Health Blog: Your Health Bank Account, Part 2

How to manage your ‘whealth’

I recently came across a study suggesting that for the first time in modern history, average life expectancy in the U.S. is expected to fall in the coming years unless preventive measures are taken up aggressively. When my friend Maddy recently described her lifestyle to me, I made the comparison for her between a healthy lifestyle and a sound financial plan.

Health Blog: Your Health Bank Account

Are you hemorrhaging health?

As a naturopathic doctor and author, I lecture quite frequently all across the country. Last week I was on the blue-line train from O’Hare to downtown Chicago to address a group of doctors on subclinical hypothyroidism, and decided to connect with my friend Maddy, who lives downtown.

Health Blog: When Type 2 Diabetes Strikes, Part 2

How to naturally manage Type 2 diabetes

Here’s the advice I gave to my physicist friend James when he asked me what to do about dealing with his recent diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes.

Health Blog: When Type 2 Diabetes Strikes

Diabetes and Isaac Newton

My friend James, a physicist, and I were recently discussing Newton’s third law of motion — which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction — when the conversation took a rather interesting turn. He abruptly exclaimed that nobody, in any situation, can escape this law, and that no one knew this better than he did. James has a great sense of humor, so I was curious as to what he was going to say next.

Health Blog: Five Quick Tips for Health Holidays

Some suggestions for saner and healthier holidays

1. Choose a “holiday helper” when visiting family. Pick one friend who you know very well and who knows you that you can slip into another room and make quick, but meaningful contact with for support in turbulent family times. It is like a “holiday family sponsor” : )

Health Blog: Modern-Day Stress – What's In Your Control? Part IV

Don’t deal with stress by turning to the wrong ‘remedies’

The stress hormones elicited during the time of a stressful event are meant to be protective; however, these same hormones can also promote cellular damage and accelerate detrimental changes in the body if they are overproduced or not turned off properly once the apparent danger has passed.

Health Blog: Modern-Day Stress – Supplement Your Lifestyle, Part III

Dietary supplements can help reduce the effects of stress in your life

In this third blog about “modern-day stress,” I am going to discuss appropriate supplementation to help support us as we careen through this world, sometimes with one foot on the brake and the other on the gas pedal, subject to unrelenting chronic stressors.

Health Blog: Modern-Day Stress – No Recovery, Part II

Awareness is the first step in recovering from daily stress

In my last article, I discussed the need for a new definition of stress in our modern day, and also encouraged you to take a look at the myriad ways stress is playing a role in your own life. The traditional definition, simply geared towards a physical event or a mental state requiring the body to respond, just doesn’t cut it anymore in a society in which there are stressful influences coming at us from all directions.

Health Blog: Modern Day Stress – a New Paradigm

Our stress is more chronic than that of our ancestors

Life in our modern day society seems to have brought, not only a flight of modern technology and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, but as well, a new form of “stress” – stress that is chronic, insidious and worthy of a new paradigm of meaning and a different conversation when it comes to how it affects our health.

Health Blog: How to Care for Your Mind

Naturopathy says prevention is the cure for mind diseases

As a practitioner of naturopathic medicine, I continue to see a rise in chronic health issues like memory loss, and the affected age groups dropping younger each year. One of the principles of Naturopathic Medicine is pretty simple, straightforward, and applicable here: PREVENTION IS THE CURE!

Brain Health Blog: The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste

Mind diseases such as Alzheimer’s are a rapidly growing problem

Here is a little humorous story that illustrates a painful reality happening right now in over 5.3 million American lives … with no sign of slowing down:
