Stuart Brown, founder of the National Institute for Play, has spent his career studying play and its positive effects on adults. He has consulted for Fortune 500 companies on how to incorporate play into business settings and has used play therapies to help people struggling with…
A little bit of sugar is essential for a healthy body. Does that sound strange? It’s true. We wouldn’t have survived as a species without sugar. Our ancestors relied on sugar-rich ripe fruits in order to survive. It gave them tremendous energy, heart-healthy antioxidant nutrients, and helped them with fat storage, which can mean the difference between living and dying during lean times. Today, however, we’re bombarded with processed sugar.…
You already know that inflammation is bad. Just the word doesn’t sound good. High blood pressure, heart disease, pain, and Alzheimer’s are just a few of the results of the disease of inflammation. Surprisingly, a section of your brain that is partly under your control can turn this process on or head it off.

The University of North Carolina did a study that looked at both pre- and postdiagnosis physical activity of 1735 women between 20 and 74 years old who were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer between…
Is all testosterone created equal? No. And if you have low levels of one type, it can mean a huge increase in risk for fast-growing prostate cancer. The first thing you need to know is there are two types of testosterone — free and bound. Most of the testosterone in the body is tied up by either albumin or a molecule called serum hormone binding globulin (SHBG). Only a small…
A couple of weeks ago I started a series on Adrenal Fatigue. Most likely, you or someone you know is experiencing it right now. But you won’t get help from your conventional medical doctor. You need to know how it may be affecting you right now, what causes it, and how you can treat it — to get your life back. You can catch up on what causes it, here,…
If there were a drug that could improve your eyesight, lower your blood pressure and help you lose weight, it would be the drug of the millennium. You’d never hear the end of the advertising. But you can get all three of those benefits at once. You just don’t hear about this very much because the secret is hidden in a plant compound, which can’t be patented. It’s called chlorogenic…
If you have chronic health problems that doctors can’t solve — things like digestive issues, various mysterious aches and pains, or skin problems that never quite vanish — you’re likely eating something that is punishing your stomach. Giving up grains can sometimes offer a solution. For me, giving up wheat and other grains improved my health immensely while helping me lose weight. It was my first step toward adopting the…
