Below is an approximation of this video’s audio content. To see any graphs, charts, graphics, images, and quotes to which Dr. Greger may be referring, watch the above video. The surgical community objects to the characterization of bariatric surgery as merely internal jaw wiring, cutting into healthy organs just to discipline people’s behavior. They’ve gone as far as to rename it “metabolic surgery,” suggesting the anatomical rearrangements cause changes in digestive hormones that offer unique physiological benefits. As evidence, they point to the remarkable remission rates for type 2 diabetes. After bariatric surgery, about 50 percent of obese diabetics and…
If I had a dime for every time, over the past two years, someone asked me for advice on working from home … well, I wouldn’t need to work from home anymore, because I’ve fielded this question a lot. And it’s fair! After all, I’ve been doing the remote work thing, full time, non-stop, and for countless clients (including my work here at FBG) since 2007. I’ve learned a thing or two … or maybe twenty.And one of the most important things I’ve learned is that, wow, I do not like to sit all day. But I also don’t like…

MULTIVITAMINS, ALONG with protein powders and creatine, rank right up there as some of the most popular supplements for men. And that’s not really a huge surprise, when you think about it, because there are so many factors at work with multivitamins.First, there’s a generational factor. You may remember your dad (or grandfather) taking a multivitamin daily. He may have even encouraged you to take one so that you could “grow up big and strong.”Second, there’s the general “that-makes-sense” factor. If you’re going to take a supplement, shouldn’t you take one that contains all the vitamins?And, finally, there’s the cover-your-bases…
By Leo DeBroeck, LMHC, CMHS, MHP It seems throughout social media there are 1,001 different advertised self-help books filled with tips and tricks which claim that self-care cures mental illness. It does not. Lack of self-care is not the cause of a true clinical disorder and, therefore not the cure. You would have just as much luck curing the flu by putting your arm in a cast. Misinformation is everywhere, and it can cause confusion and emotional damage. In some cases, mental health treatment can include the use of therapy books. Therapy books for people of all ages can be…
