I speak at a lot of events and always have people approach me afterward to discuss their health concerns.  Although the health issues can run the gamut (believe me when I tell you!), far and away the number one goal for people is weight loss. I’m not surprised.  Nearly 3 out of 4 of us are overweight or obese, so clearly, losing weight is a concern for many. What is mind-boggling is the fact that...

People typically look to the drug and personal care industries to help achieve their health goals…but end up disappointed or downright harmed as a result.

So naturally people don’t know what to eat anymore, and when they ask me for advice, the simplest way I can put it...

  Although they can admittedly be a bit embarrassing, urinary problems are actually quite common and nothing to be ashamed of! Millions of people in the US report at least occasionally dealing with urinary symptoms including incontinence, urgency, dribbling and leaking, so if urinary problems have you “running,” you’re certainly not alone.
