Summer colds have the same symptoms as winter colds—runny nose, cough, sneezing, fever, and aches—but can feel worse due to heat and humidity. Rest and hydration are key. Use saline rinses, humidifiers, and OTC meds as needed. Stay cool, drink fluids, and avoid dehydration. Summer colds usually clear in a week but consult a doctor for high fever.

Apple cider vinegar (ACV), especially raw and unfiltered with “the mother,” contains enzymes and probiotics like Acetobacter and Lactobacillus. While shelf-stable ACV may lose some live bacteria over time, it still offers digestive benefits through prebiotics like pectin. ACV supports gut health, produces short-chain fatty acids, slows carb digestion, and may help lower cholesterol.

🫁 Total Lung Capacity (TLC) is about 6L in healthy adults and varies by age, gender, body type, and ethnicity. Aging and conditions like COPD, obesity, or a sedentary lifestyle can reduce lung function. Keep lungs healthy by quitting smoking, eating antioxidant-rich foods, exercising, and purifying your indoor air. Try the Wim Hof Breathing Method for better focus—just practice safely and gently.

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles found in air, water, food, and even the human body. They're harmful to health and the environment. Dr. Anthony Jay of the Mayo Clinic explains how microplastics may contribute to heart disease and hormone disruption, and offers strategies to reduce exposure and detox the body in about six months. Always consult a doctor before making health changes.

This video discusses how the brain functions at an optimal state and the 5 neurotransmitters responsible for mood and optimal brain function. This video also looks into the worst foods people are eating every day that destroys brain function and lead to common mental illnesses like dementia, Alzheimer’s, anxiety, and depression. Role of Ketogenic and Carnivore Diets, their impact on mental illness and brain disease, namely dementia, depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disease

This post explores how metabolic damage and inflammation—fueled by harmful seed oils—drive chronic diseases like autoimmunity, diabetes, and cancer. Dr. Cate Shanahan highlights the dangers of refined polyunsaturated seed oils (the “Hateful Eight”) found in processed foods, which promote inflammation and disrupt metabolism. She advocates returning to traditional, stable fats like butter, ghee, and olive oil to restore health and immunity.

The skincare industry, while promoting beauty and wellness, often harms consumers through the use of toxic chemicals, hormone disruptors, and microplastics in everyday products. Many formulas prioritize profit over health, leading to long-term skin damage, allergic reactions, and even systemic effects on the body. A lack of transparency and regulation allows harmful ingredients to persist in products marketed as “clean” or “natural.”

Even if you eat clean and exercise, hidden toxins in fragrances could be sabotaging your health and waistline. Synthetic scents often contain phthalates and other chemicals linked to obesity, hormone disruption, and addiction-like effects. Marketed as "natural," these perfumes may be affecting your metabolism, emotional state, and even increasing cancer risk—all while remaining largely unregulated and hidden under the label “fragrance.”

Phthalates, endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in many products, are linked to serious health issues like cancer, infertility, and impaired brain development. Black and Latinx women, especially hairstylists, face higher exposure due to frequent use of hair products like relaxers. A recent study found phthalate levels 10 times higher in these workers than in office staff. Poor regulation and hidden ingredients in salon products worsen the risk, especially during pregnancy.

A 2021 George Washington University study found toxic chemicals, including phthalates and plasticizers, in 81–86% of fast food items from major U.S. chains like McDonald’s and Taco Bell. These chemicals, linked to hormonal, reproductive, and behavioral issues, likely come from food handling gloves and packaging. Meaty items had the highest levels, while cheese pizza had the lowest. Home-cooked meals may reduce exposure.

Phthalates (pronounced puh-lates) are a group of chemicals used in hundreds of products. They are typically used to make polyvinyl...

Salt has shaped human history—from ancient agriculture to global trade. Vital for survival, salt preserved food and sustained early settlements. Its value sparked myths, innovation, and commerce. This video explores salt’s origins, its role in civilization, and enduring cultural impact, including idioms like “worth your salt” and “rub salt into a wound.” Salt remains more than seasoning—it's a story of survival, economy, and language.

🧂 The WHO’s “Less Salt” campaign lacks evidence. Both sea and table salt contain vital sodium—essential for life. Despite fear-based guidelines, no study proves salt causes heart disease or high blood pressure. In fact, low salt may increase heart attack risk. The real problem? Ultra-processed foods—not salt. Eat real food, balance sodium and potassium, and don’t fear salt.

Are you eating enough salt to stay insulin-sensitive? Dietary salt is too often viewed as something to avoid, but could eating too little salt actually make your metabolic problems worse? You need minimum 4700mg of potassium and 2300mg of sodium daily!

Tennessee has passed a landmark bill banning airborne chemical dispersion, including geoengineering practices like cloud seeding. This article exposes the environmental and health impacts of atmospheric spraying, highlights soil sample findings, and calls for nationwide prohibition. It's time to protect our skies, our soil, and our future.

Something we all need to be aware of. Santa Ana River Watershed Weather Modification Pilot Program is the actual "cloud seeding program."...

Spring dandelions are vital for the ecosystem, aiding soil health with deep taproots and providing essential early food for bees and pollinators. Their greens are rich in vitamins, minerals, and plant protein, supporting liver, bone, and immune health. Avoid spraying them—harvest safely for teas, salads, or steamed dishes. Let dandelions thrive to support nature and your health.

Orange is the color of optimism. One of the best ways to soak up the spectacular colors and boost your spirits this spring is by seeking...

Exercise triggers the release of irisin, a natural hormone that may help convert white fat to calorie-burning brown fat, improving metabolism and lowering diabetes risk. Brown fat burns energy, while white fat stores it. Cold exposure, genetic factors, and irisin may promote this fat transformation. Increasing brown fat could be a breakthrough for weight loss and metabolic health.
