Does Your Doctor Treat You As The Unique Individual That You Are? | September 19, 2011

Does Your Doctor Treat You As The Unique Individual That You Are?

by Dr. Cochran with Dr. Waggoner M.D.

Last week you went to your doctor for your annual physical and you found out that you have cholesterol problems, specifically small density LDL, which your doctor told you is a death sentence if you don’t address it. It seems that these small density particles have an incredible propensity for sneaking into your arteries. Pretty soon your arteries start to look like the bottom of a grease trap in a French fry machine and eventually all that ‘goop’ turns into plaques. Plaque isn’t good for your teeth and it isn’t good for your arteries … Read More »

‘Fiber and Protein at Every Meal Make Losing Weight No Big Deal’ | February 16, 2011

‘Fiber and Protein at Every Meal Make Losing Weight No Big Deal’

You need fiber. And while I know it doesn’t sound particularly fun or sexy, it’s a fact and you know the reality about facts: we have to face them.

As bland and boring as you might think fiber is, it actually performs miracles inside your system that will help you look, feel and honestly be healthy. I recently had the pleasure of sharing lunch with Tanya Zuckerbrot MS RD, a nutritionist and author of The F-Factor Diet: Discover the Secret to Permanent Weight Loss and came away with a greater knowledge and understanding about the why’s and how’s of fiber in … Read More »

Q&A With Janet Bond Brill, Author Of Prevent a Second Heart Attack

Each year, roughly 1.5 million Americans have a heart attack — and most of them survive.

Packed with every tool someone needs — … Read More »

Why Waist Management Matters | February 8, 2011

Why Waist Management Matters

By Betsy Muller, MBA, EFT Cert., CEHP

Look around.  We intuitively know that people with slim middles and flat tummies are the healthy ones.  They look fit and attractive. They are the athletes, the young ones, the women who haven’t had kids yet and the men sport “6 pack abs”  instead of lounging on the couch drinking a 6 pack.

But wait a minute, look again!  Kids seem to be carrying more weight around their middles these days too.  Young women who haven’t yet carried a child are sporting a “pouch” out front.  Little boys have … Read More »
