I started getting email notifactions from Wellness about a goal I had ticked many moons ago. Cannot remember if I created the goal or if I just agreed that it was a good one. Judging by my photo I have not been here for about six years and this means that my life has rather radically changed. I no longer train in kung-fu, I gave that up in 2008, about a year after my first son was born. However, I... 4/19/2015 9:53:33 PM

About Me View My Posts
In 2012, I left a large cardiology group to start my own practice, Wolfson Integrative Cardiology. Many have asked why. Why would I give up the security of a fat paycheck and constant influx of patients?Here are some reasons:1) Going after the cause. Cardiologists do not care about the cause of disease. They are only concerned about pills and procedures. Cause doesn't pay the bills, treadmills and... 4/19/2015 3:33:38 PM

About Me View My Posts
Over the years, (just turned 60 yrs. old April 2015) I have been fortunate enough to be associated with folks who were also wellness minded. I discovered early in my life, that no one really was completely sure of their wellness beliefs, but the few lessons I was sure I could depend on was that ALL chemical medicines were toxic, and most self medication ideas were also destructive to a degree. I had... 4/18/2015 7:50:04 PM

Visiting YOUR Doctor Just Got Easier
by Joe Stewart
About Me View My Posts
Doc-in-the-box is a term that was first seen in print in the 1980s, as a not so flattering description of health care providers who see patients either at a walk-in or freestanding clinic. Patients are usually charged a flat fee or hourly rate for services rendered, and in recent years it has become the model for visiting a provider online. But with a telemedicine industry that is predicted by a BBC... 4/17/2015 7:00:00 AM

Being There For Your Family Starts Here

It’s a familiar scene. You’re out at a café at lunch and you see a child and what looks to be their parent sitting at a two-person table. The parent is scrolling through their phone endlessly, picking at their meal, making zero eye-contact with their kid, and the child is playing a mindless game on an iPad or tablet barely touching their food.I feel disheartened when I see a parent and child “spending... 4/15/2015 7:00:00 AM

Yoga and Meditation Replacing Physical Education in Schools
by Pavita Singh, MPH
About Me View My Posts
I was throwing it right at you! Why didn’t you catch it? You’re supposed to catch the ball!” This was a typical experience for me in physical education – the most dreaded part of my school day. “Thanks a lot, Pavita! You made us lose!” The taunting would continue through the end of class, but it didn’t stop on the court or on the field. It followed me into the locker room, where I was teased for being... 4/13/2015 7:00:00 AM

Want to know my big needle mover for fast, lasting fat loss? It has nothing -- and everything -- to do with the foods you eat and exercise you do.The best thing you can do to stay lean and healthy involves a good night's sleep. I'm talking quantity and quality here. If you sleep eight hours, but wake up three times during the night to go to the bathroom, you're not getting high-quality sleep, and the... 4/13/2015 7:00:00 AM

by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts
There is a major shift taking place right now that may have consequences even those of us who are condemning it may not fully appreciate, much less explain to others. Actually, this so-called "shift" has been in the making for decades but, because it is being implemented so slow and surreptitiously, many people aren't even aware of what is taking place. If they are aware, they either don't have the... 4/8/2015 7:00:00 AM

Food Addiction (Part 2): Your Food Rehab Program
by Dr. Sara Gottfried, M.D.
About Me View My Posts
Food addiction is when you eat for a state change, and keep eating in an obsessive way in the face of harm from it. I’ve written about my own struggle with food addiction in my new book The Hormone Reset Diet and in my last blog on food addiction. I outlined the ways that “Big Food” hooks you into food addiction and conditioned overeating through the targeted design of foods that combine sugar, flour,... 4/6/2015 9:00:00 PM
