Dr Serge, Have you ever seen extreme hair shedding in patients with parasites? Is this a common symptom?

Dr Serge I have a friend that has been diagnosed with osteoporosis and does not want to take Evenity. Do you have something natural you recommend she can take?

In a recent study of 184 countries, researchers found that 85% of them are omega-3 deficient, which is linked to rising rates of cardiovascular disease, depression, preterm birth, and neurological decline (PMID: 40520676). That's an ALARMING statistic. But it gets more complicated… The lead researcher concluded that our current food systems are not providing enough UNCONTAMINATED omega-3. I’ve been saying this for years now, and there is no more debating this… Our fish supply is compromised, possibly beyond repair. To most people, that would present a conundrum… Because the logical solution - eat more fish - is the problem. Fish today is heavily contaminated with microplastics and heavy metals (PMID: 30116998). Things like cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and lead, which accumulate as fish age and bioaccumulate up the food chain… Once upon a time, I thought smaller fish like wild salmon or sardines were ok to consume regularly. But I have seen far too many cases of heavy metal accumulation from even these smaller fish to continue thinking this is a good idea. Sadly, too, as bottom dwellers, shellfish also accumulate heavy metals and toxins. Huge bummer for me because I used to LOVE scallops and lobster, but I don't consume these anymore for this reason. So what about fish oil supplements to meet our daily omega-3 requirements? Fish oil is FRAGILE. Putting it in capsules - or worse, liquid form - is a sure way to get it to oxidize. You can't always tell when oils are rancid, but if you've ever experienced those nasty fish burps… that's usually a strong indicator. Unfortunately, it’s a rampant issue in the industry… A 2023 study testing 72 of the most popular fish oil supplements on the market found that 68% of flavored products exceeded acceptable oxidation limits - with flavoring added specifically to mask the rancid taste (PMID: 37712532). So what is the solution? Today's industrialized diets contain roughly 20 TIMES more omega-6s than omega-3s. Historically, that ratio was approximately equal.

You feel it mid-workout. Or lying in bed at night. Or randomly at 2 pm on a Tuesday. The sudden awareness that your heart is doing something different, be it a flutter or a skipped heartbeat. If palpitations have made you nervous about electrolytes, this one's worth a read. The vast majority of palpitations — even ones lasting several minutes to an hour — usually don’t indicate a heart problem. When you significantly change the balance of fluids and electrolytes, your cardiovascular system may need to adjust. That adjustment can briefly make your heartbeat feel faster, stronger, or slightly off — even when nothing is wrong. What does that look like in practice? - Rehydration palpitations: When you add fluid to your system, blood volume increases. Your heart may speed up briefly to accommodate the change before settling into a steadier rhythm. - Dehydration palpitations: When fluid and electrolyte levels drop, blood volume falls. Your heart compensates by beating faster and harder — which can feel like racing or pounding, especially if you're already behind in your workout. - Post-workout flutters: Sweating depletes electrolytes that regulate your heart's electrical signals. - Temporary imbalances can cause irregular heartbeats. So when should you be concerned? - Red flag symptoms that warrant medical attention (and which palpitations are benign) - How sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium each contribute to the heart rhythm - Why does your heart rate sometimes get faster before it slows down The 2 main electrolytes that help with heart palpitations are magnesium and potassium. Make sure you add some to your water!

Lion’s mane is one of the most popular functional mushrooms among health-conscious consumers and researchers alike. With its long history of use in traditional medicine, this edible fungus holds an impressive record of supporting health and wellness, not only as an herbal remedy but also as a medicinal food. Today, decades of research back its documented health benefits. Packed with nutrients essential to the human diet, lion’s mane mushrooms’ nutrient density rivals that of many celebrated nutritional powerhouses. In fact, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that functional mushrooms like lion’s mane can be used as a substitute for vegetables at a 1:1 ratio. This, combined with its high concentrations of health-supporting phytonutrients, makes lion’s mane an indispensable ally in anyone’s wellness journey. 1. provides a wide array of essential nutrients 2. abundant source of potent antioxidants 3. contains health-supporting bioactive polysaccharides 4. supports gut microbial balance 5. helps uplift mood naturally 6. primary sources of hericenones and erinacines which are molecules that protect brain cells
