Choline-The Missing Essential Nutrient
Over 90% of us are not getting enough choline. If you are menopausal, vegan, pregnant, nursing, having memory issues, or have fatty liver, you are especially at risk of not getting enough choline, and its active metabolite, phosphatidylcholine. Choline was only recently discovered in the 1930s. Choline was classified as an essential nutrient after discovering […]
COVID-19 Vaccine Prep!
I get the question often, “Are you getting the COVID-19 vaccination?” My answer is very affirmative, “Heck yes!” The benefits outweigh the risks, especially the long-term effects for many people, including myself. Even though I had COVID in the fall, with all the uncertainty around the new variants and the possibility to get COVID more […]
Always Hungry / Never Full: How to Stop Eating Like a Bottomless Pit
Written By: Morgan Knull If you’re anything like me, after you finish your lunch you could eat it all over again! Much of the time, you just don’t feel full, even though you’ve eaten plenty. You’ve probably even eaten to the point of feeling sick before (but that’s different). Why am I such a bottomless […]
How to Run Circles Around an 800 lb. Gorilla
In business, the 800 lb Gorilla is the undisputed leader in the field. When it comes to pharmaceutical-grade supplement sales, which were originally only available through medical providers, Amazon is now the gorilla. It’s taken over not just sales of professional brands in nutraceuticals, but every field of business, really. They have a great business […]
Back to School with the 4-Legged Stool
Back to school with what? The famous (at least in my mind) 4-legged stool! These are what I think of as the foundational supplements to improve immunity, focus, and energy, and where most of my patients were all started on their path to health. This really applies to adults as well, but since it’s that […]
Surgery Recovery
A friend of mine has a son that has had multiple shoulder injuries and she was asking about alternative approaches to surgery. Even though there are some great new options that are not surgical, sometimes surgery is necessary, so I started thinking about protocols I would set up for pre and post-surgical treatments. The […]
Walking The Walk
I often experienced in my years of practice, people who told me that they were doing everything right. But when I passed them in the grocery store aisle and peeked in their grocery cart (my wife says I am a nosey bloke), they were just talking the talk and not walking the walk. I think […]
Lithium is the Trace Mineral Your Brain Desperately Needs
Lithium is a highly misunderstood wonder mineral. When we hear about lithium, we associate it mainly with its high dose utilization in bipolar disorder. We are not talking about lithium at this level, but rather at a microdosing level. Lithium is an essential mineral for humans. People, especially with mood problems, do better when […]

Detox and Why The Hype?
Detox is a hot word in the “get healthy movement.” I know, even as a doctor, I didn’t truly understand what “detox” meant before becoming functional medicine trained. Where did certain foods fit in? Did I have to get some kind of enema? Did I have to fast? Detox is not that complicated and quite […]
Intestinal Fortitude
You will fail, Kara. Those were the exact words I heard Tuesday. You can’t do all of this. It’s too much. It’s too hard. Your circumstances are too unfavorable. You will fail. What do you mean I will fail? I was insulted. I became angry at this person I called a friend. My gut […]
