Hi Steve!
I literally just found your website and podcasts. Amazing stuff. Wondering if you have ever done a podcast with Dr. Wentz (founder of Usana) . I am a Holistic Nutritionist currently about to switch over from Usana’s products – to something with less filler and with use of Liposome delivery. I’m curious about how they compare – just for the peace of mind. I’m already confident my choice is the right choice – but i find researching Dr. Wentz products and Usana in general – they tend to “beat around the bush”. I look forward to your response/opinion – to hopefully give me some clarity!
Cheers,
hillary!
Thank you for the kind words.
I have never done an interview on Usana, so I really can’t speak to any issues. There are lots of good brands and products. Just ask questions and then try products. Evaluate your results and adjust as necessary.
I usually find that if a company or product is questionable then it usually is deficient in some way. Not being open and transparent is a red flag for me.
Good luck in your search and best wishes for the holidays.
Steve
Hi Steve!
Web surfing Red Yeast Rice & CoQ10 and came upon your website and I am glad I decided to take a look. I’ve got you bookmarked now as an important resource. Thank you for all of your work and obvious dedication.
I searched for “water” but nothing came up…there are so many “healthy” waters on the market that I wanted to get your take on them…choices can be daunting.
Thank you,
Paula
Hello Paula,
Here is my take on water.
I have tried and looked into various water types. I prefer spring water if I have to buy it (like when traveling). I prefer filtered water as my home treatment system.
I have used and no longer use distilled water for drinking. I prefer my water with some minerals and taste.
I have rejected alkaline water as there is no good evidence or science behind the claims and many credible sources have rejected the claims made by alkaline water proponents. It sounds good but the science is lacking. It is an expensive way to get water with no scientific basis.
Depending on your water source you could consider various filtration methods and what you need to remove. I have well water and we only use a carbon filter at the drinking water source. (our refrigerator). For other needs you could consider reverse osmosis, or systems designed for your water source.
Hello Graham,
I am aware of Stem Cell. I am happy that it has helped you. That is always the bottom line. What would you like to discuss? I’m not interested in distributing if that is your interest. Otherwise tell me what you would like to discuss so I can be somewhat prepared.
Thanks and best wishes.
Steve
