Thank you for visiting DrSears.com.  Medicine is not as complicated as we think, and likewise nutrition is not as simple as we are led to believe.  My goal at DrSears.com is to make you think about both medicine and nutrition from a new perspective.  That new perspective is based upon understanding the molecular basis of inflammation.  It’s about how inflammation is the underlying cause of chronic disease, and how our diet can either reduce inflammation or increase it.

In the final analysis, it’s all about your genes,  especially how an anti-inflammatory diet, like the Zone Diet, can turn off inflammatory genes and simultaneously turn on anti-inflammatory genes that promote cellular rejuvenation, repair and healing.  Your ability to control inflammation becomes the molecular definition of wellness.   This is why I hope you will use DrSears.com as your destination site to get the latest breaking information on anti-inflammatory medicine and its impact on 21st-century health care.

Q: In Dr Sears book “OmegaRx Zone” he recommended another omega-3 product comparable in quality to his omega-3 product. It's been several years since the book was written. Are there any other omega-3 products that are pharmaceutical grade as well besides the two mentioned in his book?

A: If you go the Web site www.ifosprogram.com, you can find a number of fish oils that have been tested for concentration and purity and have received a five-star rating. Very few of these oils are available in the U.S. Keep in mind that each lot of fish oil is highly variable (like wine) so you have to make sure that every lot sold by a company has been tested. The types of fish oils generally available to the consumer in health-food stores are lower in EPA and DHA concentration and have significant less purity. The marketers of these fish oils are unlikely to pay the price for testing and, of course, would not want their results posted on the web for all to see.

More than 15 years ago Dr. Sears starting working with Greg Glassman, the founder of CrossFit, to integrate his Zone Diet with the innovative fitness programs Greg was developing for total functional fitness. At the time, the Zone Diet and the CrossFit training methods were both highly controversial since they challenged the basic assumptions of how diet and physical training should be done. Once Greg started introducing the Zone Diet concept into his training program, he immediately recognized the powerful synergism of the two programs. Fast forward to the present.

Your book “The Zone” has been the best at explaining what goes on with my body and diabetes.  For years my providers and the folks in the diabetes clinic have not been able to explain what was going on.  I was given handouts and told follow this and life will be good.
