Every time I open my spice cabinet, I'm reminded of something I love about herbalism.
Turmeric. Garlic. Ginger. Cinnamon.
Most of us think of them as ingredients for dinner, but they've also been trusted as medicines for generations. The more I learn about plants, the more amazed I am by just how much healing can begin in the kitchen.
That's one of the reasons I'm excited about my friend Nick Polizzi's new free docuseries, Healing Kitchen: Let Food Be Thy Medicine.

Who Should Have Glucose Tested?

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.

Blood glucose level refers to the amount of sugar in your blood. Glucose in your blood comes from the foods — primarily carbohydrates — you eat, and is mediated by the hormone insulin, which is released by your pancreas.

Insulin enables the body to use glucose as fuel. Another hormone called glucagon, which stores excess glucose in the liver, allows that glucose to be released if your level falls too low.

Traditionally, blood glucose testing has been conducted primarily for detection of diabetes, which can damage the body years before symptoms occur.

Special: 4 Warning Signs Your Heart May Be Failing — Do You Know Them?

Today, the American Diabetes Association recommends glucose testing begin at age 45, and is especially important for people in these risk groups:

• People who have prediabetes (insulin resistance)

• People who are overweight

• People who have a parent, sibling, or grandparent who developed diabetes

• People who have high cholesterol or triglycerides

• Women who had gestational diabetes when pregnant, or who gave birth to a baby larger than 9 pounds

• People who are physically active less than three times a week

• People who have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

• People who are African American, Latino American, American Indian, or an Alaska Native (some Pacific Islanders and Asian Americans are also at higher risk)

• Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

From ancient Egypt to China, India, and the Mayan and Aztec empires… one idea kept showing up again and again.

Food is medicine.

Hippocrates, the physician still credited as the father of modern medicine, said it himself over two thousand years ago.

Yet somewhere along the way… that idea was forgotten.

Mass production, artificial ingredients, and processed convenience took its place.

But researchers are increasingly circling back to what those ancient traditions understood all along…

…that the quality of what's on your plate may matter more than most of us were ever taught.

That's the idea behind a new docuseries I'm excited to share:

Healing Kitchen: Let Food Be Thy Medicine

It's a complimentary series exploring some of the world's most researched medicinal foods…

And packed with recipes and traditional remedies you can actually use in your own kitchen.

=> Watch the trailer and see what ancient kitchens knew that we forgot

Inside, you'll discover:

  • Plant-based recipes designed to support specific systems in your body

  • How to eat in a way that supports your gut microbiome, not just yourself

  • Traditional kitchen remedies researchers are studying for their role in memory and brain function

  • How vibrant, whole foods may support skin, hair, and the ageing process

  • Plant-based foods researchers are studying in relation to hormone balance

And you'll meet the people behind the movement… farm-to-table chefs, herbalists, wild food foragers, small farmers, and holistic nutritionists.

=> Reserve your spot and discover the medicinal power of food

To your health,

Tomorrow, I am teaching a free webinar for practitioners who work with clients whose hormone and metabolic symptoms refuse to resolve.



The Missing Signal: Why Hormone Symptoms Persist Even When Labs Look Normal



During the training, you will discover:

  • Why hormone production and hormone response are not the same thing
  • Where communication can break down between the bloodstream and the cell
  • How insulin resistance can influence thyroid, leptin, cortisol, sex hormones, appetite, inflammation, and energy
  • Which symptoms, history patterns, and routine labs may offer important clues
  • What to investigate before recommending more of the same hormone or support
Most importantly, you will leave with a framework you can use when a client’s symptoms, treatment history, and lab results do not seem to make sense together.



We begin tomorrow, Wednesday, August 12 at 7pm ET.

The evidence on glyphosate and reproductive health has been building for years. Jeffrey Smith has laid it out in one of the most comprehensive presentations ever given on the subject.
At the Real Truth About Health Conference, Jeffrey walks through the peer-reviewed research linking glyphosate exposure to reproductive harm — including effects that do not stop with the individual exposed but carry forward into subsequent generations. Birth defects. Hormonal disruption. Changes in fetal development. Multigenerational damage to the reproductive system that science is only beginning to fully document.
This is one of the most urgent and underreported dimensions of the glyphosate story. Regulatory safety assessments were never designed to evaluate what happens across generations. The standard 90-day animal study cannot capture effects that show up in grandchildren. And yet glyphosate is present in the bodies of the vast majority of Americans — including pregnant women and developing fetuses.
What Jeffrey presents is not speculation. It is a synthesis of peer-reviewed science that regulators have access to — and have chosen not to act on.
If you are of reproductive age, pregnant, planning a family, or care about the health of future generations — this presentation is essential viewing.

Watch Jeffrey's "Reproductive Harm and Multigenerational Damage" presentation linked below.

Dr. C here.
Today's updates cover an important new study on hormone replacement and a way potatoes may improve your blood sugar. Let's dive in.

HRT and Thyroid Cancer?

You may be seeing headlines linking hormone therapy to thyroid cancer, so here is the balanced version. A large 2026 study of more than 5 million women found a rise in thyroid cancer risk with hormone replacement, especially after 5 years' usage. Earlier research had not found a clear link.

What should you do? Don't think of HRT as 'good' or 'bad.' It is a good way to manage hot flashes, it may offer some health benefits, and it does carry a few risks.

Talk to your doctor about whether you should be on it and for how long. If you have thyroid disease and use hormones, mention it so you can decide together whether any monitoring makes sense for you.

Note from Dr. C

I hope you're having a nice summer. Our big news was that our son just got married. It was a beautiful small wedding that we held at our lake home, and it was wonderful having time to connect with lots of family.

Hang out with me on Facebook if you'd like more personal details! (@dralanchristianson)

Potato Hack

If you have thyroid disease, you have likely been told to cut carbs.

Here is the twist: one kind of starch actually resists digestion, so it steadies blood sugar and feeds your gut without the usual insulin spike. The trick to unlocking it is simple. Boil your potatoes, then cool them before eating.

I walk through the full method, plus what to do if potatoes are not for you, in my latest article.

Happy Tuesday Jimi!
It's no secret that I am passionate about food. The right food can be medicine, supplying nutrients that assist the body in healing, and the wrong food can be poison, degrading our health over time.
The civilizations of ancient Egypt, China, and India - all the way to the Mayan and Aztec empires knew this too. Food doesn't just keep us alive, it brings people together, and helps us thrive and heal.
But in the last century, we've abandoned our most nutritious dietary habits in order to maximize pleasure, convenience, and profit.
We've introduced factory farming and chemical spraying; we've added artificial flavors, additives, preservatives, growth hormones, and antibiotics into our food supply; and we've created new categories of food: processed food, fast food, and junk food.
As a result we have an epidemic of chronic disease caused by our modern diet.
It's time to get back to our roots.
Hippocrates is famous for his wisdom, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food," and today we have overwhelming evidence that the key to optimal health is eating a wide variety of nutrient-dense, whole foods from the earth.
That's why I am so excited about The Healing Kitchen: Let Food Be Thy Medicine. In this docu-series you will learn:
-How to create recipes that target specific health conditions and vital systems within your body
-Ancient kitchen remedies that improve brain function and memory, even in patients with cognitive impairment.
-How eating vibrant foods can improve your skin health, hair health, and overall complexion, supporting the aging process
And so much more!
You’ll learn from an inspiring group of experts, from farm-to-table chefs, herbalists, and wild food foragers, farmers, natural doctors, holistic nutritionists and more!​

To your life and health!
