At a seminar recently, the speaker confessed to the audience his personal indulgence. It wasn't shoes (he was a HE after all!), it wasn't chocolate, it wasn't expensive scotch or cigars, it was books. Books of all sizes, covers, topics and purpose. He said his wife told him, "No more!", or they'd have to buy a bigger house. His minimum order of two new books a week is now sent to his office. I can... 11/30/2007 11:22:10 AM

by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts
Menopause is a word that is usually reserved for women, so we think it only happens to women. Not true! If we look at how menopause occurs in a woman we can easily see how it can occur in a man as well. What may surprise you is that when menopause occurs in a man he will suffer the exact same symptoms as a woman. He will have hot flashes, sleep disruption, loss of sexual function, loss of stamina,... 11/28/2007 10:58:13 PM

About Me View My Posts
Big "ah-ha" moments are wonderful gifts. Mine ususally come while running, practicing yoga or taking a shower. I've heard this happens to a lot of people because these kinds activities can take on a meditative quality. The monkey mind shuts off, maybe only for a moment, but in that moment we can actually listen for a change! Voila ~ the "ah-ha" is born! This particular "ah-ha" occured during a yoga... 11/28/2007 6:18:31 AM

First Kiss: What Does It Mean?
by Nina Atwood, M.Ed., LPC
About Me View My Posts
When was the last time you were kissed for the first time by someone new? I don't mean a casual peck on the cheek. I mean a hot, passionate, bone-melting, knee-weakening, no-holds-barred kiss. Now ask yourself this: what happened after that? Did you hook up (as in casual sex), start a long-term relationship, or go your separate ways? The answer may have something to do with your gender. A new study... 11/27/2007 8:40:15 PM

by Jeffrey Ellis, MD
About Me View My Posts
Nearly every day, patients ask us about their toenails - concerned that they are too thick. Wearing sandals or flip-flops, or just walking around barefoot, can be a major embarrassment if you have thick, crumbly or yellow nails. Most attribute their nail changes to a fungal infection of the nail, called Onychomycosis. Though this is often the case, fungus is not the only cause of nail changes. Other... 11/27/2007 1:27:43 PM
