What are the best supplements to take, for a 55 year old? I take, like, two handfuls of vitamens and supplements and i think I am overdoing it. Please comment!

Is a glass of red wine daily REALLY okay?

I don’t eat much so why do I keep gaining weight?

I’d like advice on fish oil versus krill oil versus cod liver oil. I know my HDL responds positively to fish oil, but I keep hearing that krill oil or cod liver oil are better and safer. What facts, information, and advice can you give us on this topic? Thanks! DCL

As a pre-diabetic, I love all kinds of fruit. Which fruits should I watch to make sure I am not intaking too much sugar?

I don’t get it. I’ve always eaten a healthy diet and never gained weight. My period stops and now I have fat rolls and a really ugly stomach? Why? What do I need to stop eating?

I’ve been trying to eat organic, but it’s so costly! I’ve cut out processed foods & drinks for 3 years, but it’s unfair that eating healthy is expensive! Junk food should be costly & organic foods should be affordable. It’s not fair that the only the rich can eat & get healthy. Help!

Last year, I made a major dietary change and cut out all grains and most sugars from my diet, thinking that would finally kickstart some weightloss. Now just turned 50, I’m actually a few pounds heavier and just tested pre-diabetic! What gives??

What are your recommendations regarding vitamin supplements? Obviously you want to get as much of your nutrition from a variety of foods in your normal diet, but we all know that’s the ideal and not always possible to achieve. Do you advocate a general multivitamin or specific supplements?

If can make only ONE change, which is best: 1. to get 6 hrs sleep (vs. current 5); 2. to buy/cook/eat homemade food (vs. current on-the-run); or 3. to exercise. I have only about 1.5 hrs per day of time to allocate to ONE of these activities. Currently use that 1.5 to cover household maintenance.
