Those over the counter NSAIDs that Americans pop for any little problem, may be more detrimental then you think.

Try red light therapy instead, a much safer way to potentially reduce pain and speed up healing.

A must for avoiding slip and falls in this kind of weather, esp. if you have a furry friend you walk!

Walk traction cleats are lightweight and easy to secure around any winter boot or shoe. From walking to work, school, or even just the mailbox, these cleats help reduce the risk of falls when walking on snow and ice.

Great article in WA post today

Want to open a pickle jar, carry in your groceries and live a long, healthy life? You’ll need robust grip strength.

Grip strength is a marker of the health and power of your overall muscular system – not just of your hands. And it can be a surprisingly useful predictor of lifespan. In a much-cited 2015 study of about 140,000 adults, researchers found that poor grip strength helped indicate a risk for premature mortality in most people, whatever their age or income. It was more reliable than high blood pressure, which has long been considered one of the best predictors of early mortality.

Why would grip strength be related to longevity? A 2022 study found that people with low grip strength tended to be biologically older than their chronological age. That is, the DNA in their cells seemed to be aging at an accelerated rate, so their bodies were growing old faster than those of people with greater grip strength.

It's impossible to know whether poor grip strength caused people’s high-speed aging or was a symptom. But the lesson here is: Higher grip strength could mean longer lives.

Helpfully, grip strength is also easy to gauge if you have access to a pull-up bar (this is the one I have at home). Just grasp the bar overhand and lift your feet off the ground, a move known as a dead hang.

Aim to meet these benchmarks:

Under age 40: At least a minute

Ages 40-60: 30 seconds

Over age 60: 10 seconds

Need to strengthen your grip? Dead hangs help. So does keeping a squishy ball at your desk and clenching it often throughout the day. Take the quiz below to find out how you measure up on the four other essential elements of fitness, plus how to improve.

Grip strength is closely linked to mortality in people of all incomes, and may be a better indicator of life span than blood pressure.

🧠 What is Microcurrent Neurofeedback (MCN)?
Microcurrent Neurofeedback (MCN) is a science-backed, non-invasive therapy designed to help your brain reset, self-regulate, and perform at its best.
Your brain communicates through electrical signals. When stress, trauma, or chronic dysregulation occurs, those signals can become stuck in rigid, unhelpful patterns.
✨ MCN gently interrupts these patterns, allowing the brain to reorganize itself and return to balance.
🔹 What to expect during a session:
• Small sensors placed on the scalp
• A tiny microcurrent—so subtle you won’t feel it
• A brief “momentary interruption” to brain signaling
This interruption helps the brain shift out of fight-or-flight and into a more calm, regulated state.
💙 Clients often report:
✔️ A calmer, more grounded mood
✔️ Better focus & clearer thinking
✔️ Improved emotional stability
✔️ Deeper, more restorative sleep
✔️ Less tension & overwhelm
✔️ A greater overall sense of well-being
📩 Curious if MCN might be right for you?
Send me a message or visit the website to learn more.
