Justin from Colorado Writes:

Weight gain has been my hurdle for the last year. For some reason I seem to gain weight even though I am living a healthy lifestyle. My energy levels have dropped, I don’t sleep that well, and I have developed the spare tire that everyone keeps talking about. I am only 36, what do you think could be the issue?

I have been dealing with chronic arthritis and fibromyalgia for years. Is there anything that I can add to my current lifestyle that will help? I hear there are many natural ways to help. What can I do? 

Dear Sylvia,

Strokes are growing by leaps and bounds in our country today. It is becoming one of the leading causes of death in adults over the age of 65. We must do something. The great news is that so much of our lifestyle is a supporting factor to increasing our overall health. Here are some of the top tips for stroke prevention in the latest research.

1.Hold The Salt
High blood pressure is one of the top reasons for a stroke. Excessively high sodium levels are one of the reasons for the increase in blood pressure. Aim for now more than 2400mg of sodium per day and 1500mg if you had any heart issues.

2.Control Blood Pressure
One of the leading ways is with exercise. The research says 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week. Walking is a great start.

I am 51 and weigh about 200lbs. I am ready to make a lifestyle change. I am taking two medications for blood pressure and one for diabetes. My doctor says to eat better and start exercising, but I don’t know where to begin. What do you suggest?

Dear Connie,

Brea from Colorado Writes:

It’s the cold and flu season and I am concerned about my two children. They are in school where kids are constantly getting sick. What preventative measures can I take to help them stay healthy during this season? Should they be out playing in the cold weather?

Dear Brea,

It is that time of year again and so many of us believe the old tales that have been passed down to us from our families and not from medical research. I want to help bust some of the myths that we typically hear and give you some real solutions on how to create a healthy environment for your family during the season.

Here are some of the basics:

Jenna From Florida Writes:

I recently had my first child. I am a working mother with a demanding career. I have found it difficult to juggle the stress of being an executive, wife, and now mother. My daughter is 6 months now and I am having constant bouts of diarrhea, gas, bloating, and then constipation. My doctor says they can't find anything wrong. They think it might be Irritable Bowel Syndrome. What should I do?

Dear Jenna,

David from Iowa Writes:

I have been dealing with sleep issues for more than a year now. I tend to struggle to stay asleep and generally wake up around 2 or 3 am. What do you think could be causing this? I don’t want to start taking sleep medications but I am tired all day long. 

Dear David,
