Mental Acuity: Your Brain on Food
Think about it. Your brain is always “on.” It takes care of your thoughts and movements, your breathing and heartbeat, your senses — it works hard 24/7, even while you’re asleep. This means your brain requires a constant supply of fuel. That “fuel” comes from the foods you eat — and what’s in that fuel makes all the difference. Put simply, what you eat directly affects the structure and function of your brain and, ultimately, your mood. Like an expensive car, your brain functions best when it gets only premium fuel. Eating high-quality foods that contain lots of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants nourishes the brain and protects it from oxidative stress — the “waste” (free radicals) produced when the body uses oxygen, which can damage cells.

Are Airport Security Scanners Actually Safe? We Still Don’t Have a Clear Answer
With the holiday travel season in full swing, millions of Americans will pass through airport security—and many will step into full-body scanners without a second thought. These scanners, officially called advanced imaging technology (AIT), have been a routine part of TSA screening since 2009. They were introduced after the “underwear bomber” incident that same year, when a passenger hid explosives in his clothing on a flight to Detroit. Yet despite their widespread use, AIT scanners were rolled out with very little transparency. Most travelers don’t realize that there has been no meaningful long-term study proving their safety, and very limited evidence that they prevent terrorism. As a health-focused practitioner, I can’t ignore this imbalance. I’ve opted out of body scanners for years, not because I fear flying—but because the benefits of this technology still aren’t clearly established, while the risks remain uncertain.

Rethinking Weight Management: Beyond Diets and Quick Fixes
For many people, the idea of weight management immediately brings to mind restrictive diets, endless calorie counting, or punishing exercise regimens. Yet, as most have discovered, these approaches rarely produce lasting change. They often leave people frustrated, fatigued, and no closer to the vitality and balance they’re seeking.

Soothe Your Stomach: Natural & Homeopathic Support for Acid Reflux, Indigestion, and Gas
Acid reflux is a common digestive complaint that occurs when the muscle at the base of the oesophagus (esophagus) relaxes at the wrong time, allowing stomach acid to flow upward. This can cause heartburn—a burning sensation that travels from the stomach into the chest or throat—and sometimes a sour or bitter taste in the mouth. Other symptoms may include bloating, discomfort after meals, or difficulty swallowing. For some, these episodes happen occasionally; for others, they are persistent and disruptive.

Core Stability & Coordination: The Missing Keys to Energy and Performance
We often hear about “strengthening your core,” but what does that really mean—beyond getting six-pack abs? In holistic health, core stability is far more profound than toned abdominal muscles.

It also impacts how efficiently we breathe, digest, and stay upright throughout the day.

The Perimenopause Diet
Hormones are the body's chemical messengers that control everything from mood swings to metabolism. Estrogen is one of the most popular hormones for women, produced by the ovaries, the adrenal glands, and the fat cells in the body.
