World renowned, New York Times bestselling author, Joel Fuhrman, MD, wants us to understand the tools available to us. Traditional methods have changed to new emerging technologies tha...

Many of us spend years trying to hide, avoid, or outrun the wounds life has left behind. Yet often, the very experiences that hurt us most are the ones that can teach us the deepest truths about ourselves, others, and what truly matters. When I choose reflection over resentment and healing over bitterness, those wounds can become teachers that lead to compassion, discernment, strength, and peace. I will share what becomes possible ...

Dr. Cowden is back to update us on how supporting the body holistically may help address underlying i...

It's so easy to look around and measure our lives against what we see in others, their success, their happiness, their progress. Then we quietly wonder why we're not there yet. But comparisons often pull us away from our own story and into a narrative that was never meant for us. When we pause and turn inward, we begin to see that our path, with all its twists and turns, holds meaning that cannot be replicated or replaced. True pea...

Trauma can leave lasting imprints on the brain, influencing how we process stress, emotions, and even everyday experiences. John Silva, DC, has spent years helping people understand how neurofeedback can support the brain's natural ability to regulate itself and heal from these patterns. When the brain is given real-time feedback about its activity, it can begin to shift away from survival responses and toward healthier, more balan...

Complaints often come naturally, especially when life feels challenging. But complaining can reinforce stress, negativity, and disconnection. When not prompted to write a positive review, we are 60% to 70% more likely to write a negative review. What causes anger to prompt more action than sharing a positive experience? Practicing praise rewires our attention toward gratitude, hope, and constructive action. By noticing opportunitie...

Our bodies often hold onto emotions long after the moment that created them has passed. Stress, grief, trauma, and even unspoken thoughts can become stored tension, quietly influencing how we feel, move, and respond to life. Recall Healing and Mindbody medicine expert Michelle LaMasa-Dawson, PhD, has recently discovered Human Garage, a new technique to move emotions beyond talk therapy. When emotions are allowed to surface and clea...

Letting go is a practice that touches every part of our lives, from relationships and expectations to habits and past regrets. Have you ever reflected on how release creates room… room for peace, joy, and renewed purpose.

I will share how learning the art of lettin...

It represents the promise that renewal, restoration, and hope are always possible, even in the darkest seasons of life. When we reflect on the deeper message of the Resurrection, we are reminded that transformation begins within our heart and mind. Choosing forgiveness over resentment, faith over fear, and love...

Lisa will share how unresolved emotional patterns may show up as inflammation, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, or chronic symptoms. She will ...

We all encounter difficult people at some point in our lives. How we respond to them often reveals more about our own emotional health than theirs. It's easy to feel triggered, defensive, or even powerless when someone behaves in ways that feel disrespectful, confrontational, or dismissive. Yet these moments can become powerful opportunities to grow in patience, boundaries, and self-awareness. When we learn to pause, respond though...

Brain health isn't something we need to wait to address in a doctor's office; it's something we can observe, track, and improve from home. John Silva, DC, knows firsthand how insights from brain diagnostics can reveal cognitive patterns, stress responses, and nervous system function. And this can be done all from the place where we often feel most comfortable, our home. When we understand these signals, we're better equipped to mak...

By learning to recognize where these voices come from and how they shape our...

GLP-1 medications have opened new doors for people struggling with metabolic imbalance. Yet medication alone rarely tells the whole story of healing. Dr. Levy's research showed him how vitamin C,...

Respectful disagreement is becoming a lost art. Yet it may be one of the most powerful tools for healing our families, friendships, and communities. Recently, I was attacked on my personal Facebook page for my beliefs. I was insulted, accused, and shamed simply for having a different perspective. That experience became a profound eye-opener, highlighting how essential respect is when differences in opinion, affiliation, or belief a...

For anyone who has lived with chronic pain, especially after being told it is "incurable," the emotional toll can be just as heavy as the physical symptoms. Labels like Fibromyalgia, IBS, migraines, or other misunderstood syndromes, often come with frustration, isolation, and a sense of finality. Yet science continues to show us that the brain and nervous system are far more adaptable than once believed. Steven LaTulippe, MD, has s...
