Let’s face it: with the demands of life, it can be challenging to make the changes necessary to be healthy. If your current state of health is keeping you from enjoying your life, doing the things you love, or affecting your relationships, it is time to do something about it.
When we are struggling with chronic health problems, often it is a sign that we need to look deeper into our lives and make a commitment to creating the life that we really want. This often means changing the way that we live as much as it does changing our diet, exercise habits, etc.
Rather than just putting a bandage on our symptoms to make us feel better, we need to make some changes that will enable healing to take place at a core level.

The Wake Up Call.
This is the one call we really don’t want. But for most of us, we receive the call, perhaps many times over until we “get the message.” It’s the call that can change your life.
I certainly got the wake up call 6 years ago when my body finally gave out and forced me to stop– in the form of a heart problem. Continue reading…
We all consume food daily, and because the food choices we make are intricately connected to our health and well-being, nutritional therapy is a healing that is accessible to each of us.
But nutrition is not just about the food we consume. Nutritional education is often overlooked in the training of medical practitioners. But Traditional Chinese Medicine places the highest priority on the state of digestion. Chinese medicine acknowledges that the nutritional content of food consumed is moot if an individual’s digestive system is so weak that it is unable to extract nutrients from the food.
A properly functioning digestive system is the key to vibrant health. And dietary therapy can be one of the highest levels of healing. The effects are far-reaching as because food satisfies both physical hunger and emotional hunger. Continue reading…
MSG is one of the worst food additives on the market. It is found in canned soups, crackers, meats, salad dressings, frozen dinners, chips and much more. In addition to being in many packaged and processed foods, MSG is often found in restaurants.
Even if you ask your server which menu items are MSG-free, if they use bottled sauces and liquids you can bet it has MSG in it. They didn’t knowingly “add” any MSG. Feel safe eating soup? Soup is usually made from chicken stock and that is notorious for having a form of MSG. This is one of the worst offenders.
Did you know that there are many different names for MSG? It’s a sneaky way for the food companies to include it in your food without your knowledge. Continue reading…

How many of you change the oil in your car?
One of my patients is an auto mechanic. I asked him if it was really necessary to change the oil and filter every 3,000 miles. He said “Absolutely! It’s the best thing you can do for your car. If you don’t change the oil, it turns to sludge and that affects the efficiency of your car.” Continue reading…
