Listeria cheese recall. I really love cheese. Boars head varieties are included.

The FDA announced that a recall of cheese products has been upgraded to the most serious risk category after testing positive for Listeria monocytogenes.

Many opt for surgery in December. Our Functional Medicine NP used to work in surgery and wants to help you fully recover.

Are you feeling sluggish, easily fatigued, stressed, irritable, or experiencing brain fog? These symptoms may be caused by issues with your thyroid, adrenals, hormones, or microbiome. Evaluating these areas may be the missing piece on your journey to optimal health. Post surgical patients can also benefit from having these areas evaluated and allow for an easier and faster recovery! Alanna Pylypiv is a nurse practitioner at our practice who specializes in this type of care. Check out her bio for more information: https://www.drcheryl.info/who-we-are

Eat real food please. The, you think is healthy protein powder, is probably not. If you use vegan protein powder regularly, we do heavy metal testing and chelation at the office. Call or email for test kits.

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

The center has intentional features created with input from families of children with autism. Read more about it here: https://fox8.com/news/akron-childrens-hospital-opens-new-autism-center/

A big win for women! Especially my age. I really wish the photo had patches instead of pills.

Black box labels on the medications — which are prescribed to treat menopause symptoms — warn of serious risks like breast cancer and heart attacks, which has discouraged some women from taking them.

Brain fog in long covid has a molecular cause that was recently discovered. I hope they find a cure that helps all patients with brain fog, not just from COVID-19. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250930/New-study-reveals-molecular-basis-of-Long-COVID-brain-fog.aspx #:~:text=By%20comparing%20imaging%20data%20from,%25%20sensitivity%20and%2091%25%20specificity.

Even though many years have passed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of infection with SARS-CoV-2 are not completely understood.

One quarter of our population has a disability. Some of us have very rich and fulfilling lives. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/disability-is-diversity/202209/the-disability-paradox?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR4YP45PVW58Y75RTULKA4Gg10PSY42qfJsgyb-OLw16uDinhP3CF7WRJn7sCQ_aem_78gdQ3F3jvJIDR71uFq3kg

Why do people underestimate the quality of life of disabled people? It's because we underestimate our ability to bounce back from adversity.
