Highlight the boxes as you go and CELEBRATE your accomplishment!

1. ALMONDS - I’m nuts about nuts and almonds as far as nuts are concerned are hard to beat. They carry the most nutritional bang for your buck when compared to any other nut.
2. QUINOA - This humble seed hails from the Andes. Once considered the “gold of the Incas" quinoa is rich in protein, yes protein, magnesium, manganese and copper. This single grain can aid cardiovascular health as well as calm down muscle spasms and migraines while detoxifying the body as a powerful antioxidant. In all my talks on nutrition I give quinoa honourable mention. Make quinoa your go to “grain”.

This movie appears to expose some of the things that I discuss in all my lectures. The trailer carries a powerful yet simple message, watch it and tell everyone you know Food Matters and help spread the health word.

The following is an example of a healthy day of eating!

Here’s the trick folks! Load all the higher carb, more caloric foods in the beginning part of your day while breaking up even those meals into smaller more “usable” sections. So what I’m saying is EAT MORE (often). START RAISING YOUR STANDARDS and expect more out of the foods you put into you body! YOU ARE WORTH IT.

If you listen to one thing I write about.  If you take one piece of advice, it’s this! The power of creating an alkaline environment in your body can be the difference between poor health and amazing vitality!

The pH of the blood should be 7.63.  An alkaline environment is where cells thrive and have the best potential to regenerate and complete their cycle.  Acid environments, are those created by diets loaded with protein (Atkins, American), highly refined carbohydrates, sugar and processed foods.

So it’s simple acid kills cells and the opposite, alkalinity lets cells grow and do their thing.

So here's the skinny on Diabetes.  Medicine can't cure it! There is no physiological reason to give a type II diabetic (95% of all diabetes) insulin yet it happens every day.  1 out of every 3 Americans have this unnecessary condition.  It is the most easily preventable illness next to heart disease.  Every day I see it in my clinic and every day I see to it that it is controlled and for the most part cured without the use of pharmaceuticals.  Diet and exercise doesn't fail.  Drug companies have marketed so well over the past 50 years and created a subliminal feeling that diet and exercise can fail so that they can generated profits of 7.8 billion dollars a year.

Let's look at a diet schedule for diabetics that can dramatically change blood sugar levels and if combined with the correct supplements can allow the pancreas to regenerate and repair and return to it's innate abilities.
