November is National Lung Cancer Awareness Month

November is National Lung Cancer Awareness Month

  Back in the 1980s I worked at a health insurance company and interestingly one of the things I remember best about that job was my boss (Paul) who smoked cigars nonstop throughout the day. As you may recall (if you are as old as me!), smoking used to be allowed in public places, including business offices. So, Paul would light up and stink up the office all day long.

What flu shot effectiveness really means

What flu shot effectiveness really means

  Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve no doubt noticed the onslaught of signs and advertisements literally everywhere telling you to “Get your flu shot!” And, right about this time of year, studies of flu shot effectiveness are typically conducted…and whether you hear about those studies on the news depends on the results of said studies.

  While it seems to be the current focus of our national health agencies to scare the bejeezus out of people talking about the flu, COVID, monkeypox and whatever other viruses they can point a finger at, there is a glaring failure in how these agencies “serve and inform” us.

A sneaky factor behind our obesity explosion

A sneaky factor behind our obesity explosion

  Here’s an eye-opening statistic--currently, nearly eight out of 10 Americans are overweight or obese. And those numbers are not going down. Of course, the begging question here is: What in the world is going on? Why is it our “new normal” to be overweight? Well, there are a lot of factors behind the scenes, including processed/fast foods, lack of exercise, exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, chronic stress and the resulting elevated cortisol levels, and our...

How to make working from home, work for YOU

How to make working from home, work for YOU

  Since the emergence of COVID and the resulting lockdowns and closures, more people than ever before have begun working from home. In fact, by the end of 2020, 71 percent of Americans who could do their jobs remotely were working from their homes.  But COVID was not the sole reason behind this shift.
