Since COVID hit us in March, for many of us, our lives are in turmoil. The way we do our jobs have changed and many of us have to relearn how to do our jobs!

Our family lives have changed. You love your kids, but you don't really want them around you 24/7. That probably applies to your spouse too. You may love them to death, but it's a different story when they are around you all day long.

We have been living in fear the past half a year. The media has led us to be very afraid of catching the Coronavirus. Which is why we are mostly staying at home, wearing a mask when we go out. We are no longer connected to our friends.

When is the last time you had a good laugh...

Hi Everyone – I’m Andy and I’m Sandra.  Welcome to our second session in our 4-part series of addressing ‘What Makes Us More Vulnerable to Illness’.  Last time we looked at what we eat, and discussed how to optimize the foods we choose in our diet to help us achieve optimal wellness.  Today we are looking at sleep.  And through decades of studying it, researchers claim that getting sufficient rest is a critical piece of the long-life puzzle, and in playing a pivotal role in people getting ill.

First, let’s have some fun with numbers…

How about two hundred and twenty-five thousand?  Well, that’s the number of...

What's Functional Health?

Hi everyone – it’s Andy from the Foolish Couple, cofounder of the Foco Academy, nutrition specialist and success coach.

We are both functional nutritional practitioners, and our respective practices are very complementary to each other. We’ve been friends for a while now but this is the first time that we do a formal interview of you.

We started releasing our ‘Boost your Immunity’ blog series in response to the Covid-19 Coronavirus. So, what do we think are important for boosting your immune system?

Know Your Numbers

First thing is to know your numbers. We started off by talking about metabolic efficiency and how it is important to track your health numbers and what your optimal numbers should look like.

Banish Fear

In the second episode we talked about fear. You are probably aware of how fear can heighten your stress level, but fear could also lower your immune system. To help you face your fears, we have included an exercise in episode 2 that may help you release those fears.

Eat the...

Never in our lives were we more concerned about our health. And that is, of course, thanks to the COVID-19. The virus is of course highly contagious and fatal but it has also raised our awareness of just how important it is to keep our immunity systems strong.

When it comes to the viruses, our best chance of survival is not about how much money we have, how powerful we are, or how influential we may be. The only thing that matters is our health.

If there’s one good thing that comes out as a result of the COVID-19, I would say it is the increased awareness of how our health affects not only us, but our relationships, our lifestyles, and our economy.

We started releasing our blog...

'Shelter In Place' Order

Talking about Health. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, chances are that you have at least heard about the CORONAVIRUS or COVID-19. And most likely, your life has somehow been impacted by this latest strain of the coronavirus. For us, we’re on to day 4 of our ‘Shelter In Place order’ which basically means we’re supposed to stay at home all day. When you go out stocking up to stay at home you may have  noticed that you have trouble buying toilet paper.

Why toilet paper? I don’t know for sure, but from what some psychologists are saying, it is because we want to feel like we are doing something that will...

One of our first and favorite personal development books is one that was written by our mentor Darren Hardy, and that book is called The Compound Effect (you can get the book here). The basic idea of the compound effect is that, hypothetically, if this penny is going to double in value every day. Then today, it is worth 1 cent. Tomorrow it is worth 2 cents. Which doesn’t seem like a lot.  But 30 days from now. This little penny will become $5,368,709.12.

While the compound effect sounds intriguing and awesome when it comes to money, it doesn’t sound so good when it comes to viral diseases. Which, we now know, we are in an international state of emergency due to a new strain of the ...

WHO just declared Coronavirus an international health emergency

That’s not a question. WHO is the World Health Organization. Many people are getting sick from this virus every single day. It went from just a handful, to a 100 the next day, 1000 the following day, and it keeps growing exponentially. The last official count from China as of today is 20671 cases worldwide spread over 27 countries. Researchers in Hong Kong estimates that the true number infected can be over 75,000 people.

We’ve always said that we live in a toxic world, a world full of heavy metals, toxic chemicals, viruses and other harmful substances. And in the year of 2020, we seem to have 20-20 vision on just how toxic our...

A few days ago, I talked about chronic inflammation, specifically cellular inflammation, which is inflammation on the cellular level. I talked about the three biggest culprits that is causing cellular inflammation today, they are heavy metals, such as lead and mercury, and the toxic chemicals that amplifies cellular damage, which is Glyphosate, and Glyphosate is everywhere.

Glyphosate is in our soil which trickles down to all our foods, it is also in our main water supply, so not only are we eating Glyphosate, we are drinking it, we take showers with it, we brush our teeth with it. It is also in many of our skin care products and even the food that we feed our cats and dogs are loaded with Glyphosate, which...
