Dr. Friedman debunks common fish myths.For decades, health experts and doctors have warned us on the dangers of getting mercury contamination from eating fish. In fact, the FDA warns pregnant women to limit fish consumption, because the mercury could be dangerous to the unborn child. The FDA doesn't warn the public of the possible dangers of any other food -- just fish. Then, there are all the media reports on polluted waters and how fish are no longer safe to consume. And of course there are those worried about getting parasites from eating fish. Fish has been labeled as the "black sheep" of all foods. Dr. Friedman is here to tell you... there's something fishy going on with all these negative reports. In this episode, he debunks these fish myths and shares why wild-caught fish is the healthiest food you should be eating. ---To stay up to date with Dr. Friedman’s latest articles, videos and interviews, go to DrDavidFriedman.com.

Dr. Friedman shares why so many people have unhealthy guts and what we can do to achieve optimal health.The gut is often referred to as the "second brain," because it has its own enteric nervous system that works independently of the cerebrum. The gut helps in our decision making, hence the term “trust your gut” and “what’s your gut instinct telling you?” People think that love begins in the heart, but actually, it’s in the gut. This is why you get butterflies in your stomach when you fall in love. Scientists used to believe our emotions originated in the brain but new research shows it may actually come from the gut. Think about that. If you were to hear bad news that a family member was just in a severe car accident, where would you feel pain? Immediately in your gut. This is where the term “gut-wrenching news” comes from. If you are afraid of heights and you look out of a high-rise building window, you’d feel it in your gut. The digestive tract controls our personality, mood, and even our hormones. So, what’s the magical Oz behind the curtain that has so much control over our body? It’s called the microbiome, a group of good microorganisms that live in our gut. When they don’t function properly, this can lead to food intolerance, obesity, irritable bowel syndrome, autoimmune disease, depression, thyroid disease and even cancer.In this episode, Dr. Friedman shares why so many people have unhealthy guts and what we can do to achieve optimal health.---To stay up to date with Dr. Friedman’s latest articles, videos and interviews, go to DrDavidFriedman.com.

Dr. Friedman weighs in on an important topic: What's in your water?If you’re constantly struggling with your weight no matter what diet or exercise regimen you try, the water you're drinking could be to blame. Chemicals called “endocrine disrupters” commonly found in tap water and bottled water can wreak havoc on your hormones, increase your appetite and cause fat cells in your body to expand. In addition, there could be toxins in your drinking water that have been linked to gut issues, food intolerance, autoimmune disease and cancer.In the early 1990’s, a legal clerk named Erin Brockovich received national media attention when she exposed chromium 6 in the drinking water of Hinkley, California. This contaminated water caused liver damage, reproductive problems, birth defects and cancer! Julia Roberts won an Academy award for her portrayal of Erin Brockovich in the critically acclaimed film. Even with the international press coverage of the water contamination and lawsuit settlement ($333 million,) the problem hasn’t gone away. In fact, it’s gotten worse! Chromium 6 has been detected in the homes of 200 million people in all 50 states. Americans spend close to 17 billion dollars a year on bottled water believing it’s a healthier option. Actually, the federal government places more purity, testing, and quality control standards on tap water than on bottled water. Capital One coined the phrase “What’s in your wallet?” In this revealing episode, Dr. David Friedman answers the question, “What’s in your water?” He also shares which water filters are the most effective and the healthiest choice when choosing bottled water.---To stay up to date with Dr. Friedman’s latest articles, videos and interviews, go to DrDavidFriedman.com.

What are your thoughts?Stephanie, Harmon NHI exercise and eat a clean plant based diet but I just can’t lose weight. I don’t eat sugar or any processed foods. I have heard that a lack of sleep could be to blame? I usually sleep 5 1/2 hours a night. Could this be my problem?Susan, Tarpon Springs FloridaMy four-year-old son is contently sucking his thumb. He does this after he touches dirty doors, walls and plays on the floor. I’m worried about him getting germs. Any tips on getting him to stop sucking his thumb? Roberta, San Diego I have allergies. Is there an herb you can recommend that can help? Ron, Tallahassee I’m going to a naturopathic doctor who has recommended I do coffee enemas. He says they will help my bowel movements improve and detoxify my body. It seems a little weird and I thought I’d run it by you first.
