Supermarket Produce Can Help Lower Blood Pressure
Elevated blood pressures are often a concern for my over-40 age patients. Some of them need to take prescription medications to keep blood pressures normal and decrease the risk of stroke. However, one thing I tell my patients with elevated blood pressures is that there are some natural remedies that can help lower blood pressure. They’re often surprised to learn that some of these include common produce from your supermarket! In fact, several of my patients who have tried these foods have either been able… Read More

Hair Thinning/Loss May Be Sign Of Underlying Causes
Many of my over-50 age patients complain that their hair seems to be thinning. I assure them that it is normal to experience some hair thinning as we get older.

Fructose And Your Blood Pressure – Watch Out!
Many of my patients battle high blood pressure. In treating these patients, I like to rule out that there is nothing in their lifestyles that may be causing their BP to stay elevated.

Fructose and Your Blood Pressure Recent research has found that people who consumed about 74 grams of fructose (about 4, 12 ounce non-diet soft… Read More

Both types have their specific challenges and methods of treatments. Since May is arthritis awareness month, I would like to share with you, as I do my own patients, new findings in arthritis research. These new findings have prompted doctors, like myself, to also treat other conditions in their arthritis patients that may be aggravating, or even causing their… Read More

Stay Younger Longer With Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Many of my patients are adding good Omega-3 fatty acids to their diet every day. Hopefully, you are too!

However, in the last year or so, I’ve also been telling my patients another important reason to be taking Omega-3’s – living longer. Here’s why. Omega-3’s and Your Telomeres It’s been known for a while now that Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial in reducing risks from cardiovascular disease as they inhibit… Read More

May Is Mental Health Month – Do More For 1 In 4
May is mental health awareness month and I’d like to make you aware of two special themes this year. First, did you know that 1 in 4 Americans live with a diagnosable, treatable mental health condition? It’s true. And yet, like my patients who have such conditions, most live full and productive lives. Second, many people carry mental/emotional “wounds” from prior traumatic life events. Healing from these events requires support from not only the people closest to you, but from the community at large and… Read More
