Bathroom habits are such a personal subject, aren’t they? The intimate relationship between you, your toilet bowl, and your toilet paper isn’t something most people feel comfortable discussing—especially when the conversation turns to how often you go, how easily it happens, or what your bowel movements look like. But it probably won’t surprise you that I believe this is a very important topic of conversation. So… let’s talk about your number twos. What’s Considered...

  When the average person doesn’t feel well — and rest, fluids, and OTC remedies aren’t cutting it — the next step is usually a doctor’s visit. The expectation?Answers. Relief. A clear path forward. Unfortunately, that’s not always how it plays out.

  It’s January 6, 2026, which means if you made New Year’s resolutions, you’re officially on Day 6 of “New year, new me.” How’s it going? Hopefully your commitment to positive change is still intact!

Currently, 60% of American adults live with at least one chronic disease, and nearly 40% have two or more. Even more alarming? Chronic...

  On this very special “Christmas Eve-Eve,” I would like to share this heartfelt message with you: Many people tend to get caught up in all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, but please try not to get stressed out. Christmas will be just as special even if you don’t get all the cookies baked or the cards sent out. (FYI—I just mailed my cards two days ago!) A casual dinner is just...

Years ago, I spoke at an anti-aging health conference and hosted a booth in the exhibitors’ hall. As attendees stopped by to ask questions, one thing became clear very quickly: many people were searching for their fountain of youth through surgical procedures.
