The word hormone is widely misunderstood. Bring it up, and people immediately think about sex, mood swings, PMS, or menopause. The truth is, each of us is one big hormone casserole! Hormones are a part of your endocrine system, and in short, they are chemical messengers that control and are affected by every single thing …
So many things in our lives rely on balance to thrive. Everything from our work/life balance to the bacteria living in our guts help to determine how well our body works and how we feel everyday. The interesting thing about the body systems is that they all seem to thrive on the same kind of …

Yesterday was a hungry day. I woke up hungry and on the verge of cranky. But I didn’t need or want to be cranky, with my littlest love by my side (even though he did not lie still for a whole minute the entire night). It’s winter break from school (his, not mine)—and I thought …
You have spoken, and it sounds like you are interested in candida. How exciting for me…I have so much to say about it, after my extensive experience with it personally and through research. It seems like the best way for me to start, is to tell you my story and then to address the topic …

Today, I begin teaching a new (to me) course called Vitamins, Herbs, and Nutritional Supplements. This is kind of fitting–as I’m prepping to write a succinct (hopefully) user friendly review of Magnesium, since it appears many people may be interested in this topic. (If you’re not, skip down to the bottom for a few pics!) …
I just finished watching the local news, which was reporting sensationally on the health of women in the US. Note: 12 states failed, and no state excelled. We’re not surprised, right? They noted that the states doing particularly poorly were those who did not have any legislation about health, or any promotional or educational campaigns aiming to …
I have spent most of my adolescent and adult life trying to be in good shape, and at different times I’ve been in better and worse physical condition, with the low points being (1) after my sister died and I moved from Boston back to Penn Yan (aka: the land of Pizza Hut eaters, no …
