🟡 Turmeric & Cancer: What the New Science Actually Shows

You’ve probably heard turmeric called a “cancer-fighting superfood.” But the real story is more interesting — and more scientific — than most headlines suggest.

A new 2026 review published in Nutrients looked at how curcumin (turmeric’s active compound) affects cancer cells at the metabolic level… and the findings are fascinating.

Instead of vaguely “boosting immunity,” curcumin appears to target the unique metabolic weaknesses of cancer cells.

🔬 Cancer Cells Have a Metabolic Problem

Cancer cells grow fast — and to do that, they rewire how they use fuel:

• They burn huge amounts of glucose (sugar)
• They make excess fats to build new cell membranes
• They depend heavily on specific amino acids like glutamine
• Their mitochondria shift from energy efficiency → growth mode

This metabolic chaos is now recognized as a hallmark of cancer.

🧪 What Curcumin Does in Lab Studies

Researchers found curcumin can interfere with several of these cancer-specific pathways:

✔️ Blocks glucose processing enzymes — reducing cancer cell energy production
✔️ Reduces fat synthesis needed for rapid tumor growth
✔️ Disrupts glutamine metabolism, stressing cancer cells
✔️ Damages cancer cell mitochondria, triggering cell death pathways
✔️ Influences major signaling systems like PI3K/Akt, AMPK, NF-κB, and HIF-1α

Even more interesting: normal cells appear more resilient, likely because their metabolism isn’t already under stress.

⚠️ The Big Catch: Absorption

Curcumin’s biggest limitation isn’t effectiveness in the lab — it’s poor absorption in the human body.

Standard turmeric or curcumin powders = very little actually reaches your bloodstream.

That’s why many human studies have shown only modest results despite impressive lab data.

Newer enhanced formulations (like micelle-based delivery systems) have been shown to dramatically improve absorption — which may help bridge that gap. But clinical research in humans is still ongoing.

🧠 What This Means for You

✔️ Curcumin shows real promise for metabolic and inflammatory support
✔️ It may have preventive potential, especially for gut health
✔️ It may offer supportive benefits alongside medical care

❗ But it is not a replacement for cancer treatment
❗ And not all supplements are absorbed the same

The bigger takeaway?
Cancer prevention isn’t about one “miracle” supplement — it’s about supporting healthy cellular metabolism through nutrition, lifestyle, and smart supplementation.

Metabolic reprogramming is a fundamental hallmark and a key driver of malignant tumors. By reshaping glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, as well as mitochondrial function, it sustains the abnormal proliferation and survival of tumor cells, making it a crucial target for anti-tumor therapy.

Big news in spine research — and this is exactly what we do at STRONGLIFE Corrective Chiropractic.

A practice-changing randomized clinical trial just confirmed that restoring the natural curve in the neck (cervical lordosis) doesn’t just help people feel better temporarily… it leads to lasting pain relief, improved nerve function, and even reduced reliance on medications in patients with cervical radiculopathy.

👉 Translation: Fixing the structure of the spine helps fix the function of the spine.

What the study found (2-YEAR follow-up!)

Patients who received cervical lordosis rehabilitation using extension traction — not just exercises or symptom-based therapy — experienced:

✅ Restoration of the neck’s natural curve that was maintained long after treatment
✅ Continued reduction in neck and arm pain over time
✅ Objective improvement in nerve root function (measured with neurophysiological testing)
✅ Reduced medication use, including discontinuation of opioids in some cases

Meanwhile, patients who received only traditional conservative care (stretching, exercises, modalities) saw their symptoms and nerve function regress over time.

That’s a BIG deal.

🧠 Why this matters

This study reinforces a core principle of what we do every day:

Structure influences function.

If the spine loses its normal alignment — especially the curve in the neck — nerves, muscles, and discs are placed under abnormal stress. Treating pain alone without correcting alignment is often temporary. Correcting the curve changes the long-term outcome.

How this connects to STRONGLIFE

At STRONGLIFE Corrective Chiropractic, we specialize in CBP® (Chiropractic BioPhysics) structural rehabilitation, which includes:

✔ Posture-specific adjustments
✔ Mirror-image exercises
✔ Cervical extension traction (like in this study) to help restore the natural lordosis

This isn’t just about “feeling looser” after an adjustment. It’s about measurable structural change that supports long-term nerve and spine health.

If you’ve been dealing with:
• Neck pain
• Arm pain, numbness, or tingling
• Degenerative disc issues in the neck
• Posture problems or forward head posture

…there may be more we can do than just manage symptoms.

If you want to find out whether your neck curve could be contributing to your symptoms, message us or call the office to schedule an evaluation.

Your spine was designed with curves for a reason — and restoring them can change everything. 💚🖤

Sagittal cervical alignment is a clinically related feature in patients suffering from chronic cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR).

🧠💫 Dizziness That Starts in the Neck? The Research Is Clear.

A landmark 1-year randomized controlled trial published in the European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine confirms something we see clinically every day:

👉 Lasting relief from cervicogenic dizziness requires correcting cervical spine structure — not just managing symptoms.

🔬 What this study showed:

Researchers followed 72 patients with chronic cervicogenic dizziness for one full year.

✔ Both groups improved short-term
❌ Only ONE group improved long-term

The difference?

🦴 Restoring cervical lordosis & correcting forward head posture using the Denneroll cervical orthotic.

📊 At 1-year follow-up, the structural correction group experienced:

✅ ~30-point improvement in Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) scores
✅ Reduced dizziness frequency & severity
✅ Sustained neck pain relief
✅ Improved head repositioning accuracy (better brain-neck communication)
✅ Maintained cervical lordosis & improved posture

🚨 Meanwhile, patients who received conventional care alone regressed back toward baseline once treatment stopped.

As co-author Deed E. Harrison, DC explains:

“Short-term symptom relief is not the same as long-term recovery. If we don’t correct cervical structure, we’re only managing symptoms.”

🧠 Why this matters:

Cervicogenic dizziness isn’t just a muscle or vestibular issue.
This study confirms it can be a biomechanical + neurophysiological problem driven by:
• Loss of cervical lordosis
• Forward head posture
• Disrupted proprioceptive input to the brain

🧩 Structure matters. And when you correct it — results last.

📚 Read the research:

If you or someone you love struggles with chronic dizziness, neck pain, or balance issues, this research changes the conversation.

Pain relief is temporary. Structure is permanent.

🍎 The New Food Pyramid Is Here! 🥩🌽

After 17 years of telling my patients to focus on real, whole foods, the new federal food pyramid finally reflects what truly supports human health.

A historic reset of U.S. nutrition guidance has just been released — putting real, whole foods back at the center of health! 🇺🇸✨
I’m genuinely excited about this!

👉 The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the updated food pyramid encourage us to think differently about what goes on our plates:

✅ Prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods like high-quality protein, healthy fats, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.

🍗 Protein — from both animal and plant sources — is emphasized for every meal.

🥚 Healthy fats from foods like eggs, avocados, nuts, and olives now play a central role in a balanced diet.

🌿 Fruits & veggies remain essential for fiber, vitamins, and overall health.

❌ Reduce or avoid highly processed foods, refined carbohydrates, added sugars, and industrial additives.

This pyramid isn’t a strict diet — it’s a flexible framework to help you eat real food most of the time.

This “reset” in nutrition policy—led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services—validates what I've seen clinically for decades: When you fuel the body with real food, everything functions better.

I love seeing national guidelines finally catch up to what science, physiology, and real-world results have been telling us all along.

📌 These new guidelines represent what federal leaders are calling the most significant reset of national nutrition policy in decades, with updates that could shape school meals, military rations, and community nutrition programs.

🧠🫀 9 out of 10 people are omega-3 deficient — even the “healthy” ones.

If you’re reading this, there’s a 90% chance you’re not getting enough omega-3 fatty acids… even if you think you are.

A global review analyzing omega-3 intake across 42 countries confirmed what I see firsthand: most people worldwide are not meeting EPA + DHA needs — and the recommendations themselves are often just the minimum to avoid deficiency, not what’s optimal for longevity, brain health, or inflammation control.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41277237/

Why omega-3s matter more than most people realize 👇

In practice, correcting omega-3 deficiency led to real, measurable improvements, including:
✔ Reduced joint pain and autoimmune flare-ups
✔ Improved mood, anxiety, and mental clarity
✔ Healthier skin when nothing else worked
✔ Better blood sugar regulation and cardiovascular markers

These aren’t subtle changes — they are life-changing for many patients.

My Functional Medicine approach 💡

I always recommend:
🐟 Eating fatty fish regularly
💊 Supplementing smart — not mega-dosing
🔬 Testing when possible (Omega-3 Index > guessing)
✅ Using only high-quality, ultra-pure products

That’s why this is the omega-3 I personally take and recommend:
