Food, Micronutrients and Your Health
A few weeks ago I attended an event called “Food As Medicine”. It was sponsored by The Center For Mind Body Medicine and Georgetown University School of Medicine. I learned from people like Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Cynthia Geyer, Kathie Swift, MS, RD and Jeanne Wallace, PhD.

You probably know this already but I am knee deep in the study of Anti-Aging Medicine.

Let me know what you think!

Stop It! Okay, so this is not a great way to start a conversation, telling you to “Stop It”. But I can’t help it. As a Physician I meet so many women who want to “get better”, “feel better”, and “be able to do more”. But I have to say that does require some work. If...
