For all its flaws, the recent MAHA Report has set some ambitious and worthy goals for children’s health. But the MAHA movement’s lofty goals are at odds with the Trump administrations MAGA priorties and policies (Image: RFK Jr & Donald Trump, Aug 2024, Gage Skidmore/Wikimedia Commons)
Early on in the recent MAHA Report on children’s health, its authors unwittingly reveal a glaring contradiction at the heart of the alliance between Robert Kennedy, Jr’s, Make America Healthy Again movement, and Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again agenda.
It’s a contradiction that’s even more troublesome, though less headline-grabbing, than the MAHA committee’s carelessness with research citations (we’ll get to that in a minute).
The
report states that: “During this administration, we will begin reversing the
childhood chronic disease crisis by confronting its root causes—not just its
symptoms. This means pursuing truth, embracing science, and enacting pro-growth
policies and innovations to restore children’s health.”
(This article was adapted for Holistic Primary Care from “5 Myths About Olive Oil on Dr. Kara Fitzgerald’s website). There is an old Cretan saying: “Το λάδι είναι το αίμα της γης.” It means, “Olive oil is the blood of the earth.” That tells us a lot, about both the inherent richness of olive oil, and the […]
Mangos. They’re cheery, packed with vitamin C and other nutrients, and though they’re quite sweet, they can improve insulin sensitivity in people at risk of type 2 diabetes. That’s the upshot of a recent clinical trial from researchers at the Clinical Nutrition Research Center at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Katherine Pett and colleagues studied […]
Join
us for an in-depth exploration of how telomere biology is reshaping our
understanding of aging-related conditions.
In this free webinar, Dr. Gordon Crozier—a renowned practitioner of integrative medicine and genetics-based healthcare—explains how telomeres influence cellular metabolism and genomic stability. The gradual shortening of these protective caps at the ends of chromosomes has been linked to both metabolic syndrome and neurodegenerative diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s.
Dr. Crozier will examine the shared molecular mechanisms behind these conditions and highlight how telomere dysfunction may serve as a central driver of all of them.
We’ll
discuss the role of oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial
impairment in telomere attrition, and how these factors contribute to both
metabolic dysregulation and cognitive decline. You’ll gain insight into
emerging therapeutic strategies, from lifestyle interventions to telomerase
activation, with the potential to address both neurological and metabolic
health in tandem.
