Day 5/60 Serology Testing – The PSA Score

What is PSA and what’s the Significance?

PSA stands for prostate-specific antigen and is a protein produced by the prostate gland. There is no specific normal or abnormal level of PSA in the blood, and levels may vary over time in the same man. In the past, most doctors considered PSA levels of 4.0 ng/mL and lower as normal. Read HERE for more details.

Men Over 50 Beware

Men, beware of prostate cancer since it’s the number one cancer for men over 50 years of age.

Tell me more about the featured meal today?

Bread on the 60-day program is usually off-limits, but there are some exceptions. I saved the label so I can share with you what is possible for a bread compared with the commercial offering. Almost all commercial breads contain refined grains, oils, preservatives, GMOs, and other undesirable ingredients. In this meal, I toasted up two slices and chopped it up to place in an organic red leaf salad, along with organic avocado, organic raw pistachios, home-made pesto (pine nuts, walnuts, and fresh basil), organic dried tomatoes, and organic garlic hummus. Wow…. delicious!
