By Geo Espinosa – A PSA that climbs fivefold in eight months usually means you missed something. Sometimes it means the patient forgot to mention his testosterone injections.
By Joy Reuther-Costa – But chewing is not simply the process of making food small enough to swallow. It engages the nervous system, contributes to digestion, participates in appetite and metabolic signaling, provides mechanical stimulation to the jaw, and takes place within a remarkably complex microbial ecosystem.
By Deborah Nathan – Menopause-related bone loss can affect both cortical bone, the dense outer layer of bone, and trabecular bone, the porous, honeycomb-like bone found inside areas such as the spine, hip, and ends of long bones. Because trabecular bone is remodeled more frequently than cortical bone, it may be affected earlier and more rapidly by estrogen decline.
By Jacob Teitelbaum, MD – The medications used to suppress inflammation are problematic. For example, arthritis medications are associated with a 35% increased risk of heart attack and stroke, as well as bleeding ulcers.
In some, severe pain can be caused by food sensitivities. Especially dairy and gluten. If the pain is persistent despite other treatments, it is worth taking a month to go strictly gluten and dairy free to see if that helps.
By Donnie Yance – Glucosamine and chondroitin are both recognizes as both effective and safe, especially for managing osteoarthritis and joint pain. However, more research is needed to understand how they might help with other health conditions.
By Erik Peper – By changing the breathing-blink pattern and peacefully looking at the world with a smile, one would decrease sympathetic arousal and increase parasympathetic activity. This approach should be taught as the first self-care intervention to reduce eye irritation.
By Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – Two decades ago, localized prostate cancer care mostly meant an open prostatectomy or ~40 fractions of pelvic radiation.
Today, the menu is far broader—robot-assisted techniques that prioritize functional preservation, ultra-hypofractionated radiation that may be delivered in as few as 2 fractions in select protocols, and ≥5 focal therapy modalities that target the index lesion while sparing the uninvolved gland.
The challenge isn’t a lack of options—it’s matching the right patient to the right intensity at the right time.
By Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – PSA is our main blood test for prostate cancer. But in men with hypogonadism (low testosterone), PSA can look deceptively low—even when high-grade cancer is present, and this can delay diagnosis and treatment at the very early stages, when catching cancer matters the most.
By Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – Poor sleep isn’t just a nuisance—it’s linked with metabolic syndrome, hypertension, heart disease, cognitive decline, and even higher prostate cancer risk over time. Better sleep isn’t a luxury; it’s a foundation for health, clarity, and quality of life. Strength training can help with that.
Review by Rudy Shur – Eyestrain may be a normal symptom of the times we live in, but it has consequences – headaches, blurred vision, eye pain, dry eye, excessive tearing, excessive blinking, double vision, eye fatigue, heavy eyes, burning sensation, difficulty focusing, poor night vision, neck and shoulder pain, poor visual acuity, or bloodshot eyes, this book explains how to take the necessary steps to resolve it.
By Donnie Yance – Understanding the relationship between gut health and GLP-1 provides valuable insights into metabolic health optimization. We can naturally enhance GLP-1 function, and achieve better metabolic outcomes, by focusing on gut microbiome support through diet, stress management, and targeted supplementation.
Book Review by Rudy Shur – Although diet and nutritional supplements are essential to fighting macular degeneration, there are other steps you can take to lower your risk of AMD—such as quitting smoking, getting regular exercise, and protecting your eyes from damaging blue light—that can help you avoid or slow AMD.
by Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – Prostatitis remains frustrating for both patients and physicians alike, and success in managing it often lies in looking beyond the prostate—and toward the whole person.
Stroke patients have the ability to make improvements in recovery and avoid another stroke, and this book can help stroke survivors lead better, healthier, and happier lives.
With osteoporosis, bone loss can eventually absorb up to 1/3rd of your total bone mass, leaving the remaining bone thin, porous, and subject to fractures. An integrative program of botanical and nutritional compounds, together with diet and exercise, can support bone health and general health—without drugs.
Low bone density, which causes weakened bone tissue, bone structure, and strength, and increases the risk of fracture, is one of the greatest threats to mobility during aging.
The book Max Your Immunity – How to Maximize Your Immune System When You Need It Most, reviewed here, was written to be a complete guide to understanding and maximizing our natural defenses against various illnesses and infectious diseases.

It has proven to be difficult, if not impossible, to proceed to full-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for most of the natural methods that cannot be patented or otherwise monopolized.
By addressing food sensitivities through targeted testing and personalized dietary interventions, individuals can take a significant step toward reducing inflammation, improving gut health, and enhancing overall well-being.
