Do Paleo Eaters Really Need Supplements?

When you’re eating an ancestral diet rooted in whole foods that are sourced from wild, free-range, and grass-fed sources, it’s natural to wonder whether you even need supplements. While most people who eat a Standard American Diet are in the habit of popping a one-a-day multivitamin, surely a Paleo diet covers all nutrient bases and even provides optimal levels of intake? The Safety of Supplements Supplements are found in nearly…

The Unintended Consequences of White Noise Machines

In our February/March 2018 issue, we published an article, “The Lost Sounds of Silence,” in which Alison Main explored the harm caused by noise pollution from various sources.

A review published last month in the journal JAMA Otolaryngology lends credence to the idea that one of these sources, white noise machines, may be doing more harm than good, especially for people with tinnitus.

According to lead author Dr. Mouna Attarha:

“In the past 50 years, brain scientists have learned a great deal about brain plasticity—how sensory and other inputs change the brain chemically, structurally, and functionally. Increasing evidence shows that the brain rewires in a negative manner when it is fed random information, such as white noise. Neural inhibition (the ability to filter unimportant information) is reduced; temporal integration times (how quickly the brain processes rapidly changing signals) lengthen; and cortical representations (how information is represented in the brain) lose precision.”

 

The study’s authors go on to urge the use of structured sounds—like speech and music—to mask tinnitus symptoms, rather than the unstructured sound produced by white noise machines.

Debunking Dogma: The Earth Is Flat, Grains Are an Essential Part Of Your Diet, and Losing Weight Improves Health

For decades, we gave our doctors all authority and power, letting them decide for us what we should eat and how we should prevent or treat different diseases. But today, many of us are ready to take our power back, regaining control over our diets and health. We’ve come a long way since Earth was thought to be flat, but there are still many misinformed beliefs circulating around, whether it…
