I have an interesting story to tell you

I have an interesting story to tell you

  In addition to what I believe to be sound dietary advice, one of the most common recommendations that I give to my clients and readers is to:  Get some form of regular exercise! Trust me, that doesn’t win me any popularity contests.  Exercise is loathsome to a lot of people, and many will do just about anything to avoid it. But I nonetheless continue to fervently tell people to exercise…even if my words fall...

Do you have high levels of this “silent killer”?

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...

How to keep your brain sharp (and a fun quiz!)

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...

How to slash your risk of dementia

How to slash your risk of dementia

  People sometimes joke around about forgetfulness or “CRS disease” as we age, but in reality, mental decline (dementia) is no laughing matter. Currently one in three senior citizens dies with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, and over six million Americans are living with the condition. Even more disturbingly, that number is projected to rise to 13 million over the next few decades. And it’s not just old age!  While dementia is typically found...

8 Signs you have leaky gut (and how to heal it)

8 Signs you have leaky gut (and how to heal it)

  Hippocrates, the Father of Modern Medicine, once said about 2,000 years ago, “All disease begins in the gut.” He was right on.                                                                             When you consider all that, your gut does for you, it’s easy to see why Hippocrates zeroed in on it as the hot spot of health (or lack thereof). Your gallant gut: Houses 80 percent of your immune system Breaks down your foods so that you can use them for nourishment Absorbs...

Is this why people are maniacs on the road?

Is this why people are maniacs on the road?

  Is it my imagination, or are people more filled with road rage and aggression than ever before? This thought occurred to me as I was driving from Central NY to Connecticut recently.  I can’t tell you the number of close calls, cut-offs, flip-offs and tailgates that I witnessed on Interstates 87, 90 and 95. Are people just maniacs these days? Well, there may be another answer to consider… [[big3]]Your daily dose of rage[[end]] While...
