I will never forget walking into my new friend’s hip New York apartment and seeing a humongous banner draped across the entire wall of his place. It read in big bold capital letters: LOVE FOR REALITY CONQUERS LOVE FOR FANTASY!There is nothing greater than creating your life to be so rich that it is better than fantasy. And nothing is greater than loving your own life. If you think about it, all of... 10/31/2018 7:00:00 AM

by Dr. Danielle Dowling
About Me View My Posts
Life is full and it can move fast. No matter who you are, I would guess that statement is true for you too. Sometimes that fast-paced fullness can feel exhilarating, but on a consistent basis, it can feel more like stress. That stress can cause pretty intense and challenging emotions like anger, anxiety, fear, and loneliness — to name just a few. While life will most likely always be fast-paced and... 10/30/2018 7:00:00 AM

The loaded question we all want the answer to is how to get a flat stomach? We want to sculpt tight abs on our belly, but how?

This is especially true for the elderly, the immune-suppressed, pregnant women, people already sick, and people that work with the public. If the powers that be (Big Pharma, the AMA, the CDC, etc.) were being entirely forthcoming, honest and comprehensive about the information... 10/28/2018 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
Our shoulder joint is a leading commander for our upper body movements. Composed of 4 ligaments (tissue that connects bones to other bones) that stabilize the shoulder, injury to the area is quite common. Repetitive motions, especially overhead movements, are a major culprit. Baseball and tennis athletes as well as carpenters and painters, are all common victims.

About Me View My Posts
Food is such a prevalent part of our life and can affect our mood, time, body shape, and overall health. The choices are endless when it comes to what we put in our mouths, and for some that decision leaves meat out of the picture. People might make their plate based on religion, their health status, or as part of their environmental beliefs. Two types of eating have become popular meatless options,... 10/24/2018 7:00:00 AM
