by Robert Parmer 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
by Joel Fuhrman, M.D. 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.

Long periods... 2/4/2016 8:00:00 AM

He stands at that bridge... 2/1/2016 8:00:00 AM
by Fred Fletcher 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

by Nina Atwood, M.Ed., LPC 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.

by Joel Fuhrman, M.D. 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

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
