Yes, I said it.  Poop.  Not only did I just  say it, I make it a point to say it in every, single one of my Living Wellness University lectures- whether it is about the digestive system or it’s about your hormones- it applies and is critical to your health.  This guarded act of defecation…

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has released new advice regarding the view our little kiddos should have during the first two years of life (in the car that is).  In the April 2011 issue of Pediatrics, the AAP is now advising that we should keep children under the age of 2 in a rear-facing…

Why is it so hard to believe that a specific food could be the cause of so many of your health problems?  This is the question I pose to patients day in and day out.  As a patient of an integrative or functional medicine doctor, you would be asked to fill out a comprehensive health…

“These days, our culture encourages patients to find a doctor who understands their needs best, and to seek out treatment that best suits them, health experts say.  “What we noticed in the last 10 or 15 years, is the patients are now better at advocating for themselves. They are more critical of their options. They…
