10 important medicinal plants to grow in your garden
mail
Veggies?
I found growing veggies to be a lot of work. Years ago, Kimberly and I decided to go to the farmer's market and let the experts do it. This way, we supported local farmers and always had amazing veggies year round.
Medicinal plants?
Growing healing herbs is so easy that I used to have a calendula and mint garden on the balcony of our apartment when Rowan was little.
And it's so empowering to be able to grow your own apothecary.
We only grow herbs that do well in our climate. Often, the more stressed a medicinal plant gets, the better medicine it produces. A little weeding and watering is all we ever do.
However, there’s a little more to gardening than simply sticking a seed (or plant) into the ground.
My friend, and fellow gardener and herbalist, Sue Kusch has an amazing amount of gardening knowledge. I often turn to her myself for gardening help!
This week Sue is presenting...

Hypertension Late in Life Harms Brain
By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.
Autopsies on nearly 1,300 older people found signs of damage and one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease at greater levels in the brains of those with high blood pressure than among those with pressure closer to normal, researchers reported.
The study does not prove cause and effect, and it does not yet provide a comparison of rates of dementia or its most common form, Alzheimer's — those results will take longer to parse. But it challenges a theory that high pressure is not as harmful in old age as it is when people are younger.
Special: Stop Alzheimer’s in Its Tracks — Dr. Small’s Guide Shows You How!
The research began in 1994 and combined people from three studies of aging who agreed to donate their brains for autopsy upon their death. All were over 65 and without known dementia at the start and were followed until they died — at an average age of 89 and after an average of eight years in the study.
Two-thirds had high blood pressure, defined as a top reading of 140 or more when the study began (it's now 130 under new guidelines). Their pressures were measured once a year during the study.
After each participant died, researchers examined their brains for areas of dead tissue caused by lack of blood supply. These blighted areas can be tiny and cause no symptoms, so they're sometimes called evidence of "silent strokes."
About half of the study participants had one or more of these, and the risk was greater for those with higher blood pressure. For example, people with an average top reading of 147 had a 46% greater risk of having one or more of the bad spots than those with an average top reading of 134. People with higher bottom blood pressure readings also had a greater risk for this problem.

“Nearly a third of patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s
don’t have the disease.” — Dr. Gary Small

Jimi,

The craziest thing happened when we had all these experts in our studio filming the Fatty Liver Docu-Class.

Over and over again the connection between CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE and FATTY LIVER DISEASE kept popping up!

So while we had everyone in the studio we decided to film the Kidney Health Docu-Class!​

Hey Jimi

We’ve been told the goal is to avoid disease.

But there’s actually a much stronger why, and it involves changing the way you eat.

You see, most people only start asking questions after they’ve gotten sick….

After the cancer diagnosis.

After the heart scare.

After the meds become their daily routine.

But the focus really SHOULD NOT BE on waiting until something breaks.

It SHOULD BE on building a body that knows how to heal itself naturally, every day.

That’s what you’ll learn at the 2025 Food Revolution Summit Docuseries.

This f-ree, expert-led series walks you through the real science of how food interacts with your body to prevent disease… and build health that actually lasts.

You’ll hear from 45 doctors, scientists, and researchers as they pull back the curtain on:

  • How real food supports your body’s ability to prevent and fight cancer

  • The most overlooked nutrient deficiency in North America

  • What’s actually going on with Ozempic and other weight loss drugs

  • What short-chain fatty acids, fermented foods, and sweeteners are really doing to your gut

  • Why some supplements are worth it… and others just waste money

  • And the early-stage Alzheimer’s protocol that has shown real cognitive improvement
This is life-saving, life-extending information…

Backed by decades of research…

Delivered in a format you’ll actually enjoy watching.

Because when you’re informed, you stop living in fear of disease.

You stop outsourcing your health to systems built on sick care.

And you start making choices that actually help your body thrive.

If there’s something we wish everyone could watch, this would be one of them.

💡 Start learning what prevention really looks like from the experts at the Summit.

To showing up for your health,

The Conquering Cancer Team​

The Heavy Metals Summit

Imagine if you read a scientific study about a home. Imagine if this study observed over 2,000 homes over 20 years.
Now imagine this scientific study made the following conclusion…
People living in homes with certain safeguards were 40% less likely to develop certain illnesses.
There were no drastic lifestyle changes required.
Impossible?
Well, read that again.
40% less likely to develop certain illnesses and no drastic lifestyle changes?
If a home could do that, everyone on the planet would want it.
And the world would be a much healthier and happier place!
Well, there is research suggesting that...
But it wasn’t a specific type of HOME that lowered your chances of developing certain illnesses by 40%.
It was implementing certain strategies in your home environment! Seriously!
We're running a free overview showing you key steps you can take to reduce exposure to heavy metals in your home and improve your health and wellbeing.
--->>Sign up for the free resource.
After natural disasters, many homes are overwhelmed with toxins. Taking steps to mitigate those toxins can drastically improve health outcomes. You see, eliminating heavy metal exposure is an important factor in maintaining optimal health.
You can learn all about this and more from April 14 - 20.​
Here are 3 reasons why you should join us:
Making your home a safe haven is one of the very best investments in your health and wellbeing - so you want to be sure you’re approaching it wisely! Spending the time and effort to take these steps is worth it for your health. And making your home safer costs A LOT LESS than you might think.
Shopping for testing and remediation options can be confusing and daunting - We’ll save you countless hours of research because we've done the legwork.
You can take advantage of an amazing opportunity - because we have information for you that you can't get anywhere else.
Honestly - we have no interest in being "safe home salesmen." Whether you are interested in testing and remediation or not - it really doesn't matter to me. But join us anyway and learn why - at some point down the line - you should think about having access to this information. Whether you want to improve your sleep, decrease your disease risk - or simply have an easy way to feel good every day - a safer home is the answer.
There are numerous studies demonstrating the health benefits of reducing toxin exposure. Join us as we go through just a few and explain why this information is so beneficial and important.
Have a great day and hope to see you at the Heavy Metals Summit!​
So thankful that you're making an investment in your health, your life and yourself.
Because health means everything,​

Sometimes things are just hyped up - but sometimes the hype is justified.
That's definitely the case with HOCL.
It's a new type of cleaning technology that uses ZERO harmful chemicals - in fact the CDC have just advised schools and hospitals to move over to using it.
You probably already know that in your home you have…
  • Popular clothing you should avoid because it may be carcinogenic
  • To be very selective about the makeup you use
  • Pet products that often contain TCVP, a nerve poison
  • 5 common cosmetic ingredients that must be avoided
  • Pillow types that have been linked to cancer, liver, kidney damage, etc.
  • And more!
And as well as all that junk you have [seriously strong kitchen cleaners that do serious damage.]
The same cleaners you use most days.
Well, now you can replace them with the same SAFE CLEANER that the CDC recommends.
Our good friend Trevor King is hosting a SHORT webinar about it on Tuesday evening.
And we’ve gotten you an amazing price on this if you are interested.
Now listen - this is NOT thousands of dollars - in fact, you'll be surprised that this will cost you LESS than the average household spends on the crappy, dangerous cleaners.
Interested now? ;)

Have you ever spent an hour or two reading blogs, watching YouTube videos, or listening to podcasts about diabetes nutrition?

If so, you may have felt MORE confused than when you started.

There is so much contradictory information floating around the internet, from people who all seem to have their own agenda. There's the plant-based, vegan propaganda, the dire-hard keto or carnivore crowd, and the good old gals (and guys), teaching the low-fat, high-carb "heart-healthy" diet recommendations.

How do you separate the facts from fiction?

I just created to new webinar where I'll take on the five BIGGEST lies that I see propagated online. I'll share each of these, explain the logic and tell you why it's a lie, and then share the truth about each topic.

The webinar is this Friday, April 11th at 1:00pm Eastern, 10:00am Pacific.

>> Register now by clicking here.

This webinar training will be less than an hour, and will be jam-packed with valuable information.

Here's some of what I'll cover:

  • The Five Biggest Lies related to diabetes and nutrition and why they are wrong!
  • The difference between body fat and dietary fat, and why matters!
  • What actually causes insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes and how to fix it!
  • The truth about plant-based diets, ketogenic diets, and other popular eating strategies!
  • The A-Z Blueprint for how to fix your blood sugar and reverse pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes!

Is Soy Safe for Breast Cancer Healing?​

​
There’s a lot of fear and misinformation when it comes to soy and estrogen—especially for those with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. But not all soy (or estrogen) is created equal.

Fermented and whole soy—like miso, tempeh, and Haelan 951—can actually support your healing journey.​
On the other hand, highly processed soy isolates found in protein powders and meat substitutes can do more harm than good.

In this blog, we dive into the key differences between xeno-estrogens and phyto-estrogens, break down what science says about soy and breast cancer, and show how foods like flax and fermented soy can help restore hormonal balance.

If you’ve been told to avoid all soy, this post may change the way you think.​

GENETIC ENGINEERING

Insecticide-Producing GMOs​

Monsanto had two big ideas for how to “improve” crops with genetic engineering. The first was to make them impervious to herbicides. The second was to make them produce their own insecticides. With both, we’d eat more and more of its poisons with every bite.
These GMOs should have been subjected to rigorous, scientific safety reviews, but the Food & Drug Administration exempted them from the food additives law as “generally recognized as safe.”
In the U.K. the government had a slightly different approach. In 1995, after already releasing GMOs onto the market, it assigned industry-friendly academics to prove they were safe. It commissioned a study of GMOs engineered to express a natural insecticide known to be harmless to humans. They even cut the scientists in on a share of the profits.
Árpád Pusztai, Ph.D., was among them and he began his research believing he would prove that GMOs were safe. He fully expected the GMOs to control insects without harming eaters.
He was shocked by the results of his rat feeding studies. Somehow the gene product was safe when sprinkled on food, but it was toxic when expressed by the genetically engineered potatoes, even when expressed at a lower level than in the control diet.
Dr. Pusztai was brave enough to tell the truth. He went on British TV with a grave warning: “We are assured that: ‘This is absolutely safe. We can eat it all the time. We must eat it all the time. There is no conceivable harm which can come to us.’ But, as a scientist looking at it, actively working in the field, I find that it is very, very unfair to use our fellow citizens as guinea pigs. We have to find the guinea pigs in the laboratory.”

ATTAINABLE SUSTAINABLE

Basic Prepping: Smart (and Panic-Free) Planning​

Kris Bordessa (National Geographic, author) writes for Attainable Sustainable:
“I am not a Doomsday prepper in any sense. But I was raised in a manner that instilled the need to always be ready for just-in-case scenarios. Basic prepping like this isn’t panic inducing; instead, knowing that you’ll be mostly okay if there’s an unexpected job loss or natural calamity eases the mind!

We never know when we’ll face disaster or upheaval, whether on a global scale or a household scale, but we can always improve how our household is equipped to handle what may come, even if we’re just dealing with unexpected power outages.
It’s probably time to shift back to cooking with ingredients rather than depending on some of our favorite ready-made options. This is easier on a tight budget and pantry staples like dry beans and rice can be stored for years.
Instead of buying a ready-to-eat vegan burrito bowl from the frozen food section, you’re going to make that burrito bowl from scratch. Instead of hoping that there’s a loaf of bread on the shelf, you’re going to learn to make your own.”

TAKE ACTION

Ban Insecticide-Producing GMOs​

If Health & Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy is serious about his campaign to Make America Healthy Again, this will mean insecticide-producing GMOs finally get safety tested—and taken off the market.
Earlier Food & Drug Administrations slipped GMOs into the food supply under a 1992 policy to exempt GMOs from the law by declaring them “generally recognized as safe.”
The harm Monsanto has done to human health with its insecticide-producing crops is all the more diabolical now that we know that it’s been a disaster for farmers, too.
Just as the weeds developed resistance to Roundup, pests became immune to the insecticide crops. By 2020, the pest problem was so out of control and farmers were so desperate that the Trump Administration’s Environment Protection Agency proposed a national phase-out of all Bt corn and cotton varieties except for one, Syngenta’s Vip3A protein, which had yet to develop insect resistance.
This wouldn’t have helped make our food any safer. If we go by what Dr. Pusztai learned, we have to assume Syngenta’s GMO (now owned by ChemChina) is just as dangerous as Monsanto’s (now owned by Bayer), but at least farmers wouldn’t be paying top dollar for useless GMO seeds!
TAKE ACTION: Tell Sec. Kennedy: Safety-Test & Ban Insecticide-Producing GMOs!

MODERN AGRICULTURE

Fruits And Vegetables That Look Nothing Like They Used To​

By Holly Riddle, The Takeout:
“When you walk through the produce aisle, you may come across just a few fruits or vegetables that aren’t entirely familiar. You may know what they are, but you might not know how to use them or even what far away place the chain shipped them in from. After all, if you live in the United States, it’s unlikely that your farm or orchard down the road is growing rambutan (different from lychee) or durian fruit. However, most of the fruits and veggies on display are pretty recognizable. The pyramids of apples, the crates of cabbages, and the piles of peaches all represent foods you probably became quickly familiar with as a child.
If, though, you were to travel back in time, sometimes even just a hundred years ago, you might find that the fruits and vegetables you thought you knew and loved are entirely unfamiliar. Over the decades and centuries, modern agriculture and cultivation have entirely changed the appearances of certain plants, making for heartier, bigger, better fruits and veggies. Here are some of the most common fruits and vegetables that currently look nothing at all like they used to.”

URGENT: Help Us Stop Frankenfoods From Evading Scientific Scrutiny​

For decades, corporations like Monsanto have exploited regulatory loopholes to flood our food supply with genetically engineered crops—without proper safety testing and with zero accountability. These pesticide-producing GMOs have been rubber-stamped by government agencies that serve corporate interests instead of public health.
Now, a rare opportunity for real reform is within reach—but we must act to make sure independent science, not corporate spin, shapes the future of our food.
The Organic Consumers Association (OCA) is leading the fight to expose the dangers of untested GMOs, demand rigorous, transparent oversight, and protect the integrity of organic food and farming.
We need your help—NOW. Our funding is URGENTLY needed at this critical turning point.
We count on you—our grassroots supporters—to power this fight. Every dollar goes directly toward campaigns, advocacy, and holding Big Ag accountable.
Together, we can stop Frankenfoods from taking over our food system—and build a future where health, transparency, and nature come first.

As U.S. Agroforestry Grows, Federal Funding Freeze Leaves Farmers in the Lurch​

Sarah Derouin writes for Mongabay:
“Agroforestry, the ancient agricultural system of integrating trees and shrubs with crops and livestock, has seen a revival in recent decades in the U.S. Around the country, agroforestry projects have sprung up, bolstered by federal grants like the Department of Agriculture’s Climate-Smart Commodities program. Federal agencies have also partnered with nonprofits to provide training and resources for farmers interested in diversifying their crops, bolstering their soil, and sequestering carbon.
From 2017 to 2022, the number of agroforestry projects increased by 6% nationwide. The efforts had a ripple effect, providing new opportunities for communities to strengthen their local economy and bolster food systems.
But on Jan. 27, 2025, the Trump administration issued an executive order to freeze federal funding over the next 90 days pending a review. This freeze included grants that went directly to agroforestry projects across the country. Reimbursement payments were halted for work already completed, pay was frozen, new hiring plans were canceled, and community services screeched to a stop.”

NEW RESEARCH

Your Best Defense Against Microplastics Might Already Be in Your Produce Drawer​

Andi Breitowich, Food & Wine:
“If it seems like a weekly occurrence that a new microplastic-filled product is potentially harming your health, you’re right. Between tea bags, lipstick, dishwasher detergent, and gum (among many other things), it’s hard to avoid these tiny toxic particles. But there’s a glimmer of good news: a study published in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis found that colorful fruits and vegetables may combat the negative effects of microplastics in the body.
Fruits and vegetables are known for their abundant vitamins and minerals, but the study examined how anthocyanins — natural compounds found in colorful fruits and vegetables — may protect the reproductive systems from microplastic damage. Specifically, researchers explored how anthocyanins interact with steroid receptors (protein molecules within a cell that bind to hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone) which play essential roles in reproductive health, says Angelo Falcone, MD, an integrative medicine physician and founder of Dignity Integrative Health and Wellness. “This isn’t an original research study with experiments, but rather a comprehensive review of existing literature because the study authors looked at how microplastics disrupt our endocrine system and harm reproductive health, then assessed how anthocyanins might counteract these effects through their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.’”

SWEET AND DEADLY

New Book: How Coca-Cola Spreads Disinformation and Makes Us Sick​

By Patrick Long, TCD:
“It’s common knowledge that soda is packed with sugar and associated with several serious health conditions, like diabetes and cancer. So, how does Coca-Cola, the No. 1 soft drink company on the planet, maintain a great reputation?
A new book by author and journalist Murray Carpenter explores this phenomenon and reveals the dark reasons behind it.
Carpenter’s book, ‘Sweet and Deadly: How Coca-Cola Spreads Disinformation and Makes Us Sick,’ details the lengths the Coca-Cola Company has gone to mislead the public about the safety of its products.
One of Coke’s underhanded tactics involved funding organizations like the Sugar Research Foundation and the Global Energy Balance Network to spin food science in its favor. The former was a nefarious but highly effective PR move that began in 1943. It was the basis for similar tobacco PR campaigns that followed in the 1950s.”

HEALTHY LIVING

Red Flags To Know About Pillows To Avoid Common Toxins​

By Sophia Beams, House Digest:

“Is it time to replace your bedding? Shopping around for a good pillow is just as essential as finding the perfect mattress — and not just in terms of comfort, either. One of the biggest mistakes people make when buying pillows is not checking to see whether it’s free of toxins.

There’s a lot more hiding from you in your average pillow than you might think. Inorganic materials such as polyester and memory foam can release chemicals into the air over time, irritating your skin and lungs — not to mention the fact that they aren’t biodegradable either, which is a serious problem when you think about how often you should be changing out your pillows. Even natural materials like cotton, when grown with fertilizers and pesticides, carry these chemicals from where they were planted all the way into your very own pillow. Thinking that duck or goose-down pillows are the best option? Bad news — these feathers are often chemically treated before they make their way into your pillow stuffing. Even down alternatives fall victim to their already vague name because they’re often filled with a variety of potentially hazardous materials, too.

All of these pillow facts might be downright making you lose sleep. But don’t lose hope just yet — instead, let’s talk about the best way to shop for non-toxic pillows.”

We've all heard how calcium "does a body good"...

But before you spend a dime on a calcium supplement, you've got to check this out.

A recent report from researchers at John Hopkins University School of Medicine states:
​
"Excess calcium in the form of supplements may damage the heart and vascular system"
Yes, you read that right –

Taking calcium supplements might actually increase your risk of heart problems.

According to studies, calcium has a habit of wandering off to all the wrong places in your body...

Like your arteries and soft tissue!

And too much calcium in your arteries can lead to plaque build up, blood clots, and even heart attacks.

But here's the thing:

To be healthy, your body NEEDS calcium.

From bone health to nerve messaging and more, calcium is necessary for tons of essential functions!

So how do you make sure calcium gets to the RIGHT places without wreaking havoc on your heart along the way?

Simple.
​
You call on Calcium's “best friend” to guide it.

Vitamin K2 directs calcium to where it's needed most...

Like your bones, muscles, and nerves...

And it plays defense, keeping calcium AWAY from your bloodstream and arteries.

That's not all - K2 can also:

  • Maintain healthy blood sugar levels
  • Support strong teeth
  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
  • And even enhance white blood cell activity
And get this...

You don't even need a huge amount to get max benefits –

Clinical studies say just 320 micrograms per day of K2 is enough.

However, this vital nutrient is really hard to come by from diet alone.

If you were in Japan, you could get your K2 from a dish called "natto" (don't ask about the pungent taste or smell)...

But in the Western world...

Experts estimate that up to 97% of Americans are K2 deficient.

That's why we created Just Thrive Vitamin K2-7 –

So you can EASILY get the recommended amount of K2-7 your body needs!

Sourced from non-GMO chickpea natto and guaranteed to be 100% potent...

Just Thrive Vitamin K2-7 can help ensure your calcium plays nice...

So you can enjoy lasting heart, bone, and total body health.
