I am loving this easy, healthy garlic dip! Serve with crudite vegetables for an elevated snacking experience.

Note that I use two heads of garlic for a more intense garlicky flavor. I wrap the heads in unbleached parchment paper before wrapping them in foil.

Why it’s not a great idea to buy supplements from Amazon:

The supplement company NOW reported discovering fraudulent products sold on Amazon. The counterfeit supplements all contained white rice flour instead of active ingredients. More disturbing: NOW found traces of the medication Sildenafil in some samples.

It’s incredibly challenging for consumers to spot counterfeit products. Other issues include expired products or products that have been improperly stored and have thereby sustained damage (for example, fish oil exposed to heat, causing oxidation of the omega-3 fats).

I highly recommend purchasing supplements through reputable supplement distributors (such as Fullscript or PureFormulas) or health food stores with good turnover.

Oral health is increasingly being recognized as a marker of systemic health.

New research published in the journal 𝘕𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘈𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 has found that periodontal disease is a significant risk factor for stroke and damage to the white matter of the brain. Study authors urged neurologists to include oral health as part of their brain disease prevention workup.

I encourage all patients to schedule regular dental cleanings and take special care of their oral hygiene.

This fall, I've really been loving poached pears as a delicious, easy, low-sugar dessert! I love the richness of wine (much of the alcohol will be burned off in the cooking), but you can also use black tea (Earl Grey is a favorite). For a lower glycemic index, I substitute Coconut sugar for white sugar.

Sadly, we have no good medications to address this devastating disease. However, growing evidence shows that WALKING can slow cognitive decline even in patients who carry the APOE4 gene, which significantly increases one’s risk for Alzheimer’s disease.

Study author Dr Cindy Barha says: “We can start telling people that if you’re at risk, we know this one thing — walking — will be beneficial for you.”

Whether you know you carry the APOE4 gene or not, physical activity is a great way to maintain brain health.

Dr Rachel Rubin, a urologist and sexual medicine specialist, recently summarized research relating to diet and erectile dysfunction in men:
"Meat Isn't Manly When It Comes to Erectile Function".

A significant body of very compelling evidence is now showing that a more plant-centric diet is associated with a lower risk of erectile dysfunction, likely by improving blood vessel health.
We should all be prioritizing veggies in our diets!

Hormone-Disrupting Pthalates in Personal-Care Products?

A recent study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives examined the urine of 630 young kids (aged 4-8) for the presence of chemicals called phthalates. The researchers found that recent use of various skin and hair care products was associated with higher levels of these chemicals, which disrupt hormone function in the body.

Why you should care: Though phthalates don’t actually stick around all that long in the human body, cumulative exposure in young kids at critical stages of development may interrupt brain development and be associated with higher rates of behavioral problems, along with affecting sexual development (for example, contributing to earlier onset of periods in young girls).

In an era of aggressive marketing of personal care and makeup to kids and teens, parents should be aware of these risks!
Check the Environmental Working Group's website or app for safe, phthalate-free products.

90-95% of Americans are far from meeting the minimum daily recommendations for fiber intake: 25g per day for women and 38g per day for men. On average, American women consume 15g and men consume 18g a day.

Fiber is crucial for feeding the gut microbiome, regulating blood sugar and cholesterol, promoting satiety, managing weight, and proper bowel elimination. Anything we eat that grows from the ground is a source of fiber. The less processed it is, the more fiber is generally retained.

“Fecal Forensics” is a stinky business! However, it could be very beneficial in tracking what people really eat and how that tracks with health outcomes.
Studying the DNA of what we excrete can tell scientists about what and how much we eat in a far more detailed and precise way than relying on dietary questionnaires.

A 2023 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, for example, found a higher diversity of plants in the poops of obese kids. Unexpected to say the least!! Says lead scientist Lawrence David: "The more I dug into it, it turns out that foods that are more processed often tend to have more ingredients. So, a Big Mac and fries and a coffee have 19 different plant species”.

I look forward to the day when our functional stool tests can give doctors precise dietary information. Then again, I am a member of the Gastro Association of Naturopathic Physicians; affectionately known as “Turd Nerds”!

I recently made this yummy, easy tomato soup TWICE in a row!

To make your own cashew cream:
~Soak 1 cup of cashews in boiled water for a couple of hours to soften.
~Drain and place in a high-speed blender with 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast (optional, but a yummy, cheesy addition).
~Blend until very smooth.

So delicious!!

Too much of a good thing?
I am increasingly seeing patients taking very high levels of Vitamin D supplementation.

Recently, 16 people were hospitalized in Spain with hypervitaminosis D (vitamin D overdose) due to ingestion of improperly labeled supplements. Their symptoms included abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Lab testing showed acute kidney failure, elevated blood calcium levels, and high Vitamin D in the blood.

While many factors can contribute to the need for differing doses of Vitamin D (such as sun exposure, skin tone, weight, and genetics), overdose can occur.

I generally recommend doses of 2000IU per day for adults, but blood testing can help determine whether you need more or your current dose is too high. Aim for blood levels around 50ng/mL.

May I introduce: Soy Curls!!

This is a new ingredient I've added to my cooking. These curls are made from dehydrated soybeans. Though the Butler brand is not certified organic, it uses non-GMO soybeans that have not been treated with chemical pesticides.
Despite its contentious reputation, soy is confirmed to be a healthy source of plant-based protein.
I used these to make delicious taco filling. The texture was incredibly close to chicken, and the blend of spices resulted in amazing flavor- the entire family enjoyed!
Will be adding these to my cooking rotation.
