It isn’t easy to change feelings. We all know that. The question is why? One reason might be that feelings seem to be outside of our control. We can’t really change how we feel about something. We either like it or we don’t. This makes us angry and that makes us sad. While we aim …
Spring is here at least and we are all busy with our spring cleaning. Many of us are focused on our annual purging – on clearing out our homes of unwanted and unnecessary stuff as we also rid ourselves of chametz before the chag. Last week we spoke about using this time period as an …
Spring is finally here!! And we all deserve it!! It’s been a long, cold, and thankfully rainy winter. With quarantines, flus, and omicron. And we are all ready for spring to bring us some warmth and sunshine! Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal. As nature reawakens you can literally feel the palpable energy …
Last week we changed the clocks to Daylight Savings Time. Between Thursday night and Friday morning we will all “lost “ an hour of sleep. Why do we make this clock change and how does it affect your health? The main purpose of Daylight Saving Time ( or “Summer Time” here in Israel) is to …

These fatty acids are deemed essential since …

At some point in my upbringing (after years of enjoying chicken skin) I was taught to limit fat, and look for low-fat versions of foods.. Suddenly butter was bad, egg yolks were bad, and we were never allowed …
Last week we discussed the importance of breathing through your nose with your mouth shut. Nose breathing warms and filters the air, raises oxygen absorption, and boosts nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is great for whole body health but in terms of immunity it can act as a first line of defense against possible bacterial or …
The tides seem to be turning, the rate of infection is dropping – and perhaps we can see a light at the end of this omicron tunnel. While I find myself relaxing my guard a bit, I am still focused on supporting and maintaining a strong immune system – for both myself and my clients. …
