Well... What are you eating (or not) for breakfast?
...Our brains need fuel, and we get that fuel from the foods that we eat. Thus starting the day by not eating, or with a high sugar/carbohydrate meal (such as cereal) does not give our bodies what they need. We need to start the morning with a meal dense in nutrients, that has a wide range of colors, and is rich in good macronutrients...
It is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Let me help you figure out a test regime.
...Patients that I have on hormones are required, by me, to do yearly breast screening, paps, and also urine hormone testing, or I will not continue to write prescriptions for their hormones. These screenings are good guidelines for all women to follow. I know there have been recent changes in how frequently we should be getting paps, and insurance companies are dictating how often we can have other tests covered, but when it comes to your body it is better to be safe...
When was the last time you stopped everything, and just did that one thing you really needed to do?
...With the business of life, my diet has also slipped because certain foods are just easier even though my body is screaming at me to bring back veggies, and fruits in high quantities. So we, my husband and I, are making these changes. Again, catching up...
Seriously, just stop what you are doing, and go outside for a few minutes. Breath some fresh air. Take a nature break.
We all get busy with work, and the day-to-day of our lives, but we forget to take the necessary time to see the world right outside our front door. Hiking is something my husband tries to get me to do more often. I always have reasons why we cannot go hiking on the weekends. However, I forget how amazing nature is, and I'm grateful for the times my husband pushes me to go out...
It is not as simple as saying that online communication is a good, or bad thing. As it is not really a "black & white" issue.
Modern technology, for better or worse, is here to stay. Some forms of technology help us to stay more connected while other forms destroy that connection. I cringe when I hear my patients tell me that they have to text their children within the same house to let them know that dinner is ready because that is the only way their kids will respond...
Confused by some food ingredients, or unfamiliar with food manufacturing risks? This site can help.
Food may be one of the greatest pleasures in life. Especially when we take the time to sit down, and savor it. That being said, food can also be a scary thing when a majority of the food we eat comes packaged, and processed.

For all of you ladies that love your coffee, this blog is for you!
Coffee seems to have a potential benefit in lowering women’s risk of getting tinnitus. Tinnitus is medically defined as a noise, or ringing in the ear. It is not considered a disease, but a sign or symptom of something else going on. It can be associated with certain medications, and thus an evaluation as to potential causes needs to be done...
So What Is It You Aren't Doing That You Need To Do To Prepare For The Coming Week?
I have started a guilty little pleasure on Sundays, and I love it. It is something that I do for myself while not feeling the least bit guilty about doing it. It will range from 30 minutes to 2 hours just depending on the week. It is just a great way to start the week off by taking care of myself. What is this guilty little pleasure?
