Form Some Good Habits this Fall!

As the school year gets started, we want to help you form some good habits. Our summer schedules kept most of us active: swimming, biking, hiking but we are now heading into darker, cooler weather. Hopefully, you were going to the farmer’s market or in our own garden so our diet had lots of fruits and vegetables. [...]

Have You Heard the Latest on Fish Oil?

A recent study says fish oil "causes prostate cancer." I find this a ridiculous statement. What will they conjure up next? Maybe that organic vegetables cause pimples?

By declaring obesity a disease, they are opening the door for new drugs. Yes wouldn’t we all like [...]
