There a lot out there about stress and immune health, and stress and digestive health. But what about all three? Stress. Gut health. Immune health. The all three interact with each other. What’s the real story? Here’s a brief explanation. Stress can alter the bacterial composition of the digestive tract. When that happens, good/bad bacteria [...]
Now that 2012 is under way, how about a simple resolution for lifelong health that you can easily remember: The Five S’s. Or Sx5. The Five S’s refer to five things you can do to maintain optimal immune health. In my book, these measures will also impact many other health areas, including weight, cardio, skin [...]
It’s probably a common perception that if you are in need of significant weight loss, and you are successful in shedding those pounds in a healthy, sustainable fashion, your immune health will likely improve as well.

When people discuss stress in everyday life, the commonly cited factors are job, family/relationships and finances. One growing driver of stress may be something that ties the job/finances/family stress groups together: care giving. Taking care of an elderly parent or parents is incredibly demanding (wow, how perceptive of me). And recently, we’re starting to see [...]
Some interesting nuggets on immune health that have appeared recently in the media: The Times of India has an interesting little list of “fun facts about your immune system.” Among them: “A study of 100 men conducted by researchers at the medical school of the State University of New York at Stony Brook finds that ‘positive events [...]
My family and I are taking a vacation soon. And everyone probably knows how that goes. You get frantic trying to get everything done…at work and at home… so you can have peace of mind on vacation knowing that all is well back home. Of course, what actually happens is that you run yourself ragged, [...]
My wife used to get cold sores semi-regularly. They’d come out of nowhere, sometimes during cold/flu season, other times during summer.
