3 Ways to Beat the Tricky Treat Temptation
Halloween may be only a couple of days away, but I've been talking to worried nutrition patients about this tricky wellness subject for over a month now. The thought of free, unfettered all-day and night access to candy sends a shiver of diet dread down their spines. Well, I have good news, one day of being a chocoholic will not make you fat! The Cleveland Clinic reports that chocolate, in moderation, is good for you. Yes, the super dark chocolate is better than a mini kit-kat but it still has a bunch of flavonoids, antioxidants and falvanols -- all of which help reduce stress on the little cells in your body. No bones...

Effective Health Care: A Working Model May Be Closer Than You Think
Conversations about the changing health care system in America tend to focus on tools and obstacles: technology, tele-health, universal insurance, finances, politics, medicine and advanced specialized education for nurses and home health aides, but hidden behind all the noise is a serious effort to design "real life" health care models that deliver on some "real people" needs. Key among these needs are safety, independence, aging at home and less time in emergency rooms and hospitals. There are currently about 50 million Americans over age 65 on Medicare, and two-thirds of these individuals are dealing with multiple chron...

Failure Lab: Weight Loss Surgery Was Never the Plan
When I started my journey to health I only knew one thing for sure. That I would lose weight and get healthy by any means necessary -- except surgery. I would not submit to an invasive procedure to do something many people are able to do: control themselves. That would be a complete and utter failure. That would be rock bottom. I've never voluntarily admitted failure. This post is the result of an intervention. One night last spring my therapist excitingly started a session asking me to share my story at an event she was sponsoring. I'll admit my ego stroked. But then she continued, "It's called Failure Lab. A few storyte...

So many experts today talk about letting go of dieting, eating in tune with your body, and learning to listen to your body's needs.

Why the Smells of Flowers Affect Us More Than We Think
By Pat Miller, florist on BloomNation and Owner of A Bed of Roses Florist in San Francisco, CA It turns out there's a reason why you love decorating your home and office with fresh flowers -- biophilia. According to prominent German psychologist Eric Fromm, biophilia is "the passionate love of life and of all that is alive." This natural tendency makes the exposure to plants and flowers on a regular basis more necessary than most would think. Unfortunately, our cemented-over way of daily living disconnects us from the natural world, both physically and emotionally. Recent studies at Harvard and Rutgers show that expos...
