The Role of Chronic Insulin Resistance in Prostate Cancer Progression

I may ruffle a few feathers when I say this, but prostate cancer isn’t just “genetics,” or whatever oversimplified story mainstream medicine likes to toss at men. There’s a metabolic storm occurring underneath the surface, and insulin resistance is sitting right in the middle of it. The prostate is deeply sensitive to hormonal and metabolic dysfunction, and when blood sugar regulation is off, inflammation and tumor growth shift into high gear. If we’re going to talk healing, prevention, and real longevity, we have to talk about the metabolic roots of prostate disease, not just the symptoms that show up at the end.  Insulin resistance happens when your cells stop responding properly to insulin (the hormone produced by the pancreas that moves sugar out of your blood and into your cells for energy). When your cells become “blind” to insulin’s signal (usually due to chronic inflammation, stress, poor sleep, mineral imbalances, toxin exposure, and diets overloaded with refined fat and s...

Breath Is Voltage: How Deep Breathing Awakens the Body’s Electric Life Force

Breath Is Voltage: How Deep Breathing Awakens the Body’s Electric Life Force What We Mean by “Body Electricity” When people say “the body is electric,” it’s literal. Every cell in your body carries an electrical charge, and that current is what keeps you alive, thinking, and moving. When you breathe consciously, you’re literally charging your cells and tuning your internal voltage back into harmony. Breathwork facilitates the movement of "electricity" through the body by shifting the flow of bioelectric energy. Your cells run on tiny electrical charges, and breath is one of the fastest ways to influence that current. When you breathe deeply and rhythmically, you’re flooding the body with oxygen, which boosts ATP (your cellular energy currency) production in the mitochondria. ATP is what powers the tiny ion pumps in your cells that create voltage differences—aka your body’s natural battery. Additionally, breathwork alters your CO₂ levels, which in turn affects blood pH and co...

Why Every Woman with Fibroids Should Check Her Vitamin D Levels

Why Every Woman with Fibroids Should Check Her Vitamin D Levels If you’ve been diagnosed with uterine fibroids (UF), you’ve probably been told they’re common and “nothing to worry about.” When you break down what fibroids really are, 'nothing to worry about' starts sounding a little ridiculous. UF affects millions of women resulting in over 600,000 hysterectomies per year and reduces quality of life in many ways, yet one of the factors that drive their growth remains largely overlooked by western medicine. Could something as simple as a vitamin deficiency be fueling fibroid growth? The research says yes, and the implications for prevention and management are too important to ignore. What Are Uterine Fibroids? The term fibroid is derived from the Latin term “fibra”, which means fiber, and hence refers to the fibrous composition of the tumor. Essentially, these tumors are abnormal tissues formed by rapidly dividing unhealthy cells that invade the uterus and surrounding tissues ...

Red Light Therapy: Uncovering Health Benefits for Skin, Pain Relief, and More

Imagine a special light that can help your body feel better and heal faster. That’s what red light therapy is! Red light therapy uses a gentle red-colored light that doesn’t burn your skin or hurt. Instead, it taps into the power of natural light to revitalize the body at the cellular level. Whether you’re an athlete seeking faster recovery or someone looking for a radiant glow, this non-invasive therapy offers surprising benefits that might just transform your approach to health. Curious to learn more? Let’s take an in-depth review. What is Red Light Therapy? Red light therapy (RLT) is a healing treatment using specific wavelengths of light to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and improve skin health. It typically involves exposure to red (630-700 nm) or near-infrared (NIR) light (700-1100 nm) that penetrates the skin and tissues to reach deeper cellular structures. The use of light for healing dates back centuries, with early applications in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome where sunlig...
