What actually is gut healing?
When I studied nutrition, the knowledge of how the gut works and the microbiome was scarce. Microbiology was a subject, but it was never about the gut and microbiome. It was a fact (medical) that the gut could not leak, and there was no such thing as a leaky gut. ...

Is a daily intake of celery juice your silver bullet?
I’ve been in the health and nutrition industry for 43 years. I’ve seen the darlings and silver bullets of vitamins, minerals and health/super foods come and go. I see celery juice as just another fad. 16oz of freshly juiced celery, with no additives, consumed on an...

CAN SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN MICROWAVED BE CERTIFIED ORGANIC?
