When it comes to emotions, I’m a big advocate for feeling them fully and moving through them instead of avoiding them. I believe therapy is an invaluable tool for those struggling with mental illness as well as those who want extra support, expert guidance, or simply a safe space to express their emotions — both positive and negative!

Believe it or not, our ability to cope with our emotions plays a major role in not only our mental health, but also our physical health.

The jig is up!

When you complain about your pain… when you say the opioid meds aren’t working the way they used to… they’ll boost the dose and send you away, claiming more meds will lead to less pain.

It doesn’t.

They KNOW it doesn’t.

But they do it anyway, for one simple reason.

It’s FAST!

Many of today’s big corporate clinics are all about speed. Get you in, get you out, get to the next patient fast. HURRY HURRY HURRY!

I WAS BROUGHT UP NEAR THE BEACH AND IT IS GOOD TO HEAR THE SUNSHINE GETTING A GOOD WRAP.

Here in this article, I would like to show you that Sugar is anything but Natural.

Some say "stay with sugar, you know what it is" and it's true that we need to keep away from the perils of Aspartame, Sucralose and other Synthetic Sweeteners that have bitter consequences to our health.

I intend to show you it is not good to keep ingesting Sugar because Sugar-Sweet can become Sour when it comes to our health.
