1. Something I am reflecting on… I am thinking about 9/11. I’ve spent some time this week reading some articles and looking at historic photographs from that event. I was surprised to find out that of the 2,753 people killed in the World Trade Center attacks, more than 1,100 victims (about 40% of those who…
If there is one thing that most people fear, it is getting older. It is scary to think that your youth will eventually drift away, your skin will wrinkle, your range of motion will decrease, you will lose muscle mass and get weaker, and your body and abilities will break down. Is there a way…
1. Wellness tip… There are many “keys” to success when it comes to living the wellness lifestyle. One of the most impactful keys to being more consistent and more successful is preparation. If you fail to plan for your day or week, it is very, very hard to stay on track. Laying out supplements ahead…

She reminds them that their stomach, organs, and every other part of their…

1. Quote I love… “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” -Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from the Birmingham Jail I wanted to add this quote to the blog I posted…

But in reality, we’d be naïve to think that censorship has not been happening for decades, if not centuries. I couldn’t tell you the history of censorship, but now…
1. Someone I am following closer… Dr. Zach Bush, I believe, is one of the smartest, most well-spoken, and thought-provoking people ON THE PLANET. He’s one of the few triple board certified physicians in the country. I LOVE this guy! I’m watching and reading anything and everything he posts. It’s people like this who give…
I have a patient who has been trying to get his wife to come in to our office for ongoing headaches. This past week, he told me that he reached a level of frustration like never before. His wife was struggling with a headache, as she does often, and again failed to do anything about…
