What do Thanksgiving dinner after-effects say about you? I’m stuffed! I think I’ll lie down on the couch for a bit and relax. Maybe watch some football. An hour and a half later, you awake, just in time for dessert and the second half of the game. This all-too-typical after-meal snooze has become so common as to seem normal, but does it say something deeper about you? Can it tell of your existing state of wellness and of states to come in the future? Caused largely by carb co

And, you’re going to be stunned at how easily you can avoid it if you know this key… Do you “carry” stress in your body somewhere? Does it manifest in your shoulders, your digestive, your neck or back. Has it worsened a menstrual cycle or made muscle strengthening a chore? Or, are you just tired or fatigued, anxious, stressed or even depressed? Have you felt your age working against you or ever wondered if the “pain-and-breakdown-come-with-age” thing is really a fact of life?

And you won’t believe how easy it is to control once you know it! What is the most horrifying, dangerous pandemic of them all? You won’t find it under a microscope. You won’t see it in a blood or urine sample. And, no x-ray has ever shown it directly. But it is nonetheless, not a disease, but an instigator of malfunction, a breakdown which can, yes, result in disease and poor health. The troublemaker? STRESS! Stress is the ultimate in, not creating disease, but ushering it in

No, it’s not a cute game app to play. It’s Halloween. And it’s here again. And so is the candy. But the “crush” is actually a crash. And whether or not trick-or-treating is happening this year, the candy manufacturers are up to their best tricks to sell us their treats! It doesn’t end here, however. Halloween could also be considered a “gateway holiday” to the Holiday Season. All the while the two-month sugar binge begins. So, what’s the big deal? The issue is really not the

It was shocking to find out because the ages were younger than expected, too young it seemed to have signs of fatigue and extreme stress. People find themselves weak in the face of environmental stress, and started “wearing” what they should have been warding off. But, a recent, very informal yet revealing survey of corporate personnel turned up some very interesting facts. The most startling of which were that a majority of people aged 23-35 were suffering from the effects o

Stressful day? Can’t sleep? Need to relax? You reach for a glass and a bottle and expect to relax. Maybe you felt a little less stressed for the moment. Maybe you fell asleep. But for some, this becomes habit and, over time, this fails to work like it used to. And now you have stress and a wine habit too. No, it’s not an addiction at this point, but it is an endless cycle of trying to relax. What most fail to realize is that they are trying to handle relaxation from stress, a

Food and drink. Eating and drinking. Digestion and absorption. All of these are normal factors of everyday life. All are needed to keep things working. When they aren’t working, we often seek therapeutic intervention. Physical therapy, acupuncture, Chiropractic treatment, massage, stretching, yoga and the like are among the most popular, while taking supplements and even meds are just as common. But what if all of this meant nothing in the face of resolving the stresses, pain

There you are with someone who is visibly upset. You get that uncomfortable “feeling in your gut” and start becoming a little annoyed. You were perfectly happy but somehow, even physically, you don’t feel as “happy” as you were before and maybe quite irritated. Did you ever have an argument with someone in traffic? You were having a perfectly nice day and suddenly you feel different. This is how stress can be considered viral or contagious. And, when we “catch” that stress fr

It is kind of an open-ended question. And its answer varies from person to person. Why would that be? The answer actually can be “yes” for any given person. It only depends on whether YOU have found it or not. This is not to be cute or funny. It is quite a literal statement of fact. It can only be found individually. No “blanket-find” is actually possible. So, this is not to suggest that you go to anyone else to “search” for it. The answers come from within. It simply means t

Do time machines exist? Some believe they are possible, others think them fantasy. But, depending on how you look at it, if a look back in time is in some way possible, if you can find information there that explains the present and if you can use it to influence your future, time travel is definitely possible. And it is. But the secret hasn’t been kept by top scientists or secret societies. In fact it has been very public knowledge, known by Chiropractors, Nutritionists and

You inherently know stress affects your gut. Though you may not consider yourself a stressful person, you’ve undoubtedly proven it to yourself that its possible. Whether having to give a speech in front of people, facing up to a situation you didn’t want to, or even getting nervous on a first date, those “butterflies” you get in your abdomen are quite distinct. Some people suffer from “nervous” stomach while still others have ulcers. All manner of digestive issues are rather

When You Start ‘Wearing’ (or at least ‘Carrying’) the Environmental Stress That Surrounds You… Want to talk about ‘Space Invaders’ for real? They don’t come from outer space or from an 80’s video game. But they are quite real and do exist. And you might have not realized it but they may have ‘abducted’ you when you weren’t looking. This is proven time and again from asking people the following question: Where do you carry your stress? When asked, an overwhelming majority of p

Hysteria has been a subject of discussion of late and there is no question as to its effects. There is also no doubt in the average person’s mind that it can be contagious. That is all too obvious. And, although there are many environmental reasons for people to react in fear or anxiety, it very often starts closer to home, so close that it is hidden from view. We are speaking, of course, about the anxiety that comes from within. While mental or even spiritual reasons could b

Some people complain they ‘carry’ their stress when they shouldn’t have picked it up at all! It wasn’t ever necessary! Where do you “carry” your stress? Seems like a logical question. After all, you probably had an immediate answer when you read it. You may have pointed to your shoulders or neck, your back or other areas of mild or even infrequent, yet noticeable discomfort. You may have even pointed to your stomach or digestive function! But what if you were to find out that

Not only does the “sleep diet” exist but it actually is the ONLY diet….so wake up and take notice! You’d better get to sleep because you may wake up to a whole new body! Think it’s a joke? It’s not. There is some sound logic to the science behind sleep. And if you add in a little self-awareness you will find yourself getting results for, perhaps the first time ever! Understanding what powers sleep, and conversely what inhibits it, you can gain control over its effects, includ

Just when you thought knew everything there was to know about Calcium… School was out. Way out. Somewhere we left the schoolroom and attended the school of advertising. And the subject of calcium (along with many other health-related subjects) became a “belief” or a “notion” of what it was. And this cursory understanding is where all the trouble started. It started the moment we found out the “facts” we hold true and feel there is nothing more to know; at least until we’re of

Lest we forget, proper nutrition is the first thing to remember! Memory. Something we all take for granted, cognitive function is only noticed when it fades. Otherwise we tend to “forget” about it. Memory loss gets our full attention. Yet, we soon forget its impact. Most of us have experienced it, if temporarily, when we, inadvertently, “create” the situation for ourselves. But is it something to remember more regularly? While memory itself is a bit of a mystery to express in

Pain is an unwanted, disliked condition, but itself ISN’T a diagnosis! Pain. We all hate it. After quarantine you may have even experienced more of it. No one EVER enjoys it. We always want to be rid of it. Far beyond riddance, however, we always want to know WHY we have it. But, sometimes, we are told we can’t know… It is obviously no joke, yet the joke is on us when we appeal for help with it and are given a diagnosis labelling it. What would you think if you went to the do

Loving yourself before anyone else starts with being well! We’ve all heard it and know it well… “Before you love anyone, you must love yourself!” But, is falling in love with yourself any different than falling for that most special other. We go on about the ideal mate, someone who meets all over our desires, standards and needs. We are always searching for “the one” in our quest for love. When it comes to ourselves in our own physical well-being, however, we tend to fall sho

If you only knew their best-kept secret, you could be practically pain/stress-free. But the secret is finally out! Athletic fitness, performance and physical balance only for the pro-sports elite? A stress-free, no-pain existence for only a fortunate few? Luck of the draw, the “draft” or the hand you were dealt? Not anymore! Their secret is out. And it’s juicier than mere gossip or rumor. This is actually BIG NEWS! Athletes, especially professional ones, know how to perform a
