9-Steps to Eating On Purpose


By Dr. David Jernigan of Hansa Center For Optimum Health




How many times do you just wolf-down your meal in a mad rush to finish before getting back to work?

How many times are you eating out of obligation to just eat?

How many times do you see undigested food in your stool?

Gross, I know!

Do you have food allergies?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions it is likely you need to retrain yourself in how to eat on purpose.

Flu Season is coming...NOT!

Flu Season is coming.....NOT! 

By: Dr. David Jernigan

Do we really believe Flu-viruses and Bacteria are stronger in the Winter time?



Every year the pharmaceutical/medical mass media marketing begins in the Fall-season and proceeds through late Spring in fear-mongering everyone into believing they must get flu shots.


When considering the fact that historically influenza viruses have killed many people throughout the last hundred years it would seem justified to think we should be thankful for vaccines.


The truth is that no virus or bacteria can replicate out of control and cause disease in an optimally healthy person of any age!

Eating Isnt Rocket Science!

Eating Isn’t Rocket Science!

To listen to the giants in the dietary industry eating has become a very scientific endeavor. “Do eat this…Don’t eat that” has made many people numb to the whole eating-healthy craze.


While scientific research has helped us better understand what foods promote optimum health, the list of foods that should dominate your plate is much easier to remember than you might think.

Respecting the Wisdom of the Body

The Case of the Poisoned Apple


Jane’s fever started right after school let out for the day. She felt tired, achy, nauseous, and had diarrhea. She walked into the kitchen where her mother felt her forehead. It was hot.

“Doctor Mom” reached to open “the cabinet,” the ubiquitous cabinet in every home that contains all the left over bottles of medicine. “Fever…Tylenol, Nausea and diarrhea…Pepto-Bismol,” she itemized under her breath.

With the pills taken, Jane was able to make it to soccer practice, but skipped dinner since she wasn’t hungry and took another round of the medicines her mother had given her earlier and went to bed feeling a bit better. By morning she was up and ready for school with most of her usual bounce and enthusiasm. Jane’s mom dramatically wiped her brow and uttered a “Whew…Crisis averted!”

But was she really better?
