[caption id="attachment_860" align="alignnone" width="600"] Photo: cyclonebill[/caption] Why all fats are not the enemy The first thing that comes to many people’s minds when talking about fat in our food is a myriad of unhealthy foods such as chocolate cake or cheese fries. Fatty foods have a bad reputation because we know that when we eat a lot of unhealthy foods, it makes us gain weight. In fact, we get so used to eating fatty foods that it makes it easy for us to overeat as well as make us crave fatty foods when we are hungry. What we sometimes don’t realize is that there are more than one type of fat, and the right amount of good fats in our diet can actually help us shed some...

Uncategorized

Serving Size We talk about servings every time we discuss how much food from each food group we eat in a day. For example, 2 servings of vegetables or 3 servings of fruit. But how do we know how much food is in a single serving? That’s where the nutrition labels come in. A Nutrition facts label will tell you immediately what is considered 1 serving of the packaged product. It will also let you know how many of those servings are in the container. Often, it’s just an approximate number since a lot of packaging is done by the weight of the item not the quantity inside. Everything listed on the label below will be the amount per single serving of the product. Measuring Servings by Ounces: If...

How Topical Compounding Works For Patients

[caption id="attachment_717" align="alignnone" width="500"] Photo: sunshinecity[/caption] Topical pharmaceutical compounding technology has greatly advanced over the last several years. Topical compounding has become a big part of conversations at podiatry meetings all across the country. Why is topical compounding so important? Topical compounding allows the delivery of high doses of medication to a localized area. It allows more medication to be applied to solve the problem than would be possible if the medication were taken systematically through orals. For example, when using a topical medication for pain management or post-surgery pain, large doses can be administered to just the affected area. Similarly, a medication applied topically reduces the risk of drug interactions and dependencies greatly. Topical compounded medications are especially useful in podiatry. When systematic drug interactions between pain medications...

As we move into the winter months, our time spent outdoors beings to decrease. We are further from the sun and many days feel totally cloudy. It's not uncommon to have a Vitamin D deficiency during these winter months, but that doesn't mean we can't boost our body! Vitamin D is crucial for healthy bones and skin, but 80-90 percent of our vitamin D comes from exposure to the sun. What do we do during the winter months when the sun isn’t shining as often? Children may be at greater risk for bones softening, called rickets, while adults may be at a greater risk for osteoporosis. So, vitamin D is definitely an important part of bone health no matter what stage of life. The Institutes of Medicine recommend...

[caption id="attachment_780" align="alignnone" width="300"] Photo: surlygirl[/caption] If you are suffering from digestive ailments but aren't sure what may be causing your discomfort, then you are like nearly 1 in 15 Americans who have a gluten or casein intolerance (or are more sensitive than normal to their effects). What are the symptoms of intolerance and how can we know if it's something more serious? Before you consider any long-term treatment options for your gluten or casein intolerance, talk with your doctor about some of the choices you can make to improve your health. Symptoms of a gluten intolerance: It’s important to note that a sensitivity or an intolerance is not the same as celiac disease, which is an autoimmune that requires total elimination of gluten from the diet.

Courtesy of Autism Society of America Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and affects a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others. Autism is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is a “spectrum disorder” that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees. There is no known single cause for autism, but increased awareness and funding can help families today.   In February 2007, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued their ADDME autism prevalence report. The report, which looked at a sample of 8 year olds in 2000 and 2002, concluded that the prevalence of autism had risen to 1 in every 150 American children, and almost 1 in 94 boys.

The Connection between Neurotransmitters and Mental States Anxiety, panic, depression, forgetfulness, trouble sleeping, distracted—Sound familiar? Nearly 1 in 4  Americans that have mental health complaints – and may benefit from a specialized program that provides targeted neurological solutions to support your mental health. A Variety of Complaints, One Common Source Before I recommend a program to support a patient’s mental health, I first try to identify any triggers or underlying issues that are contributing to the problem. Unfortunately, one of the consequences of living in our modern society is the amount of potential factors that can lead to unhealthy mental states. Moreover, what happens in the mind is closely related to physical function: stress, long-term health concerns, lack of exercise, and a nutrient-poor diet are just a few examples. Although...
