Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, but it’s not the only thing in February directly related to the heart. February is also National Heart Month. Many people don’t realize the severity of heart health in America, and that is a tragic error. Roughly 610,000 Americans die each year from heart disease. That number is equal to one in four deaths. Heart disease is hands down the leading killer of... 2/8/2016 8:00:00 AM

To Be Healthy, Make A Move
by Joel Fuhrman, M.D.
About Me View My Posts
Today it is common to have a job that involves sitting at a desk for eight hours a day. And usually we would feel good if we hit the gym a few times a week, or managed to squeeze in a hike on a weekend. However, one major lesson that has come out of research on sedentary behavior is that exercising before or after work—although great to do – does not undo the harm done by sitting all day. Long periods... 2/4/2016 8:00:00 AM

What Is Leaky Gut? (And Why You Should Know)
by Jenn Ryan
About Me View My Posts
Leaky gut is another name for intestinal permeability. What this means is that places in the gut that determine what gets to go into your small intestine are not working as they should. This means that substances that you react to, or are toxic to your body, end up where they shouldn’t—in your bloodstream. Imagine your gut’s lining is Gandalf in The Fellowship of the Ring. He stands at that bridge... 2/1/2016 8:00:00 AM

Can You Avoid Getting Cancer?
by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts
Roughly six years ago I started writing a book on the most promising treatments for cancer. The project was born out of a deep personal desire to give people who had been diagnosed with cancer (or had a relative or friend in such situation or who were simply afraid of getting the disease) palpable hope that was based on hard, sink-your-teeth-into science.That is not to say that I don't believe in the... 1/30/2016 8:00:00 AM

What Is a Soul Mate?
by Nina Atwood, M.Ed., LPC
About Me View My Posts
There are about as many definitions of soul mate as you can imagine. We've been trying to define this term for literally thousands of years to no avail. I'll try to cut through the confusion by offering mine. A soul mate is a person with whom you feel a deep connection that may even defy logic. For example, a soul mate can be a close friend who lives a very different life than yours, yet you pick up... 1/16/2016 10:00:00 PM

Eat Nuts and Seeds for a Longer, Healthier Life
by Joel Fuhrman, M.D.
About Me View My Posts
Did you know that there is an association between eating nuts and seeds and living a longer, healthier life? It’s true. Still, I find people who shy away from eating nuts and seeds because they think of them as fattening. Yes, nuts and seeds are calorie-dense, so they are not for snacking. But they have many wonderful properties and are packed with helpful nutrients, so a more healthful approach is... 1/12/2016 10:00:00 PM

The Number One Reason Why You Can’t Lose Weight

About Me View My Posts
Everything we do stems from our belief systems. Your self-image is responsible for all that you do. Take a step back and think about how you feel about yourself and then take note of how you live. Can you see how your deepest thoughts and feelings are reflective in your life experiences?If you see yourself as “fat” then your body will manifest that which you believe, resulting in wanting to eat more... 1/5/2016 10:00:00 PM
