I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I spent some time with friends relaxing by the pool and trying to stay cool in this Utah heat. I don't know about where you are, but it's been scorching here!

Anyway, for today's edition of Interesting Food Facts, we’re taking a closer look at two everyday foods that may not be quite what they seem.

Are the Eggs You're Buying Really the Best Choice?

Most eggs sold in the U.S. come from factory-farmed chickens, and the way those chickens are raised—and what they're fed—can have a surprising impact on the nutritional quality of the eggs you eat. Today's article explains the differences between cage-free, organic, pasture-raised, and grain-fed eggs, and what to look for the next time you're at the grocery store.

Episode 487: SCIENCE PLEADS THE 5TH
Today on THE DOWNLOAD!

The fallout from Anthony Fauci's Senate testimony is only growing, and now RFK Jr. has stepped directly into the firestorm. Jefferey Jaxen breaks down Kennedy's fiery clash with CNN's Dana Bash and the corporate media's stunning attempt to defend the same pandemic narrative Americans are increasingly rejecting.

Then, while the public is repeatedly told the war with Iran is nearing an end, developments behind the scenes suggest a far more alarming reality. What is the government preparing for, why should every American between 18 and 42 be paying attention, and why is almost no one connecting the dots?

Hi Jimi,
Pescatarians appear to have the longest life expectancy of any dietary group, according to the ongoing Adventist Health Study.
But fish also accumulate mercury, PCBs, microplastics, and other contaminants. And industrialized fishing is strip-mining the oceans at a rate that may collapse global fish stocks within decades.
So should you eat fish?
Get the fish story
Yours for smart choices,
Ocean Robbins
P.S. If you do eat fish, some choices are far safer and more sustainable than others. And if you want the benefits of omega-3s without the contamination risk, there's a clean plant-based alternative worth knowing about. Here's what you need to know about fish.

CHEMOTHERAPY: FRAUDULENT AND DEADLY?​

"Chemotherapy is a cull, designed by the conspirators and the medical establishment to cut the cost of caring for cancer patients." - Dr. Vernon Coleman​

From carnivore to vegan and everything in between, there’s no shortage of popular diets out there to choose from. So, if you are confused about the best nutritional approach for combating prostate cancer (like so many of my patients just starting out on their journey are), you’re in very good company.



The fact is dietary recommendations for prostate cancer can be tricky and evidence supporting specific guidelines is often hard to find. This is true for several reasons:

  • Complexity of Cancer: Prostate cancer, like all cancers, is a complex disease with multifactorial causes including genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This complexity makes it difficult to isolate the impact of diet alone on cancer progression or prevention.
  • Variability Among Individuals: Individuals react differently to various foods due to genetic differences, underlying health conditions, and even gut microbiota composition. This variability makes it hard to create one-size-fits-all dietary guidelines for prostate cancer patients.
  • Long-term Studies Are Challenging: Researching the effects of diet on prostate cancer requires long-term studies, as cancer development and progression can span many years or even decades. Longitudinal studies are expensive, require a lot of participants, and must account for numerous confounding factors, such as changes in diet, lifestyle, and medical treatments over time.
  • Reliance on Observational Studies: Much of the evidence comes from observational studies, which can suggest associations but cannot prove causation. While these studies are valuable, they can be influenced by various biases, including recall bias (people inaccurately remembering what they ate) and selection bias (the type of individuals who choose to participate in the studies).
  • Conflicting Results: Research on diet and prostate cancer often yields conflicting results, with some studies suggesting certain foods may reduce risk or slow progression, while others find no effect or even potential harm. This inconsistency can be due to differences in study design, population studied, dietary assessment methods, and what is being measured as an outcome.
  • Rapidly Evolving Field: Nutrition science is a rapidly evolving field, with new research findings continually emerging. What is considered a healthy diet today may be modified tomorrow as new evidence comes to light.
  • Simplification for Public Consumption: The media and some health promoters may oversimplify or exaggerate the benefits of certain foods or diets for prostate cancer, leading to confusion and misinformation.
Despite these challenges, there’s enough science and clinical observations to provide clear dietary guidelines to help beat prostate cancer.

In the face of a life-changing diagnosis, one thing that you still have control over is what you put into your body. And when it comes to diet, there are foods that boost your ability to fight disease just as there are foods that actively fuel illness.



In general—and despite what advocates on either side of current dietary trends claim—a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, and low in processed foods, dairy, and red meats can potentially reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer or its progression.



Still, there’s a lot of information out there, and our goal at XY Wellness is to make it simple for you. Our diet guide, Eat Well, Be Well, is designed to do just that. So, if you haven’t done so yet, I encourage you to download your free copy today.

What Are Normal Glucose Levels?

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.

To get an accurate plasma glucose reading, you have to fast for at least eight hours prior to the test. A normal blood glucose level is between 70 mg/dL and 99 mg/dL.

A reading of 100 mg/dL to 125 mg/dL implies prediabetes, while a reading of 126 mg/dL or higher indicates diabetes. Any glucose level over 100 mg/dL is cause for concern, and should be addressed through weight loss and lifestyle changes.

Special: Claim Your Free Diabetes Solution Kit Today!

However, blood sugar can fluctuate, so a second test should be performed. The glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C) test provides an average blood sugar level for the past two to three months.

An A1C level of 6.5 percent or higher on two separate tests indicates that you have diabetes. An A1C between 5.7 percent and 6.4 percent indicates prediabetes. Below 5.7 percent is considered normal.

I can’t stress enough that you don’t need a glucose level approaching diabetes to experience the harmful effects of elevated blood sugar. I’ve seen many people with painful foot problems that are the result of nerve damage from high blood glucose, even though they were never diagnosed with diabetes.

The landscape of chronic illness continues to evolve, bringing new opportunities alongside complex challenges. At Gordon Medical, we're committed to sharing the latest insights and the continuous evolution of treatment paradigms.

Join us as Dr. Parpia sits down with Nathalie Niddam for the upcoming Bioregulators & Peptides Summit for her talk, Healing the Terrain: Bioregulators & Peptides for MCAS and Long COVID.​
Talk Highlights:
  • Why mast cell activation can make patients sensitive to foods, scents, chemicals, hormones, stress, supplements, and even treatments meant to help them.
  • Why gut repair, mast cell stabilization, detox readiness, and nervous system regulation may need to come before stronger peptide or antimicrobial protocols.
  • How carefully sequenced peptides and bioregulators may help complex patients with MCAS, long COVID, chronic infections, and immune dysregulation tolerate deeper healing work.
Why This Matters:

We've worked with peptides for years at Gordon Medical. Long before peptide therapy became a buzzword, Dr. Parpia was at the forefront, recognizing its potential for treating complex chronic illnesses.

For over a decade, she has refined her techniques through extensive research and clinical experience, developing deep expertise in using these powerful molecular tools.

The most important insight remains that no single intervention is a complete solution. Each person with complex chronic illness is unique, and their protocol must be equally unique. Access to peptides and bioregulators expands our ability to create truly personalized approaches.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn from Dr. Parpia's clinical experience. Register for the Bioregulators & Peptides Summit today.​

Join Dr. Nafysa Parpia Professional Masterclass

The Toxic Burden Behind Menopause Symptoms: Heavy Metals, Hormones, and Clinical Cues​
August 21st 12 pm PT | 3 pm ET
Exclusively for healthcare professionals, from health coaches and nutritionists to physicians and advanced practice clinicians.

A woman in her late 40s feels fine, then seemingly overnight develops diffuse pain, brain fog, insomnia, and fatigue. She arrives with a fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue label and a hormone panel that doesn't explain the severity. Dr. Nafysa Parpia sees this pattern constantly.

In this professional masterclass, Dr. Parpia connects it to something most practitioners never think to test for: endogenous contamination.

Presentation Includes:
  • Why estrogen loss drives bone turnover, releasing stored lead and cadmium into the blood
  • Dr. Parpia’s clinical observations of NHANES metals data in correlation to menopausal status, significantly higher blood lead levels
  • CDC/ATSDR toxicant rankings and what high percentile exposure means clinically
  • Common metal exposure sources layered on top of hormone-driven bone loss
  • How lower hormone status independently fuels inflammation and autoimmune risk
  • Genetics, trauma, and diet as factors that heighten hormone-related susceptibility
  • Prevention strategies to support the body through hormonal transition
  • Peptides, bioregulators, and other progressive treatments, including therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), as emerging tools for supporting detoxification strategies, hormone balance and recovery from multi-system illness, including those related to elevated lead body burden and lack of hormone
  • Why "pre-tox" matters before detoxing, especially during hormonal shifts

Help Us Increase Time for Physical Activity in Our Nation’s Schools. Support HR 9952 Today.​

mail
Jimi,​
Across the country, our nation's youth have been spending increasingly less time exercising, while increasingly more schools have been reducing or cutting time for physical activity.​
HR 9952, the Daily Physical Activity for Students in Schools bill, aims to fix this issue. The bill amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to encourage schools to provide at least one hour of physical activity daily, allowing flexibility to integrate it across the curriculum rather than requiring a dedicated block. It promotes evidence-based physical education without imposing mandates on schools. Because this bill promotes healthy practices and development in our nation's youth, MAHA strongly supports it, but we need your help to get it passed. Please send a message to your lawmakers today expressing support for HR 9952.​
The MAHA Action legislative tracker makes emailing your lawmakers simple. Just click the button below, enter your information on the right side of the webpage, and click “Send Message”! It takes less than 1 minute to make a real impact and make your voice heard.​

Bill Summary + Why This Matters:​

BILL SUMMARY​

Daily Physical Activity for Students in Schools​

US HR 9952 amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to encourage local educational agencies to allocate at least one hour of physical activity time during each school day for students. The bill provides flexibility for schools to integrate this activity across the curriculum rather than requiring a single dedicated block of time. It supports evidence-based physical education and movement programs that improve student health outcomes. The legislation does not impose unfunded mandates but encourages schools to prioritize physical wellness as part of their educational mission.​

WHY THIS MATTERS​

Why MAHA™ Supports US HR 9952​

MAHA supports this bill because it advances health freedom by empowering local educational agencies and families to prioritize student physical health and autonomy over sedentary classroom time. The requirement for one hour of daily physical activity directly counters the chronic disease epidemic affecting American children, including obesity and metabolic dysfunction that correlates with processed food consumption in schools. By encouraging movement and physical wellness during the school day, the bill supports preventive health practices that reduce dependence on pharmaceutical interventions. The bill respects local flexibility rather than imposing top-down mandates, allowing communities to design physical activity programs suited to their students' needs. This aligns with MAHA's core commitment to health as a foundation for freedom and prosperity.​

For years, turmeric has been promoted as one of nature's most powerful anti-inflammatory remedies.

But is it really that effective...or has clever marketing gotten ahead of the science?

Tonight at 6:00 PM CDT, I'm going to take you beyond the headlines and into the research.

We'll look at what turmeric actually does inside the body, where the evidence is strong, where the claims fall short, and why the quality of the supplement you choose matters far more than most people realize.

I'll also discuss some important safety concerns that are rarely mentioned... including situations where turmeric may not be the right choice.

If you've ever wondered whether turmeric belongs in your health regimen, I think you'll find tonight's discussion enlightening.

📅 Tonight at 6:00 PM Central

Join me live on YouTube or Facebook.

I look forward to seeing you there.
