Winter blues are more than the letdown of going back to normal life after the excitement of the holidays. We know that the shorter days and less sunshine lead to Seasonal Affective Disorder with the convenient abbreviation SAD.

One of the most powerful New Year’s resolutions and probably the easiest may be to simply drink more water. Virtually everything the body does requires water. So, if we gradually build a water deficit, normal processes can slow down or even grind to a halt. After all, next to oxygen, water is most vital to […]

In fact, I could probably spend full time writing “clarifications” of what the health news actually means for the public. Here are some recent examples: Underestimated value When a study appears to show no value for supplements, where are […]
Healthy by Nature is very excited about a new project. We would really appreciate (and need) your help—even if nothing more than to simply view a short entertaining video (where among other things you’ll see that I should have had a stylist to fix the back of my hair). I was inspired by a mom, […]
Some important research hits the front page, but many times it doesn’t or does so with unhelpful spin. For example, in this case calcium, D & diet guidelines.
