I’m sure you’ve heard of the term hangry; right?


It’s a combination of the words hungry and angry.


You probably know it as that irritable, short-tempered state that seems to take over when hunger strikes (often before you even know you’re hungry!).


I was curious about what causes this hangry phenomenon.


And what I found is absolutely fascinating, so I had to share it with you.


Glucose drops can lead to being hangry

When you go too long without eating, your blood sugar (glucose) levels start to dip. Since glucose is your brain's main source of fuel, this can lead to brain fog, difficulty concentrating, and yes, irritability.


Hunger spikes stress hormones

When you’re hungry, your body releases stress hormones, including cortisol and adrenaline, which prepare your body to defend itself. But in the absence of an actual threat, this rise can lead to excess energy, causing restlessness, irritability, and a loss of self-control.


Hanger strikes hardest when you’re primed with negative feelings

Your gut produces many of the same mood-regulating neurotransmitters that your brain does. When you're running on empty, your brain is more likely to perceive neutral stimuli as negative or threatening, increasing your reaction.


So I’d love to know your hangry story.


Do you get quiet, snappy, or anxious?


Do you notice it first, or does someone point it out to you?



Reply to this email and share your answer 🙂


Wishing you abundant health,

Have you ever experienced a moment that completely changed the course of your life?

For Jenn, it was a diagnosis she never saw coming. She sat in her doctor's office, heart pounding, as he told her: "You have Graves’ disease."

The news rocked Jenn to her core. She’s a mother, an athlete, and a philanthropist, with so much life ahead of her. And most importantly, she’s a doctor dedicated to helping people battling cancer.

So, how could this be happening to her?

Dr. Jenn Simmons was one of the country's top breast cancer surgeons. For 17 years, she tirelessly worked to save lives, driven by a personal connection to the disease that had taken her cousin at a young age. Her dedication was unwavering until she found herself on the other side of the scalpel.

She was the patient now.

Her doctor recommended surgery, radiation, and lifelong thyroid replacement hormone, but she could barely process his words. These were the exact same things that she told her patients to do without hesitation and now it’s being advised to her.

She couldn’t believe it.

Yet, she refused to give up.

Her diagnosis and battle with an autoimmune disease challenged everything she believed about conventional medicine. And her journey toward healing led her to a groundbreaking approach to medicine.

Curious about this new approach, she navigated through treatments and uncertainties, and that’s when she stumbled upon an innovative concept that changed everything she knew about health and medical conditions… especially cancer.

Dr. Simmons felt her eyes were opened when diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Suddenly in the shoes of a patient, she felt fear, confusion, and heartbreak.

This experience changed her perspective as a doctor. She began to question conventional medicine and her approach to treating her cancer patients. She felt ashamed for those she had operated on and made to believe that they would be cured soon, believing that she made a huge difference in their lives.

This led her to a new mission: understanding how the body fights diseases, especially terminal illnesses, to offer her patients a more promising future. Her autoimmune diagnosis changed her mindset, prompting a quest to better understand diseases such as cancer and their treatment. This journey led her to a groundbreaking approach to medicine.

Curious about this new approach, she explored various treatments and uncertainties. Along the way, she discovered an innovative concept that reshaped her understanding of health and medical conditions, particularly cancer, connecting it to her own experience with her autoimmune disease.

It wasn't just about genetics, diet, or lifestyle. There was a missing link that no one was talking about.

And she wasn’t alone. The world’s top integrative doctors, cancer scientists, and researchers have talked about this, but only a number of people have heard about this or have access to this information.

>> Watch this video to discover the “missing link” to cancer treatment & prevention.
What many people don't realize is that standard cancer treatments often only scratch the surface of the real issues. Even after treatments, cancer can come back.

But by digging deeper into what causes cancer, as Dr. Simmons and a lot of integrative doctors and cancer scientists and researchers did, we can learn more and fight it better.

Because the fact of the matter is, true healing goes beyond surgery and medications. It’s about addressing the root causes of disease, particularly cancer, that conventional medicine often overlooked.

Understanding why cancer happens gives us new ways to stay healthy. We can make smarter choices about our health and lifestyle to prevent cancer from coming back.

This holistic approach to health and healing is the key to learning how to fight back against this devastating disease.

In fact, leading doctors in the field are now discussing this crucial "Missing Link" in the cancer narrative.

Imagine having the knowledge that can help you take proactive steps to manage cancer, not just for yourself but for your family and future generations too.

It's a new way of thinking that brings hope and a fresh approach to beating cancer for good.

Backyard Benefits:

1.) Liver Health: the dandelion, or Taraxacum officinale, is an incredible detoxifier. It contains potent oils and bitter resins that folk healers and doctors have prescribed for liver health for centuries. It also helps to maintain the proper flow of bile while stimulating the liver -- this is the beginning of a positive feedback loop, or upward spiral, which promotes proper digestion. This in turn decreases the chance of constipation, thus leading to a lower chance of developing more serious gastrointestinal problems.

2.) Anti-Aging: the root and leaves of the dandelion are rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and Luteolin, which prevent free radical damage to our cells and DNA. This is believed to substantially slow the aging process...

Hi Jimi,

Did you know your body has a built-in detox system designed to protect you and even help lower your cancer risk?

The truth is, most people don’t really know how this system works, and I completely understand why.

It’s just not something that gets talked about much in a typical doctor's office.

Usually, the focus is on "managing" symptoms instead of supporting your body’s natural ability to clear out toxins.

Discover how to support your body’s natural detox process and reduce your toxic load here.

You see, taking care of your body isn’t just about what you eat or drink.

While that matters, there’s a big piece of the puzzle that many people miss.

It’s about how well your body can actually process and get rid of the toxins you face every day.

When you support this system properly, it takes a huge weight off your body and helps you build a foundation for long-term health.

In today’s world, we’re exposed to more toxins than ever before, through our environment, food, and everyday products.

Over time, this buildup can place stress on the body and interfere with how it functions.

That’s why it’s so important to understand how detoxification actually works, and how to support it in a way that aligns with your body.

To help you better understand how this works, and how you can safely detox at-home, I created a complimentary guide called:

"The Essential How-To Guide to Detoxing Cancer Cells."

Promotional graphic: The Essential How-To Guide to Detoxing Cancer Cells by Conquering Cancer, featuring green vegetables.

Inside, you’ll discover:


How your body’s natural detox systems support your defense against cancer.

Why many detox approaches fall short when it comes to long-term cancer support.

Simple daily habits to help your body clear toxins that may contribute to cancer risk.

And how reducing your toxic load can help create a stronger foundation for long-term health and resilience.


What you’ll learn about here isn’t extreme protocols or harsh detoxes that can cause more harm than good.

It’s about learning to work with your body in a way that’s simple, sustainable, and effective.

Download your no-cost copy of "The Essential How-To Guide to Detoxing Cancer Cells" and see how you can flush out toxins naturally.

Hey there,

Walking is good for you. We all know it. Not only is it a relaxing, gentle mode of exercise that gets your blood pumping and increases your cardiovascular limit, it’s also great for your piece of mind. Many people swear a brisk walk helps them deal with thoughts on their mind and helps them reconnect with nature. But did you know there may be other benefits for your brain?
A study just published by researchers at Mass General Brigham shows something simple but powerful: even modest walking, meaning just a few thousand steps a day, may help delay Alzheimer’s disease. Here’s what the researchers found:
  • People who averaged 3,000-5,000 steps daily saw a delay of roughly three years in cognitive decline.
  • Those walking 5,000-7,500 steps per day saw the benefit extend to about seven years.
  • By contrast, people who remained mostly inactive experienced faster accumulation of harmful proteins called tau, which are linked to Alzheimer’s, and a greater decline in thinking and daily functioning.
In other words: a bit of walking can buy your brain time.
Why does this matter? Well, the study followed nearly 300 men and women, aged 50 to 90, all of whom started without any obvious cognitive impairments. Researchers used pedometers (yes, actual step-counters) and combined that data with brain scans over time. They measured the levels of Amyloid-beta (a protein often tied to Alzheimer’s risk) and watched how quickly harmful tau proteins built up. What’s striking was that the walking benefit was strongest among those who already had elevated amyloid, meaning people more likely to develop Alzheimer’s. For them, staying active slowed tau buildup, and with it, the onset of cognitive decline. That suggests lifestyle matters, not just if you’re already showing symptoms, but before they appear.
The message is all about building “cognitive resilience” with movement.
The lead researchers, including neurologists from the Harvard Aging Brain Study, say these results show physical activity may be one of the few things we can actually control to slow Alzheimer’s progression. Basically, walking isn’t just good for your heart, it may also build up your brain’s resistance against damaging changes. And no, you don’t need to run marathons. Even a daily walk, just a bit of light activity, seems enough to matter.
For the researchers, this feels like a “brain-health jackpot”. Why? Because:
  • It’s easy. Walking is free, low-impact, and doable by most.
  • It’s scalable. A gentle walk works; you don’t need fancy equipment.
  • It’s preventive. This is especially useful if you’re in a risk group, or just want to stay sharp for decades.
  • It’s empowering. You don’t need a pill. Just shoes (or slippers) and a bit of daily movement.
And with Alzheimer’s affecting millions globally, this type of simple, accessible action could make a real difference at the population level.
And here’s what you can do today (yes, really). Ready to treat walking like a tiny brain investment? Here’s a plan:
  • Track your steps by using a simple phone app or a pedometer.
  • Aim for 5,000-7,500 steps per day. If that feels like too much, start lower (around 3-4k) and build up gradually.
  • Make it a habit. Try to take a walk after breakfast, during a break, or after dinner. Small, daily consistency wins over rare bursts.
  • Pair it with healthy living. This means balanced meals, good sleep, some mental stimulation and social connection all help your brain thrive.
  • Think long-term. This isn’t a quick boost. It’s about protecting your brain over years, even decades.
This research doesn’t reveal anything magical. This is practical and can be done on an everyday basis. Yes, more research is coming. The scientists want to dig into exactly which kinds of activity help most, and what’s happening biologically. But here’s the bottom line: this is one piece of evidence we can act on.
A few thousand extra steps each day might not feel dramatic. But over years, maybe even decades, it could help keep your memory sharper, your mind clearer, your future self a little more protected. So, why not get up on your break, put one foot in front of the other, and give your brain something to thank you for down the road?​
Yours in good health,​

Ever thought: “I want to grow my own medicinal herbs, but I have no idea which ones or what to do with them”?

You’re in good company!

We have a lot of people wanting to start herb gardens this year…but deciding which plants to grow and how you can actually USE them isn’t something a simple Google search can answer.

That’s why we’ve roped in herbalists Kaylee Richardson and Jill Ragan to join us for a free, online webinar. They’re going to show us which plants they recommend growing first, how to grow them, AND how to actually harvest and use them for yourself and your family.



herb webinar ad #2





Kaylee and Jill both have extensive herb gardens and home apothecaries. They’ve been studying herbalism for years, and can help you get started even if…

❌ ...you've tried growing herbs before and killed them.

❌ ...you don't have much space.

❌ ...medicinal herbs feel complicated or intimidating.

❌ ...you wouldn't know what to do with herbs once you grow them.


Under their guidance, you’ll learn how to start simple with just a few essential herbs and use them effectively, instead of ending up with a bunch of struggling plants you don’t know what to do with.

Every time you make a cup of tea or prepare a tincture from your herb garden, you’ll know what you're putting into your body and why—because you planted it, tended it, and harvested it yourself.

🐠 Barreleye Fish (Macropinna microstoma)​

The barreleye looks like it came from another planet. It has a clear, dome-like head so you can see its bright green, tube-shaped eyes inside. Those eyes usually point upward to spot prey as silhouettes against faint light, which matters when you live deep in the ocean where sunlight barely reaches. If you want to see what this fish actually looks like up close, click into these barreleye photos and fast facts.​
The wild part is that its eyes can rotate. For decades, scientists assumed the eyes were fixed in place, until underwater observations showed they can pivot forward when the fish is feeding. That means it can scan above, then shift to lock onto prey in front, all while the clear shield helps protect those sensitive eyes. Here’s the story that explains the rotating-eye discovery: how scientists solved the barreleye mystery.​

When Your Gut Needs A Gentle Support​

If your digestion has been feeling reactive, even healthy meals can sometimes be too much.​
Raw vegetables, dense proteins, and big smoothies may sound like a good idea on paper, but they can ask a lot from an already irritated digestive system. Soup is a great option for those times. It’s warm, hydrating, easy to break down, and often far more calming when your gut needs support.​
That’s why I wanted to share Jason Prall’s Gut-Friendly Soup Cookbook.​
Inside, you’ll find recipes designed around:​
  • easier digestion
  • gentle, nourishing ingredients
  • less strain during flares
And when you get the cookbook here, you’ll also receive a ticket to the Food Sensitivity Summit starting March 26, where 15 experts explore what may actually be driving bloating, fatigue, brain fog, and ongoing food reactions.​
If your stomach has felt unpredictable lately, this is a simple place to begin.​

Why Humans Love Campfires​

Riana and I have been craving camping lately. There’s something about getting out under the big Montana sky, getting into those quiet slower moments, and ending the day by a fire that just feels good. In the winter, when everything is cold and we’re inside more, I notice how much I miss it. And every year, as soon as the weather starts to warm up, we can’t wait to get back out there.​
One of the best parts of camping: the fire.​
There’s something about sitting around a campfire that instantly transfixes us. You slow down. Your breathing deepens. Conversations feel easier and more meaningful. Time stretches in a way that’s hard to explain. And it turns out, these observations and feelings are deeply rooted in how we evolved as humans.​

The Campfire Feeling​

If you’ve ever sat by a fire long enough, you’ve probably felt it.​
Less urgency. Less mental noise. More presence.​
You’re not checking your phone every few minutes. You’re not jumping between tasks. You’re just… there. Present.​
Compare that to a typical evening at home. Bright overhead lights. Screens. Notifications. Constant input. The nervous system rarely gets a chance to fully settle.​
A campfire seems to flip a switch.​

Firelight and the Nervous System​

Stories That Heal Podcast​
Tune in to our newest episode of the Radical Remission Project's “Stories That Heal” podcast featuring Karen Taylor, Stage 4 Endometrial Cancer Thriver.​
In 2016 at age 55, Karen was fit, but stressed with a very demanding job, after going through a difficult divorce a few years earlier. She started to experience heavy bleeding and after a few months of investigation and finally a biopsy, she was told she had stage 3C Clear Cell endometrial cancer. Clear Cell is a very rare and extremely aggressive cancer, so she felt both hopeless and helpless.

Karen knew treatment was limited as Clear Cell doesn’t really respond to chemotherapy, so she decided to try everything she could. She had extensive pelvic surgery, some chemotherapy, 42 rounds of radiotherapy and brachytherapy but despite it all, 6 months later, the disease had spread to her lungs. It was then she decided that she would be among the 6% who survived longer than 5 years with this diagnosis and began to do her research. That included reading Radical Remission, which gave her so much HOPE. Listen to this episode to learn how Karen has been NED since 2022.​

It’s time for a reality check.
Not all “good” habits actually work well together.
You can be doing a lot right on paper,, but if those inputs don’t align, they can start interfering with each other.
Here’s some classic examples
  • Trying to push productivity while your system is exhausted
  • Stacking intense workouts on top of high stress
  • Focusing on output without giving your body space to recover
Individually, none of these are bad. But together? They create friction.
If you make every wellness choice in isolation instead of looking at how things interact, your body pays the price.
That’s also why I thought this was worth sharing.​
The Ultimate Healing Summit is a free 7-day online event that looks at health more holistically. How your nervous system, stress levels, and internal state all connect. You’ll hear from people like Dan Siegel and Tara Brach, who use this systems-level perspective to help thousands.
It’s less about adding more habits…
and more about making sure the ones you have aren’t working against each other.
So thankful that you're making an investment in your health, your life and yourself.
Because health means everything,​

STOP THE 2026 FARM BILL

Farm Bill Would Enable Factory Farm Cruelty and Foreign Control​

Hidden in the 2026 Farm Bill is Section 12006—a provision that would wipe out animal welfare laws in 15 states overnight.

Laws that voters passed by wide margins to ban the cruelest factory farm practices: pregnant pigs crammed in cages so small they can’t turn around, chickens packed into wire battery cages, calves confined in veal crates.

But Section 12006 goes further. It would block states from passing any new animal welfare laws, creating a race to the bottom that undoes over a decade of progress. Who benefits? Foreign corporations like China’s Smithfield and Brazil’s JBS that control our meat production and don’t want to follow our animal welfare standards.

This isn’t just about animal cruelty—it’s about who gets to decide how our food is produced. Section 12006 hands that power to foreign corporations while stripping it away from American voters and states.

TAKE ACTION: Stop the 2026 House Farm Bill, Including Section 12006 that Strikes Down Animal Welfare Laws!

HEALTHY LIVING

The Plastic Detox Review – A Film So Terrifying You Will Want To Change Your Life Immediately​

Jack Seale, The Guardian:

“Get up, after a restless sleep. Shower, using products that contain plastic and are in plastic containers. Fix your hair and deodorise your body using sprays smoothed by plastics, before putting on clothes woven from synthetic (plastic) fibres, picking up your plastic phone and heading out, sipping water from a plastic bottle. Chew plastic gum. Buy a snack wrapped in plastic and receive a receipt printed on plastic-covered paper. Come home, take food out of its plastic packaging, cook it with plastic utensils, then store the leftovers in plastic tubs and clean up with detergents that contain plastics and come in plastic bottles. Clean your teeth with a plastic toothbrush and plastic-infused toothpaste. Go to bed.

The list of ways in which humanity is committing species suicide may be long and growing, but The Plastic Detox is here to suggest that room should be found for the overwhelmingly widespread use of petrochemical-derived plastics.


That’s the main concern of this documentary’s protagonist, epidemiologist Shanna Swan, whose 2021 book Count Down claimed that chemicals in plastic are a factor in falling sperm counts. Swan, a vibrantly bustling grandmother of six and great-grandmother of a precious one, hooks us in with an experiment flavoured by reality TV. Visiting Florida, California, and Idaho, she finds six couples who are struggling to conceive, and challenges them to live for three months with their exposure to plastics dramatically reduced.”



After all this doom, Swan’s final visits to the six couples reward us with happy tears: her admittedly small-sample experiment has produced startling results, including some that go beyond being pregnant or not

MENTAL HEALTH

Dusking: The Dutch Twilight Ritual Helping People Slow Down​

by Emily-Ann Elliott, BBC:

“Welcoming dusk is a meaningful ritual in many cultures. In Japan, the yūyake song observes twilight. The Balinese tradition of matahari terbenam marks a moment of sunset contemplation; while in Sweden, the concept of kvällsro reflects the peaceful calm of evening. For writer and night-sky enthusiast Marjolijn van Heemstra, the Dutch custom of ‘dusking’ — pausing to watch the day fade into darkness — is about restoring attention to the world around us.

‘In many places we have a crisis of attention,’ she says. ‘People have a lot of problems focusing on things because there’s so much happening at once. But the crisis is much bigger for the world around us. If you don’t know a tree, even if it’s in front of your house, because you never take the time to look at it, you don’t mind it being cut. So, it’s about seeing things and trying to establish a relationship with them and then maybe caring for them.'”

Revived by a Dutch writer, the simple ritual of “dusking” – quietly watching the transition from day to night – is spreading beyond the Netherlands as a way to reconnect with the natural world

U.S. Approval of GMO Wheat Threatens Farmer Livelihoods and Public Health​

by Sustainable Pulse:

“A new report from Friends of the Earth raises alarm over the U.S. government’s recent approval of HB4 genetically engineered (GMO) wheat, warning that it could pose serious risks to public health, the environment, and U.S. farmers’ livelihoods, while offering no proven benefit.

The approval of HB4 wheat marks a critical turning point: after decades of public opposition and trade concerns that kept GMO wheat off U.S. fields, consumers now face the prospect of herbicide-tolerant wheat entering the food system. However, it is not currently being grown commercially in the U.S. Friends of the Earth is calling on companies and consumers to reject HB4 GMO wheat before it enters the market.

Developed by the Argentine biotechnology firm Bioceres Crop Solutions, HB4 wheat is engineered to tolerate the toxic herbicide glufosinate ammonium. Glufosinate is banned in the European Union because it poses risks to human health. It is also linked to negative impacts on soil and ecosystem health.

Read why companies and consumers should reject genetically engineered wheat and support proven, sustainable solutions. Organic farming and traditional breeding protect climate, biodiversity, and food security — without toxic trade-offs.

NEW BOOK

When the Forest Breathes: Suzanne Simard on Regeneration and Relationship​

Bioneers:

“Forests are not collections of individual trees. They are living communities shaped by cooperation, memory, and cycles of renewal that stretch across generations.

In her new book, When the Forest Breathes, forest ecologist Suzanne Simard deepens the groundbreaking work that transformed our understanding of forest ecosystems. Expanding on the research she first brought to wide public attention in Finding the Mother Tree, Simard offers both a scientific and personal vision for how forests regenerate and what is lost when we disrupt the relationships that sustain them.

Drawing from decades of research, as well as close collaboration with Indigenous communities whose stewardship practices long recognized forest interdependence, Simard challenges the industrial model of forestry that treats trees as isolated competitors. Instead, she reveals a dynamic system in which older trees support younger ones, nutrients and information move through underground fungal networks, and kinship influences growth, resilience, and survival.”

At a moment when wildfires, drought, and extractive practices threaten forests worldwide, this passage underscores the book’s central insight: that resilience is rooted in relationship

NEW STUDY

One Exposure. Twenty Generations Later, the Damage Is Still Unfolding.​

Pamela Ferdinand, U.S. Right to Know (USRTK):

“A single exposure to a toxic agricultural fungicide during pregnancy can echo through 20 generations — with inherited disease risks from kidney disease to infertility not fading, but worsening over time, according to groundbreaking research published Tuesday.

The study, which appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, tracked rats whose ancestors were exposed in the womb to vinclozolin, a fungicide once widely sprayed on turf grass and fruits and vegetables such as strawberries, raspberries, lettuce, and grapes, including wine grapes. Researchers found that chemical changes that regulate how genes are switched on or off in developing embryos and throughout life — known as epigenetics, or ‘epimutations’ — remained altered in sperm 23 generations later.

Later generations showed more severe disease, declining fertility, and lethal birth complications than earlier ones. In some generations, mothers and entire litters died during childbirth. Just as striking, researchers also found a small number of rare DNA mutations.”

The study also underscores a regulatory blind spot, since traditional toxicology focuses on direct toxicity and genetic mutations

Undigested Fruit Sugar Is Linked To Increased Anxiety and Inflammation​

by Karina Petrova, PsyPost:

“A recent study published in the journal Brain Behavior and Immunity reveals that an inability to properly digest fruit sugar is linked to increased anxiety and body-wide inflammation. The research suggests that unabsorbed fructose alters the community of bacteria in the digestive tract, which then triggers immune responses that can affect the brain.

These discoveries offer new insights into how our modern, sugar-heavy diets might be influencing our mental health.
The human digestive system relies on specific transport proteins to absorb fructose into the bloodstream. Think of these transporters as specialized doorways lining the small intestine. These doorways can only let a limited amount of sugar through at one time.

When someone consumes more fructose than their intestinal doorways can handle, the excess sugar continues moving down the digestive tract. It eventually spills into the large intestine. This condition is known as fructose malabsorption.”

The results showed that sixty percent of the volunteers had fructose malabsorption

Long Overlooked as Crucial to Life, Fungi Start to Get Their Due​

Jim Robbins, Yale Environment 360:

“Fungi create soil, sequester vast amounts of carbon, and contribute $55 trillion to the global economy, but knowledge about them is scarce. Now, mycologists are pushing to get the international scientific community to recognize fungi on the same level as plants and animals.


Mycologists refer to fungi as ecosystem engineers because they perform essential roles. Approximately 80 percent of terrestrial plant species partner with fungi, according to a number of studies. Ectomycorrizal fungi, for example, form a dense, protective sheath around the root tips of trees, including oaks, beeches, and pines.

It’s a symbiotic relationship: The fungus provides the tree with nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen, from the soil, in exchange for carbohydrates produced by the trees through photosynthesis. Fungi increase the surface area of trees’ root systems, allowing them to live in nutrient-poor or even toxic conditions.”


Fungi are getting a good deal more attention in some quarters these days as scientists learn more about — and publicize — their role

Multivitamins Improve Memory

By Dr. David Brownstein, M.D., writes:


In The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, scientists reported the results from two studies that looked at the effects of multivitamin supplements on cognitive function. Compared to a placebo, a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement was associated with significant improvement in memory recall at both one year and three years of follow-up.

The authors concluded, “We estimated that the effect of the multivitamin intervention improved memory performance above placebo by the equivalent of 3.1 years of age-related memory change.”

Special: Doctor: All Multivitamins Are Not the Same

Why would a simple multivitamin/mineral supplement result in improved memory performance?

Mostly because Americans are so deficient of basic nutrients that any increase can result in a dramatic improvement.

Over the last 50 years, medical research has reported declining nutrient levels in the U.S. population. We have suffered from that decline with more chronic disease.

This can be reversed by adopting a holistic lifestyle that includes eating unrefined, healthy food. Supplementing with a good multivitamin can also provide positive results.

Understanding Why Viral Illness Lasts Longer and When Antibiotics Are Actually Needed​

On this week's episode of With the Wind, Dr. Paul is joined by his co-author and trusted partner DeeDee Hoover (J.A.M. — Just a Mom) to address the most frequently asked questions parents are bringing to Kids First 4Ever platforms right now. Rather than an interview format, DeeDee takes the reins as co-host to ask Dr. Paul the real health questions families are asking this winter—creating a practical, education-focused conversation grounded in clinical experience and parental reality.​
Parents across the community have been reporting the same concern: children are sick for 6-8 weeks straight with colds, flus, and viral illnesses that seem to refuse to end. Why is this happening? Why are unvaccinated children also getting sick? And when a pediatrician recommends antibiotics, is that recommendation actually necessary? In this episode, Dr. Paul walks through the convergence of multiple infections happening simultaneously at elevated frequency this season—flu, RSV, pertussis, COVID, and common colds stacking on top of each other to create the perception (and sometimes the reality) of months of continuous illness. The conversation also addresses the important distinction between viral and bacterial infections, and why antibiotics simply don't work against viruses.​

"You don't need antibiotics for viruses. Why? Because they don't work. Do nothing to reduce viral infections." — Dr. Paul Thomas​

In This Episode, Dr. Paul discusses:​

• Why colds, flus, and viruses are lasting longer this winter (convergence of multiple infections)​
• How RSV, pertussis, and other pathogens differ in duration and persistence​
• Secondary infections: can a weakened immune system make children more susceptible to catching additional illnesses​
• The difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated children's illness frequency and recovery patterns​
• Why most respiratory symptoms are viral, not bacterial​
• The ineffectiveness of antibiotics for viral infections and when they are actually necessary​
• Parental decision-making and informed conversations with pediatricians​

Dear Jimi,

GDtoxSel was formulated to offer a solid companion to ImmunoPCTN and address all the pathways nutritionally necessary to help men live well after a diagnosis of prostate cancer. In my clinical experience, there are four biological pathways to address when dealing with prostate cancer: lower chronic inflammation, boost immune system function, reduce Oxidative Stress, and support the detoxification process.

Oxidative Stress and support the detoxification process. Oxidative Stress ("OS") occurs when the number of free radicals in the body exceeds its pool of available antioxidants to neutralize them. OS is involved in over 100 diseases, as their cause or consequence includes massive cell damage that can result in cellular mutations, tissue breakdown, and weakened immunity. OS results from an increased generation of free radicals or reduced physiological activity of antioxidant defenses against free radicals. The degree of OS experienced by the cell will be a function of the free radical activity balanced with the available antioxidants ready to scavenge them.

What are free radicals?



They are volatile molecules that interact quickly and aggressively with other molecules in our bodies to create abnormal cells. Free radicals are not always a problem as they are made from the normal metabolism of food and are a byproduct of detoxification. Although free radicals have valuable bodily functions under controlled conditions, they are extremely unstable molecules that can damage cells if uncontrolled. Also, the production of free radicals increases with age – and many diseases, including prostate cancer, come with aging. Free radicals damage cells in various ways, penetrating the DNA and damaging its "blueprint" so the cell will reproduce uncontrollably. The unfortunate result of too many free radicals in our body is accelerated aging and the development of many diseases, including cancer and heart disease.

What are Antioxidants, and how do they work?



An antioxidant is a molecule that helps protect cells from the damaging effects of free radicals. Antioxidants scavenge free radicals and stabilize the unstable free radicals by giving them the electrons they need to "behave" and act as normal cells. The body should readily absorb an ideal antioxidant, prevent or quench free radical formation or cling, and dispose of metals to keep a prooxidant/antioxidant balance. Unfortunately, antioxidants are usually consumed or used up in this process—they sacrifice themselves to keep a cell healthy. That's why constant antioxidants consumed from food and nutraceutical supplements are essential. The most notable antioxidants that offer protection are vitamins A, E, and C, glutathione, bioflavonoids, selenium, zinc, and various phytochemicals from herbs and foods. Green tea, for example, is rich in polyphenols—powerful antioxidants that help fight cancer.


Where do free radicals come from?



Free radicals develop from the normal metabolism of food and during the detoxification of drugs, both pharmaceutical and recreational, preservatives in processed foods, alcohol, cigarette smoke, chlorinated drinking water, pesticides, radiation, cleaning fluids, heavy metals such as cadmium and lead, and assorted chemicals such as solvent traces found in processed foods and other environmental toxins.

Three Ways to Avoid Oxidative Stress from Free Radicals in the body?



The good news is we can avoid excess OS from free radicals in three ways:



● Reduce exposure to as many environmental toxins as possible. No matter how careful we are, we cannot avoid endogenous and exogenous free radical formation due to normal metabolism and exposure to environmental oxidants. It is impossible to avoid all of them, but you can abstain from cigarette smoking, lower your alcohol intake, and eat organic food free of pesticides.



● Eat foods recommended on the XY Wellness Diet, which are filled with antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables. For example, all berries, green leafy vegetables, and green tea contain plenty of balanced antioxidants.



● Take the right combination of nutraceutical supplements balanced in key antioxidants. Antioxidants work best in combination. Although there is value in supplementing with extra amounts of one or two antioxidants, better results are always obtained when a "cocktail" is administered that include vitamin D, C, and E, selenium, zinc, and alpha lipoic acid. Antioxidants tend to have a more synergistic effect on the body when consuming a variety of kinds compared to single vitamins.

How GDtoxSel Protects You from Progression of Aberrant Cells?



GDtoxsel was carefully formulated to balance nutrients to combat oxidative stress and promote detoxification. This formula works best when taken with ImmunoPCTN as it contains a balanced amount of antioxidants, that includes vitamin C, vitamin E (high gamma mixed tocopherol), zinc, selenium (from selenized yeast), and alpha lipoic acid to protect cellular DNA and the mitochondria from oxidative damage, plus milk thistle, Broccoli seed extract (1% glucoraphanin), reduced l-glutathione and Schisandra Chinensis fruit extract (4:1) to support liver health and key botanicals to support detoxification of unwanted environmental toxins.

Closing Thoughts



Some oxidative stress is essential for normal bodily function. Still, due to environmental exposure to unwanted chemicals, a suboptimal diet, and normal metabolism, there is often an imbalance between antioxidants and prooxidants. Eating food rich in antioxidants is the best approach to combat OS. However, even our best diets may not be good enough as the soil where much of our produce comes from is nutritionally depleted, making targeted dietary supplements essential. By keeping your immune system strong, lowering inflammation, swiftly ridding the body of environmental toxins through a healthy detoxification system, and combating free radicals, you can create a microenvironment hostile to prostate cancer. ImmunoPCTN and GDtoxSel are the one-two punch to hit all those areas. As always, let us know how we can help.



Much Love!

Hello ,

Artichokes are one of my favorite springtime treats and peak season runs from March through May, so now is the perfect time to start enjoying them.

They're a little more effort than your average vegetable, but absolutely worth it.

And when it comes to hormone health, they are one of the most powerful vegetables you can add to your plate.

Here's why your hormones love them:

🌿 Loaded with antioxidants and phytonutrients — help reduce inflammation and protect against disease

🌿 Rich in inulin fiber — supports gut health, strengthens immunity and helps carry excess hormones out of the body

🌿 Help normalize blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity — so important for hormone balance

🌿 Support liver detoxification — helping your body process and clear excess hormones naturally

This week's recipe is simple and so satisfying, steamed artichokes with a creamy chive and caper dipping sauce.



mail
Steamed Artichokes with Chive and Caper Dipping Sauce Serves 8

Ingredients:

  • 8 artichokes
  • 1 lemon

Directions:

  1. Fit a large pot with a steamer basket and fill with water until about 1 inch below the basket. Cover and bring to a boil.
  2. Rinse each artichoke under cold water and peel off any leaves on the stem.
  3. Trim the tops of the leaves to remove pointy tips, stopping when leaves become difficult to separate.
  4. Cut off the bottom of the stem, leaving about 1 to 1½ inches.
  5. Peel the outer layer of the stem with a vegetable peeler. Rub with lemon.
  6. Cut off the top ½ to 1 inch of the artichoke. Rub with lemon.
  7. Cut the artichoke in half from stem to top. Rub the cut area with lemon.
  8. Scoop out the fuzzy choke from the center and rinse under cold water. Rub with lemon.
  9. Reduce boiling water to a simmer. Place artichokes cut side down in the steamer basket.
  10. Cover and steam for 10–12 minutes, until a paring knife easily pierces the stem.

Chive and Caper Dipping Sauce

  • ¼ cup good-quality mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped drained capers
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
Mix together and enjoy alongside your steamed artichokes.

Artichokes also make a wonderful addition to the grill, one of my favorite ways to enjoy them as the weather warms up!

I hope you get to enjoy some this season.

Let me know if you make them! 💛

Mammograms May Reveal Heart Disease Risk

By Tricia Cooney Bresnahan

Mammograms are widely used to detect breast cancer, but new research suggests they could also help identify women at risk for heart disease — with the help of artificial intelligence.

A study published in the European Heart Journal examined more than 120,000 mammograms and found that AI can analyze routine mammogram images to detect calcium buildup in breast arteries. This calcification may signal an increased risk of heart disease and future heart attacks.

Editor’s Note: Discover Your Risk for Heart Disease in Minutes With This Simple Test – Click Here

Experts say the technology could turn a standard breast cancer screening into what some are calling a “two-for-one” health check.

Cardiologist Dr. Chauncey Crandall, director of preventive medicine at the Palm Beach Cardiovascular Clinic in Florida and author of The Simple Heart Cure says the findings are promising and could help identify heart disease risk much earlier.

Special: Dr. Crandall Saved His Own Heart With This

“Well, Bianca, I’m excited about this study,” Crandall told Newsmax’s “Bianca Across the Nation.” “And really it’s a breakthrough because we know that women mostly start their mammograms at age 40. And now we can double down on this test looking for calcification within the arteries of the breast.”

Doctors have occasionally noted these calcium deposits on mammograms in the past, but they were not typically used as a marker for heart disease risk. New AI tools may change that.

Editor’s Note: Stop Living in Fear of a Deadly Heart Attack Undo Years of Damage...

“We’ve never really done that before,” Crandall said. “We’ve mentioned it before, but now we know out of this European heart study through Mayo Clinic and Emory Clinic that if you have calcification within the arteries of the breast, you are at increased risk for heart disease.”

Because many women begin routine mammogram screenings at age 40, the technology could offer doctors an early warning sign decades before symptoms of cardiovascular disease appear.

Special: 5 Signs You'll Get Cancer and How to Stop It! Read More Here . . .

“And this testing can start early at age 40, when most women start their mammograms,” said Crandall, editor of the popular newsletter Dr. Crandall's Heart Health Report.

“We can follow through and we can start initiating other studies to find out if there truly is heart disease.”

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death among women in the United States. Early detection of risk factors — such as artery calcification — could allow doctors to recommend lifestyle changes, medications, or additional testing before serious problems develop.

Crandall says the findings highlight how artificial intelligence may transform preventive medicine.

“So this is a breakthrough study and we need to continue working in this direction with artificial intelligence to help us out with these findings,” he said.

The research may also encourage more women to stay up to date with recommended mammogram screenings, which already play a crucial role in detecting breast cancer early.

If the technology becomes widely adopted, mammograms could soon serve a dual purpose — helping doctors detect both breast cancer and early signs of heart disease.

But how do you support a body under siege…

without becoming overwhelmed by the "inflammatory chaos" of the stress yourself?

There is a tactical, heart-centered compass for this journey…

And I want you to know about it today.
