leaves-nutrient-deficiencyDid you know that many prescription medications cause nutrient deficiencies? In plants, you can tell the signs of nutrient deficiencies just by looking at the leaves. In humans, symptoms may show up as fatigue, discolored nails, lackluster or brittle hair, or in other ways. Prescription risks and nutrient deficiencies, often shown through symptoms such as these, are the precursors to future ill health.

Prescription interactions are the fourth leading cause of emergency visits in the U.S. If you take a prescription, there are risks that can cause future conditions unless you know how to balance them.

October 29th, 2014 by Joseph Pizzorno, N.D.

jump-for-joyYou could be preparing personalized nutritious foods matched to your unique needs, using food recommendations created specifically for you.

IQYOU is the world’s smartest personal health tool, but it’s also an amazing resource for planning what to prepare to eat.

IQYOU: A New Smart Tool for Individualized Healthcare Solutions

April 2nd, 2014 by Joseph Pizzorno, N.D.

iqyou full colorI’m pleased to join Village Green as a Medical Advisor and will be highlighting information on specific health topics that can directly benefit our readers. To begin with, I’d like to talk about a new program that can provide individualized healthcare information to help optimize your health.

Let’s review the typical healthcare scenario. You get a check-up once or twice a year and receive health feedback, but the only other time you see your doctor or other health practitioners is for managing an ache, pain or sickness.
