Walk the walk for immune balance

I’m a believer in exercise, as is anyone who has a basic interest in and half a brain about health and wellness. Thing is, I have to bypass most of the fitness regimens everyone else seems to enjoy. I don’t like refraining from running, but I have to because it’s soooooooo booorrrrrrrrring and I can’t [...]

Isn’t balance the key to all things in life?

The more I think and read about stuff in general, the more I’m convinced that “balance”  can determine a lot in one’s life in many ways. Maybe it does start with cellular function in the body. Immune balance among the body’s aggressor and suppressor cells from birth and infancy (or even within mother’s biochemistry while in the [...]

My spring break: an immune balance “three-fer”

Last week was spring break, so I stuck around home and took advantage of some gorgeous early spring weather. I’m no spring chicken, I’m certainly not a paragon of elite physical conditioning, but I cast fear to the wind and took on some physical activities throughout the week that put my joints and muscles to [...]

Your immune health needs something in short supply these days: Sleep

I was having lunch with an old friend a while back, talking to her about my work communicating the immune balance story. “You know what? I haven’t been sick in years and you what I attribute that to?” she asked. “I get a solid 9 to 10 hours of sleep a night. I have to have that.” [...]

Immune balance and chronic pain

A friend of mine recently told me about a condition he’s been struggling with for several years now. It’s an unexplained pain that has been fairly constant, accompanied by tingling of the hands and feet. His story may be familiar to a lot of folks who endure chronic pain, which can still be a mystery to many [...]
