When it comes to our health, we like to think that we are in control. And if we are not in control, a quick visit to our family doctor will put it back into our control. Once person I was working with recently told me, completely serious when he said this, I’m in great health! When I asked him if he were on any medications, he then listed one drug after the other. He was on a drug for his high cholesterol. “But as long as I take the drug, I’m just fine”, he said. And then he told me about the drug he was taking for his high blood pressure. And the drug he was taking for his blood sugar. And that his diet was working well, that he had lost 5 pounds over the last 3 months (he weights almost 300 pounds). He seriously thought he was in great health, that he had everything under control.
Makes me wonder how many other people think that they …

I think everyone likes Anderson Cooper. Did you know that his mother is Gloria Vanderbilt? Gloria Vanderbilt, a fashion icon, noted for her swan logo on the back of her world renowned skinny jeans.
So you would think that Anderson Cooper, of CNN fame would have grown-up with everything given to him. He should never have had to work a day in his life, like say Paris Hilton. But that is not the story of Anderson.

We all want to feel great and look great. And as we age, it seems that we need to pay more and more attention to ourselves. If you don’t, sooner or later it will catch up to you and you will pay the price. The price of neglect has been told to us over and over again. Saying such as “a stitch in time saves nine” and “an ounce or prevention is worth a pound of cure” show that taking care of ourselves while we still have our health is ancient knowledge.
Health is about Balance and ...Read More

As we get into our 40′s and older, our bodies just don’t seem to keep up like they used to. In fact, we start going downhill even in our 30′s. We just
start to realize it in our 40′s. Vision not quite as good as it once once, hearing not quite as sharp. And your verve, your zest for life isn’t quite what it used to be.
It seems that even though we are trying to do everything we can to stay young, we are aging. What’s going on?
Some us take multivitamins to stay healthy. And others run or jog religiously, all to stay young. But it doesn’t work. Arthritis, mood changes, loss of libido and even depression

Two women, identical twins, whose father was an abusive alcoholic were studied when they were in their adult years. One woman was an alcoholic. When asked why she drank like she did, her answer was that she had no choice, she was a result of her upbringing.
When her sister was interviewed, it turned out that she abstained from all alcohol. When she was asked why she stayed away from all alcohol, her answer was the same as her sisters, that she really had no choice because of her upbringing.
And that is the dilemma. Your environment does seem to have a role in who you are, but how is it possible that these two women had such opposite outcomes?
How we react to….Read More

The old me was comfortable where it was, and yet I knew that I couldn’t stay in this place. I knew that I had to get going, but there was a lot of inner resistance to moving on. And it wasn’t just inner resistance that was stopping me. There was family, my high school friends and the comfort of feeling “at home”.
