“We keep living longer and longer and are not equipped to do that without help from supplements for brain health. The brain controls appetite and mood. Dr. Eric Braverman’s nutritionist extraordinaire Christina Santini gave me vitamins and food tips. Wow! You saw the difference no?”
“Top professionalism and commitment - 100% recommendable.”
“Santini helped me get my body back in balance in all sorts of ways that I wasn’t aware of myself. And what I love most is that it is all grounded in science and valid studies. Santini always does her own deep research before approving and recommending anything to her clients, and this makes me feel completely safe in the belief that I am exactly where I need to be with my health.”
Drugs like Ozempic are increasingly used for weight loss purposes. While calories in vs. calories out do matter and most of us are simply too sedentary, the cause of obesity is complex. Obesity is one of the biggest challenges we face today for various reasons - only some of which we are in control of. Some of us suffer from emotional overeating/ binge eating disorder that requires a completely different treatment approach than conventional dieting advice offers. Some of us have loads of environmental toxins in our body i.e. microplastics messing with our hormones. Some of us are not sleeping properly - poor sleep is directly linked to insulin resistance and weight gain. We really need to get better at understanding our own body and which things we can control. We also need to get better as practitioners in the health care system at working cross disciplinary together and understand the interplay of various factors to better help the client. Calorie counting is simply not cutting it anymore.
This summer I was in Germany to give a lecture on how best to protect yourself - from a functional medical point of view - against the harmful effects of EMF radiation from our smartphones, wifi, baby monitors etc.
At present, it is common knowledge that men's sperm quality i.a. is significantly affected because we carry our mobile phones. close to the body.
More and more research is coming out about far more disturbing consequences of radiation damage - and no matter how inconvenient we may think it is to deal with, it affects our own and our children's health regardless of us closing our eyes to inconvenient facts.
Watch my talk on the health issues surrounding #EMF exposure and how to protect ourselves via functional medicine strategies.
This is part 3 out of 3 of a series I’ve written for Danish health magazine LNS about why we struggle with weightloss resistance.

PQQ is an antioxidant and based on recent research, it shows to be more powerful at fighting free radicals than vitamin C - this directly impacts and lowers inflammation and stress in our body.
A small, 8-week study in 17 people found that taking 20 mg of PQQ daily resulted in significant self-reported improvements in sleep quality and fatigue. This is thought to be mainly due to its effect on normalizing cortisol levels.
While it may seem contradictory, clinical research suggests that is helps to minimize the damaging side effects on your gut microbiome, if you take certain probiotics together with antibiotics.

“The medical community has been slow to adopt targeted nutritional supplementation for mental health and healing—a form of rejection and resistance dubbed “The Tomato Effect.” But a new paradigm—a “redefined” perspective—is slowly but surely gaining ground.
For decades, I’ve struggled to understand the tragically slow pace that medicine adopts to the role of diet and nutrition on brain health. This article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) from 1984 has given me insight on why and it may be illuminating for you too. Please let me know your thoughts.
In the article I’m referring to, titled “The Tomato Effect,” the team of Dr. James Goodwin (internal medicine) and Dr. Jean Goodwin (psychiatry) wrote:
“The tomato effect in medicine occurs when an efficacious treatment for a certain disease is ignored or rejected because it does not ‘make sense’ in light of the accepted theories of disease mechanism and drug interaction.”
