This Week's (really last week's) News Roundup

Here they are…last week’s words of wisdom. At least some of them. There are so many, I can’t post ‘em all!

I love doing this…

“Blood sugar control is more important at preventing heart disease than cholesterol EVER was!!!” – Dr. Christiane Northrup

“It seems as if so many of our nutritional strategies are based upon lack and force and stress - low calorie meals, low fat foods, low pleasure eating, intense exercise, and lots of self punishment. How can such an approach possibly lead to health and happiness?” – Marc David

“The culture of conventional medical training resembles that of an alcoholic family system – rife with unhealthy denial and shame.” – Dr. Christiane Northrup

“As a general rule when food shopping, the longer the ingredients label, the further away from nature it is and therefore less healthy. An item does not belong in your shopping basket if:
-the ingredient list is too long
-there are too many ingredients your grandmother wouldn’t have used
-the print too fine
-you don’t recognize more than two or three names
-there are too many names you can’t pronounce – Dr. Frank Lipman

“What makes you happy? Our hyper-commercialized culture says you must have the biggest house, the newest digital gadgets or the best car to be happy. But the fact is, it is more important to overall happiness to be content with what you have than to acquire what you don’t.” – Dr. Andrew Weil

“There is only one concept you really need to focus on: the glycemic load of your meals.” – Dr. Mark Hyman

“While short, intense workouts can be great for inducing fat loss, increasing aerobic capacity, and reducing risk for cardiovascular disease, excessively intense exercise can cause a variety of health problems, especially for those dealing with other concurrent stressors such as autoimmune disease, gut dysbiosis, or adrenal fatigue.” – Chris Kresser
