9 Weird Things Keeping You Up At Night
Every once in a while you have a bad night's sleep and you know exactly why: You found yourself at the coffee maker at 4 p.m. or there were sirens blaring outside your window all night or maybe your allergies are killing you. But more often than not the reasons behind your less-than-satisfactory slumber remain a mystery and you slog through the day with the unpleasant memory of your alarm clock's siren close at hand.
We're shining a light on some of the most surprising reasons you can't sleep below. Some of them you can't control, but some of them require only the tiniest of tweaks to help you hit the hay in no time.

Chronicles of Health Creation: Report Shares Successes/Challenges in M.D.-Led and N.D.-Led Integrative Patient-Centered Medical Homes
Positive outcomes in patients with obesity and multiple chronic conditions are among the findings in an investigation recently reported out as "Prototypes Emerging of MD-Led and ND-Led Integrative Patient-Centered Medical/Health Homes." One remarkable early lesson appears to be that integrative care should not be dismissed -- as some do -- as a pastime of wealthy health hobbyists. Successes are being reported with Medicaid patients and others who have no prior experience with acupuncture, naturopathic medicine, yoga or other integrative services who are assigned to these integrative patient centered medical homes. How...

Why Throwing Yourself Into the Unknown Can Be the Best Thing You Can Do to Yourself
Most of us are scared of diving into the unknown, of uncertainty, of unfamiliarity, of not knowing what's going to happen. We are scared that things could go wrong, that things will be uncomfortable, and that things might not go as expected. But throwing yourself into the unknown can be very rewarding. It means that you fully surrender to all expectations that you and others have ever had of yourself. It means that you allow yourself to start anew and feel completely free. You might realize down the track that you are who you are and that you have to go back to the root of your soul, to your innate talents and passion wit...

Freezing Your Eggs at Fortysomething
This week, I had my eggs frozen. I'm 44. And a half. All the data and statistics say that I had a ten percent chance of this, whittled down to a three percent chance of that, and if fertilized, a one percent chance of having a healthy baby - or some other seemingly grim statistic. They were so dim I chose not to remember them specifically. That said, when I asked my fertility doctor about whether he would still freeze them, he said sure, but he wanted me to have the data and the facts so I wouldn't have false hope. Fine. So I started treatment. Well, first, I checked with insurance, etc.: for women on a budget (who isn...

5 Days of Unpacking: Reflections on Love, Loss and the Art of Becoming
Five days ago, I woke up in a new house. It still feels quiet and unfamiliar. I made a coffee, popped the mug on my bedside table and climbed back into bed to write. It wasn't the most comfortable writing space, but my desk was hidden under unpacked art supplies, books and a chaotic jumble of shoes. I haven't yet unpacked into this new life. I like to write. I like to draw and paint too. And some time ago, I made a commitment to doing something creative every day. It could be anything. Singing, baking, reading, walking... a creative practice of 'daily somethings' in an otherwise busy life. On that morning five days ago, ...

Life Inside a Hummingbird Nest
I have been obsessed with Hummingbirds for years and consider it a true privilege to have year-round resident Hummingbirds fluttering outside my home in California. This past Spring I was pretty ecstatic to find that an Anna's Hummingbird had built a nest just a few feet from my balcony, giving me a wild and wonderful birds eye view into her private and beautiful world. I couldn't believe she picked THAT spot for her new spiderweb and foliage weaved crib, and I just knew I had to document some of the moments to come. I had no idea it would turn into a 3-week daily video project that would go on to receive over 6 millio...

The Right Way to Get Assessed and Treated for Adult ADHD
Neuroscientists refer to the brain’s process for managing time, financial and goal achievements as its executive function. Those of us with good executive function take it for granted: We organize our daily activities and interactions in an efficient manner without much mental effort. That’s hardly true for adults who suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Less than a decade ago, referrals to my practice for an adult ADHD evaluation were virtually nonexistent. Professionals and the public assumed it was a child’s disorder and that these troubled children had somehow outgrown their problems by ad...

What Happens When We Put Empathy Into Practice?
'It's Because You Left Me ... ' When Trocme was 10 years old, he was in a car accident. His father drove too fast, the car spun out of control and his mother was thrown through the air and landed, lifeless, 30 feet from the wreckage. Andre saw the body and suffered a hurt so great, the pain, the unfairness of it all, gave him a dark, almost blackened courage. He had seen the worst. After that, nothing frightened him. Many years after the accident, he wrote a letter to his dead mother, a confession: "If I have been a fatalist, and have been a pessimistic child who awaits death every day, and who almost seeks it out, if I...
