Two weeks ago, we discussed our favorite products for adrenal nutrition and adaptogenic support, from plants and adaptogens to the very popular super food AvinoCort, which supports endocrine function and repair mechanisms. What do you do when you have detoxified a patient and provided them with all necessary nutrients for endocrine and adrenal health, but you still need something more? What do you use when your patient isn’t responding fast enough? Core healthy lifestyle choices utilizing nutrients from whole foods, herbal remedies, homeopathy and Anova exclusive regeneration technologies have been much more successful in practice than … [Read more...]

According to the Better Sleep Council, 65 percent of Americans are losing sleep due to stress. When stressed, patients may feel as if their mind won’t stop whirling or buzzing, even when they are trying to fall asleep. Medical researchers are now discovering that sleep plays a much bigger role in a patient’s health recovery than ever before. Chronic insomnia can also bring increased morbidity, both from lack of sleep and prescribed medications. Recent findings show that many patients who take medications or self-medicate with alcohol or recreational drugs to fall asleep do not experience restful sleep. Even though they fall asleep, … [Read more...]

There is probably no subject that attracts more attention in nutritional, functional, biological and energetic medicine than the health and functioning of the adrenal glands. How many courses, seminars and books have most of us read on these two tiny glands—the gateway of vitality, or Ming Men in Oriental energy medicine— perched atop the kidneys? There are many connections between these two especially important glands that have many core, central functions, including regulating blood pressure and helping the body and mind to adapt to the stress from our internal and external environments. All glands, organs and tissues in the body … [Read more...]

One of the most insidious of tricks played upon us by the universe is the activity of SLOW entropy or disintegration that sneaks up on us and does its work slowly. Think of Mr. Frog, who is sitting in a refreshing, cool pond on a hot summer day. Mr. Frog is unaware that he is sitting in a big black frying pan, so big that he cannot see the edges of this frying pan because they are camouflaged by trees in the distance. What Mr. Frog doesn’t realize is that someone is slowly turning up the heat on the pan, and, as we all know, he never even realizes the change and eventually dies from the heat instead of leaving the confines of the … [Read more...]

Cold and flu season will be upon us soon as we congregate indoors for the winter months and pass all of our germs along. For improved immune function, we have touted the benefits of Argentyn 23, Bio Preventics Research immune modulators and Safecare Rx homeopathics for acute infection remediation and immune support. These same products may work very well in many chronic issues as well, except when biofilms enter into the equation. Biofilms are present in up to 80% of microbial infections in the body, and as cases of candida, bacterial overgrowth and other GI and resistant systemic infections increase, we begin to see the effects of the … [Read more...]

As a health care professional, water is one area that I’m sure you will need to address, as patients are asking more and more questions concerning this very basic, but important, topic. While I’ve been asked thousands of questions about water—and have played with and marketed several types of technologies over the years—I can now say that ECH2O water has arrived. Before we discuss ECH2O water, I would like to discuss what is and isn’t important in water-treatment technologies today. Yes, it is time to break my silence about the MYTHS perpetuated about strictly marketing-driven alkaline water ionizer companies. MYTH 1: You can change … [Read more...]

Honestly, my patients don’t get all that excited when I talk about the nutrients vitamin C and vitamin D. Here is the reality: these two powerhouses deliver the goods, especially when it comes to supporting immune health. The FoodState® forms of these nutrients deliver nourishment better than just about anything else on the market. Here’s how the nutrients themselves deliver for the immune system: Vitamin C works to support the immune system very simply by increasing cell motility, chemotaxis and phagocytosis. Just tell that to your patients and they’ll know exactly what you’re talking about. Actually, here’s what you tell your … [Read more...]

You can bank on the fact that nothing ever remains the same. In fact, as much as we already know about the practice of health care, the given for practitioners is that there is more that we don’t know than that we know. As you know, we at Anova Health pride ourselves on educating all of our practitioners on the newest and best products and treatment protocols, as well as providing great information and recommendations for all of our products. Luckily, Seroyal—a company whose products we have been sharing our excitement about for the last few months—shares our strong commitment to continuing education. When it comes to integrating … [Read more...]

There are many times that even though we want the best for our patients and want to supply them with quality nutrients from whole foods and herb supplementation, they feel the need to cut corners. Off to the internet—or worse, Wal-Mart—they sometimes go, to purchase low-quality, lower-priced supplements—until now. Before patients buy cheap supplements to fill in nutritional gaps or round out their daily vitamin regimen, it may be in their best interests to discuss with you the many benefits of Four Pillars from Pharmax. A few of our physician practitioners have recently called Four Pillars the “Wal-Mart supplement buster” since it packs so … [Read more...]
