Popular holistic neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter, M.D., offers a nice summary and explanation of the ketogenic diet in the writing below, entitled “New to a Low-Carb Keto Diet? Avoid These Common Mistakes.” This article appeared on his website on 10-9-2018. Because Dr. Perlmutter researches and writes so well I want to offer the reader a […]

Anti-Aging, Part II
This Journal revisits the biochemistry of aging by considering 9 key hallmarks of the aging process, and also serves as a prelude to the next Journal entry which will consider how maintaining muscle mass and functional muscle health is one major antidote to the inevitable biochemical changes imposed by the aging process. This Journal entry […]
Anti-Aging
This Journal contains some biochemical considerations about aging and will reference mitochondrial health, methylation biochemistry, and the chemistry of a class of compounds called sirtuins. A new anti-aging supplement from Designs for Health will be described which supports and enhances these life giving biochemical pathways. A key molecule of healthy cellular function is known as […]
Blood Sugar and Brain Health
This Journal presents further commentary about important biochemical pathways which are associated with brain health. A number of people who read the prior Brain Health writing expressed an interest in learning more about some of the causative factors which contribute to dementia onset. In that writing there is a rather long and comprehensive listing of […]
Minding your Mitochondria
This Crestone and Beyond Journal will introduce some expanded information about our obesity problem and associated metabolic concerns. This will be a biochemical follow-up to the prior health editorial Journal, and will delve into the subject of mitochondrial chemistry, and ways to enhance this important life chemistry. I’ll cover micronutrients, food and eating ideas, and […]
Muscle Health
This Journal offers a general overview on the importance of maintaining functional muscle health and muscle mass as we age. Without undertaking efforts to maintain our muscle health, we lose 8-10% of our skeletal muscle mass per decade after age 40. The degenerative loss of muscle mass and accompanying strength is called sarcopenia. Muscle atrophy […]
Brain Health Nutrients
This Journal posting is going to present a number of very good nutritional supplements which can be used to improve neurological conditions. I am going to step through this explanation by using the BRIGHT MINDS mnemonic which was recently introduced by psychiatrist Daniel Amen, M.D., in his latest book Memory Rescue. I am writing this […]
Preventing and Reversing Dementia
This Journal entry picks up with more clinical science about brain health and revisits Alzheimer’s disease. Clinical researchers have been investigating the biochemical mechanisms of this disorder and their investigations have led them to propose functional holistic lifestyle choices and practices as the therapeutic means to both prevent and reverse the disease process. Of course, […]
Brain Health and the Degenerative Disease Spectrum
Journal Summary: All chronic diseases exist on the same spectrum of biochemical and pathological change. There are common causes of all of the degenerative diseases on this continuum. All disease states can be prevented, improved, or healed, by altering the negative lifestyle choices and biochemistry which the individual is practicing. Degenerative brain disease has become […]
Brain Health
This Journal is about brain health and references many factors which impact brain health in positive and negative ways. The reader can draw inferences from the facts presented here in order to create brain health supporting lifestyle changes. Please work your way through the information as you have time and curiosity to do so. As […]
