by Bonnie Bonadeo When one of my friends turned 50 and was still single (after a few bad relationships and divorce) she said "That’s it. I am destined to be single for the rest of my life, so I better start loving myself. I’m all I got."Getting close to that age, and single myself, was I destined to be single for the rest of my life? I reacted very intensely to her, in saying “No, don’t you dare give up, there is someone... 4/13/2018 7:00:00 AM
by James Gray Robinson There are as many theories about raising children as there are children. Most parents will admit that they had no idea of what raising a child would be like and that someone should write a manual to explain how to do it. Many have. The problem is that there is no one formula for raising children and the “experts” that claim their one size fits all theories cause more problems than they solve. Parenting... 4/10/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Mia Moran Why is it that we moms spend hours, weeks, months researching the best schools and summer camps, finding the best Christmas presents and birthday gifts, scoping out the best flat screen TVs, but we want to cook dinner in a quick 20 minutes. Think about it: we sign our children up for multiple activities when they are small so they can get into college, but we don’t teach them two simple skills they... 4/5/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Dr. Laura Markham Most parents think of Tylenol as a wonder drug -- harmless, readily available, and a miraculous cure for teething fussiness, ear infection pain, fevers and other childhood maladies. But when an old friend's son died recently from tylenol poisoning, I did some research. Call me naive, but I was shocked by what I learned.Apparently, Tylenol/Acetaminophen is toxic to the human body. It causes liver poisoning.... 3/29/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Treva Graves Let’s face it! I was pretty skeptical when I thought about trying yoga. I wondered how yoga could ever be a full “workout” without running, biking or doing circuit training and sweating! But, my friends encouraged me to give it a try and go into it with an open mind. Just because you are not breaking out into a full sweat doesn’t mean your body isn’t getting a work out, right?So, I headed over to a... 3/28/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Dr. Janet Sasson Edgette Olivia calls her dad a s**t-head every chance she gets, but what she really wants to say to him is this: “Every time you talk to me you’re trying to make some point and it gets old. Plus, you think you’re being funny but it hurts my feelings and that’s why I don’t talk to you, not because I’m a “mopey teenager.” Let’s unpack this conflict, and see how a father and daughter who are genuinely trying... 3/28/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Angela Jones Ever since you went into menopause, sex is painful. So painful in fact that you don’t want to have it. You pretend to be sick, too tired. Even pretend to be asleep. You used to enjoy sex so much. Used to have an amazing sex life. Why do you feel this way? Is it normal? Is there anything you can do about this? Do other women experience this?Even though I can’t see you, I feel you. I understand your... 3/28/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Dr. Scott Shapiro My goal is to inform (and sometimes entertain if the mood strikes!), with articles I've read, my personal experiences, clinical experience and stories shared by my patients. To delve right in, I cannot tell you how many patients I've seen who share common stories. Most start like this: ".Well, my primary care doctor ran a TSH test (thyroid stimulating hormone), and said my levels are fine. I'm still... 3/20/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Joel Fuhrman, M.D. Each year Americans spend $30 billion on multivitamins and other supplements. Yet, the benefit of taking these supplements remains elusive. Scientific research has not demonstrated any value in (terms of chronic disease prevention) of taking multivitamins, in part because it is simply too difficult to get a definitive answer. Multivitamins are not all the same combinations of nutrients with the same... 3/18/2018 7:00:00 AM
by Joel Fuhrman, M.D. Have you had a blood test recently and were surprised to learn your cholesterol was high? Are you concerned at how elevated your blood pressure reading was at your last doctor's appointment? Sure, you say to yourself, your diet isn’t perfect. And those numbers have been creeping up lately, so it isn’t exactly a huge surprise, but still, it is a shock to finally hear it. Your doctor probably offered... 3/16/2018 7:00:00 AM
