368: The Art of Recovery II
Last week's discussion raised so many questions and piqued so many people's interest that we decided we'd better do a follow up! It appears that recovery is a bit of a strange concept for many. Is it just "rest"? Or is it more than that? Most spend 80% engaged and 20% recovery - when we really...
-
367: The Art of Recovery
We get it - we're even guilty of it at times too. We think so much of our health is about "doing" - and that's not necessarily wrong. But the piece that often gets missed is the equally important recovery from the doing. As a whole, we've lost the balance of doing and resting - working from our...

362: Dementia
Dementia has become such an incredibly common outcome for so many Americans that it has sadly almost become a "when" you get it - not an "if" any longer. Is there anything we can do about it?

-
361: mRNA Flu Vax & Vitamin D

-
360: Models
What is HEALTHcare? Caring for your health begins with YOU - not your doctor, not the pharmacy. When you grocery shop, that's healthcare. When you choose the products that go on your skin, that's healthcare. When you exercise your body regularly, that's healthcare. We have two models of…
