My giant ovarian cyst the size of a watermelon – Laura ’ s story
The day I was told that I had a giant ovarian cyst I turned immediately to the internet for answers to the questions whizzing around my brain, but I quickly discovered that every story is a little bit different and finding answers quite difficult.

Must the Busy Holiday Season Produce Poor Eating?
I receive insightful questions on my social media accounts, and I'd like to share some with you along with my answers. ~Margaret Marshall I believe Victoria's question is one that many have. I received this on October 29, two days before Halloween, and as Victoria was facing the 'week of candy'. But her question is deeper than just the Halloween challenges. In in the coming weeks, she along with many of us, will face busier days, festive food and activities, and less time to care for our own well-being With the added time constraints put upon us in the holiday season we often neglect our own health.
