When Dr. John Lewis discovered the incredible benefits of polysaccharides on improving cognitive function, reducing inflammation, and improving overall well being, he changed the direction of his career.   Dr. Lewis is a leader in clinical research, a former Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and is currently the Founder and President of Dr Lewis Nutrition.  You can reach Dr. Lewis at his websites https://drlewisnutrition.com/ and https://dailybraincare.com

Some of the highlights Dr. Lewis shares:

  • "Health Care" means taking care of our health everyday - it's not just treating symptoms with pharmaceuticals 
  • The United States has spent over 4.5 Trillion dollars on a "Health Care" system that brings unsatisfactory results
  • Nutrition is the most effective tool to care for our health and well being
  • How a 12 month study on Alzheimer patients showed that adding certain polysaccharides improved cognitive function and quality of life
  • Are all sugars bad?  No some types are beneficial for our well being
  • Monosaccharides (one sugar) like high fructose syrup harm our body
  • Disaccharides (two sugars) like sucrose or table sugar harm our body
  • Polysaccharides (many sugars) like those found in aloe vera and rice bran benefit the body in multiple ways
  • Research shows that polysaccharides improve cognitive function and reduce chronic inflammation
  • 70-80% of Americans are overweight or obese
  • Our best health care plan is to eat well and supplement proper nutrition
  • How our immune system is like the conductor of an orchestra keeping our organs and systems balanced and regulated
  • Our body wants to be healthy
  • We don't have to wait for a diagnosis of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, or other chronic illness to act - prevention is key
