A very serious consequence of lockdowns
Now that communities are beginning to open back up following the COVID-19 mitigation measures, jokes and memes about the “COVID-15” (weight gain resulting from the lockdowns) are flooding social media. While gaining weight in most instances is not the best thing for your health, there is an arguably far more serious consequence of our recent forced quarantines and the social and economic devastation that has resulted. Depression! Even people who were never prone to...
Slash your risk of dementia with these simple tips
My Mom (who passed away in 2015 at age 94) spent the last three years of her life in a nursing home after falling and breaking her hip. And although those final years were filled with pain and being confined to a wheelchair, she would always say to me with a smile, “I hurt from head to toe, but it’s OK, Sher. I still know who you are.” Amen! Unfortunately, increasing numbers of people...

There are many factors that are contributing to this grim fact—overuse of pharmaceuticals, environmental toxins, degradation of our food supply, and unhealthy lifestyle habits are some of the major...
Promising hope for Parkinson’s disease & prevention
Although the rates of all forms of autoimmune disease continue to rise, one in particular that is experiencing explosive growth is Parkinson’s disease (PD). Second only to Alzheimer’s at this point in the neurological disease category, about 10 million people worldwide and one million Americans suffer from PD. But those numbers may be grossly understated because many people don’t get diagnosed in the early stages of the disease. In addition, proper diagnosis can be muddied...
A secret of my past I’ve never told you before
I’m going to share some of my personal past with you today in a way that I never have. While I have mentioned in a blog or two that my Dad died of a massive heart attack at age 58 (when I was 15), that’s not the whole story. You see, in addition to (obviously) having heart disease, my Dad was also an alcoholic. All that meant to me as a kid was a...
