Returning to the vitamin D study, the rest of the headline suggested that taking vitamin D upon getting COVID may reduce symptoms of long-term COVID (LTCOVID), a serious aftereffect of a COVID infection that can impact the nervous and muscular system. Brain fog, chronic fatigue, and pain are some of the common symptoms. The reason […]
My Monday morning news feed contained at least three referrals to a recent article published in the Journal of Nutrition. The headlines were all about the same: vitamin D supplementation is ineffective in the short term as a treatment for COVID but provides insight into how to reduce the risk of long-term COVID symptoms. I […]
If you read any of the commentary about the latest dietary guidelines, you would have thought there were radical changes. “Eat or drink full-fat dairy! Use beef tallow! Ultra-processed food should be eliminated!” If you took the time to read the synopses, there are very few differences between the recommendations. They still use the same […]
What were the Dietary Guidelines that were published for 2015? Can you remember any of them? What are the Dietary Guidelines for 2025? Did you read them? Here’s your chance. The 2015 Dietary Guidelines were released 10 years ago; the 2025 version about a month ago. Research was reviewed. Meetings were held. Comments were given. […]
We’ve become so obsessed with sleep, even our watches can track the amount of quality sleep we get, so we can expect something unusual tonight. We go to bed at our usual time and for most of us in the U.S., we wake up one hour earlier than planned because the clocks have changed. As […]

Garlic The second part of our immune boost supplements is garlic; it’s been noted to have beneficial properties for over 5,000 years. Garlic thins the […]
Just like nine years ago when I first wrote this, the cold and flu season is still around. The seasonal allergy season is right around the corner and may have started, depending on where you live. When you feel that first tickle in the back of your throat, that first nasally sensation, that’s when you […]
If you’re a long-time reader, you know that science by headlines really annoys me because they often distort the findings of the research papers to make them seem more important than they are—gotta get that next click! It doesn’t help that research institutions send out press releases that contribute to the hype of their research […]
Full-fat foods are back in the headlines in light of the recent proclamations by the USDA. I don’t know about you, but it’s been decades since I drank whole milk or ate whole fat yogurt or cheese. It’s not just about the calories; it just doesn’t seem to taste as good. Have I been missing […]
