I’m getting amped for this event: And I’m not just amped up because I’m one of the directors and a sponsor for the event. I volunteer my time (as does the founder of the event and all of the other directors) because we are so passionate about empowering individuals in their own health. The event is [...] The Mayo Clinic released their Meditation App for the iPhone and iPod Touch… and the reviews that I’ve heard haven’t been so hot. Some of the complaints are that the App is overpriced and too simplistic. The expensive complaint I get, but let’s be serious, how complex should something be if its purpose is to [...] A continuation from yesterday’s post…
I watched the doco Yoga Inc. last night and found it to be pretty fascinating. The amount of money being thrown at yoga is enough to throw anyone into a back bend (no joke, I dropped way too much money on some yoga clothes just last month). [...]

What are your thoughts? Can the public handle full disclosure in regard to [...] I got a phone call from a good friend the other night… “Ummm, Aimee, I ju- [coughs] just thought you sh- [clears throat, coughs] should know that I have H1N1.” Awesome. (Here are a few of my thoughts on H1N1 if you missed my earlier post.) Six of us were hanging out with our H1N1 buddy the same [...] NAMI has finally admitted (kind of) that they are way too involved with Big Pharma. Click here to read my earlier post on NAMI and why being BFF with Big Pharma is not the best route for advocacy organizations. If you donate money or volunteer with advocacy organizations, this is important info to be aware [...] Positive Aging is made up of healthy eating, frequent exercise, self-study, an optimistic attitude and so much more. This concept reminds me that I have responsibility for my own health. I can’t live my life abusing my body and mind and be surprised by later illnesses. I can’t plead “why me?” or expect a doctor to fix damage that [...]

I hope that you will watch the film above and then share it with everyone on your contact list. The information in this film is vital to the health of our children. Consider: The current US Health Care System is failing babies and families before, during and after [...]
Finally! A Doc has called out healthy eating and exercise for what it really is: “Draconian self-deprivation efforts… hedonic sacrifice.” Right on doc.

This is awesome. Al Franken, Minnesota’s newest senator, wants to make service dogs available to veterans: After I met Luis, I did some research. Service dogs like Tuesday can be of immense benefit to vets suffering from physical and emotional wounds. Yes, they provide companionship. But [...]

Acetaminophen has been getting a lot of heat for its potentially toxic affects on the liver. This is no good considering that only a few months ago, docs were encouraging these pain-relieving drugs like water. Just a ‘lil info: Acetaminophen is the generic name for a drug found in brands like Tylenol, Vicodin [...] I love the Institute of Noetic Sciences (click here to see an earlier post about the organization and here to visit the website for the Institute). I recently came across a video for the Institute that describes their work but also serves as a fantastic little summary about the mind-body-spirit connection and other concepts that are rocking [...] |
