by Marcia Hinds When we hear the word “autism,” parents are terrified and hope the doctor is wrong. Here are the 7 things I wish someone had told me when Ryan was first diagnosed with autism:1.

Stop looking for someone to do this for... 8/16/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Tracy Dudley To properly function, the human body needs to make energy. The energy the body makes can come from many sources, but, for humans, the number one source of energy is food. Food does more than provide energy though. Food also gives humans proteins, vitamins, and minerals that the body uses to synthesize other materials the body needs to work. Without eating, humans would not be able to survive, so it... 8/9/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Dr. Adam Friedman Today I'm going to be talking about one of the most basic things that we do on a daily basis, that most of us do wrong, and that's standing. Over the course of 13 years of practice, most of my patients' problems derive from what I call "foundational deficiencies." Foundational deficiencies are things that we do on a daily basis like standing, bending, lifting, driving, sleeping, cell phone use, etc.... 8/8/2018 9:00:00 PM
by Scott Johnson Aging is unavoidable, but age-related diseases and declines in physical and mental functioning may be escaped with the right actions. And taking the right actions should start when you're in your 30s, don't wait till your 60s. It's really never too late to treat your body right, but it's certainly a lot better to start as early as possible. We all want to look and feel our best at all ages and you... 8/4/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Fred Fletcher INTRODUCTIONImaging (e.g., X-rays), as an area in medicine, is without doubt one of the most interesting - both from a scientific and a layman’s perspective. For one thing, imaging is hardly a static area of study—in fact, it is continuously being perfected, thus allowing for things that were only dreamed of years ago.First of all, imaging began as a diagnostic tool and it mainly involved X-rays. Today,... 8/1/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Julie Callicutt What DOES gluten free mean?The term, gluten free is thrown around quite a bit. What it doesn’t mean is that a food or product is completely free of all gluten. It is almost free of all gluten. Confusing isn’t it?For some people though, a product must be near gluten free, because even trace amounts can be damaging to their bodies, causing pain for a few hours to a few days. Don’t have Celiac? Think... 7/31/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Andrea Goeglein Has finding lasting love made you feel insane? Have you found yourself attracting the same type of mate and suffering through the same painful prolonged breakups? Have you vowed never – and I mean never – to date or fall in love again? Supposedly, one far wiser than I am, Mr. Albert Einstein himself, said, “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” I don’tknow... 7/26/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Lisa Romano Those of us who have been marked by the scars of emotional and physical abuse in childhood or as adults know how deep the trauma can penetrate. Our bodies heal, we grow and we cast off many of the superficial appearances that marked us as victims, but the emotional aftershocks remain long afterwards.Since the early days of psychiatry, we’ve known that abuse can put sufferers at risk of depression,... 7/26/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil Typically, in a long-distance relationship, 80% of women are the pursuer and 80% of men are the distancer. While they are in love, they see each other infrequently. This is fine for the distancer, but not so for the pursuer. In long distance relationships, distancers promise the moon, but deliver little. This is why the couple rarely sees each other and the phone, email, and text become a large part... 7/26/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Dr. Janet Sasson Edgette We have all seen teens who are so disrespectful to their parents it makes our jaws drop. Maybe you’ve been one of those parents.Maybe your teenager has learned that he can verbally harass or physically intimidate you into relinquishing the car keys, abandoning his curfew, or looking the other way when his friends sneak alcohol into the house. Or maybe he has simply worn you out, so that when he says... 7/25/2018 7:00:00 AM
