I spent the weekend taking IV Nutritional training seminar on Anti-Aging and Longevity medicine.
The take-away is a hopeful one.

It is within our grasp to transform our bodies and mind into something stronger, vibrant, and healthier.

Many times we get in the way of our body's process to heal itself.
I feel armed with many protocols to help patients achieve optimal health...and I would like to get on that bandwagon myself.

Stay tuned for some new and promising treatments to help with reducing inflammation, supporting brain health, cardiovascular health, reversing metabolic disease processes, and strengthening our bodies at the cellular level.

Breast Cancer is the second leading cause of death in women.

Early detection via screening tools like mammograms and MRI's can visualize tumors as small as 1-14mm.

Treating breast cancer tumors this small requires only surgery for treatment and overall survival is at 94% in 24 years.

Sisters of Whatcom and Cierra Sisters are sponsoring their 2nd Annual Breakfast to share breast cancer survivorships and breast cancer screening at Mt. Baker Imaging on Friday, October 24th at 8:30AM.

Hot nights prevent the body from cooling and recovering, raising dehydration and heat illness risks, especially in a region where many homes lack air conditioning, according to the National Weather Service in Seattle.

Because experts say the key is to lower your body temperature before bed and keep it down overnight, we've pulled together a few of our favorite science-backed tips to help:

**Because deep sleep depends on the brain cooling down, UW Medicine sleep experts say a warm-to-hot shower before bed can trigger vasodilation — widening blood vessels to release heat.

**Run cool water over your palms, soles and forehead to bring core temps down.

**Hang a damp sheet near a window or fan so airflow speeds evaporation — a centuries-old cooling method.

**Skip late day work-outs and late-night snacks. Vigorous exercise and digesting food raises core temperature, which can make it even harder to fall asleep during a heat wave.

**Plus: You can also try freezing your sheets and pillowcases.

Try these science-backed tricks to beat the heat and sleep better during a hot spell.
