Free GUIDE: 3 Simple Tools to Feel Great!
I wrote an article reframing forgiveness. I wrote it because I’d been introduced to a new way of looking at forgiveness, and I thought it was important to share. Holding onto resentment is a big stress on the body which has a huge impact in terms of someone’s health or disease state. Instead of forgiveness [...]
Considering all of the patients I’ve seen over the years, there is one emotion that stands out as being the hardest for people to deal with. It’s had to feel. It’s hard to express. It’s hard to let it go. It starts with an “A” and ends in a “ger.” Yep. It’s anger. You probably [...]
I don’t see a lot of cancer patients in my practice. It’s something that I’ve found a bit frightening. And to be honest, it’s not the disease itself, it’s the way people seem to get disempowered with that diagnosis. I find it depressing how quickly people tend to roll over and submit to the idea [...]
I’ve been thinking about something I wrote a couple weeks back. This is the paragraph to be specific: It’s all just data. And with that data you can make an adult choice about what you’re going to eat or how often you’re going to consume it. The context of this paragraph was a review of [...]
I’m always looking for lessons in my daily experiences. For example, I’ve learned a couple things from public washrooms. Below is a personal encounter I had with an interesting fellow.

There is no intercourse, and this gentle stroking happens for 15 minutes. One quarter hour where two minds and two bodies [...]
Is there really such a thing as being a night owl? I’m a fan of sleeping, both for myself and for my patients. Sometimes I have my own challenges with it – especially when I have been consuming my food allergies. (What? True dat. I wrote about that here.) We all know sleep is important. [...]
I realized that for all the time and energy I have spent teaching how stress can affect the body, I haven’t spent nearly enough time explaining what to do about it. And my favorite remedy for stress (besides orgasmic meditation ;) ) is deep breathing. I’ve touched on deep breathing in a couple articles, but [...]
Here in the northern hemisphere, we’re very much aware of autumn setting in. The mornings just a little darker. The air just a little crisper. Leaves are browning and falling. Sweaters, sweaters, and more sweaters adorn the the racks in the stores. With this seasonal change comes an increased likelihood of colds and flus. And [...]
Wow, I’m blown away by a new resource. It’s called, “The Plan” by Lyn-Genet Recitas. It came highly recommended to me by a patient who emailed saying, “I’m finally losing weight on ‘The Plan.'” She, like so many women, has been struggling with her weight for years. I thought, “Oh great. What is the latest [...]
