Menopause isn’t for the weak. In fact, when you consider what women have to go through, from fatigue and bloating to mood changes, night sweats and more, it’s a wonder we get through it at all. One minute, you’re rolling through your day just fine, and the next, you’re a hot, sweaty puddle! It’s no wonder, then, that we’re willing to pop a prescription pill just to survive. But if…
Most of what we hear about spending time on screens (computers, tablets and smartphones) is bad. Take the warnings about blue light, for example… Research says artificial light disrupts the natural order of things, like our circadian rhythm. That blue light exposure from screens potentially accelerates aging by altering mitochondria — the powerhouses of our cells. But not everything related to screens is bad… In fact, according to a study…
In 2002, I was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. This painful condition is not the subject of this post, so let me be brief and say that it causes unpredictable jolts of electric pain through the head and jaw. It wasn’t until 2014 that a friend told me to try CBD oil. Marijuana? You mean pot?? That was my initial reaction. How far we’ve come. But let me tell you, it…
Eat right. Exercise. Get enough sleep. Don’t smoke or drink. That “healthy lifestyle” list just keeps getting longer.

If you’re trying to lose weight, it might seem reasonable to think that using artificial sweeteners to reduce your calories might be preferable to eating foods with sugar. Not so fast. You’ll want to think twice before putting artificial anything into your body. Those fake sweetener packets you see on restaurant tables have been linked to poor gut health that contributes to heart disease, autoimmune disorders and colon cancer —…
Nearly 65 million Americans report episodes of back pain, while around 16 million adults experience persistent or chronic back pain, according to the Health Policy Institute. Making matters worse, very few things work reliably to eliminate back pain, especially lower back pain, the most common complaint of all. The thing is, much of our back pain is self-inflicted. And since there’s no reliable fix for back pain, the best thing…
There’s no question that the environment can have a big impact on our health. Toxins in our air, water and food can lead to conditions ranging from type 2 diabetes to thyroid dysfunction. In fact, toxic metal pollution has been deemed worse on the heart than smoking or high cholesterol. Now researchers are examining whether substances in the environment could be triggering and exacerbating a debilitating disease that affects more…
Even on mornings when I’m in a rush to get somewhere on time or nights when I can hardly keep my eyes open, I never skip brushing my teeth.
