Want to know how to really prevent cancer?

Want to know how to really prevent cancer?

  February is National Cancer Prevention Month and ribbons in all colors of the rainbow are popping up everywhere to raise awareness about our #2 killer. Organizations like the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute and the Mayo Clinic are regurgitating the same old prevention strategies—don’t use tobacco, eat a healthy diet, exercise and go for annual screenings (like mammograms)—even though those screenings expose you to cancer-causing radiation! Oops. Plus now vaccines for HPV...

Your best protection against heart disease (Hint: it’s not statins)

Your best protection against heart disease (Hint: it’s not statins)

  February will soon be upon us, and in case you forgot, February is Heart Health Month! Unfortunately, much of the hoopla that will be bombarding us for 28 days has very little to do with actual heart health! As usual, we’ll all be reminded to wear red, to control our cholesterol (with statins, of course) and avoid saturated fats while using “heart healthy” vegetable oils.

Make 2019 the year you finally lose that stubborn weight!

Make 2019 the year you finally lose that stubborn weight!

I just had a conversation with a woman who asked me what my New Year’s resolution was and I said I don’t have one. She seemed perplexed, but began complaining that she had been dieting like crazy since New Year’s and only lost 2 pounds.  Then she said to me, “You’re so lucky.  Look at how skinny you are.” Hold it right there. The lifestyle habits that I CHOOSE 365 days a year are what...

Read this before you take Prozac or Xanax!

  The National Institute of Mental Health currently estimates that over 47 million American adults suffer from anxiety, as well as 23 million adolescents.  In addition, depression affects 16 million adults and over 3 million kids.  That brings the tally up to about 89 million people or nearly one third of the US population that is dealing with mental health issues. If that doesn’t scare you, I don’t know what will. [[big4]]The current trends in...
