Georgia O'Keefe: Artistic and Culinary Pioneer
Pedernal Mountain.
by guest blogger Pam Peeke, MD, MPH, FACP, FACSM, best-selling author and expert on health, fitness, and nutrition

Rising Cost of EpiPens Forcing Some Allergy Sufferers to Switch to Syringes
Denise Ure was midway through an afternoon snack when she tasted the peanut.
Driving home from work in peak hour traffic, she had opened up a prepackaged bag of coconut cashews, a snack she had been eating for years without problems. Despite her peanut allergy, tree nuts are safe for her to eat.

"I had a couple of choices. Pull over and call 911 and use the EpiPen, or drive to the hospital using a low traffic route and use the EpiPen if my body start...

I Thought I Knew a Lot About Health. Then I Did the Whole30
I love salads, quinoa, and kale. I'm in yoga teacher training, I'm a triathlete, and I enjoy sweating every day.
