About Me

My name is Michael and I am the writer / blogger for ControlYourImpact.com.

And for the record: I am not a ‘medical professional’.
Instead I study what the Big-Pharma companies do not put in the medical curriculum. ;-)

A Little History
Eight years ago I believed everything my doctor told me, side effects from drugs were not to be taken too seriously, foods sold in supermarkets were safe, the personal care products I used were safe to use, et cetera.

In short: life was simple and ignorance was bliss.

Seven years ago I started working for a company in the alternative health industry. Working there thought me many health lessons and motivated me to educated myself through reading and interacting with sick and terminally ill customers.

As a result I learnt a lot about health, health risks, and preventative measures one can take to decrease the risk of becoming sick. I also learnt that my old believes and behaviors would have seriously shortened my life span.

Control Your Impact
One of my biggest lessons has been that people need to have control over the impact they have on their own health.

In order to control your impact, you need to educate yourself on the concerning subject. Once you know and understand, you can act and control your exposure to for example aluminum, parabens, aspartame, et cetera.

I started to apply this lesson to my own life, and soon found out that there is a lot of information out there. And many online posts/articles have two problems:

  • The information seems compelling, but not in-depth enough to base any decision on
  • References are missing, as a result you don’t know whether you are reading the author’s opinion, facts, or a combination.

On ControlYourImpact.com  I try to provide clear, solid and in-depth information, and list all sources / references.

Biased
I am critical of government organizations like the FDA, and I don’t believe most big companies have their customer’s health in mind. However, the articles provide you with evidence and with both sides of the story.

My goal is to provide you with life-improving, solid information that helps you in your research and self-education.
