Recently, I spoke on a panel for PBS TV at the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) convention in Boston.  The topic was dementia.

There was a woman with mild cognitive impairment on the panel. Her condition is sort of like pre-Alzheimer's disease.

Everyone on the panel -- including the Harvard neurologist -- agreed that memory loss is NOT a normal part of aging.

The sad part was that the panel didn't have much to offer people in the way of prevention. Their only solution was just a very bad and pretty ineffective selection of drugs with lots of side effects.

But there is another way to think about brain aging.

The brain responds to all the same insults as the rest of the body -- stress, poor diet, toxins, lack of exercise or sleep, nutritional deficiencies, and more.

So all we have to do is give the brain a tune-up and we can see miracles. 

In a minute, I will tell you about a few miracles in my practice. 

It's the most important molecule you need to stay healthy and prevent disease -- yet you've probably never heard of it.

It's the secret to prevent aging, cancer, heart disease, dementia, and more, and necessary to treat everything from autism to Alzheimer's disease.

There are more than 76,000 medical articles about it -- but your doctor doesn't know how address the epidemic deficiency of this critical life-giving molecule.

What is it?

I'm talking about the mother of all antioxidants, the master detoxifier and maestro of the immune system.

It is GLUTATHIONE (pronounced "gloota-thigh-own").

We're now in Week Seven of our journey to UltraWellness.

In last week's blog, we reviewed UltraWellness Key #5 and the importance of detoxification for optimal health.

Today, I'm going to take you one step closer to UltraWellness by telling you how you can rev up your metabolic engine and boost your energy to avoid getting tired, help you think more clearly and to help you to live longer and healthier.

**Remember, the more detail on exactly how you can boost your energy and the entire video course on all 7 of the keys to UltraWellness has started and is available to you right now at no charge by going to the website below:

Let's get started.

"I didn't know how bad I felt until I started feeling better." 

That's a statement I hear from my patients every day.

With the right approach, they go from feeling ill or just "okay" to a state of what I call UltraWellness.

And over the next 7 weeks, I'm going to give you the tools you need to start experiencing UltraWellness, too.

(Please note:  I am also in the middle of developing a more in-depth video tutorial series, but it's not ready yet.  However, I am accepting sign-ups now if you are interested.  Please go to http://www.ultrawellness.com/p?i=1 for more details)

But first, you need to understand why you -- and so many others -- may feel sick and not even realize it.

If you've got limited time, you can watch the video version of this blog by clicking on the big play button on the video at the top of this blog.  I am very excited to finally be able to add video to my weekly blog, so I hope you enjoy it.

If you do enjoy it, please feel free to share it with your friends. 

One favor...since this is the first time I've done a video blog, I'd love to get your thoughts.  How does it look?  Does it play ok for you or did you have problems viewing (if so, tell me what operating system you are using, type of computer and what internet browser)?  Do you like the content?  Do you have any suggestions for making it better?

Please let me know your thoughts by clicking the Add a Comment button at the end of this post and posting your thoughts -- I'll be sure to read every single one.

Can just a few vitamins optimize the function of ALL your body's systems?

The answer is yes!

This week, we're going to talk about one of the most important biochemical processes to your health -- and how you can keep it running at its very best with supplements and other measures.

Unfortunately, many people are affected by one or more of the 8 factors that affect this biochemical process, so this is a widespread problem.

The good news, however, is that there are at least 12 things that you can do right now to optimize this critical biomechanical process that may have a dramatic impact on your health.

But first, I'd like to tell you about two of my patients with seemingly unrelated health problems that were actually caused by this biochemical process that was broken in each of them, and a study done on Chinese babies who had a birth defect known as spina bifida.
