    Smart Phone Health: Can you heal me now?

    Can you heal me now? Remember the recent phone company commercial about the guy popping up all over the country in some of the most bizarre locations. He was constantly talking into his cell phone asking, “Can you hear me now? Good.” Telemedicine has become the new darling in the health care world, with early adopters now saying, “I told you so,” and new users saying, “I wish I had bought this earlier.” Insurance plans, health care providers, employers, benefits companies and many other organizations all over the nation are touting the coolness of talking with a physician or medical facility and getting a diagnosis. Telemedicine is revolutionizing health care.

    Weight Loss: The who, what, when, where, how and why

    The who, what, when, where, how and why One of the most common reasons why many of us struggle with weight loss and weight maintenance is because we fail to look at the: who, what, when, where, how and why we actually gained the weight in the first place. Once we’re able to ask ourselves these questions and come up with some insightful answers, we can understand how to finally create a weight loss plan that actually works.

    Can Stress Be Good For You?: It’s all about your perspective

    This title seems like an oxymoron because we constantly hear about all the negative effects of stress on our body and mind. In fact, stress is the leading contributor of chronic illness today. Now there are several recent research studies that indicate positive approaches to stress. Firstly, let’s define stress. It is any strain or force on the body or mind. It is basically a dis-harmony or instability of a once-balanced state. Dr. Hans Selye, the most renowned authority and researcher on stress, defines it simply as the rate of wear and tear on the body. Dr. Selye coined the term stress in 1936 and then gave us the term “eustress”, which is stress that is healthy or gives you a sense of fulfillment. Perhaps, getting a promotion or becoming excited when your favorite team wins. The prefix eu- derives from the Greek word meaning either "well" or "good." When attached to the word stress, it literally means "good stress".
