You might be surprised to find out what results from a root canal. Dr. Hal Huggins talks about the research he’s done into root canals and how they might be one of the biggest reasons for disease and sickness. Dr. Huggins explains how a root canal is performed and how that process leads to bacteria in your blood.

As a weight loss physician and consultant, I try to assess how much activity a person doing on a daily basis, such as walking with a pedometer, or climbing steps, or yoga, or going to a gym, or any activity they like to do, CONSISTENTLY. How to get started with a fitness program and how to stay consistent are real concerns.

I just evaluated a patient who weighs 335 lbs since last year, and she told me she had been walking one mile a day for the past year, and low and behold….she still weighs 335lbs. She said her doctor reviewed her food diary and told her to eat more fruits and veggies, etc. She doesn’t fry her chicken, she sautes it. Good.

But upon further investigation, she said she walks at a slow pace, and she actually walks 3.5 miles three times a week (not one mile daily) and she does this in one- half hour to 45 minutes. RED Flag. Could there be some alteration of the truth.. Then she said that her primary care doctor didn’t have time to explain things to her and he was very busy, seeing three people at a time, and she doesn’t really know what to eat…and on and on, while her cell phone rang three times during her visit with me. She even answered it.

As a doctor, I rarely go Earthing. Or fishing or running. I just don’t get out often enough to have that kind of fun. I do get close to meditating, especially after a rough day in the hood. And, I’m usually dancing between patients in one practice, or laughing with others in another, who just need extra time to explain their situation. I’m not complaining, because no one said the practice of medicine would be easy. So when my colleague, Dr. Stephen Sinatra, told me about Earthing, my first comment was “Steve has left the planet.”

But, after a great conversation with Dr. Sinatra, cardiologist, on Conversations with Dr. Shelby-Lane, and of course, walking barefooted on the beach in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, I GOT it. Continue reading ‘What the Heck is Earthing?’ »

Many people do not realize the connection between hormones and between hormones and diet.  There are definite links between having balanced hormones and diet. One of the key links is the connection between insulin and cortisol.

Many people have gotten into some very bad habits that caused their diets to go off kilter. Back in the 1990s, people developed a fear of ingesting fat.  As a result, they turned to low-fat foods, in addition to things such as refined carbohydrates and simple sugars. This trend caused a major problem; and, it actually created a situation in which their bodies had to use a lot of insulin to balance all the sugar they were putting into their bloodstreams. It eventually got to the point where their bodies weren’t listening to the insulin and in fact became insulin resistant.  This is an ongoing problem. The effect:  The Obesity Epidemic.

The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a form of alternative psychotherapy. EFT purports to manipulate the body’s energy field by tapping on acupuncture points while a specific traumatic memory is focused on as a treatment method to eliminate a psychological problem.

Last week was the 2011 Tapping World Summit (you may still be able to access recordings from the event).

The Emotional Freedom Technique is a one of a kind technique that creates life-altering results for those that use it. I invite you to learn more at http://shelbylanemd.com/tws.

The current view of cholesterol is nothing but a widespread myth.  This myth is spread through television, magazines, books and right in the office of your family physician or specialist.  Cholesterol is often found at the scene of the crime, but it’s not the perpetrator.  

The truth is, sugar is the real criminal.  Sugar causes heart disease; it suppresses the immune system and it ages you.  High fructose corn syrup can be found in many foods you eat every day including bread, cereal, sauces, peanut butter, soda, baked goods and more.  When you ingest high fructose corn syrup it provokes insulin release and causes problems.
