Energy for Life
When we think about energy, we might envision running a marathon or dancing the tango. And yes, those activities certainly need energy. But we also need a consistent source of energy to do the humdrum tasks in our lives (hello, my old nemesis: laundry), and to care for ourselves. When we start to run out […]
Nutrition For Mood Support
Did anyone else read the Harry Potter books or watch the movies? One of the most terrifying things I encountered were the Dementors—dark, ghostly, floating monsters who froze the air and sucked the life out of their immobilized victims. Shiver! I learned later that J.K. Rowling herself had struggled with severe depression, and these monsters […]
The Anxiety Vampire
When I was a kid, and, I will admit, even now as an adult, I loved monster movies, and am sure I have watched dozens of vampire films. Some were corny (Count Yorga, Vampire) and some were terrifying (anyone see the original Nosferatu?). Some vampires were beautiful or handsome, some were bat-faced and ugly. One […]
David Bowie, Queen and Your Blood Pressure
One of my all-time favorites is the collaboration between Queen and David Bowie to create the musical masterpiece “Under Pressure.” However, I can’t listen to the lyrics “Pressure … pushing down on me … pressing down on you …” and hear that beating, building pulse of a rhythm without thinking of blood pressure. Maybe I […]
Be a Liver Lover!
Most people don’t think about their liver very much. I have to say, as organs go, the liver just doesn’t get the attention showered on the heart and brain, but it is absolutely crucial to health and longevity. One of the liver’s most important jobs is to eliminate compounds that might otherwise cause us some […]
Bones & Joints: The Architecture of Movement
Does anyone remember Tinkertoys? It was a round box of colorful sticks of various lengths that fit into wooden discs called spools of different sizes so that you could build all kinds of fantastic structures. And if you were super talented, you could build structures with moving parts. I often think of Tinkertoys when I […]
Estrogen: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly
Estrogen is magic. It turns little girls into grown-up women. Hips widen, breasts develop, ovaries kick into gear, and the cycle of reproductive life begins. Without estrogen, there would be no babies and humanity would grind to a halt. Estrogen colors the way we think, the way we perceive pain, our memories, how our heart […]
Natural Answers for Pain
I do not have to tell you that pain is an incredibly unpleasant experience. Scientists call it a “noxious stimuli,” and that it is, indeed. I am not a big fan of enduring pain. Not only is it, well, painful, it is exhausting and depressing. It wears you out and uses up your body’s resources. […]
Building a Bulletproof Immune System
OK, maybe not 100 percent bulletproof, but able to deflect and dodge projectiles galore! In the midst of a serious viral outbreak, people can feel overwhelmed and vulnerable, but there are so many ways we can help protect ourselves and the ones we love through nutrient interventions. Whether it’s the basics like vitamin D, or […]
Gold and Diamonds, or Energy?
Let me start by saying I like the sparkly stuff as much as the next person. But I would trade every piece of jewelry I own in a heartbeat for limitless energy. Imagine getting up in the morning with energy and optimism and the physical endurance to do anything you want to do. Head for […]
