One thing you simply cannot ignore!

One thing you simply cannot ignore!

    If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 42-year career in the health field, it’s this: Our bodies are FAR smarter than we give them credit for, and your body will let you know what it needs and when it needs it. The key here is that you have to listen! For example, when your body needs nutrients, you feel hunger. When it needs rest, you feel tired. When it’s repairing an injury,...

How to keep your brain sharp into your golden years

How to keep your brain sharp into your golden years

  In our society today, sadly many health issues are accepted as “normal” consequences of aging. These include impaired hearing, weight gain, arthritis, reduced stamina, constipation, and the one that is probably feared the most… mental impairment !

  June is National Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month, and that brings back a painful story from my past.  You may recall me mentioning in my writings that my Dad died of a heart attack at age 58 when I was 15.  But in addition to his poor cardiovascular health, he was also an alcoholic.    I didn’t know what was going on with him—I was just angry and resentful because I couldn’t have...

Why are we seeing so much aggression and violence?
