Hairy Tongue

As a dentist, I encounter a variety of oral health issues, some of which can be quite alarming to patients. One such condition is "hairy tongue," a benign but often distressing condition that can affect the appearance and texture of the tongue. Despite its dramatic appearance, hairy tongue is usually harmless and can be effectively managed with proper oral hygiene and care. In this post, we will explore what hairy tongue is, its causes, symptoms, treatment options, and prevention strategies.

Alcohol Substitute for Keto and Carnivore Dieters and Hangover Haters

Many of us in the health community are stuck when it comes to get-togethers, especially informal parties where alcohol is the expected agent for breaking loose. It's hard enough sometimes to refuse offers to try some of the processed foods hosts and guests offer, but refusing alcohol seems to kill the mood outright when refused. As a result, I usually drink alcohol at such times so as not to be a killjoy, and I always regret it the next day. Additionally, drinking can kick us out of ketosis and mess with our metabolism. I am happy to report that there is an alternative that gives you the feeling of alcohol with none of the toxic effects or hangovers associated with alcohol. This post will cover what it is and how you can experience it.

My Carnivore Diet Disaster and Recovery

As many of you know, I started the carnivore diet on January 1, 2020, hoping to give it one year. The year sped by without me experiencing any significant issues being a carnivore. I cured two chronic orthopedic problems (thumb and elbow) and improved my body composition, sleep, mood, and more. I achieved near-perfect health and wellness. I decided to start adding plant-based items, including some alcohol back into my diet and see how I fared. My goal was to add variety to my diet, not to improve my health, as it was about as good as it gets. It went poorly. This post will cover what I learned about adding things back into my diet.

Carnivore Diet Updat 4: I Have Achieved All of My Goals

Today is Day number 286 of my carnivore diet journey, and I have only eaten animal-based foods. I did have a few small departures. I started the diet with two specific goals: eliminating chronic medial epicondylitis and tenosynovitis in my left thumb. I have officially achieved both goals. I have realized numerous benefits as well and would like to share them in today’s post.
