The #1 condition doctors fail to diagnose
Let’s play an “imagine game” for a moment. Let’s say you had been suffering from symptoms that included: fatigue, chills, hair loss, cold feet and hands, brain fog, depression, constipation, nervousness, mood swings, loss of appetite, anxiety attacks, weight gain, irregular heart rate, low energy, and high blood pressure. So you go to your doctor and after a complete workup including bloodwork, you’re told there’s nothing wrong. Oh, and probably are given meds for...

What you should be doing for National Self-Check Month
I recently saw that February is “National Self-Check Month,” so I decided to do some peeking and see exactly what the self-check experts thought that should entail. The objective of National Self-Check Month is to remind people to “take charge of their health.” They provided reminders such as quitting smoking, getting regular exercise, limiting alcohol consumption, losing weight, reducing stress, and doing breast self-exams, but I didn’t see a whole lot of “taking charge.”...

I don’t care where you live or what...

The worst diet advice I’ve ever seen
As a holistic nutrition coach, when I see the horrible diet advice out there that people are given or see on “health” sites or in magazines, it makes me seethe. No wonder nearly 8 out of 10 of us are sick, overweight and medicated. And one of the biggest problems is that many sources of dreadful advice appear to be credible! For example, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends calorie-free drinks (AKA artificial sweeteners),...
