Health “Nugget” of the week

Ever considered trying Raw Milk vs Pasteurized Milk? Here’s why…

Eww!! Raw milk? no way! Now just hang on, and hear me out…

I have been fairly lactose intolerant for most of my adult life. I tried everything, organic, grass-fed milks cheeses, etc. But about 1 year ago, I contacted a local farm, and decided to buy some Raw Milk and Cheese. I found them on RealMilk.com. This site helps you find Raw dairy near you.

From the first day of trying raw milk and cheese, I literally had NO MORE issues. No gas, no bloating, no burping, no tired feeling, it was amazing. I’ve been drinking it ever since. There will be more data coming out over time, and certain states are now making it legal. States such as California, Pennsylvania, Vermont and many more are on board!

The Benefits claimed on raw milk:

• Easier to digest! Pasteurized milk compromises the proteins

• May prevent development of allergies during childhood

• Beneficial Bacteria for your gut

• Pasteurized milk is processed and destroys the nutrients

• Pasteurized milk destroys the enzymes needed to digest

Ever heard of a Therapeutic “Purge Fast”? Tim Ferris (Author/Podcaster) shares his methods for a good cleanse!

Tim Ferriss has been quite the force in the world of Self-Help, Podcasting, Social Media and much more. Author of The 4-Hour Body, The 4-Hour Workweek and Tools of the Titans, he also shares his fasting methods.

Tim came into fasting as a method to tackle his long-standing Lyme disease. He began with a 7-day water fast at a fasting clinic – and whilst he didn’t like their style and rules; he found his long-standing skin issues cleared up, as well as chronic joint pain. But even more common he follows a 3-day fast to have a more sustainable method.

3-Day Fast Summary:

• Have your last meal by 6 pm Thursday night

• Friday morning, take a long walk (ideally 3-4 hours) to accelerate your transition into ketosis

• Friday, Saturday & Sunday consume moderate amounts of exogenous ketones to “fill the gap” of food, while you’re moving into ketosis

• Sunday evening break the fast

There is evidence that suggests that fasts of 3 days or longer can effectively 'reboot' your immune system via stem cell based regenerations. D'Agostino (co-author) promotes the idea of a 'purge fast': 'if you don't have cancer and you do a therapeutic fast 1 to 3 times per year, you could purge any precancerous cells that may be living in your body' (source: Tools of Titans & LiveHelfi.com)

Tired of Hair Loss? This works for Men and women!

There has been some promising research on the hair loss front. You may have already heard of Minoxidil a common hair medication, but have you heard of microneedling or dermarolling?

In one study, men between the ages of 20 and 35 years old who had mild or moderate hereditary hair loss were treated with either 5% minoxidil twice a day or 5% minoxidil twice a day plus weekly microneedling. study

The first group saw an 86 percent improvement in hair loss compared to the minoxidil-only group, which saw around a 63 percent improvement.

After 12 weeks of treatment, the patients treated with minoxidil and microneedling had significantly more hair growth. Try using a 0.5mm dermaroller on amazon. And stay at it! Results may take 4-6 months but some have seen HUGE results!
