Excerpt From Lecture By Dr. Boyd Eaton, MD- This is a brief excerpt of a lecture about human genes. Remember, in general, humans do NOT sick because of defective genes. The belief that genetic defects are a significant cause of disease is a non-scientific myth. Don't fall for it!

Another Diet Lecture Excerpt From Dr. Boyd Eaton, MD Another lecture (excerpt) about genes and diet. The genes of humans have NOT changed significantly in the last 10,000 years. Yet almost all of the current, popular, chronic killer diseases were virtually non-existent in our ancestors! Summary: Our current bad health is NOT due to defective genes!

Exercise and Movement

Cross Fit Website This is a website that is very congruent with our philosophy of physical health and fitness. If you want to be fit, you must do those actions and activities that are "genetically-congruent", or similar to those of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. In other words, your activities MUST be many, varied and intense. Nothing else guarantees you health as much as this approach. You MUST start gently and work up slowly.

First Street Yoga in Newberg - This is the Yoga center that Dr. Collins attends. He likes the style of Yoga (Iyengar Yoga) because of its special attention to posture and body position.
