Does this sound like you? For some strange reason, each holiday season you’re struck on the head by a sugar plum fairy…a daze which begins the last of November and ends the last of December. Then you wake up from this amnesia in a déjà vu on January 1st with […]

My fuzzy brain, IBS, acid reflux, fibromyalgia, and joint pain. Could these be caused by foods I’m eating everyday?  We’ve been getting a lot of questions recently about food allergies.  Because this topic can really be confusing, I wanted to take this opportunity to try and help answer some of […]

Sounds like the title of a horror movie doesn’t it? Taming your waistline without also taming the monster within can be frustrating if not next to impossible. On TV, Dr. Oz, and internet blogs, we hear more and more about inflammation and its devastating effect on our health and the […]

  Can it be that obesity is a highly inheritable trait?  Can we then blame mom and dad for our weight problems? Hold that thought.   I come from a rural Appalachian community where you hear this common expression, “My daddy’s chubby, my momma’s chubby, all my brothers and sisters […]

While Googling women’s health topics I came upon the usual quick fixes, miracle creams and over-hyped, questionable treatments, as well as many reputable practitioners. It was there I saw the words “The Hormone Wizard”. It’s a clever name for women seeking answers and relief for the often-mysterious health challenge known […]

It’s warm weather time in Florida. We’re heading to the beach, lounging by the pool, going on vacation. Also about this time you start seeing ads with a familiar refrain: “It’s swimsuit season! Time to get in shape!” And that means for so many women anxiety, frustration, even fear. As […]

There’s nothing funny about toxins but they’re definitely scary and they are out to get you. And no, this isn’t a scene from a ‘50s horror movie. Truth is we hear more and more every day about toxins in our environment. They come in all forms and come at us […]
