How I Felt My Way Through A Crisis

This blog post is a long one. An intimate one. One where I share exactly how I found my way towards Well Being and how YOU CAN TOO.   The blog post was inspired by a video I shared on my FB page that got a hugely positive response.

Anti-Aging… My Top Recommendations

Recently I got an email from a lovely soul enrolled in my Unlimited Email Plan… …She wanted to know what I recommended for Anti-Aging. Wow… that’s a big topic!   So, I thought I’d share some of my approach with you on the blog today in the hopes that you might get a fresh idea or two to incorporate into your day.   Generally for anti-aging there are three angles you could focus on:   1 — skin (yes it’s superficial but still important and young skin just feels so lovely!) 2 — body/internal health and 3 — the mind. …

Why Allergies Might Help You Live Longer

A new study suggests that folks with allergic rhinitis are more likely to outlive the rest of us.   Allergic rhinitis patients have a decreased risk of heart attack, a decreased risk of stroke and over all a significantly decreased risk of all-cause mortality!   “They were basically half as likely to die during the study period,” says Dr. Crans Yoon, after looking at a database of over 200,000+ allergic rhinitis patients and following those patients for a 7 year period.   Presented at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology 2014 conference, Dr. Yoon found that people who …

The Healing Process of Grief

2013 was a huge year of transition for me. And, to be frank, it was a year of loss. But also a year of growth. A year of survival and a year of strength.   I’ve learned a lot first hand about loss, grief and healing… and I can contrast it quite vividly to what I *learned* about grief and healing during my medical training.   I still remember being in medical school and learning all about the classic model of the grief process, set forth by the amazing and brave Elisabeth Kubler-Ross: DABDA (I’m sure many of my readers, …
