Supplements are Supplemental

What are the most important things you can be doing to improve your health? As the owner of a supplement company, I probably shouldn’t be telling you this. But as a doctor and someone who just wants the best for people, here it is: you’re probably approaching supplements in the wrong way. So many people […]

COVID-19: The Real Reason Why We Wear Masks

You should wear a mask for the rest of your life… That’s what I have to say to folks who get verbally and physically upset at others for NOT wearing a mask… If you believe that not wearing a mask translates to the complete disregard for (and ultimately the potential death of) others, then I’d […]

COVID-19: Will There Be More Exposure And More Death?

There’s basically 2 extreme camps in this debate… On one side are people who think we’ve totally overreacted. On the other side are people that feel COVID is way too dangerous and we need to stay sheltered in place until a treatment is developed. For those that feel we need to continue to hunker down, […]

COVID-19: This Thing’s All But Over

Why?… Why were we all forced to wear masks, self-quarantine, and take part in an unprecedented, nationwide economic shutdown? To stop people from contracting the virus? No. The purpose of the lockdown was and has never been to stop everyone from getting exposed to the virus. That outcome is neither favorable nor realistic. The goal […]

COVID-19: Should We Trust Some Or None Of The Data?

What does it mean to say someone has died from the coronavirus?… Sounds like a fairly straightforward question, but as it turns out, the CDC guidelines on this definition have shifted over time.

How’s your relationship weathering the pandemic?… At the start of the quarantine, I recall seeing a number of social posts pontificating on the different, cutesy names for the babies conceived during COVID-19.

COVID-19: Moving From Fear to Courage

I blew a fuse… Literally! The other day I needed to replace a fuse in my car, so I went to an auto parts store. But, the second I cross the threshold to the entrance, I was met with a rather stern directive: “Sir, you have to have a mask…” My response: “I don’t have […]

COVID-19: Why Your Mask Doesn’t Work

Here’s a little public service announcement about masks… An article published on pubmed in 2019 compared the effectiveness of surgical masks vs the “creme de la creme” N95 respirator masks in preventing influenza. The study in question was performed on outpatient health care personnel who were all in proximity to the influenza virus. The findings? Among […]

COVID-19: Calming Your Nervous System

COVID-19 times can be stressful times… Between the obsessive hand-washing, mandatory masks, and food/toilet paper hoarding, we’re surrounded on all sides by potential stressful triggers. So, what’s a person to do? For starters, if you find yourself feeling heightened anxiety and stress, cut yourself some slack. From an evolutionary standpoint, anxiety has its place. It can […]

COVID-19: Something Weird Is Going On

Ever had a conversation that just leaves you stunned? I recently had quite an eye-opening chat with my good friend and colleague Dr. Anthony G Beck. The topic? Some very head-scratching COVID-19 data points… On our video call, Dr. Beck shared a public data tracker that mines cellphone activity and can pinpoint user migration. ????With this “big-brother-ish” tool, we’re […]
