Osteoporosis Diet

Who among us is not busy-to-the-max? We juggle responsibilities and activities as best we can, letting out a sigh at the end of the day as we finish our sunup-to-sundown race with time. What we generally don’t see is what’s that constant stress is doing inside our bodies. During my last visit with Dr. Rogers, […]

Dr. Rogers’ comment today surprised me! After examining my blood on the dark field viewer, he said, “You don’t need a Dexascan.” He also said I no longer needed to take the megadoses of calcium, strontium, and other minerals.

I’m trying out a new belly dancing class this month at a shop downtown called Nourish To Flourish. The class is taught in a small studio on Main Street (208 N. Woodland Boulevard, DeLand, Florida) by former professional dancer Ava Zamora. Last night I learned how to use a veil while belly dancing and was […]

Planet Fitness just opened a fitness center here in sunny DeLand, Florida, and I am their newest member! Yup, I joined up Friday afternoon after school. Cost? $10 per month–actually $10.65 including the tax–plus a $29.00 one-time set-up fee and a $20.00 guarantee of the $10 per month fee for one year. I signed up […]

Today was my last visit with Dr. White because…my shoulder fracture is healed and mobility is nearing 100%! Dr. White did have some words of advice as he sent me on my way. Continued stretching, he said, is essential over the next year. He suggested finding a door in my house that is strongly hinged […]
