Grounding, Healthy Weight, Intuitive Medicine, Organic Lifestyle / By

I’ve been a physician for over 15 years and I’ve seen quite a lot of patients over those years.

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By

I’ve already blogged about how walking — just walking! — has been medically found to support cancer recovery better than any chemotherapeutic agent we have currently available.   And now, just released in 2015, the first meta-analysis looking at the effects of walking on sleep in cancer patients.   Sleep disorders are very common during cancer treatment and recovery with many patients reporting daily sleep disturbances which in turn affect physical function, healing, mood, energy levels, and quality of life.
