Hey Jimi,



Have you ever had a health problem that just keeps coming back?

You try something new.

Maybe you change your diet…

Start taking a new supplement…

Or find something that finally seems to help.

And for a while, you feel better.

You start thinking:

“Finally… maybe I’ve figured this out.”

But then a few weeks or months later, the problem comes back.

So you try something else.

And the whole cycle starts again.

If you’ve ever experienced this, there’s an important question worth asking:

What if you’re addressing the symptoms… but missing what’s behind them?

Because your body doesn’t operate in isolated parts.

Your gut, immune system, nutrition, environment, lifestyle, and inflammatory processes…

…are constantly interacting with one another.

Which means understanding where a symptom shows up may only be the beginning.

The bigger question is WHY it keeps happening in the first place.

That’s exactly what we’re exploring in Root Cause Answers.

This November, I’m bringing together 40+ experts for a complimentary 10-episode docuseries where we’ll explore:


  • Why certain health challenges can become so persistent

  • The overlooked factors that can influence how your body functions

  • How seemingly unrelated systems in your body can be more connected than you realize

  • And what leading experts believe we should be investigating beyond the symptoms

So if you’re tired of feeling better for a while… only to end up right back where you started…

It might be time to start asking:

“What am I missing?”

There’s a lot of talk in the wellness world about sleep, Jimi.

It’s not hype - it’s hard to overstate how important sleep is for our health.



Do you know:



  • The optimal time to sleep for better skin elasticity, faster fat burning, and stronger muscles and bones?
  • When - and when not - to nap for maximum immunity, alertness, productivity, and mental clarity?
  • How to naturally boost melatonin, your body’s essential “sleep hormone,” for deeper, more restorative rest?
  • That the direction your head faces while sleeping could determine whether you wake up refreshed or restless?


If sleep is still a problem for you, learn from these award-winning, Harvard-trained experts.
 

Protect Your Brain—Get the Surprising Facts on Alcohol & Aging​

[td width="650px"]
For years, society has reassured us that “a little” alcohol is no big deal—maybe even good for us.

But what if the science has been telling a different story this entire time?
What if those casual glasses of wine, those celebratory toasts, those weekend cocktails are quietly sabotaging your mental acuity, your joy, and the future you want to create?

Groundbreaking new research—shared by Harvard-trained mind/body researcher Ronnie Newman and award-winning wellness expert Debra Poneman—has exposed truths even the medical community is struggling to keep up with. Their transformative eBook, “The Truth About Alcohol and the Aging Brain,” is now available fr-ee for a limited time.

Here’s why you need to read it—and share it with everyone you care about:

Even Just One or Two Drinks a Week Can Increase Dementia Risk

You read that right. The latest genetic and neurobiology studies show that even so-called moderate drinking increases our long-term chance of cognitive decline, memory loss, and dementia as we age. There is no “safe” level when it comes to protecting your brain—especially if longevity, creativity, and clear thinking are part of your vision for the future.

Alcohol Quietly Attacks the Brain’s Repair System

Alcohol doesn’t just give you a buzz and leave your system—it affects your brain’s ability to communicate, regenerate, and repair itself. New data proves that each drink chips away at the delicate architecture that underpins your clarity, focus, and joy. More people are waking up to this reality—but for most, unfortunately, only after the damage is done.

You CAN Reverse the Trend! One of the most inspiring insights in the ebook is that brains are adaptable—even resilient.

Get your fr-ee copy now!

What You’ll Discover Inside:

  • The scientific reason NO quantity of alcohol is safe for your precious brain—especially as you age
  • How alcohol triggers invisible inflammation destroying connections between brain cells
  • Shockingly simple rituals that spark mental reboot—no willpower or “missing out” required
  • Gentle, empowering ways to create brain-healthy social rituals that lift your mood
  • True stories and peer-reviewed science to reinforce your decisions for years to come

Over my 38 years in integrative oncology, there's one question I hear often from women facing breast cancer...


“What else can I be doing to support my recovery?”


And it’s an important question.


Your appointments with your oncologist are vital for your recovery.


That’s where you review your results, discuss treatment, and make decisions about your care.


But then you go home.


And you still have to work out what to eat...

How to get quality rest...

As well as what to do with the questions that come up between visits.


In a typical month, that can leave more than 700 hours outside the doctor’s office.


Those hours deserve attention, too.


That’s why I want you to watch my latest masterclass with Dr. Véronique Desaulniers (also known as Dr. V.), called:

7 Essential Steps to Conquering Breast Cancer


=> Watch the 7 Essential Steps Masterclass Here


This presentation walks through the everyday parts of caring for yourself that can easily get overlooked...


From the food you eat...


To what you use around your home...


To the emotional support you have when everything starts to feel overwhelming.


These are the things you’re dealing with long after an appointment ends.


As you watch, think about the part of your day you’d most like help with.


You might be struggling to plan meals around treatment.


Or wondering where to begin with all the changes you’ve been reading about.


Start there.


The presentation will help you see how that question fits into the 7 Essentials and give you a place to begin.

Hello friends,

This week, we have three stories that touch on some very different parts of our health. We are looking at a flu virus that is changing faster than expected, artificial intelligence that may help doctors detect prostate cancer, and something many of us probably don't think twice about: what we are putting into our morning coffee.
mail
Let's start with the flu.

This year's flu season started about two and a half months earlier than usual, and it hit the West Coast first. That's unusual. The strain getting the most attention is H1N1, which has picked up a mutation that helps it get around our immune system.

Here is what is happening. Viruses have one job: find a way to change and infect as many people as they can. They don't sleep, and they don't relax. They are constantly changing. When a mutation works, meaning the virus finds a way to infect more people or get around the immune system, it takes advantage of that.

The flu virus is no different. It is constantly mutating, and that is why experts are always trying to predict which strain will be dominant before they create the vaccine.

How do they make that prediction? A lot of it comes from looking at what has been circulating during the winter in the Southern Hemisphere, places like Brazil and Australia. They use that information to make an educated guess about what we may see here in the United States.

Some years they get it just right. Other years, the virus changes after the vaccine strains have already been selected.

That is what happened this year. According to CNN, the mutation appeared after the strains for this year's flu vaccine had been chosen. The vaccine may not be a perfect match for this version of H1N1, but that does not mean it is useless.

And I want to emphasize that.

The vaccine can still help reduce the severity of the illness. In some cases, it may prevent infection altogether. There is a big difference between being at home curled up in bed with a fever and becoming much sicker, versus having a few sniffles and moving on with your day.

So is it still worth getting the flu shot? Absolutely.

In fact, this is exactly the time to get it. Flu season is moving earlier than expected, and vaccination still gives you protection even when the match is not perfect. Don't let the news about a mutation discourage you from getting vaccinated.
 
mail
Next, let's look at artificial intelligence and prostate cancer.

This is one of the areas where I am happy to say that AI may actually help us.

Prostate cancer affects a lot of men. In the United States, we often use a PSA blood test as part of screening. The problem is that PSA can be elevated for reasons other than prostate cancer. There are benign conditions that can cause it to go up, so it is not always easy to know what to do with that result.

Now, doctors in the United Kingdom's National Health Service are looking at ways to use artificial intelligence to help identify prostate cancer on MRI scans.

The idea is pretty straightforward. If someone gets an MRI, the AI tool can highlight areas of the prostate that may be concerning. It gives the radiologist an extra pair of eyes, helping identify places that may need further attention.

And that could be lifesaving.

The technology is not replacing radiologists. The radiologist still reviews the scan and makes the final call. The AI is there to help identify something that might otherwise deserve a closer look. The physician then has to consider the imaging, the patient's history, and the rest of the clinical picture to decide what needs to happen next.

The NHS plans to use these tools as support for doctors, not as a substitute for them. The article also notes that prostate cancer affects tens of thousands of men in the UK each year, which gives you a sense of why finding ways to improve detection matters.

I think this is a good thing. We have to remember that prostate cancer is not a minor issue. Even someone who is closely monitored and regularly screened can still develop an advanced cancer. We saw that with former President Joe Biden, whose diagnosis brought attention to the fact that prostate cancer can be serious even when someone has access to extensive medical care.

In the United States, PSA testing is part of how we approach prostate cancer screening, but it is not a perfect tool. An elevated PSA does not automatically mean cancer. That is where additional evaluation, including imaging when appropriate, can help doctors understand what is happening.

The important point is that AI is a tool. It can help the radiologist see something that needs attention, but the final decision still belongs to the medical team. I am comfortable with that kind of technology when it supports clinical judgment rather than replacing it.
 
mail
And finally, let's talk about coffee.

This one hits a little closer to home.

Researchers at Tufts University analyzed dietary information from about 30,000 adults in the United States. They looked at coffee consumption between 2003 and 2018 and found something interesting. The amount of coffee people drank stayed fairly steady, but the calories coming from coffee increased.

In 2003, people were getting about 43 calories a day from their coffee. By 2018, that number had increased to about 60 calories.

So we are drinking about the same amount of coffee, but we are adding more calories to it. What changed?

The biggest contributor was non-dairy creamers. By 2018, it was adding more calories than either sugar or regular dairy milk.

Now, I spend a little more time than I probably should in the creamer aisle at the grocery store. There are so many interesting products. Coconut milk, soy, almond, and all those different flavors. And I am a sucker for them, too. So I share in the sadness here.

But there is something we need to understand about these creamers. Depending on the product, they can contain quite a bit of sugar, refined oils, and saturated fat. And because we think we are choosing something healthier by going non-dairy, we may not pay as much attention to how much we pour.

That is exactly what happens to me. My coffee-to-creamer ratio has shifted. Suddenly, I have more cream than coffee. I am having my morning cream with a little coffee flavoring.

And I think that is what this study is really telling us.

It is not necessarily that you have to give up your favorite creamer. It is that you need to pay attention to how much you are using and what is actually in it. Non-dairy does not automatically mean low calorie or healthier. Look at the ingredients and the nutrition information.

If you love the flavor, there are ways to make some adjustments. Try adding cinnamon for flavor, or consider an unsweetened plant-based alternative. You can also start by simply using a little less creamer.

And don't give up on coffee. I am with you. Sometimes you find a coffee that tastes good all by itself. Every once in a while, I pull out the French press, and I think this is delightful. I didn't have to add anything.

Maybe that is what we need to focus on. Get the ratio back in our favor: a little cream and more coffee.

When I look at these three stories together, they remind me that better health often comes down to making informed choices. Whether it is protecting ourselves against a changing virus, using new technology to help doctors catch cancer earlier, or simply paying closer attention to what we put in our coffee, the details matter. We do not have to be perfect, but we do need to stay informed, ask questions, and make thoughtful decisions about our health.

Happy Wednesday Jimi,A bird feeder is a fun way to draw more birds to your yard, but any windows nearby should be considered for bird safety. Here are some simple ways to make that glass safer. Today, we’re also exploring an insect whose eggs get an unexpected helping hand from ants, and what it means to be “regular”.
For more practical ways to reconnect with nature and create a healthier home, explore the Earth Conscious Life community.

Their eggs have also adapted to create a small edible knob that attracts ants.Then the ants carry the eggs into their nests, eat the knob, and leave the rest intact. When the young insects hatch, they look and move like ants before climbing into trees and developing their leaf disguise. Take a closer look at their remarkable life cycle.
