A REAL breast cancer prevention plan
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and if I had my way, I would change that to Breast Cancer Prevention Month. Because billions of research dollars have been raised over the last several decades to “find the cure,” yet we are still faced with the fact that cancer is our number 2 killer. So, what have all these billions of dollars bought us? Lots of pink ribbons? And unfortunately, it appears very little...

Women’s Check-up Day—don’t make this mistake
Today is National Women’s Check-up Day. Taking measures to make sure you don’t have any unknown health issues brewing, or to ensure that your health hasn’t worsened, is certainly a good idea. However, don’t make the mistake of thinking you’re free and clear just because your pap smear and mammogram are negative, or your blood work fell within the magic numbers and your doc gave you a thumbs up. Because even though you might...
Can we talk about a taboo subject?

Because one of the most common reasons to see a GYN is a vaginal yeast infection! Ah yes, most...
Never get another urinary tract infection again!
I remember back in 1980 during my first year of college, I got the one and only urinary tract infection that I’ve ever had in my life.

Breast cancer--what you really should be “aware” of
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and judging by the PSAs on my Facebook feed to “get your mammogram,” it appears everyone’s pretty aware of it. And although many events have had to go virtual this year due to COVID restrictions, there are still “races for the cure” happening around the country, aiming to raise money for breast cancer research.

Ladies, an important health message for you
I feel truly blessed to be able to say that I love what I do. It really jazzes me to write books and blogs, consult one on one with clients, design helpful supplements, give dietary suggestions, and one of my very favorite things to do--speak and interact with people at conferences. Normally the questions I get at conferences are geared toward what I just spoke about—whether it’s IBS, energy, the importance of pH, etc.—but...
