You can help stop global warming with the coffee you drink each day. Making a change in what you purchase can impact climate change by sending a message to big corporate farmers that we as consumers are not on board with farming practices that destroy rainforests and alter biodiversity in some of the most beautiful places on earth. Check your products for the regenerative farming seal and shop at local regenerative farms. You can learn about this type of farming by watching a fantastic documentary, and you can check a list of regenerative farmed products at a website called “Kiss the Ground”. By the way, they are hiring if you are looking for a wonderful company to work for with an ethical focus and purpose.

Chronic stress can manifest itself in so many physical ways. Patients seek medication to heal these issues when often a patient can heal themselves by incorporating lifestyle changes, prime among these are sleep and stress management. What can you change in your life to minimize your stress ? Don’t wait to make the change. Health is the most valuable commodity you can obtain and you are in control.

She held the biopsy gun right at the lesion. Her tech said, "Dr. Tiger, you're right there." She said okay. Then she waited for her hands to come back.

Robin Tiger, MD is a radiologist and physician coach.

What her tech did not know was that the numbness in her hands had been showing up for months, along with migraines, vertigo, tinnitus, reflux, racing thoughts that had no name in any chart. Every specialist gave her a different pill for a different symptom. The labs were negative. The imaging was negative. She kept going to work and reading films and doing biopsies and going home to her kids and getting up the next day and doing it again.

Her father had died when she was seven years old. By the time Robin was 58, she had lived twice as long as he ever had.

The turning point was not a medication. It was the night she looked at her own kids and thought, I do not want this for you. What happened to me cannot happen to you.

She started outside the box of what she had been taught in medical school. Up to 90 percent of the symptoms she was carrying, the literature now says, are downstream of chronic stress. So she learned how to breathe in ways that bring the nervous system back into balance. She rebuilt her plate around plants. She moved her body for the parts of her brain that regulate mood, not just for cardio numbers. She protected sleep like medicine. She rebuilt the connections with the people in her life that the work had quietly eroded.

The paresthesias went away. The migraines went away. The racing thoughts went away.

Robin put it this way:

"Don't die with your dreams inside of you."

Eating healthy is not about depriving yourself of food, but rather look at it as an abundance of colors, textures, and flavors not available in packaged and processed foods. When we focus more on adding 3 - 6 servings of fruits and vegetables daily we don’t feel deprived or hungry. The added fiber helps with appetite suppression and the various colors or phytonutrients keep our brain healthy .

The use of Metformin in Personalized Medicine for Longevity and Cancer Prevention ~ its not just for diabetes.
Human studies are currently examining the effect of metformin (a medication derived from Goat’s Rue or Galega officionalis) on antiaging and cancer prevention. Many studies have previously shown that patients with diabetes using this medication live longer and studies in other species demonstrate longevity. This effect is likely due to epigenetic canges in the SIRT 1 gene and the microbiome which incidently alters the action on the GLP1 receptor to promote weight loss. Not all individuals respond to metformin and part of the research will be to evaluate what make individuals different in their response and lack there of. If your soctor recommends metformin , many potential benefits exist orher than glucose control and remember its early herbal origin. This help many patients feel better about its use.

Lithium Orotate in doses of 3-5 mg daily may help protect from dementia. Dr James Greeenblatt, a psychiatrist, has long been an advocate of Lithium for better brain health including prevention of anxiety, depression, ADD, and OCD. Lithium Orotate is a trace mineral found in the soil and our water supply that when is sparse has been shown to be associated with more aggressive crimes, murders and suicides. While studies are ongoing, this is a trace mineral much different than lithium carbonate used in bipolar disorder.
