New Year's Resolution Blogger: The Lure of the Quick Fix

Last week, I attended a seminar at the local hospital presented by a physician who specialized in internal medicine. Over the past few years, he has become very interested in integrative medicine, which combines traditional western medicine with more holistic, natural practices. His seminar was about herbal alternatives to certain medicines. He... Read moreChevron

New Year's Resolution Blogger: Trying to Make Healthier Choices

After two weeks of mostly sticking to a gluten and dairy-free diet, I have to admit that I am feeling a significant difference in my health.
