Optimizing Babies' and Mothers' Health During Pregnancy

Wellness begins in the womb, and an embryo's health depends on the toxicity and nutritional status of the mother.

Ulcers (duodenal and gastric), H. Pylori

Your digestive system produces strong acids and juices that are designed to help break down the food you eat so that its components can be used to nourish the body.

In ulcer patients, this defense of the stomach's lining against stomach acids has broken down somehow, so that...

Gold Standards

Many times during the last three years, people have expressed concerns about the cleanliness of restaurant food in general and about what Ecopolitan is doing about it in particular. So here's the scoop:

Allergies and Food Sensitivities

Question: Dr. T, thanks for writing my college a letter explaining my special health needs arising from my chemical sensitivities and food sensitivities and my related dietary requirements. As you know, my nutritional demands depart radically from the School Lunch program, which derives its inspiration from the SAD- Standard American Diet. I received some resistance from the school officials, who...

Way Too Much Protein

Many of you may have heard Dr. T talk about protein and how too much protein can be compromising your health.  He uses the analogy that protein is dirty fuel and it is like running it through your engine without a catalytic converter.  There are many reasons to not over consume on protein and I would like to comment and share additional reason to the rhyme.

Hello Dr. T, I have just returned from the Humanitarian Nepal Trek and Thailand Retreat. First thing I did was go to Ecopolitan for a great an-cooked meal (after eating cooked food in Nepal for awhile, although it was vegan and delicious, I felt very thankful to be again with fresh raw foods... but I would have done the trip again in a heartbeat!). With this letter I will attempt to describe some...

Iris A. (March 2013 Trek)

I have been thinking and dreaming about the trip. It sure had a profound effect on me. I came with somewhat different expectations to what I found and it has been a journey of discovery for me. Nature helped me connect to myself. I treasure those moments of walking in solitude in the woods. Free of western distractions, my thoughts and feelings had raw and true quality. 

F.H. from New York

I have been significantly overweight most of my adult life and at one time or another tried just about every diet out there. On some of them, I would lose 20 pounds or so and then it would be too hard to keep up the diet. This all changed less than months ago, when I began to eat mostly raw - vegan foods, with Dr. T's encouragement. The difference this time is that this is not a diet; it is a...

Nepali Nectar - by Amanda Heidemann

As the plane soared through the beauteous expanse frosting the tips of the mighty Himalayas and then glided across the towering Kathmandu valley so crowded with metallic and candy-colored structures and girdled by a sea of cascading terraces, I remained unaware that the theme for the rest of the journey had already been put in place - immensity. Immensity of not only the external landscapes...
