Celebration of Life

The health and wellbeing of our family and friends are top of mind amid concerns about the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). As such, in an effort to mitigate risks, we’ve made the decision to postpone Dr. Willix’s celebration of life that was scheduled for April 2nd. In the interim, please stay vigilant and healthy! And, please refer to this link as we’ll update as we learn how things are taking shape in the coming weeks/months: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/jupiter-fl/robert-willix-9067727

The #1 Reason Gluten Ages You

Want to Stop Feeling Your Age? We continue our series on the 7 Nutritional Pitfalls with Accelerated Ager 4: Gluten Found mostly in wheat, rye, and barley, gluten is a protein that wears out your metabolism and immunity, making you appear older inside and out. By simply removing it from your diet plan, you can fight aging and allow your body to work naturally to maintain your vitality. The number-one reason gluten ages you is that it produces oxidation. When gluten is oxidized in your body, the sulfur-containing amino acids it possesses build a network between the fibers and cause protein to harden. When this occurs, parts of the body (like your skin) lose their suppleness and elasticity, leading to pain and sagging skin. In his bestseller Grain Brain, David Perlmu er, MD, describes the influence of gluten on increasing the incidence of neurologic diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, Parkinson’s, and ALS. I believe this is because gluten produces inflammation in the body. For anti-aging (and not just treating celiac disease), adhere to a gluten-free diet. In the spirit of Valentine's Day I'm pictured here with my one and only, France. Happy Valentines!

Highway to Well - Not with AC/DC, but with Zoe & Erica

Zoe & Erica (above) are the dynamic duo that founded one of the first cold pressed juice brands, Blueprint, back in 2007 - that business earned them a legendary status in what is now a multi-billion dollar cold pressed juice industry. They’ve been in the wellness business for more than 12 years and recently launched Highway to Well, a wellness-focused business podcast. In describing their show, they’ve said, “We interview some of the most notable, intriguing and controversial guests at the still-raging party of wellness!” So, when they reached out to me, I happily accepted! We had a great time talking all things aging, what keeps us vital, and how to rejuvenate ourselves. Please give it a listen and let me know what you think of our place on the Highway to Well!
