I love our garden and going to the farmer’s markets. Fresh produce and the fun of gardening and shopping for it are some of my favorite parts of summer. Our great-great-grandparents subsisted on a completely organic diet! Think about this: modern farming methods that involve the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides [...]
Our focus this month is on posture. Every day we see patients with terrible posture. Some don’t even notice, some are embarrassed, some are oddly proud of how bad it has become and some feel guilty (they must be the ones who had nuns or yoga teachers nagging them). Why is it so important? Posture is vitally [...]
How old do you look? How about your spouse? How about your kids? We spend billions on skin care, Botox (yes even 20 year olds), surgery to look younger but how about that “hunch”? The hunch that is actually called the iHunch! In an article written for the New York Times, called "Your iPhone Is Ruining Your [...]

This month we are introducing our newest addition: Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM). FSM is technology that manipulates the electrical currents already existing in our bodies. Unlike other devices that use electricity like electrical stimulation (E-Stim or TENS [...]
As many of you know, I am much more of a people person than a machine person and have drug my feet on technology. The fact that I am writing this blog is a miracle. However, if technology is going to help with patient progress I am willing to move on it. I am in an international [...]
When I was in sixth grade, my father’s company did interest, aptitude and IQ testing for all of the employees children. My test showed that I had three separate interests: Physician, Social Work and Forest Ranger. Well, I have done 2 out of the three and frequently tease my husband that Forest Ranger is next. I love [...]
Summer is arriving momentarily and many of you are increasing your activities. We have all been cooped up for way too long and are excited about golf and kayaking and hiking and cycling and softball and tennis and running and all the other outdoor activities we love to enjoy! Just like everything all sports have their benefits [...]
Now that it has finally stopped raining we can get back in the garden. Some of you love it and some of you hate it but it is one of the best things you can do for your health. Several years ago a patient asked me to speak to her garden club. (And if any of you [...]
