Apple has once again set the Internet abuzz over its recent market offering – the Airpods not purely on account of its sleek and stylish design, but because of the associated health concerns in its technology. Scientists are alarmed by how wireless technology could potentially lead to adverse heal...

Can We hear an "amen!"?

Osteopathic medicine is not just empathy, bedside manner, and holistic medicine.

This is important information for those in Primary care/Pediatrics as well as parents with children. This observational study in the JAMA pediatrics showed that exposure to acid-suppressive medications or antibiotics in the first 6 months of life may increase risk of allergic disease development. This means these medications should only be used when medically absolutely necessary and all other alternative options do not work.

This is something I have been doing a lot of research about lately. I am really happy this is becoming more talked about as it is very important. I strongly believe that many true healings can occur when we touch on these issues.

Childhood trauma isn’t something you just get over as you grow up. Pediatrician Nadine Burke Harris explains that the repeated stress of abuse, neglect and parents struggling with mental health or substance abuse issues has real, tangible effects on the development of the brain. This unfolds across…

Here is a nice interview explaining what a D.O is, what OMT is, and what OMT is clinically useful for. It sounds like they are doing some great things over there in San Diego!
http://www.ucsd.tv/search-details.aspx?showID=32568

Hollis King and Michael Kurisu, both osteopathic physicians (DO's) at UC San Diego, describe how osteopathy is a hands-on medical treatment that focuses on the structure and function of the whole body, not just symptoms of disease or pain. As they explain to host Paul J. Mills, doctors of osteopathy...

Many patients ask about how to fit exercise into their day, especially when they are busy. The truth is, it isn't that difficult. This article does a great explaining how to, "get exercise in" if you find yourself unsure how to fit it into your day.

A 60-minute B3 session: definitely a workout. But how about a 30-minute workout? Ten minutes? A quick power-walk during your lunch hour? We all want to be

Sometimes I do not like to re-post items of controversy, but this article is well-researched. The point is to not believe everything you read in headlines or what you receive from large organizations. This day in age, you need to do your own research. Big corporations do not have people's health in mind- it is all about money, where it comes from, and who is getting it. Soybean oil and canola oil made in the USA is almost 100% GMO (meaning they have pesticides inside the DNA of the plant). They are probably some of the WORST fats you can consume. Additionally, no one should be eating deep-fried foods on a regular basis.

You probably read the recent headlines... 'Coconut oil isn't healthy. It's never been healthy' ~ USA Today 'Nutrition experts warn coconut oil is on par with beef fat, butter' ~ Chicago Tribune 'This popular health food is worse for you than pork lard' ~ Daily Star 'Coconut Oil Isn't As Healthy As...

One of my classmates, Stefanie Moore D.O, explains the benefits of OMT for children- something I am very passionate about! Thank you so much for your pediatric expertise Dr. Moore!

We need to be aware of how new technology and fads are affecting our future. This also means being good role models ourselves.

It's that time of year again! His is the Environmental Working Group's 2017 guide to sunscreens! http://www.ewg.org/sunscreen/

Almost three-fourths of the products we examined offer inferior sun protection or contain worrisome ingredients like oxybenzone, a hormone disruptor, or retinyl palmitate, a form of vitamin A that may harm skin.

Finally, some studies to show what we already knew...that words and how we use them can have a profound impact on our health. It is important as a practitioner to watch your words with patients to be more empowering rather than disabling. http://www.journalofosteopathicmedicine.com/article/S1746-0689(16)30044-X/fulltext

It is interesting that finally, something is being publicly announced about this. For those of you interested in this topic, there is a new Documentary called, "Thank you for Calling" that you can watch.

Under a court order, last week California public health officials released draft guidelines advising cell phone users to keep phones away from their bodies, use speaker phone and limit use.
