By Benton Bramwell, ND, and Matt Warnock, JD – If the war against alternative medicine is over, it is time to openly consider the practical reality of traditional medicinal products that may be reasonably referred to here in the States as “Traditional Herbal Drugs.”
By Nicolo Montecalvo, DC, MS, ND, and Laurence V. Hicks, ND, DC, DO – This paper outlines an advanced, actionable diagnostic framework to guide clinicians past superficial phenotypes and accurately identify hidden cardiovascular and metabolic risk.
By Faezeh Sharif, MSc – Multi-component mind–body interventions — combining laughter yoga, diaphragmatic and slow breathing, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), self-compassion practice, guided imagery, self-massage, and deep relaxation (Shavasana) — are increasingly offered in complementary and integrative health settings.
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 Gary Null, PhD – How many times have we gone against the current of our own being? You know you should do A, but you are conditioned to do B.
You are fighting it because the conditioned self is conditioned from a place of fear. And fear will always win if we give in to it.
by Gary Null, PhD – What do we normally use to overcome obstacles? Fear, anger, uncertainty, envy, jealousy. Think of how many times you have been motivated by jealousy.
What if, instead, you simply had love? Do you know what love can do to a problem? It transforms your reaction to it. Love guides you to reframe events and to give the benefit of the doubt to yourself and to others.
By Matthew Melnick, Founder, Thinnr Weight Loss – I want to walk through what we actually observed, be honest about what the data is and is not, make the case for why the delivery mechanism matters as much as the intervention itself, and argue that the practices best positioned for the next decade of metabolic care are the ones leaning into this kind of technology rather than treating it as a threat.
By Eleonore Blaurock-Busch – Though the agricultural use of chemicals may lead to an increase in crops, it also leads to an increase in cancer and other health problems.
By Darrell S.C.S. Misak, ND, RPh – Can you have a seemingly healthy functional medical assessment without observed health restoration? In other words, how do we explain when an improvement in lab assessments does not correlate with improvement in client complaints?
by Gary Null, PhD – With this acceptance of yourself and others, conflict can dissolve and you can be in balance. Where there is balance, there is harmony. And where there is harmony, there is bliss. In bliss, there is no need to sublimate. When you are not sublimating, then there is no destructive behavior leading to addictions.
Review by Patricia S. Lemer, MEd – This book is a treasure. It should sit on the desk of every family and healthcare practitioner as a daily reference and guidebook. Give it as a gift to expecting couples, and family members. I cannot recommend it more highly for professionals and parents alike!
By Donnie Yance – Figs have the highest mineral content compared to other common fruits, and fig fruit consumption has been associated with improved digestive health, cardiovascular benefits, and enhanced immune function.
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 Diana Crumpler – Given the overlaps between MCS and RLS, an ecological assessment might prove helpful for sufferers of acquired idiopathic RLS who may be affected by manifestations of environmental sensitivity.
By Michael Edson, MS, LAc – Dry eyes, screen fatigue, and blue light exposure can all cloud your mental clarity, and growing evidence is showing that eye conditions like glaucoma may also play a role in cognition and brain fog.
Review by Timothy Fior, MD, DABM – Book by André Saine, DC, ND – This book, a much-needed addition to the literature on craniofacial manipulation, is the first textbook on BNS specifically for practitioners, and shows why, how and when to practice BNS, benefitting patients and helping them lead better, healthier, more balanced lives.
By Gary Null, PhD – The United States spends more than any country in history to manage disease, rather than create health. Until we confront the role of insurance as a barrier rather than a facilitator of care, no amount of medical innovation will fix a system designed to treat illness as a revenue stream.
By Gary Null, PhD – Love is not a luxury. It is oxygen for the soul, the organizing intelligence of nature itself. It is both the beginning and the destination of every human journey. We strengthen it through daily choice—choosing patience over reaction, empathy over judgment, generosity over grasping.
Each morning we can ask: Will I create fear today, or love?
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.
