Radio Naturopath Episode 540: Vitamin K2 and Cardiovascular Disease, After Meal Gummies for Gums, Surgical Alternatives to Knee Pain, Natural Swimming
This week, I reviewed the latest on my Lyme treatment, which is not too bad, some antibiotics, herbs, and probiotics. Then we talked about the great vitamin K2, whose job is to direct calcium to your bones and away from places you don't want it, like in your knees, kidneys, and arteries. Then on to post-meal probiotic gummies for gum health and fresh breath! We did a bit on alternatives to knee surgery, and then finished with why YOU should participate in open water swimming!
Radio Naturopath Episode 242: Normal and Abnormal Body Temperature; Is Food Addiction Really a Thing?
This week we talk about normal body temperature, since a recent study from Stanford University collected 20th century data and found that Wunderlich's data from 1851 was outdated. Body temperature has decreased due to factors like less ongoing infection, sedentary lifestyle, gum disease, and always hanging around in temperature-controlled environments! We also talk about fevers and how to handle them. Also, is food addiction really a thing, given that you HAVE to eat to live, but you don't HAVE to ingest cocaine, heroin, nicotine, or the other substances that addict people? My opinion: the answer is Yes and No.
