Lose the Guilt
by DearJames
About Me View My Posts
Dear JamesI have recently left an abusive relationship. I am emotionally stuck, as I never have felt so much hate from another person before. I am getting older and want to know if there may be a healthy relationship in my future. Also, I want to grow spiritually so this never happens again. I want to create loving and healthy boundaries with my family and friends without feeling guilty if I do not... 4/4/2015 9:00:00 PM

About Me View My Posts
Most of us have a wonderful relationship with food. Beyond eating for survival, we enjoy food in moderation and know that it brings us nutrition, joy, and health. For some people, though, food is an obsession that dominates their life. Food addiction—a cluster of chemical dependencies that leads to a loss of control over food—can wreak havoc. In many respects, the behavior of food addicts is similar... 3/30/2015 7:00:00 AM

Am I Gluten Intolerant?
by Gini Warner
About Me View My Posts
Gluten is a protein contained in wheat, barley, and rye. It gives a doughy/elastic consistency to flours derived from these grains. This is why, over the centuries, gluten-containing grains have come to be used so extensively in breads and other baked goods. Today, gluten is used in many processed and pre-made foods. Though there may be no detectable symptoms of the immune response to gluten, the typical... 3/30/2015 7:00:00 AM

I just attended a very useful meeting, where there is a consensus that maybe how we practice primary care, an ideal, is actually a failure in reality. To some, it could look like a big power trip for a physician to invite you into her or his “territory,” ask you to sit on the end of a hard examination table half-naked, and offer no recognition that you took a half day off and maybe a quarter of tank... 3/28/2015 7:00:00 AM

Rest assured that whatever problem that your child is encountering, IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD! The problem may be new to you and new to your child but the situation is not unknown to mankind. Please understand that in your attempts to do your best as a parent, things will arise.... 3/27/2015 7:00:00 AM

WHO’s telemedicine interpretation is:The delivery of health care services, where distance is a critical factor, by all health care professionals using information and communication technologies… all in the... 3/26/2015 7:00:00 AM

Keep Your Energy High with These Mid-Morning Snacks
by Andrea Fisher
About Me View My Posts
I'm not sure about you, but mid-morning is sometimes when I'm at my lowest. Not quite prepared to eat a full meal, I find myself longing for a little pick-me-up to boost productivity. A small snack that combines carbohydrates, protein, and fat serves me best. It fills me up and fuels my brain and doesn't leave me feeling groggy, tired, or full the way a sugar-loaded snack or caffeinated beverage might.... 3/26/2015 7:00:00 AM

She spoke in hushed tones about a second and then third eclair she devoured alone, hiding all evidence from her husband.“You’re addicted,” I said matter-of-factly. Sugar had become my friend’s drug of choice, and constantly grazing on even so-called healthy hidden-sugar foods had trained her body to demand it constantly.If you can relate to my friend’s predicament, I’ve got hopeful news: sugar addiction... 3/24/2015 7:00:00 AM

I wasn’t going to post anything today. I was too busy contemplating some of the responses to my recent post about the perils of drinking milk.There are some real stout defenders of the dairy industry (perhaps some fiscally motivated) and several felt the need to email me directly and/or try and post (so glad our platform has a profanity filter which does not allow profane posts to go live) implications... 3/20/2015 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
Like it or not, we live in a society that promotes superficial, unrealistic beauty ideals. That’s both good news and bad. The good news is that such a perspective creates lots of choices that can help you be your most healthy, best self. The bad news is that some people take it too far and try to conform to beauty ideals that are truly unrealistic and may actually harm their relationships, financial... 3/19/2015 7:00:00 AM
