Do you sabotage your health like this?
In my professional practice, I’m sometimes entertained by the reactions I get when people consult with me about their health issues and the first question I ask them is, “How’s your diet?” I frequently get the deer-in-the-headlights look, or they look down at the floor.

How to stay healthy and happy through the holidays
Thanksgiving is next week, so it’s safe to say the holidays are upon us! And while they should be a festive time, sadly, for many people they are instead filled with sickness or depression (or both). But there are some very good reasons why that happens. First, the holidays bring about stress for a lot of people.

In my 30 years in the health and nutrition field, I’ve heard a variety of excuses for someone refusing to change their habits in order to improve their health. Things like: "I don't know how to cook." "My husband won't like it if I make healthy meals." "I don't have the time." "Eating right is too expensive." But by far the saddest one I've ever heard is: "It's too late for me." Because this...
If you have a decent diet, do you need a multi-vitamin?
Now there is a good question that does not have a simple answer! It used to be that most people who had a “balanced diet” did not have much of a need for a multi-vitamin, since they would usually get what their bodies needed from their foods. Multi-vitamins were primarily for people whose diets were less-than-stellar, or perhaps people who for a variety of reasons were not able to fully absorb or use nutrients...
