Can you believe it’s June already? My favorite month of the year by far. The rainy spring days are in the past (for the most part), warmth and sunshine abounds and it just feels like the summer will last forever.
May was well, May here in western MA - some beautiful days but lots of rain and clouds as well. Except for one day, it didn’t bother me too much as I was able to finish the first draft of my e-book about heartburn.

You can read it here.
Warning though. If you’re a traditional foodie, stay away from all sharp objects when you read it. In fact, I would just stay away from all objects. Go out to the middle of a field or something.

Digestive problems? Millions of Americans are suffering with poor digestive health these days brought on by not only poor dietary choices but poor dietary advice as well. The mainstream nutrition advice to eat low-fat, eat more whole grains and eat more fruits and vegetables can actually exacerbate many digestive problems.
Yesterday I made another TV appearance here in western Massachusetts where I discussed five tips to improve your digestive health. Most of these tips are not tips your doctor is telling you about. But they’re really important, especially if you’ve been experiencing more chronic, long-term digestive problems. Keep Reading…
