Health and wellness articles from a Health Science perspective
Nutrition research produces findings that nobody wants. The ice cream paradox is one of them. It may surprise you to know that across multiple large prospective cohorts, regular ice cream consumption has been associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Not neutral. Lower. This is a food built from sugar, […]
Modern medicine operates under a structural and pronounced contradiction that is rarely examined or acknowledged. Physicians are primarily trained as high-reliability operators. Rightfully so. However, they are also granted epistemic authority that extends far beyond this role. Indeed, this arrangement functions adequately in acute contexts, such as trauma care, surgical emergencies, and infectious disease management, […]
Sticking to the “True Omnivore” diet doesn’t have to be a chore, and not every meal needs to be built from scratch to align with the principles of Nature’s Intent. The Korean Beef Bowl is no exception. In fact, sometimes the better approach is to recognize a dish with strong bones and remove what doesn’t […]
Most people have never heard of DMSO. For most people familiar with it, it’s usually a curiosity, something mentioned in alternative health circles or veterinary supply catalogs, but rarely in a clinical context. Of course, that gap between its reputation and its actual therapeutic record is worth examining. DMSO stands for Dimethyl Sulfoxide, which is […]
Most people have been taught to think of a healthy meal as something built around a grain base, surrounded by vegetables, with protein as an afterthought. Nature’s Intent disagrees with that construction entirely. The True Omnivore framework does not build a plate around starches and plant fiber. It centers on nutrient density, and the ocean […]
The relationship between carbonated beverages and weight management is more complicated than most dietary guidance acknowledges. The explanation provided here runs much deeper than calories, sugar content, or ingredient labels. This article presents a systems-level examination of how carbonation (including sparkling water), regardless of caloric content, interacts with the hormonal architecture governing hunger, the stress […]
If you’re dealing with a stealth disease, here’s an idea that might be worth exploring. Modern dietary debates tend to focus on macronutrients, caloric balance, and, increasingly, anti-nutrients. However, I would argue that far less attention is paid to trace metals that accumulate quietly through food choices and interact with immune function, gut integrity, and […]
Across cultures that never spoke to each other, a strikingly similar practice emerged. When someone was wounded, sick, or weak, they were fed liver. Hunters gave it to injured tribe members. European midwives fed it to postpartum mothers. Traditional Chinese medicine reserved it for blood loss and fatigue. Even military rations in the early twentieth […]
The deterioration of American health is no longer subtle. Chronic disease continues to rise, metabolic dysfunction has reached unprecedented levels, autoimmune disorders are increasing in frequency, and younger populations are developing conditions once limited to older adults. Are the current dietary guidelines wrong? Probably, but we have to have a nuanced conversation to discover why. […]
The word doctor does not mean “healer.” It also doesn’t mean “surgeon,” “physician,” or even “medical authority.”
