recommendations to people. Leaving behind his day-job as a rocket scientist,
he decided to become a full-time naturopathic doctor and hasn’t regretted his
decision since. To discover more about Dr. Cage’s amazing health journey and
his views on personal health responsibility, read our exclusive interview.

compounds.
Calcium, perhaps best known for its
benefits to strong bones, has emerged
as an important component in diet sup-
port. A study reported in the British
Journal of Nutrition found that obese
women on a low-fat diet supplemented
with calcium lost six times more weight
than those given a placebo instead of
calcium (Nall). The researchers noted
that inadequate calcium intake triggers
appetite, leading to overeating, while
supplementing calcium triggered feel-
ings of fullness (Nall). Appetite control
isn’t the only benefit offered, however.
Other studies have found that calcium
supplementation triggers hormones
that inhibit lipogenesis (the forma-
tion of fat) and stimulates fat burning
(Parikh 2003).
Potassium plays multiple roles in
weight management as well. First, it
plays a critical role in the conversion

ATP Facts—The Indispensable Energy Molecule


1. All fuel sources of nature produce ATP, which in turn powers
virtually every activity of the cell and organism.
2. The body is comprised of roughly one-hundred trillion human
cells, with each cell containing about one billion ATP molecules.
3. These one billion cells supply energy that is sufficient for that
cell’s needs only for a few minutes and must be rapidly recycled.
4. The total human body content of ATP is only about 50 grams,
which must be constantly recycled every day.
5. ATP supplies energy not only to heart muscle (for blood
circulation) and skeletal muscle (such as for gross body
movement), but also to the chromosomes and flagella to enable
them to carry out their many functions.
6. Without ATP, life as we understand it could not exist. It is a
perfectly designed, intricate molecule that serves a critical role in
providing the proper size energy packet for scores of thousands of
classes of reactions that occur in all forms of life (Bergman 1999).

5 Steps to Maintain Urinary Health

1. Don’t wait too long to use the restroom—Withhold-


ing urination can put added pressure on your bladder, which
can lead to infection.

2. Pay close attention to hygiene—Avoid harsh soaps


and make sure to shower thoroughly after swimming in
pools or lakes to minimize exposure to bacteria.

3. Avoid foods that may irritate the bladder—If you


have an overactive or sensitive bladder, avoid carbonated
and caffeinated drinks, and alcoholic drinks.

4. Stay hydrated—Drink plenty of water throughout the


day in order to keep a normal urinary pattern. This works to
remove any waste products in your system.

5. Ask the right questions—If you suspect something is


wrong, talk to your doctor (Scroggins 2013).
