By Ben Moss – I’ve recommitted myself to a low-carbohydrate lifestyle and it’s not easy! I’m paying close attention to what happens as my body transitions into nutritional ketosis. Two weeks in, I can feel the difference.
By Erik Peper – Individual choices matter, but they are not enough by themselves. Our health depends as much on government policy as on personal willpower. Government regulations set safety standards for the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink.
By Geo Espinosa, ND – Mortality has several doors: prostate cancer, cardiovascular disease, other cancers, and other causes. When the investigators tracked which door men went through, the excess deaths tied to saturated fat went mostly through the cardiovascular door.
By Geo Espinosa – For prevention-oriented men, the defensible recommendation is dietary: three or more mushroom meals per week across varied species. Shiitake, oyster, maitake, and king oyster are the antioxidant-dense choices. The nutritional upside is real — high fiber, low glycemic index, very low fat, protein content in some species rivaling animal sources.
By Ben Moss – If you haven’t heard of the Slow Food movement, it is time to get up to speed with what should be the most important revolution the USA has ever known. Fair warning, if you read this article all the way through, you will be hungry by the end.
By Geo Espinosa – Evidence first. Context always. Natural and lifestyle first when possible. The label on a therapy matters far less than its fit, its safety, and its proof. We don’t choose between modern and integrative medicine.
By Ben Moss – A small change in the cuticles around my fingernails has become a surprisingly reliable reminder to take my vitamins. What fascinates me most is not the symptom itself, but how quickly the body can respond when it has the resources it needs to heal.
By E. Blaurock-Busch, PhD – Naphthalene can be toxic by ingestion, inhalation, or absorption through the skin when humans are exposed to it in more than a passing way. In small amounts it may produce symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, headache, and fever. In larger amounts, it may induce more serious problems, including liver damage, blindness, coma, convulsions, and death.
By Donnie Yance, CN, MH, RH(AHG) – I’ve seen countless patients improve their health not through aggressive pharmaceutical intervention, but through fundamental lifestyle changes: eating real food, moving their bodies, managing stress, cultivating relationships, and finding purpose. These interventions work with our biology, not against it. They reduce inflammation, optimize metabolic function, and support the body’s innate healing capacity.
By Donnie Yance – For too long, we’ve accepted chemotherapy’s collateral damage as inevitable—the price that must be paid for a chance at cure or extended survival.
The research on fasting and chemotherapy offers a different paradigm, to support the quality of life while optimizing outcomes.
By Erik Peper – Ultra-processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages are also associated with increased risk for obesity and metabolic disease; moreover, cancer survivors who consume higher amounts of ultra processed foods face a significantly increased risk of both all-cause and cancer-specific mortality/
By Alan R. Gaby, M.D. – Summaries of articles on the Mediterranean diet, glyphosate, Psoriasis, food allergies, research fraud, turmeric, and more!
By Christos Chinopoulos, MD, PhD, DSc – Cancer cells integrate carbohydrate, protein, and lipid catabolic routes in a highly coordinated fashion, allowing them to switch fuel sources and maintain growth and survival in the nutrient variable tumor microenvironment. Low-toxicity interventions do not replace surgery, cytotoxics or targeted drugs, but when matched to tumor genotype and patient metabolic state they can widen the therapeutic window of virtually every modern anti-cancer modality.
By Matthew Melnick – Historically, truly personalized care required time, attention, and constant follow-up—things most practitioners simply don’t have enough of. AI changes that equation.
With the right system in place, patients can receive continuous feedback, personalized adjustments, and behavioral guidance between visits.
Ben Moss reports from Washington on a new federal push to bring nutrition education into American medical schools. Does this signal a meaningful shift in how medicine confronts chronic disease, prevention, and the role of food in health?
by Alan R. Gaby, MD – Smoking cessation, Olive oil, Melatonin, Endometriosis, Heart Failure and Cognitive Decline are some of the topics reviewed in this article.
Review by Rudy Shur – The recommendation to consume a healthy amount of dietary fiber may turn out to be the most important nutritional recommendation of all. Research shows that a fiber-rich diet provides a many health benefits, from reducing the risk of chronic disease to better weight management, to fostering a diverse and robust microbiome.
By Geo Espinosa, ND, LAc – No single food causes or cures disease, but the microbiome science backing fermented foods is getting hard to ignore. A recent review/meta-analysis found that among other benefits, in the trials, eating fermented kimchi was linked with better blood sugar and blood pressure.
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.
As the producer of The Moss Report, the year leading up to the Covid-19 pandemic was filled with anticipation and excitement. We had invested years of hard work and significant resources into two major projects: our feature film, Immunotherapy: The Battle Within, and...
