This is a great question. One I have thought about for a long time. I feel like I have a pretty good idea now and I am going to lay out the case right here. I am attacking the consumption of a common food. I think if you are going to do this you need to make a strong case scientifically. We need very clear epidemiological data, mechanistic/metabolic pathway data and experimental/clinical trial data. Okay so now for the context.
There is so much you cannot control and there are so many unknowns. I do not think enough people are talking about simple inexpensive things that can be done to boost immune systems and reduce risk.

I’m going to talk about working out with intentionality or a good mind muscle connection. This is a really important concept to learn, and it can take a long time to develop depending on the muscle (months to years). Basically, you want to feel the muscle you are using contract.
Hello, this is my first blog post, and I’m excited to create this resource for my patients or anyone else that finds it valuable. There is so much information and noise out there about fitness it’s hard for the average person to know where to start. My goal is to cut through all of that and make it very simple for you.
