Balancing the call to stillness with the sensory overload of twinkling lights, festive cocktails and sweet treats can be a lot to digest! How you choose to move through […]

FIBER: It is something preached about from nearly all fields of medicine.

Published
October 7th, 2015
I met with a woman recently who just a few years ago became quite sick and debilitated following a fairly routine surgery. Multiple interventions from her physicians only worsened her symptoms.
