Heart Health
This is one of the most frustrating areas of health when it comes to clearing up the misleading maintream misinformation (MMM). From cholesterol to hypertension to arterial plaque and the real causes of cardiovascular disease, its prevention, and its treatment, what is happening in the doctor's office is often at significant odds with what true science reveals. TRUE science, not "sell-drug" skewed science. Nearly every day someone asks me about what to do for his or her cholesterol. "My doctor told me I need to take a statin." Often my inquiry regarding numbers leaves me dumbfounded. One man, just yesterday, total cholesterol 174! A statin drug? LDL 117, triglycerides 86 (all fine according to the current acceptable ranges), but the statin drug was prescribed because his HDL was 44. So what? And, statin drugs do NOT raise HDL. AND, statin drugs weaken many critical physiological functions and can ultimately kill.
In the hormonal cascade, cholesterol is the "lord and giver of life." Without cholesterol we are dead, and if we don't have enough of it, we aren't very healthy. And did you know that people with high cholesterol live the longest? "Knowledge is power..."

The natural steroid hormones are generally synthesized from cholesterol in various organs, including the gonads and adrenal glands. These hormone building blocks are known as lipids. Further conversions and catabolism occur in the liver, in other "peripheral" tissues, and in the target tissues and organs themselves. The synthesized hormones can pass through the cell membrane, as they are fat-soluble, and then bind to steroid hormone receptors to bring about rapid changes within the cell. Steroid hormones are generally carried in the blood bound to specific carrier proteins such as sex hormone-binding globulin or corticosteroid-binding globulin.
Cholesterol is a waxy steroid metabolite which regulates the fluidity and permeability of cell membranes. In addition, it is also an important component for manufacturing bile acids, vitamin D, and other steroid hormones. Cholesterol is the principle sterol synthesized in the body.
Cholesterol is the precursor to all other hormones downstream in the steroid hormone cascade.

The New Class of Blood Thinners: What You Need to Know and Natural Alternatives
Blood thinners — also known as anticoagulants — are among the most widely prescribed drugs today. They can be life-saving, but they also come with serious risks: dangerous bleeding, lifestyle restrictions, and long-term dependency.
In this Wondrous Webinar, I explore:
-
Why atrial fibrillation increases stroke risk
-
The history of warfarin and the rise of DOACs (Eliquis, Xarelto, Pradaxa)
-
Hidden downsides of anticoagulant therapy — from vascular calcification to quality of life
-
Why daily aspirin may not be the safe solution many believe
-
Natural alternatives like serrapeptase and nattokinase, shown to support healthy blood flow and reduce clot risk safely
-
The overlooked role of blood viscosity and methylation nutrients (B6, B12, folate, glycine) in cardiovascular health
Whether you are currently on anticoagulants, considering them, or simply seeking safe and effective ways to protect your cardiovascular system, this presentation gives you the knowledge to make informed decisions.
Atrial fibrillation (AFIB) is the most common heart rhythm disorder—often treated with medications, ablation, and blood thinners. But what’s happening beneath the surface, and can AFIB be prevented or better managed with natural strategies?
In this presentation, I explore:
-
What AFIB is, how common it is, and its risks
-
Standard medical management and its limits
-
The role of nutrients like iodine, selenium, glutathione, CoQ10, L-carnitine, taurine, magnesium, and potassium in stabilizing heart rhythm
-
The omega-3 controversy
-
Lifestyle strategies to reduce AFIB burden and support heart health
Whether you or someone you love is living with AFIB, this talk will help you understand how nutrition, lifestyle, and cutting-edge natural supports can make a difference.
