There are many times when I am muscle testing patients and the issues and symptoms they are experiencing trace back to a closed head injury earlier in their life. The truth is that this type of injury, whether diagnosed as a concussion or not, can happen from sports, from a fall, from a blow to the head or from any injury such as in a car accident. But this may be only the start of the problem.
Read MoreSo many people think that aging has typical symptoms that everyone can expect and will experience.

Read MoreThis spring I have seen more allergies in my patients than ever before. Not just environmental allergies, particularly in people who have had none previously, but food allergies as well. You might think this is somehow related to the weather, the pollen count or stress. Many people will assume it has to do with a recent vaccination. But the truth is that it has to do with our skin.
Read MoreEach of us are given a life picture when we are born. We then spend our lives filling it in, creating color and both respecting some lines while blurring or coloring over others. We do this with our choices, our lifestyles, our habits and our experiences. The more we blur the lines of our picture, the less we can see what the picture actually is.
Read MoreThis is a time when many people who have never had a vaccination are thinking about taking the plunge and taking out a bit of insurance when it comes to CoVid. This also means that you may be unaware of how to prepare, how to protect yourself and how to process a vaccination so that you can have the best possible outcome.

They aren’t just releasing tension, they aren’t just expressing their feelings, they are unburdening their communication pathways. You may not even realize how much information your body has that it has been unable to communicate. Your conscious self receives the “report” from your body, which it will give you whenever you create space for your mind to receive it.

This is what is commonly referred to as “andropause”. By understanding that they also have symptoms that need attention and conditions that require some natural remedies, they can continue to run like the wind and have the energy of a lion. There is nothing a man needs more than to be the King of his jungle.
Read MoreMy patients are always asking me about gluten-free eating. One of my favorite recommendations are ancient grains which have not been hybridized or altered from their historical varieties. Einkorn is probably my ultimate favorite because of its great taste, fiber content and digestibility! But more than that, I use it as an essential part of some great comfort foods.
Read MoreSugar dysregulation, known as Metabolic Syndrome or MetS, isn’t just about Metabolic Syndrome X, Type 2 diabetes and hypoglycemia. It actually includes a large group of insidious complications like gout, COPD, glaucoma, Bipolar Disorder, psoriasis, osteoporosis, GERD, PCOS, sleep apnea and erectile dysfunction. All of these things have been clinically shown (in very recent clinical studies) to trace their origins back to years of sugar dysregulation.
