Yes, I Do That

On Women, Hormones, and Other Things that go Bump in the Night

Let’s start with hormones. As we age, our hormones inevitably shift. A multiplicity of factors contribute to this shift, so let’s examine those areas we can influence. In this first installment, I’d like to focus on diet.

Knees, Knees, Knees

By understanding your knee’s normal structure and function, we can usually find a way back to a healthier situation. In fact, I use this same kind of approach when dealing with most conditions, from back pain to digestive problems to fatigue to depression to…well, you name it.

Chasing the Blues, Day by Day

As we shift into the darker months it is important to remember that there are lots of factors at play on our systems. As the solstice approaches, shorter days means less light and, for some of us, increased depression and anxiety. This can also be accompanied by a tendency to crave sugar, which we masochistically… [Continue Reading]

Here a Bug, There a Bug

My, there seem to be a lot of pesky bacteria these days wreaking havoc on the immune systems of unsuspecting humans. Take the recent furor over e.coli-contaminated spinach. It was troubling, but it offers some productive (and non-toxic) food for thought. Why, for example, did some people exposed to the e.coli bacterium not succumb to… [Continue Reading]

Atkins Absolved, Again

A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine has concluded that eating a low-carb, high-fat diet does not raise the risk of heart disease. Too bad Dr. Atkins didn’t live to see his work vindicated. But guess what else the study found? Women who got their carbohydrates from refined sugar nearly doubled… [Continue Reading]

Adverse drug reactions in the news, Part 2

When we look at the drug reaction data more closely, we find that the incidence of adverse reactions is 33% higher in people aged 50-59 than in people aged 40-49. Of course, one reason for that is that, the older we get, the more drugs we tend to “need.” But there’s more to it than… [Continue Reading]

Adverse drug reactions in the news, Part 1

This week, adverse drug reactions made the headlines. The AP reported a study showing adverse reactions result in more than 700,000 visits to emergency rooms every year. That’s reactions to legit drugs, to prescribed pharmaceuticals — insulin, blood thinners, antibiotics, statins, etc. — and a few over-the-counter medications, like aspirin. Seven hundred thousand. Annually. Sounds… [Continue Reading]

Chasing the Blues, Day by Day

As we shift into the darker months it is important to remember that there are lots of factors at play on our systems. As the solstice approaches, shorter days means less light and, for some of us, increased depression and anxiety. This can also be accompanied by a tendency to crave sugar, which we masochistically reinforce with holiday celebrations focused around sugar and white flour. Once in motion, the snowball grows. We avoid exercise, since we’re sluggish from haywire nutrition and easily … [Read More...]

Knees, Knees, Knees

I've been thinking a lot about knees lately. Why, you might ask? Perhaps, like many people, you don't think of knee problems as "chiropractic" problems.  Maybe you think chiropractic physicians are limited to just cracking backs and adjusting necks. Recently, one of my patients told me that, when she told a friend she was seeing her chiropractic physician for her knee problem, the response she got was, "Why would you go to a chiropractor for your knee?" Why, indeed? Well, would you be … [Read More...]
