HAS YOUR DOCTOR RAN A HsCRP ON YOUR YEARLY PHYSICAL?
In functional medicine we have been doing this for two decades. “Inflammation is the devil”. It develops from a myriad of causes. It’s time for physicians to learn how to manage diet and lifestyle factors in addition to pharmacological management.

What is the Five-to-One Fiber Rule?
Michael Greger, M.D. FACLM

For every 5 grams of carbohydrate, there should be one gram of fiber.
An average slice of bread has 15-20g of carbohydrates, so look for 3-4 g of fiber per slice.
