I’m Trying to Fall Asleep But I’m Too Wound Up!
By
Linda Mintle
I spent too much money on a pillow that was supposed to help me sleep better. The promise was that it would stay cool and not cause any neck discomfort. It is a comfortable pillow, but I still find myself waking in the middle of the night, turning the pillow over to cool it down.…

By
Linda Mintle
Let’s say you just had a check up and found out your blood sugar was too high. Your doctor talked to you about managing your diet in a way that might bring those levels down. Now, it is up to you to follow through with a plan. Will you do it? In order to get…
Are You a Hoarder?
By
Linda Mintle
You walk down the stairs to your basement. It is filled with stuff, everywhere. There isn’t a pathway to walk because of all the boxes and things you have stored and kept. You are afraid to throw away anything. After all, you might need it one day. Your husband tries to get you to get…

Imagine living your life free from distraction, distortion, obsession and self-preoccupation…imagine living in the moment and liberated from the patterns of the past while being excited about the future.

Who is Telling Grandma to Stop Baking Cookies?
By
Linda Mintle
My grandmother could cook with a vengeance. I have many fond memories of sitting at the kitchen table watching her pull dough for strudel, bake pies and create German delights. So when the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) came out with advice for grandparents about teaching healthy eating to their grandkids, I sighed! Really, can’t…

Worry is one of the easiest things to do considering the world in which we live. We can worry about anything—nuclear war, unrest in the Mideast, a failing economy, our marriage, aging parents, what to wear to a party or whether or not our jeans make us look fat. From major to minor concerns, the…
5 Ways Parents Can Help Kids Who Use Hurtful Words
By
Linda Mintle
“You are an idiot and I hate you!” “You make me sick! Loser!” Parents cringe when they hear this type of speech out of the mouths of children. The tongue is one of the most powerful parts of the body (James 3) and the Bible provides guidelines for our speech. So the importance of bridling our…
Real Pain, But No Solution?
By
Linda Mintle
“Hey doc, I have this pain in my back and I don’t know why?” Chances are, your doctor may not know either. One study (2011, 620 German primary-care patients, Journal of Psychosomatics) estimates that up to two-thirds of patient pain complaints are unexplained. Other reports seem to confirm this idea that pain can’t always be explained.…
Is Monogamy Only for Women?
By
Linda Mintle
I generally like the work of biological anthropologist, Helen Fisher. She wrote a book called, The Anatomy of Love, and concludes that women are more wired for monogamy than men. She claims that men are wired to want sex with many partners and women with just one partner. She believes the difference has to do with women’s…

By
Linda Mintle
What if eating strawberries, cucumbers and other produce could prevent an Alzheimer’s patient from memory loss? There may be new evidence for this based on mice studies. These findings have not been replicated on Alzheimer patients yet, but the mice may tell us something that will direct our research. Here is what researchers at the…
