Wellness Coaching – The Benefits of an Alkaline Body
In the early 20th century, the German physician, Dr. Otto H. Warburg investigated the metabolism of tumors and the respiration of cells, particularly cancer cells, and in 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his “discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.” Continue reading
Health Counseling – Getting Your Body Alkaline
In 1931, Dr. Otto H. Warburg investigated the metabolism of tumors and the respiration of cancer cells, and in 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize for his research and findings. Dr. Warburg made it clear in his conclusions that the root cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency, which creates an acidic or toxic state in the human body. Continue reading
Wellness Coaching – The Dangers of a Sugar-Based Diet
It takes about six to eight weeks (depending on the person) to reprogram the body to become accustomed to living on ketones, rather than glucose. When it does, you’ll find that it is well worth the time and effort. Diets that are high in sugar and starch have been shown to cause insulin-resistant problems such as diabetes, hypoglycemia, ADHD, hypothyroidism, irritability, and severe mood swings. Other health related problems from a nutrient-deficient, high starch diet include irritable bowel syndrome, acne, yeast infections, migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, acid reflux, and systemic candida.

Wellness Coaching – Shifting Your Fuel from Sugar to Ketones
When you eliminate sugar and starchy carbohydrates from the diet, the brain begins to shift its source of energy for fuel from glucose to ketones. Ketones are the energy units found in fat. Not only does the brain prefer ketones over sugar for fuel, it operates much more effectively and efficiently on them. As a result, you won’t need to consume as many calories as you did as a carbivore. This allows you to maintain your ideal body weight without having to go on starvation diets. Continue reading
Wellness Coaching – Most Americans are Malnourished
Most people are malnourished. I’m not talking about people living in impoverished, third-world nations either. I’m talking about middle-class Americans. Because their diet consists mainly of starch, sugar, and GMO’s (genetically modified organisms), the body is prevented from the intake of trace minerals, essential fatty acids, and anti-oxidants that it requires to rebuild and repair tissue, and to maintain a slightly alkaline state. Continue reading
Wellness Coaching – Cancer Feeds on Sugar
Approximately 4 billion years ago, before the earth contained an oxygen-based atmosphere, the very first forms of life on earth fed on just two nutrients: sugar and protein. Stored within the DNA of every living organism today lies the memory of this biological fact. The very fist living cells lacked a nucleus (prokaryotic cells) and fed anaerobically on sugars and proteins. Continue reading
Wellness Coaching – Dissolving Depression with an Anti-Candida Diet
By 2020, major depression is expected to be the second-leading cause of disability (the first is ischemic heart disease), according to the Institute of Functional Medicine. Anxiety frequently accompanies depression which are the two most common psychological disorders in the world. Continue reading
Wellness Coaching – Be Candida Free in Six Months
Since the advent of antibiotics nearly a century ago, we’ve been injecting them into our bodies to kill off bacterial infections. Alongside this increased use of antibiotics, American consumers have increased their sugar intake from 20 pounds of sugar per year to about 140 pounds of sugar per year — mainly due to the exponential rise of process foods containing HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). It has been the combination of these two trends that has been the cause for what is known as the “Candida Yeast Syndrome.” Continue reading
Wellness Coaching – Fat is Necessary for the Human Diet
We have been given incorrect knowledge regarding dietary fats by the Food and Drug Administration. Saturated fat has been a huge part of the diet of the homo sapiens species for the last 25,000 years. It’s only been in the last 1/10 of 1% (5000 years) where agriculture has gradually replaced fats with sugars (from complex carbohydrates), that our source of fuel for the body has dramatically shifted.
