Article: What if there were a simple lab test that could predict metabolic conditions 10 to 20 years before they appear? A way to clearly “see” the often symptomless precursor to type 2 diabetes, obesity, and certain cancers and degenerative brain conditions. And therefore an opportunity to create an alternate path forward to avoid these […]

No matter who walks into my clinic with whatever condition, I ask myself, “What would Dr. Lee say to this person?” It is an honorable challenge to look through the lens of Dr. Lee’s understanding of the endocrine system. He figured out how it is that this delicate system is the first to reflect nutritional […]

Dear Fellow Parents, Fresh fruits and vegetables are a thing of the past. We’ve got a grab-and-go squeeze packet or dried fruit snacks now. Cheaper, no prep needed, and they last for months. Whole grains and grass-fed meats are vastly overrated and no different from the value products at your local Wal-Mart. They just want […]

I’ve been the Managing Editor for Selene River Press for over eight years. When I started, I had little knowledge of wholistic nutrition and had never heard of Dr. Royal Lee or Standard Process. I did my best to be “healthy” from what I knew. My mother had always leaned towards wholistic and whole foods […]

Most people agree that we are both biochemical and bioelectrical beings. Nutrition is the foundation for our biochemistry. The nutrient dense food that we eat provides our body with key nutrients which allows for the bioelectrical capacity and conductivity.  Modalities such as acupuncture address the bioelectrical aspect of our bodies which is generally associated with […]

It’s what you do every day that matters most. Read Part 1 here. What I have learned working at one of the busiest fertility clinics in the United States is that no one knows exactly what is going to help you become, and stay, pregnant. I use the word become because it really is a […]

If you have had an egg retrieval, then your ovaries might be in an autoimmune reaction phase. Although retrieving one’s own eggs to create high-quality embryos is often necessary during the fertility journey, it is a very invasive procedure. The invasiveness not only stems from the procedure itself but from the pharmaceutically induced follicle development […]

Soon enough AI tools will be built into most search engines, browsers, phones, you name it— and being able to discern accurate information in those circumstances requires AI literacy so you know what […]

Meal planning is practically a part-time job. Between finding recipes, predicting cravings, building out the menu, outlining the ingredients, remembering what’s on your shelves and in your fridge, and then actually going shopping to between 2-3 different shops to find the best stuff… there’s nothing worse than plating up the meal only to have a […]

My daily life is part of the ‘paw’some world of canine companionship where wagging tails and wet noses reign supreme! I’ve always had a deep love of animals, dogs being at the top of the totem pole. My four fur babies aren’t just pets; they’re bona fide members of my family. I’ve always preached that […]

The human body is an entity to behold: an intricately complex miracle filled with intrigue and mystery; a being beautifully designed to develop and age for decades before it expires. It contains a genetic code whose epigenetic expression can be altered given environmental inputs. And a soul filled with innumerable gifts. Which means it’s a […]

I got divorced this year. It wasn’t a surprise to me, but it definitely changed my life. We left the marriage just as quickly as we entered it twenty-five years ago, celebrating our anniversary in January and divorcing by June. But this article isn’t as much about divorce as it is about running. I’ve been […]

Sometimes a difficult life change occurs which makes it hard to focus, and other times a monotonous daily routine can create a difficult environment for productivity. Either way, people have been seeking solutions to boost their productivity for years. Thankfully, herbal supplements are growing […]

Eating single-ingredient, real, whole foods is one of the best things we can do for ourselves. Doing so naturally means avoiding ultra-processed food-like products, which are always a combination of inflammatory seed oils, sugar, denatured grains, preservatives, and fillers. According to Dr. Robert Lustig, author of Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, […]

Keeping your kids healthy through the summer and school year is key to keeping your own sanity. You know what I’m talking about. When kids are sick, the schedule is thrown off for everyone! No one wants to be up all night battling the stomach bug or fighting fevers only to have a full day […]

“You can’t change who you are, but you can change what you have in your head, you can refresh what you’re thinking about, you can put some fresh air in your brain.” —Ernesto Berteralli Have you ever stopped to think about what you think about? We live in a busy, noisy, and distracting world, so […]

Once upon a time in America, families sat down at the table to eat together. Their meals were home-cooked, prepared with real, whole foods, and often locally harvested or sourced. They spoke of things like “three squares” and “supper time,” and they didn’t need to use the word “homemade” because everything was. In fact, most […]
