Letting Go of a Depression Cure Can Set You Free
I keep going back to this quote by Vivian Greene when it comes to learning how to live with my chronic illness: “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain.”
In fact, every morning I drink out of a mug with that quote on it to remind myself of Vivian’s wisdom: IT’S NOT ABOUT GETTING TO THE OTHER SIDE. With chronic illness, the important exercise is to get out the rain boots and start stomping in the puddles — to not let the downpour stop you from living.
Going into the second decade of living with a host of conditions — retractable depression, inflam...

Are super foods good for your skin? Episode 137
Are super foods effective beauty ingredients?
Jana asks…What are your thoughts on super foods in skin care? Ingredients like acacia, coconut, grapeseed oil, berries, green tea, avocado, turmeric and resveratrol.
What the heck IS a super food? There is no scientific or medical definition. Typically you’ll see them described like this: “superfoods are nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals.”
Jana’s question comes at a good time because I was just asked this same thing by a reporter from R29. She asked about things like Kale, Spirulina, and Chia seeds.

Put Me In Coach: Wearables in Professional Sports
The following post first ran on Venture Valkyrie on April 10.
Old School Song by John Fogerty, Creedence Clearwater Revival: Put me in coach, I’m ready to play…

On St. Patrick’s Day eat green… leafy vegetables
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, here are a few reminders about the benefits of leafy green vegetables.
Lin Yan published the benefits of these foods in USDA Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center News, http://1.usa.gov/1U9vD8x on March 23, 2013. “Dark green leafy vegetables are great sources of nutrition. Salad greens, kale and spinach are rich in vitamins A, C, E and K, and broccoli, bok choy and mustard are also rich in many of the B-vitamins. These vegetables also contain an abundance of carotenoids—antioxidants that protect cells and play roles in blocking the early stages of cancer. They also c...

Learn or Die!
This post originally appeared on The Timmerman Report and then ran on Venture Valkyrie.
I have a new favorite TV show: Join or Die with Craig Ferguson. Ferguson is a irreverent, sometimes raunchy Scottish comedian who used to host the Late Late Show alongside his skeleton puppet sidekick Geoff. Join or Die airs Thursdays at 11 pm on the History Channel, which is your first clue that this isn’t your run of the mill late night talk show.
The premise of Join or Die, named after Ferguson’s tattoo, is that four people, a random assortment of comedians, actors, historians and scientists plus Ferguson, debate a historic q...

"Everett Rosenfeld, a staff writer at @cnbc, having lunch — ribs, a kale salad and @mountaindew — at his desk. In the modern American workplace, taking time off for lunch has increasingly become a sign of idleness. Today, some 62% of professionals say they typically eat lunch at their desks, a phenomenon that social scientists have begun calling ''desktop dining.'' For @nytmag's Work issue, the photographer @brianfinke photographed 12 office employees chowing down at their desks.

Valentine Veggie Parties
I often have parents who want my sessions to focus on helping kids learn to eat healthier foods, especially vegetables. On the journey to developing the oral motor skills necessary for biting, chewing and swallowing a variety of vegetables, simply interacting with these foods via food crafts and food play develops a positive relationships with Brussels sprouts, carrots and more. Holidays offer ideal opportunities for food play, especially Valentine’s Day.
From classroom parties to neighborhood get-togethers, Valentine’s Day is traditionally a sugar-fest of red, pink and white candy, frosting and sprinkles. Why n...

Five Resolutions to Share With Parents of Picky Eaters
With the New Year upon us, many parents of picky eaters reflect on what they can do to help their families lead a healthier lifestyle in 2016. If you treat a kiddo stuck in the chicken nugget rut, share these five resolutions with the parents, so they can better guide their child toward more adventurous eating in 2016:
Make the kitchen the heart of the home. One of the best ways to connect as a family is what I call “parenting in the kitchen.” Ask parents to encourage their kids to chop veggies, mix a dip or line up sweet potato fries on a pan. Suggest they make a meal as a family, but it’s not always possible with ...

ICD-10 and the Apocalypse
By ROB LAMBERTS, MD
October first is nearly upon us. For many of us, this date has little significance beyond the promise of cooler weather, lovely autumn colors, and the invasion of neighborhoods with giant inflatable Halloween decorations. While these decorations are fascinating to me, they do cause me to ponder the enormous gulf between my taste and that of my neighbors. I am not certain if this is meant to scare off potential alien invaders or simply to make them think we are not worth bothering with.
October 1, however, is a huge day to the medical community. It is a day that will live in infamy. It is th...

Food from Different Worlds—Finding Foods that Nourish and Heal Across Cultures
When I was a college freshman starting life on campus, I found the food available in our college cafeteria very confusing. Though ranked among the most diverse and delicious offerings, many times, I would walk through and find myself still with an empty plate. I could not find anything to eat. I had grown up on non-typical food, lots of roots and tubers, legumes and pulses, kale before it became a dietary hit, and lots of plain old water. Now I was part of a place that had fun theme food nights, and I could not find something that resembled my normal diet. Where I should have been thrilled, I was feeling tense, and very hu...
