Dr. Joseph Mercola Quotes
“Your waist size is such an important predictor of health because the type of fat that is stored around your waistline—called “visceral fat” or “belly fat”—is related to the release of proteins and hormones that cause inflammation, which can in turn damage your arteries and affect how you metabolize sugars and fats. For this reason, visceral fat is strongly linked to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, and other chronic diseases. Seeing your waist size come down is a great indicator of improving health.”

“Epigenetic research reveals that our lifestyle choices—the foods we eat, the supplements we take, the exercise we pursue, and even the emotional content of our daily experiences—are all involved in orchestrating chemical reactions that activate or deactivate parts of our genome that will either code for outcomes that threaten health and pave the way for disease or create an internal environment conducive to longevity and disease resistance.”

“Instead of citing scientific studies to justify mandates for masks, lockdowns, and vaccines, our medical rulers cite WHO, CDC, FDA, and NIH—captive agencies that are groveling sock puppets to the industries they regulate.”

“Ironically, the very advances that represent all that is modern in the world—hand sanitizers, treated water, factory farming—have created their own set of diseases. For example, triclosan—an antibacterial chemical used in many soaps and hand sanitizers—has been shown to kill human cells,26 and even the FDA admits it acts as an endocrine disruptor in animals.27 When combined with chlorinated water, it produces chloroform28—a probable carcinogen according to the EPA.29”

“Until the last hundred years or so, we have not had 24/7 access to food. (Of course, in some parts of the world, this is still the case). But modern technology has now made it possible for so many of us to eat food around the clock. The problem is that even the highest-quality, most nutrient-dense food will inhibit your ability to achieve optimal health if you eat without a break. You simply must regularly refrain from continuous eating if you are going to activate your body’s innate repair and regeneration mechanisms.”

“While the U.S. ranks number one by a huge margin in healthcare expenditures, it ranks 70th in quality of health. Clearly, our current methods aren’t working! Obviously, the traditional healthcare system fails to effectively address chronic disease. As more and more people develop chronic disease—even multiple chronic diseases—doctors are increasingly unable to provide solutions that actually work.”

“Avoiding food for three hours before going to bed optimizes your mitochondrial function and helps prevent cellular damage. After all, sleep is when your body repairs itself and performs important detox functions. If it is forced to digest a meal while you sleep, it will forgo these vital processes. That’s why I typically stop eating four to six hours before I go to bed, although a three-hour window is also beneficial, and probably more doable for most people.”
