by JJ Virgin "Really, I spent $50 on coffee alone?" a client recently asked, clearly stunned.About 10 days before, she complained she couldn't afford healthy food, so I gave her an assignment. For just one week, I asked her to track how much she spent on designer coffees, bodega snacks, convenience foods, splurges, and impulse buys. (Hint: A food journal makes a great way to track your spending.)The experience... 7/20/2015 7:00:00 AM
by Judah Gutwein, L.N.H.A. If you love someone with advancing memory loss, you know first hand the frustrations and the heartache the condition can cause.

by Fred Fletcher In the 1800s people were often confused when it came to health-improvement information. On the one hand, they were constantly being pestered by peripatetic salesman selling all kinds of healing oils and other types of panaceas.

With just a click of a mouse we can learn all about the current fad diets, or read about the newest surgical weight-loss procedure, or lose weight by using smaller plates, or view an advertisement for the latest low-fat snack, portioned for ‘convenience’ in 100-calorie packages. None of this... 6/29/2015 7:00:00 AM

A mentor of mine once said, "You should look at EVERY person as a sexual being!"In my fertility practice, I constantly have patients asking about ways to bring about or keep the "spark" alive in their relationship. I think the... 6/24/2015 7:00:00 AM
