The ABCs of Supplements
I want to give a shout out to the latest podcast from Whole Foods Market. It is all about supplements ...various benefits and forms of supplements, things to know about regulation and explains a few terms that are often confusing.

Diet first...supplements second. Malia Curran talks about how you need to know … [Read more...]

Let's just say that when I had my first boy … [Read more...]

He was in fact waiting until the end of the visit to spring it on me that he was dropping us as patients because we are a non-vaccinating family. I lost a lot of trust in the medical community at that point and I didn't have much to begin with. Since … [Read more...]
