10 smart tips for a longer, healthier life
As much as I would like to say otherwise, despite all our scientific and medical “advances,” we’ve reached a very dismal point in our human existence. For the first time ever, children of today are not expected to live as long as their parents did. There are many factors that are contributing to this grim fact—overuse of pharmaceuticals, environmental toxins, degradation of our food supply, and unhealthy lifestyle habits are some of the major...

An important lesson you need to learn
I pride myself on being a very compassionate, empathetic health professional, but sometimes even I get frustrated. Especially when a client says to me, “Oh, I’m too far gone.” Or, “It’s too late for me.” Because NOTHING could be farther from the truth! I’ll use last night’s Super Bowl as an example. Even if you’re not a sports fan, hear me out because this is important. The Chiefs were trailing the 49ers 20-10 well...
