Photo by Paula May on Unsplash By Morella Devost Your thoughts and emotions affect your health (or lack of it) as much as the food you eat. The fact is that truly healing and thriving require not just a healthy diet, but also healthy thoughts and a healthy emotional expression. I have found this to be true for myself and my clients. In my case, after battling cystic acne and hormone problems for over a decade, it all quickly resolved itself when I created the optimal healing conditions within my body, mind, and heart. And with my clients, for the past [...]

Photo on Unsplash By Lisa Profera MD It’s a new year, so why not set a goal to renew your skin? The latest trends in skincare promote advanced rejuvenation with little to no downtime. Gone are the days where you had to hide out for a week or so at home after a laser procedure because you look like a burn victim. Now we can increase collagen and elastin, plumpness and volume, luminosity and glow, while correcting uneven pigmentation, acne, inflammation, and fine lines and wrinkles — all in one fell swoop!

BIG WORRIES & GOOD NEWS ABOUT HEALTHY AGING

Julie Palmer2020-01-07T17:07:41-05:00

Photo from David Matos on Unsplash By Theresa Reid One of the many life experiences 30-year-olds share with older people is their fear that age will rob them of physical and cognitive health. In a large and rigorous nationwide survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago and West Health Institute a few years ago, 70% of people aged 30 and up said losing their memory and physical health were top worries about aging. I am happy to report that for most of us, these fears are overblown. Let’s get the bad news out of the way first. Several factors [...]

Photo on Virtuoso.com By Beth Johnston It’s another new year — hello 2020! Many people make New Year’s resolutions, and that often involves resolving to improve their health. It could be losing weight, getting in shape, having less stress, or a combination of all of these. We all know the drill: we are gung-ho for a few weeks, maybe if we are lucky it lasts a couple of months, and then life happens. We get stuck back in the same old rut we were in before. Now what? Would it surprise you to learn that travel is good for your health? [...]
