This was a recent letter of praise that we received, it is the thing that drives us on.  It might just be why I have continuously been pushing my shoulder to respond fast, so I could get back to it (even when I shouldn’t be).  We have an incredible burden, simply because so many have such a great need for health. Thanks to Ashley for sharing! I just wanted to let you know that you have an incredible ministry and I have already been blessed because of Healthsprout. My son, Samuel, is 3 months old and spent 3 weeks in […]

This Wednesday night we will be giving you the scoop on the most controversial of all health issues, vaccinations.  So personal this topic, we have had parents who have chosen not to vaccinate, who have been called a bad parent by both pediatrician and nurse. We have some great knowledge for you, so that regardless of what you choose, you can do so in confidence.  It is important to get that this is your issue, no matter who you are or what your station and/or position in life.  Child, young adult, new parent, parent with teens, empty nester… trust me […]

Have you ever stopped to think about the philosophy of your health decisions? I know it is an odd concept for many, but for so many of you I know it is common. But do you realize how odd we are to the rest of the world? I consider myself to be a bit odd compared to the culture when I make a health decision, because I believe like all decisions, they should come from a philosophical perspective first and foremost, and honestly find it hard to understand how someone with a strong philosophical basis on life wouldn’t apply that […]

FROM MAXIMIZED LIVING: Article  Photo courtesy of istockphoto / thinkstock The newest edition to the Burger King’s menu is the Bacon Sundae, made with vanilla ice cream, chocolate fudge, caramel, bacon crumbles and a slice of bacon. With 510 calories, 18 grams of fat and 61 grams of sugar, it’s like eating a second Whopper.  Given the abundance of bacon burgers and bacon-wrapped steaks, Americans obviously love bacon despite its association with heart disease and various cancers. If you’re one of the many who enjoy an occasional slice of bacon, here are four tips for checking labels and avoiding. – […]

HUGS!  Today, we will work (yep this is work) to give some hugs out to you.  But the real labor of today, is to see if we can get you to share something with us.  If you are an online reader only, then please use the link: HealthSprout Team DrEric DrLevi  These links will open up your email editor so you can send an email to us.  What should it say?  Whatever it needs to.  If you are in the office, grab a pen and write on the back bottom of this sheet of paper, and turn it in to […]

I am so non-functional. This shoulder thing is a serious thorn. Add my right bicep tendinitis from overuse, and I am pretty useless at times. I think I am getting closer, but it has been a long road. The pinnacle of my non-functionality was not when my wife repeatedly took the heavy bags for me (thou that can be hard to swallow), I think back to Bush Gardens eight weeks ago, and how she carried the kids for me then… Still not the worst of my non functionality. Nope. That came this week. I was up in Cashiers NC at […]

  The article and VIDEO can be seen here: http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/05/30/Do-Your-Family-Members-Not-Believe-You-About-Health.aspx     Dr. Mercola here. In today’s video, I’ll be sharing an interesting story with you about my own family. A few weeks ago, I went to a birthday party for my niece. I hadn’t seen my family for a while, and it was a nice opportunity to get together with them. As I was sitting next to my small niece, I found it really interesting that she was having some dessert, some really great strawberries, and she was dipping them in piles of Equal, or NutraSweet. It was a real […]

I would.  I’d love to take everyone of you on the journey of health that I go on everyday.  It is interesting living in my shoes to say the least.  I don’t purport to know more, or stay more committed than everyone when it comes to health, but I do know my efforts go beyond most.  So what. Really, so what.  Does it matter that much?  I am sitting here writing this sprout Monday morning at home, I am going to be a little late to work today, because of this, and my daughter waking up early and hanging out […]

I thought I would chime in. Take the time to read the article below on heart health, that was written by a medical doctor. Not once did she mention taking drugs to make your heart risk go down. Not once did she focus on the contents of the blood and the medication to reduce them. Not once did she mention genetics and cardiovascular screening. She said on word…”Love”. Dr. Levi Modern Life Takes a Toll on Our Hearts Mimi Guarneri, M.D. We all know that eating loads of saturated fat and leading a sedentary lifestyle can be damaging to our […]

We have a lot planned for the summer.  And it all starts with you. Before we really get into you however, I just want to take a second to talk about those who have served us, and those who have died in service, or because of their service.  To me that is love.  Even if it wasn’t done out of love, it is still love.  Christ’s greatest commandments, love God and one another.  To go into battle willingly, where you know that death is very possible, is love. I like Memorial Day for that reason.  It makes me think about […]
