same​

Mexico is taking action to protect its rich reserve of native corn varieties from the genetic pollution of GMO corn. A new constitutional amendment prohibits the planting of genetically modified corn, prioritizes the protection of biodiversity and food sovereignty, defends the milpa system, and promotes traditional crops and native seeds.
Our Mexican organization, Vía Orgánica, led by Mercedes López, has played a fundamental role in achieving this important resolution. Mercedes has worked tirelessly alongside other activists, lawyers and politicians on the “Sin Maíz No Hay País” (Without Corn There Is No Country) campaign, a powerful rallying cry, uniting peasant, indigenous, scientific, and social organizations in a shared movement to protect non-GMO corn, the very foundation of Mexico’s food system and cultural heritage.
Unfortunately, the U.S. has been fighting Mexico every step of the way. In December, it won a trade dispute under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) against Mexico’s restrictions on imports of genetically engineered corn from the United States.
Instead, the U.S. should be following Mexico’s lead.

FARM BILL

Dramatic Changes to the U.S. Government May Impact the Future of Organic​

Max Goldberg, Organic Insider:
“At the end of December and just before President Trump took office, Congress passed a last-minute spending package to prevent a government shutdown and extended the Farm Bill for another year. Yet, funding for vital organic programs was cut.
Though the cost is minuscule in relation to the overall Farm Bill, just over $10 million per year, the damage to our industry will be severe. As per the National Organic Coalition, the organic programs left unfunded include the following:
* The Organic Certification Cost Share Program: Without it, certification costs will increase significantly in 2025.
* The Organic Data Initiative: Without this program, the USDA will be hampered in its efforts to provide organic producers with the critical data they need to meet growing consumer demand and remain competitive.
* The Organic Certification Trade and Tracking Program: Its defunding, which cancels the purchase of vital technology infrastructure to prevent fraud, will hamper the USDA’s ability to safeguard the integrity of the organic label and enforce the new Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) rule.
‘Congress’s failure to fund these essential programs is a short-sighted decision that jeopardizes the future of organic agriculture in the United States,’ said Abby Youngblood, executive director of the National Organic Coalition.”

HEALTHY LIVING

Gardening Linked To Staying Sharp in Later Life, Study Finds​

University of Edinburgh reports:

“A study which examined the lifestyles of hundreds of older adults found that those who spent time gardening had better cognitive function in later life than those who did not.

Importantly, this was the case even when accounting for a person’s socio-economic status, time spent in education, childhood cognitive ability, health, and overall level of physical activity in older age.

Researchers say the findings provide some of the first evidence that gardening activity in older age is associated with small, but detectable, cognitive benefits over the life-course.
On average, the 280 who frequently or sometimes gardened showed greater lifetime improvement in cognitive ability compared with those who never gardened or rarely did so. Between the ages of 79 and 90, cognitive ability, including memory, problem solving, and word fluency, generally declined across the board, but the earlier advantage of gardeners endured.”

DR. JOSEPH MERCOLA

The Role of Sun Exposure in Optimizing Your Cellular Health​

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola:
“STORY-AT-A-GLANCE
* Just like plants, you need sunlight to thrive, as there’s a biological mechanism in your body that transforms sunlight into cellular energy
* When the sun’s rays touch your skin, your body captures the red and near-infrared light and converts them into electrons. Your body then uses these electrons to feed the electron transport chain and create ATP in your mitochondria
* Reductive stress is a biological mechanism that could be hampering your ability to create sufficient cellular energy. If going out in the sun makes you feel worse, you may need to first resolve reductive stress in your body
* Grounding to the earth and using methylene blue can help get rid of the excessive electrons that have accumulated in your mitochondria. However, it is crucial to address the root causes of reductive stress
* Beyond vitamin D production, sunlight exposure helps optimize melatonin production and anchors the circadian rhythm for better sleep, making it a crucial but underrated factor in overall health maintenance”

DR. JOSEPH MERCOLA

The Role of Sun Exposure in Optimizing Your Cellular Health​

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola:
“STORY-AT-A-GLANCE
* Just like plants, you need sunlight to thrive, as there’s a biological mechanism in your body that transforms sunlight into cellular energy
* When the sun’s rays touch your skin, your body captures the red and near-infrared light and converts them into electrons. Your body then uses these electrons to feed the electron transport chain and create ATP in your mitochondria
* Reductive stress is a biological mechanism that could be hampering your ability to create sufficient cellular energy. If going out in the sun makes you feel worse, you may need to first resolve reductive stress in your body
* Grounding to the earth and using methylene blue can help get rid of the excessive electrons that have accumulated in your mitochondria. However, it is crucial to address the root causes of reductive stress
* Beyond vitamin D production, sunlight exposure helps optimize melatonin production and anchors the circadian rhythm for better sleep, making it a crucial but underrated factor in overall health maintenance”

BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY

The Daylight Savings Debate Misses the Point: Let’s Make Work Hours Flexible​

Lynne Peeples writes for The Guardian:
“The DST debate is heating back up. But all this chatter is, once again, largely missing the point–an omission particularly glaring for an administration that claims to be seeking greater efficiency.
The time displayed on our walls and wrists carries only the meaning we attach. If we want to rein in our nation’s spending, if we want to make America healthy again, then we should turn attention to our inner clocks. For starters, we should nudge companies and schools to relax or revise rigid schedules – rather than, for example, reverting to pre-pandemic in-office requirements.
We are all born with inner clocks, better known as our circadian rhythms. These biological drumbeats sync with our planet’s patterns to drive our bodies to do the right things at the right times: fall asleep, digest food, and fight pathogens, to name a few vital functions. But our internal timekeepers don’t all tick the same. Your 7am might be my 2pm.”

REAL FARMS NOT FAKE FOOD

What Consumers Should Ask About Precision Fermentation in Our Food Supply​

By Errol Schweizer, Forbes:
“Precision fermentation is a relatively new food technology that is rapidly entering the mainstream. Products such as milk protein, animal fats, collagen, honey, lobster, egg whites and more are receiving hundreds of millions of investor dollars. They are being rapidly commercialized for the mass market without the raising and killing of animals.
These products are being marketed to a young consumer base that wants sustainable, climate-friendly foods that buck the system and promise a better tomorrow. But what should consumers being asking about this new wave of food technologies?


-What is in the cell culture medium and what is it derived from? The microorganisms need to eat if they are to grow and produce sellable commodities, like any type of livestock.
-Is the nutrient bath derived from corn or soy, typically genetically modified to withstand high dosages of herbicides?


-How much waste material is produced by such microorganisms relative to sellable product? This includes metabolic wastes, as well as the leftover steep once the spent microbes and consumable material have been filtered out.

-How does the energy and resource usage of such products compare to competing animal-based items?

-Who holds the patents or intellectual properties?
-How much of this technology is open sourced?”

    Greetings!
    When spring arrives, violets are some of the first to announce it—popping up with their heart-shaped leaves and colorful blooms.
    The first time I made a violet-infused oil, I was amazed at how it softened my skin.
    And when I tried violet syrup for a lingering dry cough, I discovered a whole new reason to love this springtime ally.

Jimi,

You pour your heart into your garden…

You plant, water, protect, and nurture…

… but just one wrong move can all come crashing down.

Deer, rabbits, insects, disease—these are the usual suspects.

You have fences, netting, and organic solutions to ward them off.

But what if I told you there's something far worse lurking in the shadows?

It isn't a bug or a fungus, and no amount of fencing can stop it.

The worst part?

Most homesteaders don't know it's there until it's too late.

So, what is this silent killer?

It's in how you "protect" your self-reliant food system" from the effects of natural and made-made disasters.

Trust me, this is NOT something the "average" gardener even thinks about.

Remember my old video, "Do you need a gun to garden?"

However, the domino effects of any crisis like this can have far more significant consequences than those of any animal or insect.

The good news?

There's still time to fix it.

In fact, this week, my friend and fellow homesteader Jeff Anderson (who's actually a "disaster response specialist" and a 10-year combat veteran) is going to hold a free 30-minute "fast-class" workshop to help you out.

The class is super short…. It won't cost you a thing… and Jeff will reveal precisely what this overlooked threat is — and how to protect your hard-earned assets before it happens.

He'll be covering:
  • The "homestead advantage" (and why it's your weakest link during a disaster or crisis!)
  • The #1 threat hiding in your garden right now – whether it's 10 sq. ft. or 10 acres!
  • His simple "3-Step WIG Protocol" transforms your current self-reliance plan – at ANY level – into a virtual "homestead stronghold" that keeps you and your family fed and safe during any disaster or other crisis.
Again, this training is free to join, but space is limited, and it's happening tonight.

Click here to reserve your spot before it fills up.

Make sure to tune in TONIGHT at 7pm EST, 6pm CST, 5pm MT, 4pm PT

Warmly,
Marjory



P.S. – Listen, self-reliant folks like us have a massive advantage in long-term survival.

But if you miss this blind spot… everything you've worked so hard for could vanish instantly.

Don't miss this training.
