About Me View My Posts
Over the past year you've watched as real estate in your neighborhood dropped in value. It didn't really hit home, though, until last week when your next door neighbors told you they hadn't made mortgage payments for five months, that the bank was foreclosing, and that they'd be moving soon. For the first time you're looking closely at your own home, wondering what the future holds. Consider a not... 7/31/2008 10:35:04 PM

The warning that should appear on sunscreen containers is, "Warning -- you're not getting enough sun." Sunlight is just like a food nutrient that your body needs in order to function in a healthful way. Exposure to sunlight, for example, creates Vitamin D in your body. Vitamin D, as recent studies have shown, is preventative for most cancers in women (breast cancer, colon cancer, cervical cancer, lung... 7/30/2008 1:24:25 PM

I was talking to a friend of mine today, who happens to be a pharmacist, and we were musing over how easily women give up when told that they do not need treatment or invalidate the things that they say they are experiencing. If a man feels that he is not receiving appropriate treatment or his provider is not listening to him, he is willing to find someone who will help him. My friend sees it every... 7/28/2008 7:43:42 AM

Hundreds of independent studies published in respectable, peer-reviewed scientific journals over the past forty years have linked phthalate exposure to serious health effects in children, including reduced testosterone levels, lowered sperm counts, early puberty in girls, and genital defects in baby boys. And yet many soft plastic or vinyl toys,... 7/22/2008 11:31:36 AM

Nails Aren't Just For Painting

About Me View My Posts
As Sara was filling out her nutrition history form, I took a glance at her nails. Her nail beds showed up as thin, concaved, and had raised ridges. I suggested she gets her iron tested. People don't come into a nutrition consultation reporting nail problems but I check them anyway. They offer so many clues to what is going on inside of a person. Sara returned to our next session with a doctor's report... 7/10/2008 8:31:28 AM

It's not the brain freeze from your mid-day frozen yogurt, or the intensity of focusing on your brow point from yoga class, but the middle of your eyebrows won't stop pulsing since you stepped outside from your relaxing air conditioned home. As most of you have been feeling, the heat is on in the city and headache prone individuals have been feeling it most of all. There are plenty of things you can... 7/10/2008 8:30:56 AM

Be Organic: Your Health and the Environment Depend On It

About Me View My Posts
Four months ago I found myself standing in front of the produce section of my local supermarket with a bit of a dilemma. In one hand, I was holding a conventionally grown Macintosh apple. In my other hand, I had one that's been organically grown. Both apples were shiny, firm, and red. Both were free from fat, sodium, and cholesterol, and would provide my body with vitamins and fiber. The conventionally... 7/10/2008 8:26:43 AM
