Toxic food is making millions of people sick - Listen in on this Free event to learn about what to avoid and what to eat

An invitation from Ocean Robbins, son of John Robbins (Diet for a New America):

Toxic food is making millions of people sick, and the costs of treating an epidemic of illness are driving families and even nations towards bankruptcy. Increasingly industrialized agriculture is polluting our air and water, treating animals with cruelty, and even driving climate change.  Our food is contaminated with hormones, antibiotics, GMOs, chemical cocktails, and neurotoxic pesticides.  

  The Food Revolution Summit will reveal breakthrough insights and the most current information about:

  Foods that can prevent (and even help you fight off) cancer, heart disease and diabetes. 

• How genetically engineered foods are affecting the gene pool of life on Earth (you’ll be shocked!) 
• The real data on controversial foods such as gluten, soy, sugar, carbs and fat. 
• The connection between industrial agriculture and climate change, and what you can do today to make a difference.

Studies Show Diet Soda Increases Stroke, Diabetes, Heart Disease and Death Rate

A study published in March 2014 revealed that the consumption of diet sodas is linked with an 30% increase in heart disease and death related to cardiovascular events. 

This is yet another study showing clear evidence of the dangers of aspartame and splenda, which the FDA continues to allow in diet sodas, candy, gum, yogurt, cookies and more. Did you know the top level CEO's of the sweetener companies  (e.g., Monsanto) and the FDA are old buddies and have switched places holding position within both organizations?

See the links below for alarming evidence of artificial sweeteners and their link to depression, weight gain, endocrine disorders, migraine headaches.... even gulf war syndrome.

But first the good news!...if you want to enjoy a soda with no worries....A tasty and safe soda alternative, Zevia soda, is available in health foods stores, Amazon.com and more retailers are being added all the time. It is sweetened with stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. It has zero calories, and does not contain phosphoric acid, which erodes your teeth. For more info, see www.zevia.com.

Fatigued and Forgetful? 13 Tests to Ask Your Doctor for...

Fatigued and Forgetful? 13 Tests to Ask Your Doctor for

According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), 27 million Americans have thyroid disease, but more than half remain undiagnosed. Why? Because doctors are not running the proper tests. Many of them hear the common complaints of weight gain, depression, hair loss, abnormal periods, etc. and they often mistake those symptoms for other problems. Some of them presume people are overeating or not exercising enough. Some of them think acne, PMS, and abnormal periods should be managed with birth control pills, even though those pills might cause a stroke or blood clot. Without even testing for hormones, several of my former doctors suggested I take birth control and zoloft. The answer was NO. I knew that was not getting to the root cause of the problem.

Warning
If you have a sluggish thyroid, it can progress into hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism and eventually can progress into autoimmune disease and even cancer. That is why it's important to get your lab work done early on before it becomes a bigger problem. If you suspect your thyroid is not functioning well, insist on tests 1-5 in the following list.
Also if your thyroid is not functioning well, it's very possible you may have related nutritional deficiencies such as Vitamin D, Magnesium, Zinc, Iron, B12 (Tests 6-8 plus Iron, which is usually included in basic bloodwork.
Tests 9-10 are far better indicators of health disease risk than your cholesterol number. Tests 11-13 may help you get to the root cause of what is causing your symptoms. Finding the root cause is the correct way to address any health problem. As opposed to putting a drug/bandaid into your system that may mask your symptoms but will never help you heal the problem.
