Longevity Doctor Reveals the Best Diets for Healthy Aging — and the Change to Make at 65

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .While protein is essential for muscle maintenance and overall health, eating too much protein — especially at a certain age — could be shaving years off your life.

“Animal proteins are rich in arginine, leucine and contain specific sequences of amino acids that stimulate IGF-1 secretion, whereas an equivalent quantity of plant-based proteins are less likely to trigger the same amount of IGF-1,” Dr. Joseph Antoun, CEO of the longevity company L-Nutra, told The Post.

IGF-1 is a hormone, primarily produced in the liver, that plays a crucial role in promoting growth and regulating metabolism.

It’s essential for building muscle when you’re young and especially when you’re older, as muscle loss often accelerates over 60. Because IGF-1 levels tend to decline in adulthood, it’s important to maintain a healthy range to support well-being.

“Before age 30, it is considered healthy to consume certain amounts of meat in a plant-based diet,” Antoun said.

“The same applies after the age of 65, when the body’s food absorption capability begins to decrease and muscle becomes an essential organ for longevity.” (Read more from “Longevity Doctor Reveals the Best Diets for Healthy Aging — and the Change to Make at 65” HERE)

Federal Court Says Christian-Owned, Women-Only Korean Spa Must Allow Trans-Identifying Males

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal appeals court ruled against a Christian-owned traditional Korean spa in Washington, stating that the women-only business must allow the patronage of transgender-identifying males.

The owners of Olympus Spa, a women-only business with locations in Lynnwood and Tacoma, sued the state in 2023, claiming their First Amendment rights would be violated if they were forced to allow transgender-identifying males to enter, MyNorthwest reported Thursday. The spa only allows “biological women,” and excludes men and preoperative transgender-identifying males (those who have not undergone sex change surgeries).

The Washington State Human Rights Commission argued that the spa’s policy violated Washington’s Law Against Discrimination, which has been broadly interpreted to include “gender expression and identity.” The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit agreed with the commission, stating that the state did not violate the spa’s rights to freedom of religion, speech, and association.

“The spa’s religious expression was only incidentally burdened,” Judge M. Margaret McKeown wrote in the majority opinion, claiming that limits on the spa owner’s free speech were necessary to eliminate discrimination.

“We are not unmindful of the concerns and beliefs raised by the Spa. Indeed, the Spa may have other avenues to challenge the enforcement action. But whatever recourse it may have, that relief cannot come from the First Amendment,” she added.

In Attempt to Insult Top Women’s Sports Defender, Simone Biles Confirms Difference in the Sexes

/0 Comments/in , /by

The most decorated American Olympic gymnast in history, Simone Biles, may have bit off more than she could chew over the weekend when she hypocritically took aim at the woman touting the same kind of sex-specific protections that paved the way for her domination on the mat, beam, and vault.

The fallout started when Biles used her Friday night to snipe at prominent women’s sports defender Riley Gaines as a “bully.” Biles was upset that Gaines noticed the Minnesota State High School League turned off the comments on a post celebrating the victory of a softball team whose “star player is a boy.”

“[B]ully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male,” Biles wrote on X, tagging Gaines. . .

Bodyshaming Gaines, a fit 5’ 7” female, by comparing her physique to a male’s is not simply a low blow on Biles’ part. It’s an accidental yet important admission to the indisputable fact that men and women are biologically different.

As Biles’ post suggests, the widely recognized distinctions between the sexes go well beyond the XX and XY chromosomes in DNA. Men, on average, tend to be taller, heavier, and more muscular than women. This is especially true of male athletes, who the American College of Sports Medicine recognize as “stronger, more powerful, and faster than females of similar age and training status.” (Read more from “In Attempt to Insult Top Women’s Sports Defender, Simone Biles Confirms Difference in the Sexes” HERE)

COVID Vax Massacred Unborn Children, Over 80% in First Trimester

/0 Comments/in , /by

An obstetrician and gynecologist has confirmed in testimony to the U.S. Senate that the figure for the miscarriage deaths following COVID-19 shots, demanded by Biden administration officials for pregnant women, “mirrors the effects of chemical abort drugs.”

The stunning news of the threat from the drugs pushed by Joe Biden onto the American public during the China virus pandemic came from Dr. James Thorp, who delivered a “haunting” moment in testimony to the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs.

Thorp explained that women vaccinated during their first trimester suffered an 82% miscarriage rate.

He said, too, that the government knew what it was doing.

He cited an “infamous” Shimabukuro study from the New England Journal of Medicine that claimed a 12.6% miscarriage rate.

“But when you isolate the data for women vaccinated in the first trimester, the miscarriage rate rises to 82%, Dr. Thorp said. This 82% claim remains a topic of debate within the scientific community. If true, ‘This figure mirrors the effects of chemical abort drugs,’ Dr. Thorp lamented,” reports confirmed.

Rogue Judge Says Trump Admin Has to Give Panties and Makeup to Male Inmates

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the latest act of judicial overreach, a rogue lower court judge ordered the Trump administration to restore federal prisoners’ access to transgender-related “treatments” and accommodations on Tuesday.

Writing for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, granted petitioners’ request for a preliminary injunction on the Trump administration’s policy ensuring that the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) expends “no Federal funds … for any medical procedure, treatment, or drug for the purpose of conforming an inmate’s appearance to that of the opposite sex.” The left-wing Associated Press once described Lamberth as “among the toughest judges” when it came to sentencing defendants charged over the Jan. 6, 2021, demonstrations at the U.S. Capitol.

The suit was brought by three trans-identifying inmates “who were diagnosed with gender dysphoria by BOP medical staff,” according to Tuesday’s ruling.

In his decision, Lamberth ruled that, throughout the course of the trial, the BOP is “required to restore and maintain access to those treatment modalities for those who previously received them pursuant to a prescription rendered by BOP staff.” He further declared that “if BOP medical personnel subsequently determine that an existing or future class member is in need of either or both of those treatment modalities, the BOP may not take those treatment options off the table while this dispute is pending.” (Read more from “Rogue Judge Says Trump Admin Has to Give Panties and Makeup to Male Inmates” HERE)

Depo-Provera’s Alleged Link to Brain Tumors Should Make You Wonder What’s in Your Birth Control

/0 Comments/in , /by

Corporate media often smear birth control skeptics for believing “misinformation” about the harms synthetic hormones can have on women’s bodies and minds. A flurry of nearly 300 lawsuits from females alleging that the popular “safe and effective” birth control shot Depo-Provera played a role in their development of brain and spine tumors, however, suggests women should question the effects of any drug sold to them — especially those designed to prevent pregnancy.

Upjohn Company, one of Pfizer’s acquisitions, debuted the birth control shot in the 1950s. Upon injection, the synthetic progestoerone cocktail is supposed to suppress ovulation and prevent pregnancy in women for up to three months at a time.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration initially approved the drug for limited contraceptive use in 1974. Widespread concern about cancer risks, however, forced the FDA to deny it a “general marketing licence” just four years later in 1978.

By 1992, however, the FDA had rubber-stamped Depo-Provera, which was increasingly prescribed to women off-label as birth control under the condition that its manufacturer would conduct “post-market studies of the risk of osteoporosis.”

It wasn’t until years after that Depo-Provera’s official label would disclose a warning about “loss of bone mineral density” and recommend less than two years’ use. (Read more from “Depo-Provera’s Alleged Link to Brain Tumors Should Make You Wonder What’s in Your Birth Control” HERE)

Study: 83 Percent of ER Visits Due to Drug-Induced Abortions Miscoded as ’Miscarriages’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The likelihood that a woman seeking emergency care for a potentially life-threatening complication following an abortion will have her abortion misclassified as a miscarriage has increased significantly over the last decade, a new peer-reviewed study from the Charlotte Lozier Institute found.

The study’s nine authors warn that more misclassification, often due to deliberate concealment of a drug-induced abortion, could deprive women of the emergent care they need for the serious adverse events linked to abortions, more specifically those involving mifepristone.

Researchers interested in how hospitals handle treatment for women who experience complications after abortions examined nearly 29,000 anonymized ER Medicaid claims ranging from 2016 to 2021 among women who had chemically or surgically ended a pregnancy in the last 30 days. They determined that 83.5 percent of the abortion drug-induced ER visits during that period were miscoded, often as miscarriage.

That figure not only represented a steep increase in miscodes from the 2004 to 2015 data, but also confirmed that “visits following chemical abortion are significantly more likely to be incorrectly coded as following spontaneous abortion than are visits following surgical abortion.”

Those post-mifepristone ER visits that were miscoded were also 50 percent more likely to be severe than vists that were coded properly. (Read more from “Study: 83 Percent of ER Visits Due to Drug-Induced Abortions Miscoded as ’Miscarriages’” HERE)

Mom Who Sold Daughter, 6, so Her Eyes and Skin Could Be Cut Out and Used for ‘Medicine’ Gets Life in Prison

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A mom who sold her 6-year-old daughter so her skin and eyes could be cut out and used by a “traditional healer” had been sentenced to life in prison in South Africa.

Racquel “Kelly” Smith, her boyfriend Jacquen Appollis, and their friend Steveno van Rhyn were all handed life sentences more than a year after the mysterious disappearance of Joshlin Smith from outside her home near Cape Town.

When Joshlin first disappeared, her mother was a figure of sympathy, and pictures of the girl’s striking green eyes, pigtails and broad smile were shared across the country.

Smith showed no emotion as her sentence was handed down, bringing an end to an eight-week trial that had to be moved to a local stadium so horrified members of the community could bear witness.

She admitted to selling her daughter to a traditional healer, or sangoma, for 20,000 rand ($1,100), and said the girl was desired for her “eyes and skin,” a witness told the court.

“Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson has died at the age of 79, his family announced on Sunday.

Robertson, famous for founding the Duck Commander hunting company that became the focus of his A&E show, had previously battled multiple health conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease.

The TV personality’s daughter-in-law Korie Robertson announced his death on Instagram Sunday night.

“We celebrate today that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord,” Korie Robertson’s post read.

“He reminded us often of the words of Paul, ‘you do not grieve like those who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him,” the post continued.

Korie Robertson added that the family will have a private service but will share details “about a public celebration of his life.” (Read more from “‘Duck Dynasty’ Star Phil Robertson Dead at 79: ‘Legacy of Love for God’” HERE)

Decorated Marine Amputee Charged with Raping Young Teen

/1 Comment/in , /by

A Pennsylvania Marine veteran, who transformed the loss of his legs in Afghanistan into an asset as a motivational speaker, is facing charges of statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl.

According to court paperwork cited by the CBS affiliate in Pittsburgh, Brandon Rumbaugh, 34, became the subject of an Allegheny County police investigation earlier this month after it received a ChildLine report about the girl, who claimed the veteran sexually assaulted her several times.

In Pennsylvania, it is a first-degree felony and statutory sexual assault if a person has sex with someone under the age of 16 and is 11 years older than the victim.

Rumbaugh was charged and jailed without bond Friday in Uniontown, a city of 10,000 where, until this week, he was reportedly seen as a local “war hero.” The town is located 60 miles south of Pittsburgh.

ChildLine is a state-mandated program that receives and refers reports of suspected child abuse and neglect. It’s a 24/7 hotline run by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. (Read more from “Decorated Marine Amputee Charged with Raping Young Teen” HERE)
