Unfortunately, many of them will wear unsupportive shoes, such as sandals and flip-flops, which raise the risk of plantar fasciitis. If you’ve ever experienced plantar fasciitis, you know how painful and debilitating it can be. Check out these tips to help you lower your risk for the condition and treat it at home.

At the masters last year, plantar fasciitis sidelined Tiger Woods. But plantar fasciitis isn’t just an athlete’s problem. It’s a common problem that can develop in anyone, anytime of the year. However, many people are more susceptible to it during the warmer months as they participant in outdo...

If you’re trying to lose weight, you’ll need to take a good, hard look at your diet, starting with your protein intake. Many of my patients wonder which type of protein is better for weight control – plant-based or animal-based. Here’s what you need to know.

What’s the secret to longevity? It’s a question many of my patients ask. Unfortunately, no one knows yet. What we do know is that there are scientifically supported lifestyle behaviors that can help you live longer (and better). Check them out.

I’ve always been on the fence regarding alcohol and health benefits.
