Dr. Steve Maraboli, a motivational speaker, bestselling author and Behavioral Science Academic is quoted as saying: “I promise you nothing is as chaotic as it seems. Nothing is worth diminishing your health. Nothing is worth poisoning yourself into stress, anxiety and fear.” I couldn’t agree more. These emotional disruptors to the happy beings we are …
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was defined as a “disease” in the 1990’s. Yet there is no test to confirm it, no mutually agreed upon set of symptoms and no medically defined cure. If it was “just” fatigue, there are many tests to rule out diseases, or to suppose a cause. But because of the complexity of …
As the holidays come to a close, we begin contemplating the New Year and the improvements we would like to make in our lives. Invariably, it comes to being healthier, eating better, losing weight. On that vein, can I make a few suggestions? Veggies, veggies, and more veggies! That’s my first suggestion. Make it a …
In earlier articles we have discussed the false notions of eating fat making you fat, how bad fat contributes to diseases, and how good fats are essential to health. But the looming question is, what fats (and oils) do I eat, and how? First of all, I want to discuss it in terms of oils, …
Headaches (all types) plague more people in the United States than perhaps any single symptom (except fatigue).

We’ve all heard the words “gut-wrenching pain”, but until you have colitis, irritable bowel, diverticulitis, Crohn’s Disease or any other inflammatory bowel disease, you really don’t have a clue how accurate those words are. The severe pain, often followed by a quick dash to a restroom leaves the sufferer to reach for anything they can …
Cardiovascular disease is a growing concern. When educational classes are given, it focuses on the “Big 3” – obesity, exercise, and eating fat and salt-free diet. However, heart disease is much more than that. It can be likened to a very busy freeway, fast or slow traffic, hectic, gridlock. When driving on a freeway, everything …
As we complete a weekend of exercise extremes, many people take a look at their own level of exercise. You don’t have to be an Ironman or Hoopfest participant to be physically fit.

Seems like everyone I talk to these days have complaints of GERD (Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease), heart burn, hiatal hernia and other digestive complaints. They pop antacid and acid reducing pills like candy, thinking they are curing their disease. The truth is, the drugs are not cures. They suppress stomach acid (stomach enzymes!) to give relief, …
