I was changing my daughter’s diaper the other day when something went “POP” in my lower back and I was literally brought to my knees.

Watch the video above to see how I quickly bounced back from a bout with severe lower back pain in just a few days.

I’ve also made arrangements for ALL Ultimate Lifespan subscribers to receive a special program on back pain relief at absolutely no cost (nada). Think of it as my way of saying “Thank You” for being a loyal member of the Ultimate Lifespan community.

Be on the lookout for that announcement tomorrow!

Are we focused on the wrong thing?

What most of us have been lead to believe is just not true.

Conventional medicine would have you believe that lowering your blood sugar is the be-all, end-all solution to type 2 diabetes.

But what if that is a mistake that misses the REAL underlying trigger of not just what causes type 2 diabetes, but all major age-related illnesses?

You see, elevated blood sugar is just a SYMPTOM of underlying metabolic, physiologic, and biochemical processes that are out of balance.

Lowering blood sugar with medications does NOT address the underlying triggers that give rise to the high blood sugar in the first place.

This may surprise you, but many of the methods used to lower blood sugar such as insulin or oral hypoglycemic drugs actually make the problem WORSE.

This happens because these methods actually increase the levels of another substance in your body that is the true trigger of the misery that over 125 million Americans suffer from.

This substance is the single most important trigger that leads to rapid and premature aging and all its resultant diseases, including heart disease, stroke, dementia, and cancer.

But when you shift your focus from trying to manage blood sugar, as millions unfortunately incorrectly do now, to fixing the underlying problems that cause excessive levels of this particularly deadly trigger, remarkable things can occur, such as:

- Weight loss, particularly around the belly…
- Improved energy…
- Better mental clarity…
- More stable, enjoyable mood…
- Better memory…
- Reduced joint pain…
- Improvement in blood sugar and hemoglobin A1c…
- Lower blood pressure and cholesterol…

How to Get this Poisonous Trigger Under Control

Mark Hyman, M.D., a leader in the emerging field of functional medicine who has been featured on 60 minutes before, is holding a special webinar in which he’ll reveal exactly how this poisonous trigger can be brought under control with a special 7-step process.

In this ground breaking webinar, you’ll discover:

- Why blood sugar is NOT the real problem…
- Why type 2 diabetes is NOT genetic and IS reversible…
- How to lower your risk of heart disease and dementia…
- Why these “bugs” inside you may be part of the problem…
- The 7 underlying causes that must be fixed…

Space is limited to only 500, so please secure your spot now to discover what the REAL underlying cause of type 2 diabetes is.

Once you deal with this true underlying cause, you can free yourself to return to the happy, active, normal, hassle-free life that you once enjoyed.

Please secure your spot now before all of the slots are taken.

Sincerely,

P.S. This webinar will introduce you to a powerful new way of thinking about your health. You will realize that what you’ve come to know as a “normal” life full of illness, pain, frustration and just managing symptoms is NOT normal.

You have a choice and there IS hope for every single one of you reading this. The key is to deal with the underlying biological reasons of why you may be sick, fat, tired, depressed or suffering from any other health problem.

This new approach that you will be introduced to is the medicine of the future, but Dr. Hyman will make it available to you today.

Please secure your spot on this webinar now.

A study published in Biomed Central Genomics (BMC) looked at how eating breakfast rich in olive oil might help people suffering from “metabolic syndrome” (a group of conditions linked to heart disease, strokes, cancer and diabetes).

A key symptom of “metabolic syndrome” is carrying a lot of extra weight around your waist (abdominal fat).

Watch the video above as I discuss the BMC’s findings plus share the longevity (and beauty) secret of the oldest women in recorded history, Jeanne Calment.

Do you think this is real or just an Italian conspiracy to increase global consumption of Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

Mercury - Friend or Foe?

Just last week, McDonalds recalled 12 million Shrek glasses because they contained the highly toxic heavy metal cadmium.

This is just the latest in a series of incidents where our bodies are being exposed to heavy metal poisoning.

But while cadmium is dangerous, it’s no where near as toxic as another element that’s all around us:

Mercury

Have you ever experienced one of more of the following symptoms?

• Impairment of the peripheral vision
• Disturbances in sensations (“pins and needles” feelings, numbness) usually in the hands feet and sometimes around the mouth
• Lack of coordination of movements, such as writing
• Impairment of speech, hearing, walking
• Muscle weakness
• Skin rashes
• Mood swing
• Memory loss
• Mental disturbance

The U.S. Environment Protection Agency reports all of the above can be indications of mercury poisoning.

What You Can Do About It

1. Avoid taking unnecessary vaccines. Many of the multi-dose vaccines for seasonal flu or the recent H1N1 virus contain thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative that, according to the Centers For Disease Control, has been “used for decades in the U.S. in multi-dose vials.”

2. Reduce or eliminate the amount of large, predatory fish like tuna and swordfish in your diet.

3. Filter your water through a activated carbon filter, like the popular Brita pitcher. This reduces whole slew of heavy metals, chemicals and pesticides.

4. If your have mercury amalgam (silver-looking) dental fillings, discuss your options of getting them replaced by a biocompatible dentist. Mercury amalgams constantly expose your body to this nasty toxin, which is a source of the symptoms listed earlier.

5. Finally, be extremely careful when handling any common household products that contain mercury, such as old fashioned thermometers and compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL). Follow the EPA guidelines for cleanup in case one of these breaks in your home (notice step 1 is to have everyone evacuate the immediate area).

In his new book, “The 9 Steps To Keep The Doctor Away,” my friend Dr. Rashid Buttar says “no amount of mercury is safe in the body” and details simple methods for detoxifying your body and optimizing your health. I recently finished reading a preview copy and highly recommend it.

What I’m Doing Next

I’ve already incorporated all of my above recommendations into my life, except for one.

As I write this, I’m 45 and have several silver (mercury amalgams) that are at least 35 years old and I’m going to have them all replaced. I’ll see if I can document the whole process and share it in a future edition of Ultimate Lifespan.
