Feel blue? Putting on weight? Tired? This could be why

  When it comes to your health, many times the cause and effect relationship is abundantly clear. Cut your finger as you’re slicing vegetables?  You can count on seeing blood (maybe even stitches). Come into contact with something you’re allergic to?  You’ll be sneezing and your eyes will water in no time.

  Here are some sobering statistics for you today: A whopping 40 million adult Americans are affected by varying degrees of anxiety.  That’s just under one out of five of us!

Slash your risk of dementia with these simple tips

Tired and depressed?  This could be why!

You get tested for low thyroid, iron, hemoglobin A1C, cortisol, mono and maybe even get an endoscopy and everything comes back normal.
