Even qualified experts often seem to hold opposing opinions, making it difficult to figure out what you should actually be doing to optimize your health.

Pearce shares his frameworks and strategies for regulating your nervous system through breathwork, stress...

Over half of all Americans take one or more dietary supplements daily or occasionally. Supplements are available without a prescription and usually come in pill, powder, or liquid form.

Americans have been taking dietary supplements from vitamin A to zinc for decades. When supplements first became available in the 1940s, people flocked to local drug stores to stock up on these supposedly magical pills to improve their overall health and well-being, and they never stopped.   You may be trying to combat a vitamin deficiency or lower your risk of certain diseases – or you may just f...

Taking time to think offers opportunities for self-reflection and daydreaming, which activates multiple brain parts. It gives us time to turn down the inner noise and increase awareness of what matters most.   It's a busy world we're in. We have too much to do yet too little time that, in a rush to accomplish necessary tasks, we find ourselves losing our connection with the present moment – missin...

If good gut health means having more good bacteria than harmful bacteria, then it makes sense that poor gut health is often caused by an excess of harmful bacteria. While these causes can quickly change the balance of bacteria in your gut, day-to-day habits also impact your gut health.   We're all familiar with the organs and structures that make up the gut. We also are probably familiar with the...

In some cases, managing a thyroid condition can be challenging, almost like tracking a moving target. In others, a simple prescription controls symptoms.

Weight loss is simple, right? Eat less, exercise more, and voilà: The pounds melt away. Unfortunately, it's not always that easy. While a low 1200- to 1500-calorie diet works for many people, the number of calories you need depends on your weight, height, age, gender, and activity level.   We are joined today by Entrepreneur, Entertainer, Nutritional Therapist, the CEO of Clovis Culture, and the i...
