If you are interested in warding off dental health problems before they begin and improving your overall dental health, you have to think about what you are putting into your body.  What we eat impacts our entire body, and that, of course, includes our teeth and gums. 

As you know, following a Paleo Diet means avoiding processed and packaged foods and Food allergies like wheat, corn, dairy, soy, legumes and increasing your vegetables, fruits, seafood and lean meats. Not only do these foods lack the vitamins and minerals your body needs, they contain little to no nutritional benefits. 

This directly impacts the health of your teeth and gums.  By staying away from processed foods, your teeth and gums will benefit, just like the rest of your body. Far as your dental health is concerned, sugar is the big bad guy here.  Toxic bacterial byproducts eat away teeth structure and bone and cause cavities and periodontal disease. They create a highly acidic environment.

Digestive Problems Hidden Component:

By Dr. J. J. Gregor D.C.  

Digestive problems affect about 70,000,000 people every day. There are billion dollar drugs that have been concocted to treat the myriad of problems that can be associated with the Gastrointestinal tract, not to mention the innumerable amounts of surgeries that are performed every year on the gut. There as so many causes and different symptoms that can be labeled as a digestive problem, everything from Chron's and

There as so many causes and different symptoms that can be labeled as a digestive problem, everything from Chron's and Gluten sensitivities and food allergies, hyper (too much) or hypo (too little) stomach acid, Gas, Belching, Bloating, Constipation, Diarrhea to nausea and vomiting. 

There is a much overlooked and potentially major accomplice in these symptoms/conditions, the ileocecal valve. First, let us talk about your digestive tract, which absorbs nutrients and the building blocks for your cells.  Your d...

In 2009 I was lucky enough to travel to Munich, Germany to take an advanced certification test (Diplomate in Applied Kinesiology) and was able to take my mother, who had never been to Europe.  We shared a room, and the trip was amazing.  However, my mom did manage to scare the hell out of me in the middle of the night the first night when she would just stop breathing for a breath or two, several times.  If you've had the misfortune of ever witnessing this, you understand what a disturbing experience it is. I made her go to a sleep center when she got home, and they officially diagnosed her with sleep apnea.  

This is a common chronic disorder, which disrupts the sleep of close to 25% of the population in the U.S.  And if left untreated, is extremely dangerous. There are two types of sleep apnea.  The first and most common type is obstructive sleep apnea, where your airway becomes blocked or even collapses. Most of the time the cause of the obstruction is an inhib...

Eat Local to Improve Your Health and the Environment

Dr. J. J. Gregor DC

One of the main tenants of the Ancestral Diet (Paleo or Primal) is to eat locally.  As we were 'growing up' as a species, before the advent of agriculture, we could only eat what we could find growing wild or what we could hunt.  Hence, we were hunter-gatherers.  We did this for around 200,000 years.  

Not to eat locally means that our genes are designed to eat a variety food that can be walked to in less than a day. Unfortunately, today our diets can't be considered local. In fact, they are far from local.  The average distance an American meal travels from farm to fork is about 1500 miles! 

This is the distance from my office here in Dallas, TX to Boston, MA.  There are significant problems with this in regards to the freshness of the food.  Usually, it takes three to five days after harvest to get to your local grocery store, so these foods were harvested five to ten days before they were ripe or when our a...

Soy has been labeled a superfood that's been said to help menopausal symptoms, decrease the risk of heart disease, reverse osteoporosis, and fight cancer. 

Unfortunately, I don't believe it is the amazing thing it's made out to be, and it's time to reconsider soy's place as a panacea of modern society.  Very few of these benefits have been substantiated, and in fact is outright miss-representations of the facts.

So let’s talk about all the adverse effects of soy, which are a lot and not good for your body. "Soy foods can prevent osteoporosis."  This fallacy came out of the observation that Asian cultures ate soy and have little or no incidents of osteoporosis. 

This is not true; Soy foods can cause deficiencies in calcium and vitamin D, both needed for healthy bones. Calcium from bone broths and vitamin D from seafood, lard and organ meats prevent osteoporosis in Asian countries—not soy foods. "Soy can prevent some cancers" this thought is based on the fact that soy contains phytoes...

Do you suffer from a skin condition?  Have a mental imbalance (anything from ADD to Dementia to Depression)?  Have an irritable bowl with diarrhea, constipation, or even both?  Suffering from chronic fatigue?  Or do you suffer from allergies?  If you've answered 'yes' to any of these, hold off on your next run to the local pharmacy where you'll grab a quick fix.  In fact, a fix may come from your diet.  Chances are you're suffering, on some level, from a corn sensitivity. You might be trying to think back to the last time you had some corn on the cob.  Shockingly enough, you're getting corn in your system from many other sources.  It's a staple food source, often part of three to four meals a day!  If it comes in a package, corn is most likely an ingredient.   Why?  Well, high Fructose Corn Syrup is the go-to sweetener in this country.  Most of the cattle in this country are fed corn to fatten them before slaughter.  Even some beers use corn as their grain of choice.  ...

Wheat – What is it Good For? Absolutely Nothing!

The smell of homemade bread on Sunday mornings. Wholesome. Comforting. Safe.

Except it's not.

Every time you eat bread, pasta, crackers, or any product made from wheat, you're triggering inflammatory processes that damage your gut lining, dysregulate your immune system, and contribute to chronic disease.

Heart disease. Autoimmu...
