We frequently are asked what we do in a typical day for meals, movement, and stress management. In this episode of The Health Edge, John and Mark take a look at a typical day from a self-care perspective.

In this episode of The Health Edge John and Mark respond to a few recent questions:

• Does eating fat make you fat?
• Is there any value to earthing or grounding? What is it and how does it work?
• What are some good lifestyle interventions for hastening recovery from surgery?

In this episode of The Health Edge John and Mark explore the science of risk-benefit as it relates to the daily use of multivitamin-antioxidant supplements. The discussion focuses on an important concept (hormesis-delicate balance or homeostasis of biologic systems) of managing free radicals from excessive oxidative stress which is known to accelerate aging and increase disease risk. The question is whether the evidence supports daily “multi” use as an effective strategy to prolong life, protect a poor diet, and to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, etc. Enjoy!

John and Mark build on their last podcast exploring the importance of “sulfation” and it’s importance on vitamin D structure and function.

They raise questions regarding what levels of vitamin D may be harmful and explore potential differences between vitamin D from a supplement and that from UV light exposure.

Vitamin D levels and cardiovascular mortality risk

John and Mark discuss the fascinating process of “sulfation”, the attachment of sulfur to molecules throughout the human body e.g. lining of our blood vessels, vitamin D and cholesterol as the “carrier”.

They explore the importance of adequate sulfation in detoxification, producing brain neurotransmitters, lowering cardiovascular risk, reducing inflammation, etc. They also touch on the impact glyphosate has on the sulfation process.

John and mark conclude with lifestyle strategies to enhance more effective sulfation.
