It’s hot outside!
My thermometer has been sticking around the 90° mark. But the heat index down here in South Florida has been averaging between 100° and 105°.
The Sunshine State isn’t the only one getting slammed by sizzling temperatures. Heat warnings and advisories have plagued many regions of the country during these steamy summer months. Continue reading

Living in this information age is both a blessing and a curse. Just look at an average trip to the doctor’s office.
Twenty years ago, I would have a patient walk in the door without a clue as to what was ailing them. I would listen to their symptoms and go through the routine steps of diagnosing their problem.
You know the drill…

Is it really true that milk “does a body good?”
Well, the answer to that depends…
Are you talking about milk for a baby cow, a baby goat, or a baby human? Then yes, milk is great for them. Continue reading

This year, chats with my patients have taken a darker turn.
Many of them are glued to their TVs and newsfeeds watching the latest developments – coronavirus, violent protests, brush fires, tragic deaths, political upheaval, data breaches, mass shootings…
It’s a long list. Continue reading

Every time I walk through the grocery store, I can’t help but shake my head if I’m walking on the inside aisles. All I see are rows and rows of fake foods.
Seriously! Most of the stuff we call food these days is nothing more than manmade flavorings, fillers and colors. You can barely even call them food.
The only real foods you’ll find have the label “organic” plastered all over them. Continue reading

Recently, I started using a water pick to clean my teeth after breakfast and dinner. Standing with my mouth wide open over the sink, I’ll shoot a steady stream of water over and between my pearly whites, front and back.
You know what? The amount of food particles that land in my sink is unbelievable. And that’s after brushing!
So, what’s your dental routine like? Continue reading

It’s not long ago that Americans cooked – and ate – fresh foods every single day of their lives. These foods didn’t come in a box or bag. They weren’t labeled. They didn’t even have an ingredient list or nutrition panel.
It was just food.
Those days are long gone. Today real foods have been replaced with manmade concoctions filled with chemical additives and flavorings. These fake foods are the mainstay for the majority of U.S. families. Continue reading

I knew a guy once… 38 years old and he had a stroke. His life was never the same.
My heart always goes out to stroke patients. One minute you’re perfectly fine – the next, you’re waking up in a hospital in complete confusion…if you’re lucky to wake up.
Then the recovery process starts… rediscovering language skills and re-training your body to cooperate with simple movements. Continue reading

Remember… “You are what you eat!”
You know, my grandma used to say that all the time. But as a kid, it never made much sense. After all, I didn’t look anything like a broccoli sprout or a banana.
Years later, I learned the original phrase came about in 1825. Its original form was, “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.”
Either way you state it, the general idea is the same… what you put in your mouth makes a big difference for what you’re building your body with. Continue reading

There’s a new kid on the block…
It’s a fizzy, tangy, and sometimes sweet drink. The health benefits are impressive and the taste is – in my opinion – delicious.
I’m talking about kombucha! Continue reading
