Dr. Keesha’s Paleo Oven French Toast Recipe

My fabulous father and me on his 72nd birthday!

My father has had Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia since 2004. Despite receiving chemotherapy, he came to visit me last week with bruises and muscle pain. He told me that every night for the last two years he wakes up 7 times a night with muscle pains! That must just be terrible, I thought!

Within 24 hours of staying with me, he slept through the night – no muscle pains. Why? Because I made all his food gluten-, dairy-, and refined-sugar-free. He was no longer in pain because his body wasn’t reacting to foods it can’t process properly! [Read more…] about Dr. Keesha’s Paleo Oven French Toast Recipe

Inositol: 7 Ways This Natural Helper Improves Your Mental, Hormonal and Metabolic Health

By Keesha Ewers

Inositol is a game changing mood-enhancing nutrient that doesn’t get the same press that serotonin and dopamine get…but it should because it affects their production.

Inositol is a natural supplement that effectively helps with a variety of mood, weight and hormone issues that both women and men frequently struggle with. I use it in my practice for women with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome), eating disorders that include binging, depression, anxiety and metabolic weight issues.

Keep reading if you want to know how to balance your body weight, feel happier and less anxious and irritable, and hormonally balanced. [Read more…] about Inositol: 7 Ways This Natural Helper Improves Your Mental, Hormonal and Metabolic Health

Leaky Gut is Responsible for Autoimmunity… AND Low Passion Drive!

By Keesha Ewers

The word is finally getting out. I have been saying for several years now that the digestive tract and the brain are connected, hence the term “second brain” when referring to the gut.

Evidence has been piling up showing that diet and gut bacteria influence our mood (FOOD=MOOD), our thoughts, and our behavior. [Read more…] about Leaky Gut is Responsible for Autoimmunity… AND Low Passion Drive!

How to Prevent and Even Halt Alzheimer’s Disease?

By Keesha Ewers

Over the last 10 years, I have had an increasing number of my patients coming into my office worried about Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia.

There are two reasons that I see for this increase in fear around loss of cognitive function and memory:

As we age, we begin to be confronted with care-giving aging parents or we might be noticing an inability to remember details the way we used to when we were younger.
The prevalence of Alzheimer’s dementia is indeed on the rise.

There are over 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s today.

Alzheimer’s is the 6^th leading cause of death in the United States, an increase of 89% since 2000.

Alzheimer’s dementia is now considered an autoimmune disease.

How to Gently Detoxify Your Liver?

By Keesha Ewers

Today I want to get started on gently detoxifying your liver. No matter how hard you try to keep your diet and environment pure, you just can’t avoid all the harmful toxins in the air you breathe, the water you drink and the soil your food is grown in. It’s a global problem, and, unfortunately, there’s no escaping it.

Toxic overload can seriously impact your health and make you feel miserable. This occurs when your liver — your body’s primary organ of detoxification — just can’t keep up with the task of eliminating the toxins you’re exposed to, daily.

One easy, gentle way to help the liver out is to use a castor oil pack at night when you are sleeping. Use the instructions I have given you here and for the next 2 weeks place a castor oil pack over your liver and sleep with it. Your liver is in the upper right area of your abdominal area. Part of it hangs out under your last couple of ribs. Place the castor oil pack over that upper right quadrant.

Your Mood is a Sign of Your Food.

By Keesha Ewers

Do you find that you’re anxious a lot, to the point what I call the hamster is going on the wheel; you can’t get it to stop with your thoughts, having a hard time going to sleep because of anxiety, even panic attacks?

I’m Dr. Keesha Ewers, and I’ve helped hundreds of people just like you with that problem navigate it and move through it.

I would like to give you tips on how to affect your mood in a way that’s natural. There are a lot of things I do in my medical practice. Neurotransmitters, adrenal glands, and hormones do all kinds of things to help you balance but one thing you can do at home is to look at your food.

Remember that food equals mood always.
