Sleep does not come easy in modern life. A million notifications, dinging and ringing and grabbing every thread of attention you have left. Fast paced scenes. Screens. Big ones, small ones, Gas Station TV. Screens on billboards, screens above urinals, screens at the ball game. Monitors, displays, and loud commercials. Pharmaceutical commercials. Gambling commercials. Ruining any semblance of peace and quiet we had left in this country. A never ending carousel of noise and cla

Today I'd like to focus on the meat department. Your “proteins.” Our focus as healthy individuals should be on “whole food” living. And what exactly does that mean? It means mostly staying away from the middle of the grocery store. I want you to start mapping out your grocery store the next time you visit. Usually, the produce section comes first. Beyond that, you’ll find meat and seafood. Continue around, and you will find the dairy section. So far, so good. In the middle of

When I turned 14, I got a summer job mowing lawns. $6 an hour, all in. Operating a zero-turn Scag mower in the Michigan sunshine was a sweaty, thrilling experience for a 130-pound redhead with the most Irish of complexions. I loved that job.

You're not feeling like yourself. You had a rough week, a terrible month, and you reach for a tub of ice cream, a bottle of wine, or a bag of Cheetos. We've all been there. During my clinical rotations in school, I had no fewer than five different flavors of Jeni's Ice Cream in my freezer at any given time.
