A disturbing trend in our society today
In addition to being the month in which yours truly was born, August is also National Wellness Month. And while that sounds very virtuous and positive, based on my observations, there isn’t a lot of “wellness” going on. The statistics are downright shocking: Nearly 75 percent of us are overweight or obese, seven out of 10 of us take one or more prescription medications every day, over 70 percent have digestive problems and half...

Is a healthy diet enough for good health?
I recently consulted with a client who reported that a close friend of hers had suffered a heart attack. She understandably was shook up for her friend, but what the friend’s doctor said to her patient shook ME up. Apparently, this woman had been taking a multi-vitamin and her doctor actually scolded her for it, saying she doesn’t need “that crap” and her diet will give her “all the nutrients she needs.” Sorry doc,...
Women’s Check-up Day—don’t make this mistake
Today is National Women’s Check-up Day. Taking measures to make sure you don’t have any unknown health issues brewing, or to ensure that your health hasn’t worsened, is certainly a good idea. However, don’t make the mistake of thinking you’re free and clear just because your pap smear and mammogram are negative, or your blood work fell within the magic numbers and your doc gave you a thumbs up. Because even though you might...
Rates of this condition have skyrocketed since COVID
May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, and that topic brings back vivid memories about my father from my childhood. You see, in addition to dying of a massive heart attack at age 58 (when I was 15), my Dad was also an alcoholic. I didn’t understand as a kid what may have been the driving force behind his drinking—all I knew was that I couldn’t have friends over because I was too embarrassed,...
8 Causes (and solutions!) for your digestive misery
I recently read an article which reported that nearly 8 out of 10 of Americans suffer from digestive misery at least occasionally, and about 25 percent of us suffer from some form of GI distress on a regular basis! So, in other words, you’re basically a weirdo if you don’t have gut problems! Am I the only one who’s wondering what’s going on?! Why in the name of heaven are most of us gassy and bloated, belching...
A new cause of Alzheimer’s discovered
One of the most heartbreaking and frightening conditions that people may face is Alzheimer’s disease. Although most people associate Alzheimer’s with old age, that’s not entirely accurate. It can begin in the brain 30 years before symptoms appear, and the characteristic amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients have been detected in young adult brains. As we age, our brain weight drops—up to 10 percent by age 80. In addition, blood flow...
