Happy Birthday, Shakeology!

Every great product has a great origin story — and Shakeology is no different.

It all started 10 years ago with Beachbody CEO Carl Daikeler’s hate/hate relationship with vegetables.

“I admit it — I ate like a second-grader. I needed a superfood health shake to make up for years of a terrible diet,” he says.

So he turned to nutrition specialist (and wife) Isabelle Daikeler who teamed up with “ingredient hunter” Darin Olien to find nutrient-dense ingredients from all over the world.

Together, they crafted a formula with a potent blend of high-quality ingredients. The result: Shakeology, the nutrient-dense superfood protein shake that you know and love.

And even if you love vegetables, it can still be a struggle to get your daily greens in.

“This is one of the reasons we created Shakeology. Even if you do eat healthy foods, you’re not assured you’re getting everything you need,” says Isabelle. “Shakeology is a good way to get carbs, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. But it also contains all those “extras” like adaptogens, prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes that can be difficult to get all together in most foods.”

“When we created Shakeology, we knew this had to be a whole new type of shake,” says Olien. “So, we traveled around the world gathering some of the most potent, nutrient-dense, whole-food based ingredients, and exotic superfoods on the planet.”

Botched Circumcision Leads to Penis Amputation for Baby Boy

From  cord blood banking  to  baby naming ceremonies , parents of newborns have a bevy of key decisions to make when it comes to medical procedures and religious and/or cultural practices. For instance, as soon as a couple learns they're having a boy, they might find themselves grappling with the  decision to circumcise—or not . It's an individual, personal decision for every family. Thankfully, when parents opt in, most circumcisions go off without a hitch. However, a shocking story out of Egypt highlights one instance in which the routine procedure went terribly awry. A father from Cairo is speaking out after his son's  penis had to be amputated following a botched circumcision . The Jerusalem Post  reported that the father named Ashraf Helmi says he took his child to Cairo to be vaccinated and was convinced by his sister-in-law and a family friend to have his  1-month-old son Mohamed circumcised during the same doctor's visit. According to  Me...

Reduce Acid-Forming Proteins to Protect Kidney Function

Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem affecting about one in eight Americans, increasing the risks of disease and death even among those with only mild decreases in kidney function. Low-cost, low-risk preventive strategies that anyone can do are needed to address the epidemic of kidney disease. I discuss some of these in my video Protein Source: An Acid Test for Kidney Function . Diet plays a role in kidney function decline. “Specifically, diets higher in animal protein, animal fat, and cholesterol” may be associated with protein leakage into the urine, which is a sign of kidney damage, and, generally, “diets higher in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, but lower in meat and sweets, may be protective” against kidney function decline. In comparison to the diet eaten by our ancient ancestors, not only are we eating more saturated fat, sugar, and salt, we now also eat an acid-producing diet, as opposed to a base-producing, or alkaline, diet. Ancestral human diet...
