Sunflower Greens for selenium?
A while ago, I shared about sunflower microgreens as being a surprising source of selenium, so here is one of our favorite salads with 2 ounces of sunflower microgreens added. This is especially good news for raw food enthusiasts who have sensitivities to Brazil nuts, a concentrated source of selenium, as one 5 g Brazil nut has been measured to contain 96 mcg of selenium (174% of the adult RDA for selenium).

Tomato Dressing with Sunflower Microgreen Salad
Image
We think of dressings as being nutritional extra credit, which is why we love to make thick, hearty dressings with raw whole plant foods. If you compare the nutrient content of this salad and dressing to the salad alone from our post from one week ago, you can see the nutrient difference made by the addition of this dressing! And we love the flavor the dressing adds to the salad...

Lemon season is here! We have hundreds of lemons in our front yard right now and so we blended the juice of 2 lemons with the flesh of 2 young coconuts and poured the mixture into cupcake cups lined with mixed walnuts and dates (blended with an S blade in the food processor) as the crust.

Can you make spiralized cucumber noodles out of regular cucumbers from the grocery store in addition to English cucumbers? Yes, absolutely! And you can make spiralized noodles from so many other types of vegetables (and even some fruits too).
Why are spiralized vegetables so great? We love them for the variety, texture, and nutrition they bring to our raw dishes along with fun and novelty.

Pink Fairy Armadillo

The pink fairy armadillo is the smallest armadillo on Earth, and quite possibly the strangest, looking almost like a giant shrimp. It lives in central Argentina, mostly underground in sandy soils. It moves so fast through loose dirt that people call it a “sand swimmer.” It has fur and a soft shell which helps it twist and burrow in tight spaces. Here is a quick overview of the weird parts of its body: meet the pink fairy armadillo.​
What makes it extra interesting is how little is known about them. Sightings are apparently rare, and it is not well researched or tracked in terms of population. That’s why its conservation status is often treated with caution, and why protecting intact sandy habitats matters so much, since we don’t fully know the impact on this exotic creature. For the full deep dive on “what it is, where it lives, what it eats” basics in one place, click into THIS species profile.​

🌏 DEEP DIVE 🌏

mail
Today’s Deep Dive is a guest post from my dear friend Beth Lambert, Founder of Documenting Hope (an organization I’ve worked with for years as a filmmaker, capturing stories of children who have healed from “irreversible” conditions).
Documenting Hope’s newest case report, published in the March issue of Integrative Medicine, A Clinician’s Journal, centered on the use of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet as a therapeutic intervention for a boy diagnosed with autism. The case report chronicles his health history and symptom reversal achieved through intensive nutritional intervention. This paper is part of a growing body of literature that tells a very different story about autism than the one most clinicians were trained to believe. When you look closely at that literature, a consistent pattern emerges. A child once meeting full criteria for autism gradually regains language, connection, and function until, ultimately, those diagnostic criteria are no longer met.​
This recovery is the kind of outcome that continues to be dismissed or classified as a case of misdiagnosis. And yet, this story sits atop a mounting pile of similar case reports as well as an entire library of peer reviewed papers explaining many of the underlying biological and physiological mechanisms that result in the syndrome of symptoms that we label as autism.​
The evidence is clear: autism symptoms, in at least a significant subset of children, can improve dramatically and in some cases fully resolve when underlying medical issues are identified and thoughtfully treated.
As far back as the 1970s, there were published reports of children diagnosed with autism who later no longer met diagnostic criteria. Gajzago and Prior described cases of “recovery” in what was then called Kanner syndrome.[1]Bemporad later documented the adult outcome of a child previously diagnosed with autism who went on to function typically.[2] These early reports were often set aside as anomalies, but they established an important observation: the autism diagnosis could be overcome, at least in some cases.

The Science Behind the Placebo Effect
Healing is often discussed in terms of treatments, supplements, and protocols.

Yet one of the most powerful influences on the body’s internal environment is frequently overlooked...

The mind-body connection.
In our newest blog, we explore the science behind the placebo and nocebo effects, including how belief, stress physiology, emotional wellbeing, and nervous system balance can influence immune function, inflammation, and resilience during a healing journey.

Emerging research in psychoneuroimmunology continues to show that psychological and emotional states are not separate from biological processes, but deeply intertwined with them.

While mindset alone is not a replacement for medical care, cultivating daily mind-body practices can support a more balanced physiological terrain.

Understanding this connection may help you move toward a more empowered and integrative approach to healing.

Read the full blog to learn how your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs may shape your healing environment.​

I hope you've had a chance to watch the first two expert interviews on the broadcasts page:

If you haven't watched them yet, they're both still available. They're setting the foundation for everything you'll discover during the Summit.
Today, I want to share more about the third expert interview, which is now available.
Most people think low energy at 4 pm is just part of life.
Same with craving something sweet after a meal, or slowly gaining weight around the waist while the rest of your body stays the same.
According to Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo, a functional medicine expert and founder of the Institute of Nutritional Endocrinology, these can all be early warning signs of insulin resistance.
And they can show up years, sometimes decades, before a diabetes diagnosis.
They’re also reversible!

Hi Jimi!
I'm excited to share a follow-up interview today with stage IV melanoma survivor Johann Ilgenfritz.

Johann's story is incredible.

In 2011, he had a heart attack, and six months later, he was diagnosed with melanoma. Radiation treatments failed, and Johann's cancer spread; then, doctors told him he had about twelve months to live.

Most people would have accepted that prognosis. Johann didn't.

He started researching diet and lifestyle, and this changed the way he viewed disease. Instead of seeing cancer as the cause, he understood it was a symptom of a body under stress.

Johann radically changed his life and focused on simple foundations: plant-based nutrition, reducing stress, and restoring his health from the inside out.

Over 14 years later, Johann is alive and thriving!

Johann is also the founder of UK Health Radio, a 24-hour health and wellness station with a worldwide audience.

Johann's story is powerful and encouraging... He has so much wisdom to share. Enjoy!

Interview topics include:
-Johann's first melanoma diagnosis and conventional treatment
-Cancer returns with a terminal prognosis
-Discovering hope through research
-The two sides of healing: nutrition and mindset
-The unexpected blessings of a cancer diagnosis
-Johann's new book Reversing Cancer
-The Alkaline Collective community
-The four pillars of healing
-Why every survivor should document their journey
-Practicing gratitude and the sweetness of life
-Morning routines, sunshine, and daily habits
-The importance of community in healing
-The difference between pity and support
-When people want attention instead of help
-The emotional burden of caregiving
-How to be the driver of your healing journey
-And more!​
May you prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers...

Have you been doing everything you can to improve your health, but you feel like you’ve hit a plateau in your healing journey?

Maybe you’ve followed rigorous health plans, adjusted your daily intake, and prioritized your sleep.

Yet, the same fatigue, brain fog, and crippling symptoms still seem to follow you everywhere.

I completely get how frustrating it can be to put in all this work, but still see no real change.

Discover the overlooked shift that can help you finally break through this plateau.


Image displaying Kute Blackson and Boundless Bliss The Bali Breakthrough Experience


I’ve spoken with countless people who have hit this exact wall.

What we often find is that your brain actually requires an “environmental mismatch” to break a deep-seated habit.

When you stay in the same surroundings, your body continues to reinforce the same stress responses, habits, and internal states.

Even with the right nutrition and routines, those patterns can remain locked in place.

Research shows that stepping into a completely different, immersive environment can activate new neural pathways.

This helps your system move out of old patterns and begin forming healthier ones.

Addressing these deeply ingrained patterns requires more than just a new diet or routine.

It requires a structured, supportive environment designed specifically for deep recalibration.

My colleague Kute Blackson designed the Boundless Bliss Bali experience to be exactly that environment.

Dr. Crandall: Digital 'Twin' Hearts Improve Treatment

By Tricia Cooney Bresnahan

A new study suggests that being married may be linked to a lower risk of developing certain cancers.

Researchers at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine’s Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center analyzed more than 4 million cancer cases across 12 states and found that adults who had never married were more likely to be diagnosed with several types of cancer compared to those who were or had been married.

Editor’s Note: Learn About Dr. Crandall’s Heart Supplements

Specifically, men who never married were 70% more likely to develop cancer than married men. And women who never married were 85% more likely to develop cancer than women who were or had been married.

Experts theorize that marriage may reflect healthier behaviors and stronger support systems.

Special: Try Dr. Crandall’s Secret to Healthy Blood Pressure

“I think the takeaway is if you're married, you're going to probably live a longer life than if you're single, because you have a social support system that benefits you in the long run,” cardiologist Dr. Chauncey Crandall told Newsmax’s “Bianca Across the Nation.”

Crandall says having a partner often means built-in encouragement to maintain healthier habits and keep up with medical care.

Editor’s Note: Doctor: 4 Signs Your Heart Is Quietly Failing

“There is something powerful about marriage — having someone that's an advocate in your home for you,” he said. “And that works in both directions, both for men and women,” said Crandall, director of preventive medicine at the Palm Beach Cardiovascular Clinic in Florida

Researchers believe differences in screening rates, smoking, alcohol use, and other lifestyle factors may help explain the link. Married individuals may be more likely to attend routine checkups and follow through on preventive screenings.

Special: Dr. Crandall Saved His Own Heart With This

For women, earlier childbearing — more common among married individuals — may also play a role in reducing the risk of certain cancers, including breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancers, Crandall noted.

Still, experts emphasize that being single does not mean a higher risk is inevitable — but it may require more intentional health habits.

“The biggest thing about being single, we see more alcoholism. We see more isolation, cigarette smoking, and multiple sexual partners. This is one of the biggest drivers of cancer in single people,” explained Crandall, editor of the popular newsletter Dr. Crandall's Heart Health Report.

Crandall stressed the importance of building strong social connections and staying proactive about health for both married and single adults.

Multiple human clinical trials confirm that one common plant compound lowers blood pressure, reduces excess cholesterol, and calms down cellular inflammation—yet most cardiologists have no idea how to use this food as medicine. Discover an overlooked heart protector.

In addition, most healthcare providers fail to mention how your mood is strongly linked to vitamin D levels. In fact, a randomized controlled trial just found something dramatic on MRI scans that reveals how much vitamin D you really need. See what the brain scans revealed.

And finally, a study of 620,000 people found that when you gain weight matters more than how much you gain. This study reveals several alarming truths—especially for younger people. Discover the timing that matters most.

What is Ozone Therapy & How Does it Work?​
Ozone therapy is a clinically used treatment that works by introducing a controlled oxidative signal into the body, prompting its own repair and antioxidant systems to activate.

Backed by more than 4,300 peer-reviewed studies and over 130 years of clinical use, our latest blog explores how ozone supports circulation, mitochondrial function, and long-term resilience through a process known as hormesis.

Ozone therapy has an impressive safety record. The vast majority of adverse events that have been reported in the literature trace back not to the therapy itself but to improper administration, most often by practitioners who lacked adequate training. This distinction matters enormously for patients trying to evaluate whether ozone is right for them and how to find appropriate care.​
