The REDUCE-IT clinical trial formed the basis for the expanded recommendations for use of Vascepa, the prescription fish-oil medication. This was an expensive trial, involving 11 countries and hundreds of medical centers with 999 physicians who recruited subjects, collected data, and kept track of the subjects for close to five years. With over 8,000 subjects, […]
One of the key questions for the FDA advisory panel to consider was whether the prescription fish oil was a primary preventer of cardiovascular disease or a secondary preventer. What’s the difference? Primary prevention of CVD would impact the disease and stop events before they occurred in the subjects taking the fish-oil medication. Secondary prevention […]
“This Fish-Oil Heart Drug Could Be Big, Could Be Huge.” That was the headline in a well-known financial report after a Food and Drug Administration panel unanimously voted in favor of an expanded use for the prescription fish-oil drug.

In last month’s Memos, I talked about many different aspects of exercise including flexibility, strengthening, and the various types of fitness and stamina. There’s one more thing you need to know. But first, a story. Paula has been having an issue with her ankle and foot. She got it checked out with her podiatrist, and […]
It’s time to hit the road again. It’s been too long since I’ve done my own seminars, so I’m planning 2020 Health and Nutrition seminars. My goal is to go to a dozen or so cities throughout the U.S. and Canada next year. It’s not that I love to travel—it’s that I love to teach. […]
