We’ve spoken a lot on our stomach and small intestine, and the issues we face there.

Now we’re going to our lower intestine, our colon, where a colony of some hundred trillion bacteria live. And they have more to do with our overall health, calmness of mind, nerve function, ability to sleep, ability to burn fat and build muscle, and even our hormones than you might think.

Aging is a natural process. 

Over time, as the stem cells we're born with become used up, our body is less and less able to regenerate itself.

 

But then there is premature aging, where this process happens years or decades before it should. And while this is definitely not natural, unfortunately, it’s becoming more and more common.

In this article we're going to cover exactly what is happening to our cells, what is doing this, how this affects aging and what we can do to prevent it.

There is something that accelerates aging by destroying our cells so that our stem cells are needed to produce new cells more often than they should, thus accelerating our biological aging process and making us “old” before our time.

It’s a word you’ve probably heard, but never gotten a real explanation for: Free Radicals.

The ability to fully digest and absorb protein determines our body's ability to maximize muscle gains and fat loss.

It also affects our energy levels, hormones, inflammatory response, and overall health.

Even more, when protein digestion goes, along with it goes the ability to protect ourselves from harmful microorganisms.

Everything hinges on protein.

So, understanding exactly how digestion works and how to keep or get it working properly is very important.

This is Week One where we’ll be starting off with the protocol while at the same time learning more about how the gut functions and what is preventing it from functioning properly so we have a full understanding of what’s happening and why.

This is probably the most important protocol we have released.

Our gut is the chief entrance to our body. And its ability to break down foods into nutrients our cells need to function, to balance our hormones, to provide key neurotransmitters for our brain and nervous system, and to prevent harmful toxins and microorganisms from making it into our bloodstream, is more important than any other aspect of our body to ensure our overall health, ability and longevity.

There is an idea that if we have GERD, heartburn or Acid Reflux this means we have too much stomach acid. 

Due to this, many people take stomach acid neutralizers or acid blockers, known as PPIs, to make their stomach less acidic and calm it down.

However, these only give a temporary solution, and in the long term actually make the problem worse.

This is because it’s not high levels of stomach acid that cause acid reflux and GERD, but the exact opposite — too little stomach acid.

This is another example of only addressing the symptom instead of the cause, allowing the cause to continue on, slowly worsening over time.

As we get older our body goes through a process of gradual changes. You’ve probably heard of this process. It’s called aging. And it’s quite natural.

But then there is accelerated aging, where this process happens years or decades before it should. And while this is definitely not natural, unfortunately, it’s becoming more and more common.

In this article we’re going to dive even deeper into accelerated aging, especially accelerated aging in our 30’s, 40’s, 50’s… and even our 20’s.

We’re going to cover exactly what is happening to our cells, what is doing this, how this affects aging and what we can do to prevent it.

Welcome to the final week of the 30-Day Fat Loss Challenge!

During this challenge we’ve had our ups and downs as cravings came and went and hormones began to balance.

But by Week Four things have evened out or soon will.

Energy levels rise, mood may become more even, sleep becomes more restful, digestion improves, and overall health rises.

And, of course, we’ve lost a significant amount of body fat.

The word “micronutrients” sure sounds nice.

Health marketers use it as a generic catch-all term, but usually without any specific meaning.

It’s easy to have an idea about what it probably is –– small nutrients, right? –– and it’s...

What’s interesting is that food product manufacturers know there are millions of people like you. (We say, “food product” because much of the time what they sell is not really “food” and much more of a “product”)

They know consumers around...

Heart disease is the single greatest killer in America –– nearly 836,546 every year. That works out to about 1 person every 38 seconds, every single minute of every single day. This isn’t something that happens “out there” or to someone else...

Greens supplements are veggies, fruits, grasses, herbs, algae and other nutritional foods that have been dried and turned into powder.

Not all greens supplements are created equal. Look at the prices of similar products. Some cost $20 and some cost $60 or more for 30 servings. Why is this?

Cardiovascular disease is the reigning champion Cause of Death in the western world. Even though the medical world has known for decades that hardening of the arteries is the single greatest predictor of heart failure and stroke, cardiovascular disease remains at the top.
