I used to always be hungry and crave food…

I was hungry when I woke up. I was very hungry before I went to bed. And I was even hungry not long after a big meal. Thankfully, I was not obese. I was younger then and I liked to exercise. But I did carry about 20 pounds too many. And I had a round face and a soft belly.

I was eating and drinking a full menu of high-density carbohydrates back then. Pizza, cereal, bagels, sandwiches, chips and soda were all on the list. I consumed plenty of calories. Yet, I was still hungry.

And not only was I frequently hungry, but my mood and energy levels would swing wildly. I would become irritable… sometimes depressed. And I always felt like I needed a nap about two in the afternoon. But there was one thing that always seemed to boost my mood and energy – more carbs!

Then, about 10 years ago, I began to study the diet of our Paleolithic genetic ancestors…

Before that, I had not thought much about what I should eat to remain healthy and lean. But I didn’t like the fact that I was gaining weight.

An All-Natural Cancer-Fighting Secret from the Amazon

Besides the fact that it simply hasn’t been shown to increase the survival rate from cancer, a major drawback of chemotherapy is the horrific side effects. Many chemotherapy drugs work by stopping all cell division in the body. That includes healthy cells. That’s why people lose their hair and become nauseated during treatment. Healthy new cells aren’t replacing the old ones. It’s also the reason people say, “If the cancer doesn’t kill you, the treatment will.”

An Ancient Chinese Herb That Holds the Key to a Longer, Healthier Life

Telomeres were big, big news last week thanks to three pioneering scientists at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. The researchers won the Nobel Prize in science for discovering that telomeres can be lengthened — a finding that holds promise for increasing the healthy lifespan and even fighting cancer.

An Appalachian Home Remedy That Soothes Painful Hands

After years of typing on a keyboard for most of the day, your hands can really feel it — as in joint and knuckle pain and swelling in the fingers. If you want to avoid the daily use of prescription and OTC drugs, try the down-home remedy of folks in the Appalachian Mountains. They’ve been making tea from alfalfa leaves and seeds for generations. Due to its high content of plant steroids, alfalfa has anti-inflammatory properties that help people with pain and swelling in their fingers and hands.

You’re Not Alone

At any given time, more than 31 million people in the US suffer from backaches. In fact, 80% of all Americans suffer from back pain at some point in their lives.

I can sympathize. I’ve had friends with back problems that were so bad that they were laid up for days. Some had to sleep on the floor every night. Others had to sit in chairs with special back supports or they couldn’t make it through the day. A former boss of mine couldn’t sit at all. He came to work and knelt all day on something that looked like a pew you’d see in church.

CoQ10 Has Arrived!

In last Wednesday’s Undercover, I told you about the remarkable energy boost I get from taking the supplement CoQ10. I take 200 mg in a regular gel cap. While the benefits have been great, I’ve just found out that a new and improved form will work even better - and at a lower dose. It’s so much improved, that Dr. Al Sears says it’s 8 times more powerful than regular CoQ10.

A Must-Read for Statin Takers

Statin drugs are a $20 billion business for Big Pharma. At least 13 million people in the US are daily users. But there’s a dirty little secret that the drug companies don’t want you to know. Statins can dangerously lower an essential nutrient in your body —CoQ10. According to Dr. Al Sears, “CoQ10 is nothing short of a miracle heart energizer.”

Feed Your Muscles, Not Your Waistline

Those of us who’ve ever exercised with a trainer or read magazine articles about fitness know about lactic acid. It’s the point in our exercise routine when we’ve “overdone” it and the “dreaded” stuff starts to build up in our muscles. The experts tell us that’s when we feel pain and soreness — especially after our workout —so crossing the lactic acid threshold should be avoided.

Burn Baby, Burn

In last Tuesday’s THB, I introduced you to PACE®, Dr. Al Sears’ “native fitness” program. It’s a one-of-a-kind exercise plan designed around short bursts of intense exertion that mimic the demands placed on our ancient ancestors.

Fruits and Vegetables are Now Weenies!

In 1936, a group of doctors sounded an alarm to the US Senate. It was a dire warning that the mineral content of the soil was eroding. Vegetables were losing their power and people were at risk. Congress did nothing and today we’re feeling the effects.
