I’ve always believed in responding to adversity with gratitude. But I can’t remember a year in the history of Natural Healthcare Center that has brought more adversity than 2020. And I’ve experienced plenty over the years. In 2010, a blizzard dropped 36 inches of snow that left us without power for two weeks. In 2012, […]
I’ve often referenced my five children in my blog articles and speaking engagements. For this article, I want to focus on my daughters, Hannah and Sophia – my two oldest kids who aren’t kids anymore. I hope this message resonates with other girls and young women who I expect to become the leaders our country […]
I recently treated a liquor store owner who said he’s having trouble maintaining inventory. He said people aren’t just coming in and picking up a few things. They’re clearing off his shelves. The better the weather, the more they’re buying. He’s been in business for 40 years and has never seen anything like it. He […]
Every time I read a story about bullying, I think of my five children. I think of my own experiences as a kid. And I think of the serious impact bullying can have on a child’s health. More than the absence of disease, health is the complete state of physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual […]
Every year around Thanksgiving, I’m reminded of the biblical origins of giving thanks, and what giving thanks has become in today’s society. In the Bible, giving thanks is a frequent theme. It comes up 102 times in the Old Testament and 71 times in the New Testament. The Bible talks about giving thanks for blessings, […]
In previous posts, I discussed how hormones help keep the brain functioning properly, as well as the danger of hormonal imbalance. If one part of your hormonal structure is off, it can create a downstream effect throughout the hormonal cascade that hampers brain function. It’s important to remember the concept of bio-individuality, which means we’re […]
There are certain things going on in the world that truly sadden me. As a doctor, a father of five and a human being, I simply can’t remain silent. Like most people, I was saddened to hear the news that Robin Williams committed suicide after a decades-long battle with depression. When I hear about the […]
In Part 1 of this post, we continued our discussion about the brain being the key to changing our behavior and transforming our bodies. I listed the various ways exercise can strengthen the brain as outlined by Dr. Daniel Amen in his book, Change Your Body, Change Your Brain. Now, it’s time to discuss what […]
In a previous post, I discussed the importance of maintaining the brain and what we can do to keep our brain chemistry balanced. After all, without a functioning brain, we cease to exist. When the brain isn’t firing on all cylinders, it can negatively affect every part of our lives. While the brain can self-regulate, […]
Change is something that most of us have trouble accepting or managing. Even though you may not like it, you cannot prevent change. From the womb to the tomb, our bodies are in a constant state of flux – physically, psychologically, nutritionally and emotionally. Think back to early childhood, adolescence, puberty and young adulthood, with […]
