I wanted to pass a quick note on the Stress Relief Complex. I was a bit skeptical at first as I feel in relatively good control. I tried the product as my stock brokerage firm has recently been feeling the direct pains of the market. The outcome….it works!  It does not change your moods or emotions, it simply “smoothes” the otherwise rough edges. Things that normally caused me to feel tense did not.  I approach problems and challenges with a clearer perspective. Thanks!

Health Study: Effect of a Structured Meal Replacement Program on Weight Loss: An Eight-Week Mobile App-Assisted Intervention. Why was this study done?  Many studies have supported the notion that a structured weight loss program along with educational support may be one of the best ways to achieve weight loss. This study was designed to examine the effectiveness of a low-glycemic, high-leucine, structured weight loss program along with educational support in the form of onlin e tools. What did the study find? Participants following the eight-week program lost an average of 9.7 pounds (1.2 pounds a week) and 37 out of 213 (17 %) obese participants reduced their BMI below 30 by the end of the study to be re-classified as overweight (from obese).

We love our dishwashers, don’t we? I love being able to throw the dishes in, slam the door, hit a couple buttons and walk away. And happiness is when all the dirty dishes fit in the dishwasher. Yay! After a while though, our favorite appliance can begin to let us down. Dishes aren’t getting as clean as they used to, glasses are spotted and it can begin to smell. So what are we to do? The thought of a new dishwasher sounds delightful, but don’t throw out your old friend quite yet. To keep your kitchen buddy working at his best, he does need some TLC. Yes, that’s right – you need to do a bit of regular maintenance. Now before you start to say, “Ugh! I’d rather just buy a new one!” the maintenance really isn’t that hard – if you do it on a regular basis. The first thing to do is dig out the owner’s manual. The manual will tell you what parts you can take apart to clean. Here’s a tip. Buy a big binder and large pocket sleeve protectors, then put all you...

Allergies, sinus pressure & pain….what gives? It is fall and we’ve already had frost. The flowers are gone and the grass has stopped growing so how can I be experiencing allergies? This time of year we have a lot of people come to us with their allergies looking for help and asking these very same questions. Even though frost has killed off a lot of the flowers, many weeds are now going to seed. Leaves are falling, laying on the ground getting wet and decaying. This process leaves a perfect place for mold and dust to take over and if you are sensitive to this, you get the allergies and sinus problems. Also, with the temperatures dipping low at night, many people turn on their furnaces that blow out 6 months of dust build up. Then there are people who heat with wood, so they are cutting wood and starting to burn it. This is a popular time for trees to be trimmed and cut down. All this sawdust flying around can throw your allergies into a tailspin. So what ca...
