Accumulate Health

In today's episode, we're talking about the energy drink myth. If you've ever reached for an energy drink just to "get through the day," this one's for you. Because here's the truth: energy drinks don't give you energy — they steal it. Stimulation ≠ Energy Most people feel a jolt after drinking a Monster, Bang, or Red Bull and assume that's energy. Caffeine in these drinks blocks adenosine receptors in your brain — the ones that normally signal it's time to rest. But this isn't literal energy — it's a stress response. You've just told your body, "A bear is chasing me!" when all you're doing is trying to make it through your shift or workout.   ➡️Healthy Meals Made Easy PDF https://go.drwholeness.com/healthy-meals-made-easy -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r 

In today's episode, I'm talking about pinkwashing. Are you seeing pink on products, billboards, and commercials? October is breast cancer awareness month. We're told we're "fighting breast cancer" by buying more stuff. Unfortunately, this isn't support for women — it's pinkwashing or as I like to say, the corporate rebranding of disease for profit. When companies sell ultra-processed foods, synthetic makeups loaded with parabens, plastic bottles laced with estrogen mimics and then slap a pink ribbon on top — they aren't fighting breast cancer. They're asking you to fund it. In today's video, I'm talking about 5 ways women can decrease their risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer. ➡️Healthy Meals Made Easy PDF https://go.drwholeness.com/healthy-meals-made-easy -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r

In today's episode, we're talking about bacteria and the impact artificial sweeteners can have on your gut health. Did you know that you've got more bacterial cells in your body than human cells? Bacteria are the biggest part of what makes us uniquely human. You are a walking bacterial super-organism. Artificial sweeteners—like sucralose, aspartame, and saccharin—aren't neutral because they have no caloric value as so many love to postulate. A study published in the Journal of Nature in 2014 revealed that the altered bacterial balance brought on by ingesting artificial sweeteners triggered glucose intolerance—basically, Splenda or Ace K lay the ground work for diabetes in the future. Artificial sweeteners shift the gut away from butyrate-producing species (our favorite short chain fatty acid) and toward inflammatory ones. This is essential to understand because how those bacteria are balanced decides how our mind and body manifest in life.   ➡️Download 16 Delicious Goat Whey Recipes https://drwholeness.ac-page.com/goat-whey -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r 

In today's episode, we're talking about the unexpected weight gain, disease and dysfunction that can come with aging if the right habits aren't implemented when we're younger. "I don't understand, I have eaten this way my whole life. I haven't changed anything and I have gained 20lbs, my joints ache and I'm constantly bloated." Same foods, same routines, but now you're gaining weight, feeling sluggish, maybe dealing with brain fog, anxiety or joint pain? Every week, same scenario, different patients.

In today's episode, we're talking about the one thing that has transformed my patients' lives more than anything else over the last decade - real food. I don't mean the stuff lining the center aisles of the grocery store — I mean the life-giving stuff. Most of us have been conditioned to see food based on attractive packaging and marketing slogans like fat free, sugar free, organic, Non-GMO. Today, I want to show you why real food matters and how it could change your life.   ➡️Download 16 Delicious Goat Whey Recipes https://drwholeness.ac-page.com/goat-whey -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r 

In today's episode, we are talking about iron deficiency and how it can mimic a heart condition. Heart palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath can all be symptoms of iron deficiency anemia and aren't always indicative of a heart problem.

In today's episode, we're talking about back-to-school hygiene. Countless kids miss months of school and sports seasons because of mono each year, which is brought on by Epstein-Barr virus, also known as the kissing virus. But it could just as easily be the drink sharing virus. Just one sip is enough to go from no strep to strep throat, which will be followed by a round of antibiotics and then increased susceptibility to a host of immune challenges and allergies because of the antibiotics. Let's talk about what's really going on when kids share cups, and how to keep your family healthier this school year.   ➡️Download 16 Delicious Goat Whey Recipes https://drwholeness.ac-page.com/goat-whey -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r 

In today's episode, we're talking about why supposed "healthy" foods can prevent us from losing weight. For example, Siete tortillas or chips are not health-promoting foods. This doesn't mean they are bad, but when we remove everything but the starch component, press it, heat it, sit at our desk and eat it, we can fully expect that the area around our hips and belly button are going to expand. Not to mention these gluten-free starches are essentially devoid of all manner of vitamins, minerals and polyphenols. If wheat berries are a challenge for your body, you will be best served using zucchini for noodles and getting really creative with your baked goods. Today is a great day to check your trades. Many times, in our efforts to get our food lined up in a fashion that promotes a greater level of health, we inadvertently trade toxicity for ultra processed foods. Let me start off by saying there is zero judgement here. While substituting corn syrup loaded yogurt for vanilla yogurt with 28 grams of sugar may not be the best choice, it's at least a sign that you are consciously considering what you are consuming. This is step one to massive health accumulation. ➡️Download 16 Delicious Goat Whey Recipes https://drwholeness.ac-page.com/goat-whey -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r 

In today's episode, we're talking about how food can be our friend. I can't think of a time a person told me they couldn't eat Happy Teriyaki or Dairy Queen, but almost on repeat I have people telling me they can't eat sweet potatoes, fruit, or carrots, because they have too much sugar or carbs. By some psychological magic we have been duped into believing we need to watch out for the cholesterol in eggs, the sugar in fruit, the saturated fat in beef and lectins in seeds, because they are coming for our health. As soon as we think we have it figured out, we find out from the latest influencer that the chemicals broccoli makes to protect itself from predators can cause cancer (they don't). Real food is our friend and greatest ally. It wants to be a reliable resource in building our vitality, protecting our cells, satisfying our palate and extending our lives.   ➡️Download 16 Delicious Goat Whey Recipes https://drwholeness.ac-page.com/goat-whey -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r

In today's episode, we're talking about daily decisions and their power to create a better life tomorrow. How often do we make the same decisions, yet expect different results? It's human nature to think we're the outlier in human biology - we can eat what we want, think how we want, exercise when we want, and expect our health to improve. Daily decisions create the tomorrow we are now living in today. Racing through today expecting our health in mind, body and spirit to magically be different, is the Standard American Way of Life, but it is false hope. We are lying to ourselves if we think we are going to be running around playing tennis, hiking, tossing our grandkid over our shoulder at Disneyland at 75, if we are living based off what we feel like in the moment. In 24 hours, tomorrow is showing up. A week is going to pass. A month. A year will be in our rearview, if we are still on planet earth. Start with 1 push up today. Try meat and vegetables for dinner. Drop your phone in the drawer at 5pm. Memorize one verse this week. Call up that person, you have been meaning to reach out to.   ➡️Download 16 Delicious Goat Whey Recipes https://drwholeness.ac-page.com/goat-whey   -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r 

In today's episode, we're talking about wheat and the myth of "whole grains." Most of us have probably never eaten a real whole grain in our lives. Most of what's marketed as whole grain is actually a refined, stripped-down, chemically reconstituted version of the real thing. If you have ever made true whole grain bread from wheat berries, you recognize that what you bought at the store that said whole grain looks and feels nothing like your home milled true whole grain. And this right here is why we have an endless stream of individuals who are not satiated, have all manner of digestive issues, autoimmunity and are becoming more resource deplete with each bite of "whole grains." ➡️Download 16 Delicious Goat Whey Recipes https://drwholeness.ac-page.com/goat-whey   -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r 

In today's episode we're talking about sprinting vs consistency when it comes to our health goals. What am I willing to do consistently starting today to move my health forward? I could not hold a 5:23 mile pace for 8 kilometers without consistent training to build up that kind of endurance and you are not going to sustain a radically different lifestyle through sheer willpower alone. When you employ the ideology of health accumulation, you build a foundation of habits and routines, that enable you to continue your health seeding journey, even when your feelings are saying, "I could really use a Dr. Pepper right now." The people who win with their health? They are not the ones who do everything perfectly for 10 days every couple years. They are the ones who consistently go for a walk at lunchtime. They are the ones who prepare their food in advance. They are the ones who say I am going to push my beer to the weekend for now, instead of every night. They are the ones who cut their fast food stops from 3 nights a week to one time a month. ➡️Download 16 Delicious Goat Whey Recipes https://drwholeness.ac-page.com/goat-whey   -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r 

In today's episode, we're talking about the disease state we call metabolic syndrome which is coming unless we adjust course. Knee surgeries, diabetic medications, stents to open blocked coronary arteries, arthritis, dementia, erectile dysfunction, loss of opportunity to enjoy activities. This is the way of friends, family, coworkers, you name it. But if you choose to live differently, you can bypass the metabolic mess. Metabolic syndrome is simply cells losing the capacity to create energy and refurbish themselves efficiently. I have 5 places that most of us can look at and see opportunity for life changing metabolic growth.   ➡️Download 16 Delicious Goat Whey Recipes https://drwholeness.ac-page.com/goat-whey   -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r 

In this episode, I'm talking about how we can go from surviving to thriving. For the last 7 years I have been working with a woman to help get her energy, body composition, blood sugar, stress response under control and her life performance optimized. Time does not stop and for this woman body composition is no longer a challenge, her personal fitness capacity has improved massively, her sleep routine is 8 hours a night on repeat, diabetes is no longer her diagnosis, panic attacks for no apparent reason are a thing of the past. She has figured how to care for her children and maintain a work routine out of the home. It required a tweak of life routines and a turtle's pace of positive health movement for a couple years and then finally breakthrough, and now she is multiple years into living and improving her best life.   ➡️Download 16 Delicious Goat Whey Recipes https://drwholeness.ac-page.com/goat-whey   -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r 

In today's episode I'm talking about why I don't use Nyquil, Dayquil, or Tylenol if I get sick. The way I look at it is, the symptoms of acute illness - headache, chills, fever, mucous even coughing, are signs that my body is working in its wisdom to clear infection. These uncomfortable symptoms are not the random rebellion of my body trying to keep me from enjoying life. My body is taking the most precise infinitely complex actions to make sure I survive this viral or bacterial illness. If I were to consume one of the drugs as a way to reduce my discomfort I would be short circuiting my body's intelligence and potentially setting myself up for more immune challenges later on in life. When we suppress symptoms, we are often suppressing the very mechanisms our body is using to heal. ➡️Download 16 Delicious Goat Whey Recipes https://drwholeness.ac-page.com/goat-whey   -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r 

Aging is a direct reflection of personal lifestyle inputs. ​If the body is not being challenged to adapt and is not given real nutrition so that it has the resources to adapt; atrophy, arthritis and incapacity will become the norm. This is the deal if we are not proactive, inactivity will become the state of our body. ➡️Download 16 Delicious Goat Whey Recipes https://drwholeness.ac-page.com/goat-whey   -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r 

In today's episode, we're talking about cellulite. It's a common topic that comes up in appointments. While there can be a hereditary factor to cellulite, it doesn't mean you are destined to have it. The first thing to consider when it comes to cellulite is what is promoting it. I would consider the following 4 promoters of cellulite: Estrogen deficiency Inflammation Sedentary lifestyle Muscle loss Along with the following collagen promoters: Maintain sufficient protein intake Utilize herbs like Gotu Kola Dry brush to support lymph flow Use a collagen powder, an hour before working out ➡️Download 16 Delicious Goat Whey Recipes https://drwholeness.ac-page.com/goat-whey   -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r 

In today's episode, we're talking about diet culture. So many people are trapped in a cycle of dieting, losing, regaining, feeling worse, and starting all over again. Diets do not have the power to transform you. Real success is lasting transformation — and diets rarely deliver that. And by rarely I mean less than 1% of the time. Real change happens not by counting macros but by confronting pain. That's where freedom lives. That's where addiction dies. That's where lifelong transformation begins. ➡️Download 16 Delicious Goat Whey Recipes https://drwholeness.ac-page.com/goat-whey   -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:   🌱 Nutrient Support: https://drwholeness.myshopify.com/collections/nutritional-supplements 📍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwholeness 📍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drwholeness 📍 Subscribe to DRW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r
