Let’s talk about one of the most sneaky ingredients hiding in your food: seed oils.

Canola, soybean, sunflower, safflower, corn… these oils are everywhere. From restaurant meals and salad dressings to chips, granola bars, and even “healthy” snack foods—seed oils have become nearly impossible to avoid.

But what’s the big deal? Are they really that bad for you? Let’s break it down.

What Are Seed Oils?

Seed oils are extracted from (you guessed it) seeds. To get oil out of tiny seeds like soybeans or sunflowers, manufacturers use high-heat and chemical extraction. This process helps produce large amounts of oil cheaply—making them a favorite in the food industry.

The issue? That refining process strips away nutrients and creates unstable fats that easily oxidize. Once oxidized, these fats can create free radicals in your body, leading to inflammation and cell damage.

Why Seed Oils Can Be a Problem

When fats are damaged by heat and processing, they don’t behave well inside yo...

A Heartfelt Truth

I say this with compassion in the most kind hearted way possible — not as a “know it all,” but as someone who has personally been devastated by cancer.  I know this topic might stir up emotions or even get me a little backlash, but it’s a conversation that’s too important to ignore.

Are Parasites and Cancer the Same Thing?

Not all cancer is caused by parasites — and not all parasites are cancer.

You’ve probably seen dramatic claims on Google or social media, but the truth lies somewhere in between.

Here’s what we do know: cancer cells are always being created in the body. Your immune system’s job is to detect and destroy them before they become dangerous. But when that system gets suppressed or overloaded, your body can miss those signals — and that’s where parasites can quietly play a role.

How Parasites Can Contribute to Cancer Risk

Parasites can:

• Suppress your immune system

• Create chronic inflammation and tissue irritation

• Blindfold you

It’s been a while, since I’ve done cryotherapy, but while I was back in my home town to see Barbara O'Neil (yes I was beyond excited) I had to make a stop at Greensboro Sports Performance, besides the world’s best chiropractor Dr. Damien Rodulfo, to jump in the ice box, AKA Cryotherapy

Here's why (Cryotherapy Benefits)

1. Reduced Inflammation: Cryotherapy helps lower inflammation in the body, which can reduce pain and swelling,

2. Faster Muscle Recovery: cold therapy can aid in speeding up muscle recovery after intense workouts or injuries by promoting circulation

3. Boosted Metabolism: Research shows cryotherapy can help boost metabolism, potentially supporting weight loss efforts by causing the body to burn more calories to regulate temperature.

4. Improved Mood and Mental Health: Cryotherapy can help release endorphins, which can enhance mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression

5. Enhanced Skin Health: Cold exposure can improve blood flow, which may help with skin ti...

Ok, lets see if we can get through this as this blog has deleted more than once.... bah.... but as promised here are my “Keto conclusions” after thirty days on the ketogenic diet (high fat, very low carb, moderate protein) and around thirty days back on the carbs (lowered fat, higher protein compared to keto). Am I a fan? Well yes and no. For me no, not at all, however I have seen wonderful success from a ketogenic diet and if I or another loved one was diagnosed with cancer or epilepsy I sure as heck would give it a shot again.
I decided to give keto to fight off inflammation, increase energy and improve my mental clarity. No such luck for any of the above. Weight loss was not my main goal but I was looking forward to loosing the 2-3 pounds I put on over the holidays, no such luck there either. In fact I feel like I put on 2-3lbs (nothing major, not complaining, but still interesting). My first conclusion is the reason I didn’t seem to feel any better could be because I was already eat...
