See all the Healthcasts at Health now a days requires following a fresh food diet, with supplements to fill the gaps in nutrition. Vitamins have been treated with disdain by medical doctors since I was in medical school half a century ago. Doctors have routinely told their patients that vitamin and mineral supplementation is unnecessary if a person has a “normal diet”. Sadly no one in our society has a normal, whole food, nutritious diet without fast food, high sugar and fat additives to make us consume more food, or preservatives. That is the first piece of...

See all the Healthcasts at When I go to Fitness Edge, the place I have worked out with weights twice a week for 38 years, I know I am increasing my muscle mass and my metabolism for the next 72 hours…that’s right, after just an hour of lifting weights, my body burns more calories over the next 3 days. Lifting weights not only increases muscle mass, strength and is the key element in weight loss, because it raises resting metabolism throughout the day, even while you are sleeping. As long as I have been a physician, we always knew that exercise was important to health, but not until...

See all the Healthcasts at All testosterone pellet medical practices are not equal. Most use pellets that are inferior to ours, inexpensive but have more side effects, and are not as effective as the testosterone and estradiol pellets that I use in my medical practice, BioBalance® Health. Most practices do not understand the many interactions between other hormones and sex hormones (testosterone and estradiol) like we do therefore you are not going to feel renewed, with all of your symptoms of testosterone and estradiol deficiency treated. At BioBalance® Health, we provide more than...

Most Americans have been under a severe heat warning for months, which has caused me to review the symptoms, prevention and treatment for Heat Stroke. This summer’s heat was unusual, however it may recur in the future, so we must learn to deal with the effect of prolonged exposure to dangerous heat. Heat stroke is not classically a stroke as you know it, however heat stroke is a condition of a different kind, but no less deadly. The conditions that can lead to heat stroke are listed...

See all the Healthcasts at As the founder and Medical Director of BioBalance® Health, an anti-aging longevity practice for 23 years, I have long sought a blood test that serves as a reliable indicator of aging and disease risk. Identifying those at highest risk allows me to better motivate patients to follow my treatment plan and pursue a longer, healthier life. For people who test negative, I would reassure them they are doing well and encourage them to maintain healthy habits. Over time, I assessed common medical tests that many doctors use to steer patients toward certain treatments that...

**People with the highest levels of alpha-tocopherol (the form of vitamin E that circulates throughout your body) had the lowest mortality rate over a 20-year study. These patients had lower risk of heart disease, cancer, and autoimmune disease including rheumatoid arthritis.
**In another long-term study patients with chronic lung disease had a decreased mortality. Vitamin E also counteracts the liver damage from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, in the same class as Vitamin A and D and is vital to healthy aging. Because it is a fat-soluble vitamin it is possible to store Vitamin E and one should not take too much of it because the body stores it!
You can start taking Vitamin E in your food:
- Nuts like Almonds, sunflower seeds and pine nuts
- Oils like Olive oil and Sunflower oil and wheat germ
- Animal products like Salmon, rainbow trout and eggs
- Vegetables like Spinach, Broccoli, Avocados
- Fruit like Kiwi, Mango and Blackberries
So how much Vitamin E should you take a day?
- For adults the required dose is 400-800 IUs/ day
Ideally, we should take Vitamin E as a preventive measure to ensure our health and to delay our mortality. Eating vitamin E is a good way to get it, but taking a supplemental vitamin E helps when your diet is not optimal.
