The “organic” Way to Younger Skin
What do you think when you hear about stem cells?
Perhaps you think they are “experimental” or you’re concerned about what you’ve read or heard in the news media about stem cells from embryos.
But there is a better way to view this therapy. Stem cells are part of your body and its own natural healing mechanism. In my view, they are probably the ultimate natural healer.
We began offering stem cell treatments last month at the Sears Institute of Anti-Aging Medicine — and the results have been just amazing.
I now use stem cells right across the anti-aging medical spectrum — from cosmetic procedures to treating chr...

Men’s virility… much more than low-T
A low level of testosterone (“low-T”) is a huge problem for my older male patients… and it goes far beyond a decline in sexual drive.
How low-T affects your health…
Low-T associated with aging also causes decreased muscle mass and bone density, reduced insulin resistance and energy, and even depression.
But going to a “low-T” clinic is not going to help you.
These places are often fly-by-night operations that hand out “prescriptions” for testosterone that are rubber stamped by doctors who don’t even see the men coming into the clinics.
Even worse, they don’t understand the testosterone protocol you M...

5 Simple Ways To Make Your Hands Look Younger
While we're busy applying various anti-aging creams to our faces and running to the colorist to cover our grays, we often forget the body part that typically reveals our age first: our hands.

Here are some simple ways you can turn back the clock on your hands and deal with common aging issues like dryness and age spots. 1. Wear gloves. Washing the dishes every night can dry out your skin, with the hot wate...

5 Easy Breakfast Bowls That Are Healthier Than Cereal
There’s no speedier morning routine than pouring milk over a bowl of cereal, but breakfast from a cardboard box is far from the most energizing choice. Luckily, you can shovel in a quick-and-easy breakfast while majorly upping the nutrition of your meal by opting for a breakfast bowl. The key is to start with minimally-processed whole grains and seeds, which will keep you feeling fuller longer (no more mid-morning trip to the vending machine!) and might even help you live longer. Oats may be the first thing that comes to mind, but consider the wide array of options that make a great base, including couscous, quinoa, ...

6 Healthy Habits That You Might Be Overdoing
SPECIAL FROM Next Avenue By Linda Melone Taking any action to an extreme — even a healthy one — can have negative consequences. Striving to lose weight becomes unhealthy if it turns into an eating disorder, for example.

Other, less extreme, examples can also work against your goal of creating healthier habits and a healthy body. Here are six ways that common, good practices can sometimes work against you: 1.

The Truth About Sex After Menopause
When I started my blog in May 2014, I had been re-singled for a year-and-a-half after a long marriage. I was dating up a storm and feeling at the top of my game intellectually, sexually, and simply as an empowered woman in the world. My experience ran counter to the conventional wisdom that women lose their desirability once they're of a certain age. So I decided to spread the word that midlife sexuality could be a bountiful time for women as long as they don't buy into the myth that they're going to be exiled to Crone Land. But when I read a piece in HuffPost last month, written by a 60-year-old woman who reported a decl...

7 Steps to Living an Organic Lifestyle
Research has shown the benefits of adopting a more organic lifestyle over the conventional one that is the staple of most people in the western world. Even so, the task of adopting a completely organic lifestyle can be seen as daunting, expensive and just too damn hard. Many people who recognize the likely benefits of including organic food and other organic products (think personal care and cleaning products) in their lives can fall by the wayside when they try to embrace the change cold turkey and with no going back. I would advocate a different approach: Take baby steps, notice any difference in your health, moods and...
