A sneaky factor behind our obesity explosion

  Here’s an eye-opening statistic--currently, nearly eight out of 10 Americans are overweight or obese. And those numbers are not going down.

A very preventable cause of chronic disease

A very preventable cause of chronic disease

I remember having a conversation with a woman who told me how fortunate she felt to be in good health in her early 60's.

Tired and depressed?  This could be why!

Tired and depressed? This could be why!

 Let’s play a little imagine game for a moment. Let’s say you went to the doctor and reported that you’ve been feeling tired lately, you get indigestion a lot, and you feel depressed. You get tested for low thyroid, iron, hemoglobin A1C, cortisol, mono and maybe even get an endoscopy and everything comes back normal.

The taboo subject that most people dread

Few words in the English language conjure up as much dread as EXERCISE.
