DID YOU KNOW that there's not only fatty liver disease, but fatty pancreas disease?

Fatty pancreas may be an early manifestation of metabolic syndrome and is linked to an increased risk for type 2 diabetes and pancreatic cancer.

According to the study from Scientific Reports, subjects with higher dietary inflammatory index scores were linked to a significantly increased risk for fatty pancreas. Similarly, empirical dietary inflammatory pattern scores and the dietary inflammatory score, also used to assess dietary contributions to inflammation, were significantly higher in those with fatty pancreas.

Again, it is all about reducing inflammation and it starts with diet!

Diet and Your Pain

From eNewsletter `10/6/2025

DID YOU KNOW that there were two incredible studies published about B-vitamins?

Optimal concentrations of folate and vitamin B12 significantly reduce serum homocysteine concentrations as well as mitigate the genetic impact? Elevated homocysteine is indicated for stroke, osteoporosis, and memory loss.

Researchers in a study from The Journal of Nutrition found individuals deficient in both vitamin B12 and folate had an increased risk of hyperhomocysteinemia (57.4%). In contrast, the prevalence was lower among those deficient in either vitamin B12 (31.1%) or folate (23.2%) alone. Significant associations were identified between the MTHFR C677T and A1298C genetic polymorphisms and elevated serum homocysteine concentrations. 

Thus, supplementing with the correct sources of vitamin B12 and folate that circumvent genetic mutations is more effective than those that do not.

A large retrospective study from JAMA Dermatology of Veterans Affairs patients with a history of skin cancer purports that patients taking nicotinamide (a non-flush source of niacin) 500 mg twice daily can significantly reduce their risk for skin cancer, with the greatest effect seen in those who take the supplement after their first episode of skin cancer.

Calcium Deficit | Sale Ending

From eNewsletter 10/1/2025

DID YOU KNOW that we often talk about the importance of supplemental minerals such as magnesium and zinc. For good reason. They are difficult to attain dietarily. However, there is another critical mineral that we should talk about a little more...calcium. Believe it or not, even the Dietary Guidelines for Americans says that many Americans are low in calcium.

Calcium is not only good for bones, but is a vital mineral for maintaining cell function. A diet low in calcium can lead to the formation of numerous health issues, including an increased risk of colorectal cancer. An 11-year study following hundreds of thousands of subjects from Frontiers in Nutrition found that those who had diets low in calcium had a significantly increased risk for colorectal cancers.

The misnomer is that one of the few ways to get calcium dietarily is from cow's milk. For years, our clients have been able to optimize their calcium needs from myriad dietary sources and supplements without having to rely on milk products.
