That night, lots of fortunate kids all across the country will have trouble going to sleep thinking about all those presents they hope will be waiting for them under the tree the next morning. They made detailed lists, sat on Santa’s lap at the mall, and minimized naughtiness……
Think Health
Of all the workshops I do, this is the one you will not want to miss! Why? Because – chances are – you’ve never heard anything like it before. Most people have a general sense of what a healthy diet looks like (well, sort of… most people, even dietitians, still get it wrong). So I…
It Starts Now, It Ends Now

One Week Later
Many of you know that I practice in Birmingham, Alabama. It’s home. This time last week, I was taking care of patients in the dark. A string of vicious straight-line winds that morning had taken out the power here at the office, but people were still coming in. By the end of the day, the…
Magic Fitness Shoes?
Several of my patients have come into my office lately asking about these “fitness shoes” being promoted as the magic link to effortless body toning and weight loss.

Similar cases…
Vitamin D Depletion Time
“Vitamin D Depletion Time” is what it should really be called when we set our clocks back. The fall time change is usually welcomed because we “gain” an hour. But while that extra hour of sleep on Sunday morning is nice, it comes at a hefty price that lasts for months. There’s a lot more sunshine…
