The Health Hazards Of Sitting

The Health Hazards Of Sitting

Think About How Much You Actually Sit.

Most of us will spend at least 8 hours a day sitting, either at work, around the house, or commuting. For some, even more time is spent sitting. Our society has become a sitting society; sitting for just about everything. Instead of moving throughout the day we have to plan specific times to exercise for balance...

Yoga In The Morning

Just A Great, And Quick, Yoga Class To Start Your Day!

We all know the importance of exercise, and it's wonderful health benefits, but often it is hard to find the time to do it. Yoga is one of my favorite ways to treat the body, but I don't often do it because I think that I need to do an hour, or more...

Your Hormones And Treatment

Your Hormones And Treatment

Last Month We Looked At Your Hormones. Now We'll Talk About Treatment.

A few weeks ago I talked about testing hormones, and now I want to take some time to talk about how I go about treating hormone imbalances. One of the many things I love about Naturopathic Medicine is that there is no one-size-fits-all model...

The Dreaded Todo List

The Dreaded Todo List

Todo Lists Are Great! Except When They're Not.

...[They] a great way for my husband and I to keep track of things that we need to do, and need to get at stores. So in a way, it is an extension of communication between us. It is also a place where we have listed our short, and long term goals. There are many ‘todo’ apps available for every cell phone platform. I find that they come in quite handy at times, but do have their drawbacks...

Your Hormones

How I Test Your Hormone Levels, And Why.

I often hear my patients tell me in their initial appointments that they are fatigued, overweight, irritable, having menstrual issues, or suffering from hot flashes. When I hear of these symptoms from them, I want to get a picture of where their hormones are as these signals are indicative of what is going on in their body. Without an understanding of what state their hormones are in, it is difficult to know exactly how to get to the root cause of these issues...

Week Tweaking

Another Great Video From Dr. Mike Evans.

Often in life we are looking for ways to make things easier for ourselves. Technology, for example, has helped us in many ways to make our lives easier. And though it does life easier, we are now moving less, and barely connecting with each other. So in that regard, I want to share another of Dr. Mike Evans’s videos called, “Let’s Make our Day Harder.”

EWG's 2014 Dirty Dozen List Is Out!

EWG's 2014 Dirty Dozen List Is Out!

The Environmental Workers Group Is At It Again. 

The EWG just never stops giving us great information. The EWG has come out with their 2014 Dirty Dozen & Clean 15 list. The list is based on testing that determines the pesticide levels found on food. EWG found that two-thirds of produce sampled had pesticide residues. This list includes fifty one fruits and vegetables with the lower numbers indicating higher pesticide levels found. So the Apple is listed as #1, and is found to have the highest residual levels of pesticides...

Fresh Or Frozen

...I want to share with you. It is a YouTube video from AsapScience about frozen versus fresh food. Rather than take a stand on either side, I’m just going to post this, and let everyone comment on the video below...

Doing What Is Necessary

Doing What Is Necessary

Unpopular Decisions You've Made That Were Necessary.

I have had to put quite a bit on the back burner, interest-wise, myself in order to focus on these things that work best for me, and to show that my ‘unpopular’ decisions were the right ones. You cannot argue with progress, and no one can take that progress away from you. Nor should you let them even try...
