10 Natural Ways to Fight Aging (Without Surgery or Toxic Creams)
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. While there’s nothing wrong with wanting to look your best, when cosmetic procedures begin to limit natural facial movement—or drastically alter appearance—it’s often a sign that things have gone a step too far....
5 Simple Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp as You Age
Still Sharp at 94 — and How You Can Be Too When my mother was in a nursing home prior to her passing in 2015 at age 94, every visit began the same way.I’d pop my head into her room and say, “Hi Mom! How are you?” She’d smile and reply, “Well, Sher, I hurt from head to toe—but I still know who you are!” Age-related cognitive decline is a very real and scary thing....

And probably leave you even sicker than you were before! Taking charge of your healthcare includes having 2-way conversations with your doctor where questions are asked and...
The health scare no one talks about
While it seems to be the current focus of our national health agencies to scare the bejeezus out of people talking about the flu, COVID, monkeypox and whatever other viruses they can point a finger at, there is a glaring failure in how these agencies “serve and inform” us. I’m talking about chronic disease. Currently, half of all adult Americans, and shockingly 54 percent of our children, have at least one chronic disease (according...
Are your meds making you sicker?
Although there are times when medications are necessary and appropriate, as a society we’ve gone way overboard and are increasingly relying on drugs to “create health” for us. I’ve heard people say things like they are in “good health” because their blood pressure is controlled with beta blockers, their cholesterol is under 200 with statins, proton pump inhibitors keep their acid reflux quiet, and sedatives help them sleep. THAT’S good health? No—that’s a chemically...
