by Ken Ceder Blue light, especially from electronic devices and LED lights, has been all over the news lately, primarily warning about sleep interference. However, there's real urgency to learn about light and your health —especially those with aging eyes.

by Lisa B. Capp I follow news closely because of selfish worry I may develop dementia following the loss of both parents to this devastating brain disease.My middle-aged siblings and I are children of dementia. A history lesson may be in order for perspective. The German physician Alois Alzheimer studied Auguste Deter in 1906; you can think of Auguste as dementia’s patient zero.

Depending on the type, these crunchy nibbles are filled with heart healthy ingredients and even omega-3 fatty acids. They also have fiber, vitamins, minerals, and protein.

by Dr. Steph The other day I was chatting with a client and we both felt angry at the lack of eating disorder awareness. Eating disorders are a highly stigmatized mental health condition and from my client's perspective, and mine, there are too many people living with eating disorders who aren't aware of the serious harm they cause.
