Welcome to another episode of Revolution Health Radio. Historically, female hormones have really only been a concern for the medical establishment, at least in women who are menstruating, and particularly for fertility and pregnancy, and maybe the postnatal period. Once a woman is through that phase of life, hormones are not part of the discussion in mainstream medicine.  That has changed a little bit over the past couple of decades. There was certainly interest...

Boost Your Brain Power: The Science Behind Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo biloba, often simply called “ginkgo,” is one of the oldest living tree species on Earth, dating back over 200 million years. This ancient plant has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, particularly in China, where its leaves and seeds have long been valued for their healing properties. Recent statistics suggest that one in three Americans will experience cognitive decline by age 70. Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death, and the number of cases is rising each year. Sadly, conventional treatments for dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other cognitive disorders are ineffective and often have significant adverse effects. Fortunately, several natural compounds have shown promise in protecting the brain and preventing cognitive decline as we age. Ginkgo biloba is one of the most promising candidates....

The Heme Iron Debate: Separating Fact from Fiction

For decades, red meat has been at the center of a contentious debate in nutrition and health. On one side, we have those who claim it’s an essential source of high-quality protein and nutrients. On the other, critics argue that it’s a major contributor to chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease. Initially, these concerns focused on red meat’s cholesterol and saturated fat content. However, as the case against dietary cholesterol and saturated fat has weakened, researchers and advocates of plant-based diets have shifted their focus to a new proposed culprit: heme iron. This form of iron, found predominantly in animal foods and especially abundant in red meat, has become the latest mechanism proposed to explain the purported health risks of red meat consumption. But what’s the...

Welcome to another episode of Revolution Health Radio. It’s an incredibly difficult and trying experience to receive a cancer diagnosis for your child. But that is compounded by the fact that there are very few integrative or holistic options available for treatment.

When you hear the word “curcumin,” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? If you’re like most people, you probably think of its well-known benefits for joint health and inflammation. But what if I told you that this powerful compound might be even more valuable for an organ you can’t see or touch – your brain? As a functional medicine practitioner, I’ve spent years exploring the intricate connections between nutrition and cognitive health. While many of my patients are familiar with curcumin’s effects on musculoskeletal health, few know its potential to support brain function and protect against cognitive decline. Curcumin, the primary bioactive compound in turmeric, has been the subject of extensive research in recent years. Scientists have uncovered a range of impressive neurological benefits, from...
