I have a secret to tell you
I have a little secret to share with you. Today is my birthday, and not only that, this is my LAST birthday in the 50s. Gulp! And while knocking on the door of 60 may sound a little scary on the surface, I honestly feel great! I’m still running every week, doing full-contact karate sparring (fighting men), and enjoying a consistent high level of energy. Plus I recently got mistaken as my daughter’s sister...
A disturbing trend in our society today
In addition to being the month in which yours truly was born, August is also National Wellness Month. And while that sounds very virtuous and positive, based on my observations, there isn’t a lot of “wellness” going on. The statistics are downright shocking: Nearly 75 percent of us are overweight or obese, seven out of 10 of us take one or more prescription medications every day, over 70 percent have digestive problems and half...

You better do this—it’s a matter of life or death
When I first meet with a client, I typically ask them what’s going on and what their health concerns are. Then I ask questions.

This is followed by what I’ve observed to be the most dreaded question of all—“”What do you do for exercise?” As you can probably surmise,...
Women’s Check-up Day—don’t make this mistake
Today is National Women’s Check-up Day. Taking measures to make sure you don’t have any unknown health issues brewing, or to ensure that your health hasn’t worsened, is certainly a good idea. However, don’t make the mistake of thinking you’re free and clear just because your pap smear and mammogram are negative, or your blood work fell within the magic numbers and your doc gave you a thumbs up. Because even though you might...
Rates of this condition have skyrocketed since COVID
May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, and that topic brings back vivid memories about my father from my childhood. You see, in addition to dying of a massive heart attack at age 58 (when I was 15), my Dad was also an alcoholic. I didn’t understand as a kid what may have been the driving force behind his drinking—all I knew was that I couldn’t have friends over because I was too embarrassed,...
This COVID risk factor is under your control
If the last year has taught us one thing, it’s that having underlying co-morbidities with COVID dramatically increases your risk of serious complications, hospitalization and even death. The “three biggies” here are high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes. But the common denominator underlying all of these is insulin resistance. Insulin resistance drives up your blood glucose level, triggering diabetes as well as stirring up the inflammation in your blood vessels that contributes to high...
