May 19, 2013 by 1 Comment
arthritis

Arthritis gives about 80 million Americans joint pain every day.

It’s a pernicious condition that also comes with an inconvenient secret:

Nobody really knows how to treat it.

There are a litany of expensive surgeries and procedures you can undergo, and I reckon many of them help, but there’s anything but a one-size-fits-all solution.

The bad news is that I don’t know how to treat it either. Sorry.

The good news is that I’ve drummed up an actionable list of diet changes anyone can take that’ll probably improve the situation.

juicing fiber

I’ve been a life long juicer and irrationally cherish it as a daily habit. We all have our weaknesses. It keeps my energy levels high and gives me a strong “rush” for about 3-4 hours after consumption.

But it does have one fatal flaw: it takes out the fiber. You kind of need that stuff.

So with that said, here are a few easy ways to step around this dilemma and keep yourself going strong.

aspartame

If we excluded everything that might be “bad” for us from our diet the only thing that’d be left is water.

Carbs, fats, protein, sugar, soy, nuts, grains, meat, dairy, eggs, processed food, gluten and whey have all been put through the wringer at one point or another.

But surely they can’t all be lethal or else we wouldn’t be here.

So some of the time our “danger” signals must lead us awry.

And here’s the case for one type of ingredient that’s been unfairly maligned: artificial sweeteners.

Read on to find out why you don’t need to have any guilt about drinking your Diet Coke.

garcinia cambogia

Garcinia Cambogia is an east asian fruit that Indian people use in their chutneys.

So why has it turned into a billion dollar cottage industry as a weight loss supplement?

As it turns out some of its usefulness is based on legitimate facts, but whether or not it’ll work for you is a little murky.

bee alive products

Royal Jelly is one of my favorite compounds, and BeeAlive has always been one of my favorite supplement companies.

So I was naturally excited when they asked me to review some of their supplements out of the blue.

I was given royal jelly capsules, royal jelly in raw honey, and a new energy drink that has royal jelly and eleuthero as their main ingredients.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the relative pros and cons of each product, how to use them, and who they’re best suited for.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!

New Incredible Greens Product Video. Check It Out!

April 20, 2013 by 1 Comment

A good product video is something I’ve wanted to do since I released Incredible Greens, but have never found the time to get around to.

Until now!

It’s designed to be more informative and detailed than a commercial, but more entertaining than a traditional product demonstration video.

So take a look and tell me what you think :)

Royal Jelly is a unique and powerful substance.

It’s what makes the Queen Bee the Queen Bee, and it allows her to live longer, grow bigger, and make more babies than her worker bee halflings.

It’s also been shown to have a variety of healing properties in the human body.

But it turns out the substance is quite fragile, which means it’s only useful if you know how to use it.

So here’s how to do it.

One of the following statements is correct. Which one is it?

A). The pH of your body is the key macro variable in your body that regulates all other physiological functions, and disturbances in pH from your diet are real and hazardous to your health.
