  • Sleep Apnea – To Snore or Not to Snore
    There is nothing more embarrassing than waking yourself up with a loud snore. A full night's sleep became a thing of the past and was replaced with morning headaches and fatigue. I was tired all day long and getting through a ten hour work day was getting to be a chore.
  • Quick Quiz: Why Do Women Still Live Longer than Men?
    With all the strides made in the last 30 years toward the prevention and treatment of heart disease, cancer, stroke, high blood pressure and other life threatening illness, women still outlive men by a clear margin. Why is that? What do you think are the top three differences between men’s health and women’s that make such a statistic possible?
  • Health Benefits For Americans Part II - who pays for Dental, Vision, Chiropractic and Prescription?
    Deductibles rise and restrictions are placed on the kinds of services that are available. Dental, vision, chiropractic care and prescription drugs are all targets for restricted services or payout limits.
  • Health Benefits for Americans Part 1 - Is Consumer Driven Health the Answer?
    Fifteen percent of Americans do not have health benefits. And of that number, as many as 80 percent have at least one parent working full-time. They make too much money to qualify for government-sponsored health plans, but not enough to pay for private healthcare.

  • Aging and Your Changing Vision: What You Need to Know
    As we enter our forties, many things become simpler (like doing our taxes, finishing a good book, and eating in restaurants alone). But some things get more difficult--like reading the newspaper and seeing street signs.
  • A Little Friendly Advice About Death, Taxes and Back Pain
    Consider this. 90 PERCENT of adults will need to see a doctor due to some problem with their back. And, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians, complaints of low back pain are the fifth most common reason for all visits to the doctor.
  • A Brief History of Braces-Are Americans Stuck in the Dark Ages?
    In the hundreds of years since those first braces, there have been some enhancements both to the braces themselves and to who has access to them. In the years B.C. and long after, dental care was reserved for aristocrats. And the first “orthodontists” used catgut rather than metal bands to slowly tighten and move misaligned teeth into place.
