Giving Up TV
July 26, 2010
By Rory Freedman
July 1, 2010 It scares me to even write this because then it will be real. But that’s exactly why I need to write this – I need it to be real. I need to put it out there and be accountable.

Anger
June 25, 2010
Hey Pissed-off Posies! Did you know that repressed anger can not only make you unhappy, but it can make you unhealthy? I don’t know about you, but I used to squish my feelings down. Well, this week I had an opportunity to express some hot holy hell and I learned a lot from what happened. When you get pissed do you deal with it or do you lie to protect others and avoid tough questions?… Read More >
Poor Eating Habits: A Century in the Making
June 22, 2010
By Neal Barnard, MD
What is making Americans gain weight? Which foods are responsible for the obesity epidemic? Is it soda? Fast food? In the May 2010 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, I published a detailed analysis of how diets have changed over the past century, based on government records going back to 1909. The results were surprising—even sobering—and I thought I would share them with you. Here’s what we found: Compared to a century ago,… Read More >

Acupuncture: How, When, and Why?
June 1, 2010
By Tracy Piper
Today I want to talk to you about one of my life’s passions: Acupuncture. Acupuncture, one of the oldest healing practices in the world, is an alternative healing modality used to restore and maintain health. Fine sterile needles are placed at specific points of the body, which stimulate qi (life force energy). Acupuncture can be used for many ailments but must be performed by a qualified practitioner to be safe and effective. Our body is… Read More >
Transforming the Body into a Sanctuary
May 31, 2010
By Guest Blogger
Photo Credit: Hillary Harvey By Jeffrey Davis I don’t have time to feel ill. At least, that used to be my attitude. I didn’t ignore a head cold or sinus infection. I just had my acupuncturist wife pin me down to perk me up, practiced a few key yoga postures, and moved on. Dis-ease desisted. But then a tick bit me in the gut and kicked my attitude in the butt. That was in June… Read More >

By Guest Blogger
As you might already know, digestion (and good healthy poops!) is one of my favorite topics. “Probiotics” are all the rage these days but with so many to choose from what’s a crazy sexy gal or dude to do? I’ve found that Dr. Ohirra’s blend gives me perky and productive bowels. I’ve ask Martie (an expert at Ohirra headquarters) to share the nuts and bolts of bacteria in our bellies and explain why bacteria help… Read More >
How To Activate the “Rest and Digest” System
May 20, 2010
By Guest Blogger
By Giuliana Torre The key for optimum health is operating from the parasympathetic nervous system as opposed to the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The sympathetic nervous system is what activates the flight or fight response. It is triggered by stress, fear, caffeine, and just about anything else that causes the heart rate to increase and keeps us living on an adrenaline rush. For many of us, this is a state that is sustained all day… Read More >
The Scoop on Omega-3
May 19, 2010
By Brendan Brazier
Recently I saw a generic brand of knock-off Oreo cookies. Not surprisingly, the first ingredient was refined sugar and the second was bleached, white flour. Across the front of the box, larger than the name of the cookies, it said: omega-3. That was the most prominent text! And while omega-3 is vastly important (essential even), the way its suggested usage is being promoted has become somewhat misguided. As with many healthy foods or nutrients grabbed… Read More >
Airport Radiation and Your Health
May 14, 2010
By Gabriel Cousens MD
A new threat, using another level of security scare, is being used to expose the flying population to either excessive ionizing radiation or ultra high frequency radiation. Thanks to the attempted airliner bombing on Christmas 2009, TSA Security Laboratory Director Susan Hallowell recently announced the agency’s intent to use back-scatter X-ray machines for passenger surveillance. Obviously we need to refine our screening techniques to provide maximum safety for our air travel. However, these X-ray machines… Read More >
