This is the best medicine of all!
That statement probably has you pondering. What would you consider to be the best medicine of all? Many people would say antibiotics. They’ve saved lives, but they have also been way overprescribed. As a result, they have destroyed many gut microbiomes and spurred the development of “Superbugs” that resist even our strongest antibiotics and can pose a threat to your life. Others may say proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). In fairness, these drugs do...
Do you have high levels of this “silent killer”?
April is Stress Awareness Month. While I think most of us are pretty well aware of stress, I suspect many people might not know just how harmful it can be, especially when it’s chronic and ongoing. Although the medical community calls high blood pressure the “silent killer,” I think that term better applies to stress, since stress is something we ALL deal with. Let’s look at what stress really is, all the ways it...

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.”...
How to keep your brain sharp (and a fun quiz!)
Back when my dear mother was still in a nursing home (prior to her passing in 2015 at age 94), every time I would visit her, I would pop my head into the doorway of her room and say, “Hi Mom! How are you?” She would always respond, “Well, Sher, I hurt from head to toe (with arthritis), but I still know who you are!” Ah yes, age-related cognitive decline is a very real...
