This post, as many Vital Jake posts do, came because of a conversation I happened to have with a guy at church. He said he felt bad, and that he had been waking up with itchy eyes and a headache. I asked him how often he changed his sheets, and he was stumped. He didn’t […]

Good news for people who love barbecue, hot dogs, burgers, and steak cooked on the grill: It pays to eat your veggies. The key to this story is something called “PhIP.” A few years ago, noted Johns Hopkins scientist Bill Nelson, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, began investigating its role […]

A broken heart. Shoveling snow. Being a weekend warrior. Eating like a pig, no offense to pigs. What do these things have in common? They all have the potential to cause a heart attack. They could kill you. “But wait!” you may say. “I exercise. I have a good diet. Gosh darn it, […]

In 2002, when I ghostwrote the first edition of The Paleo Diet for Loren Cordain, I thought we were writing sacrilege when he said people need sunlight. That’s because our view of what’s normal and natural has gotten skewed. “Oh, no!” I thought. “Must have sunscreen. Sunscreen good, sun bad!” Just a few steps away […]

Imagine: John Wayne in True Grit, charging bad guys on horseback, with the reins in his teeth, a Colt revolver in one hand and a Winchester rifle in the other, and suddenly, he veers off and heads for the woods. He’s acutely regretting that cup of coffee he had back at the campfire. Well, […]

“Hey, buddy! It’s me, your prostate. How’s it going? I know you’re busy, but … I’m just going to put it out there. You’re ignoring me. You never call, you don’t even text — and you don’t get me checked.” Okay, that wasn’t actually your prostate, but let’s face it, for most men the prostate […]

If you use smokeless tobacco, or know a guy who does and want to help him, this is for you. Obviously, the best thing you can do is quit. But if you can’t do that, these three words may save your life: Move your chaw! I’ll explain, with help from Jason Campbell, D.D.S., a Prescott, […]
