A Mother’s Love Capable of Helping to Protect Your Health As An Adult
In honor of Mother’s Day this weekend, I want to share with you one of my all time favorite medical studies. It shows how a little TLC from your mom may actually help protect your health, well into adulthood. Published in 2005 in Dialoges in Clinical Neuroscience, researchers found that the how much affection a mommy rat showed to her babies in their first week of life protected them from future stress later on in life — decreasing their stress response and even lowering stress hormone production. Researchers compared two different types of mom rats, separating them ...

Are Your Weight Struggles From Subclinical Hypothyroidism? Probably, Here’s Help
What to do if counting calories, exercising, and making the environmental changes I suggested last week are not making any difference to your metabolism? What if you still feel sluggish, tired, and your weight just won’t budge? It could be subclinical hypothryoidism and adrenal fatigue. This super common condition is poorly understood and can literally simply be caused by prolonged stress. Ask yourself: have you been through a stressful period recently? Or have you been living under stress for a long period of time — months, years, even decades? If so, focusing on boosting thyroid and adrenal ...

How Our Environment Can Cause Weight Gain & What You Can Do About It
Although the traditional approach to weight loss focuses on calories in vs. calories burned, we are starting to become more and more aware about how our environment actually impacts our weight. There are many contributing factors, well beyond diet and exercise, that cause significant issues in our metabolism. In fact, the environment has such an impact on our weight that there is an entire category of environmental chemicals that are now considered obesogens — chemicals directly responsible for contributing to obesity. Obesogens increase fat has, modify our basal metabolic rate, alter our gut microbiota, promote chronic inflammation, interfere with ...

Slow Down Aging By Staying Hydrated… Especially Important This Spring & Summer
Known as the Elixir of Life for good reason, water is absolutely critical to our well being in every way. In fact, a new study just published in Jan 2023 in eBioMedicine found that dehydration, measured by how concentrated the salt is in your bloodstream, is actually a risk factor for premature death. Almost just as bad? It also accelerated biological aging. Mean if you run chronically dehydrated, your body is aging faster than your actual chronological age. And the worst part is that this is with your serum sodium still being in within normal limits — ...

How To Hear Your Body’s Intuition Speaking To You & How I Discovered Mine
One thing I know about intuition is this: everybody has it and everyone can use it. If I can access my intuition, absolutely without a doubt, so can you. I absolutely was THE most conventional person on the planet… since 5 years old my goal was to become a physician and I worked hard to become an M.D. by the age of 26 years old — I was square and type A and totally boxed into the world of conventional thinking. After I became pregnant with my first child, I fully intended to continue on ...

The Dance… My Latest Original Painting And Why I Painted It
“What is to give light must endure burning.” -Victor Frankl In turning 49. starting my 50th circle around the sun, I’m ever aware that time on this earth, any length of time, even one day of time, is precious.

To remind myself, I wanted to choose a word of the year that evoked the energy of wearing my body in ...

Why You Think More Clearly When You Spend Time Outside
We already know that grounding (touching) the earth outside immediately impacts our brains. This fantastic medical study, published in 2018, documents the brain wave shifts that happen near instantaneously, within milliseconds, recorded via an EEG (electroencephalogram) when the human body is grounded. Today I want to share with you a sneak peek of my next medical journal publication (submitted for review and accepted for publication in Open Journal Of Neurology & Neuroscience) where I suggest why it’s easier to think, and even get clarity and flashes of insight/intuition, when we are outside in nature. While grounding ...
