An Action Plan for a New Year and New You

I often sit and wonder how to crack a person's code. Why are they constantly engaging in detrimental behavior (lack of exercise, poor eating habits) and how do I motivate them to change. It's an area of science that scientists are well, stumped about. Why do people lose a ton of weight and then put

I’ve heard a lot the past few weeks about how much people eat on Thanksgiving, how they’ll stay on their diet and how much exercise it takes to burn off the calories they consume. And, I get it, people are worried and feel like their conf

More and more people are shoveling antioxidants in their body with gusto. Sun damaged skin? Just take antioxidants. Trying to prevent heart disease? Drink some POM Wonderful.
