I will be hitting workouts all next week in Buffalo.  I have limited supplies there compared to my home or my gym, but much more than most of you would have at your homes, so I figured I would come up with a workout that is good for everyone, that I can choose to do next week. We are going to introduce the overhead squat in this one.  An exercise that will bring out all of your joint inflexibility and possibly some strength issues (even though we are only going to use a PVC pipe or broomstick for most of […]

I know many people read this blog from other parts of the country or world, so I apologize if this won’t seem relevant.  But for those who are here in the Atlanta area, this is for you.  Even though the EPA has called Atlanta one of the top 15 most toxic cities in the country… and Forbes listed it as number one, in one of their articles.  You should still be glad you live here. The why, is because there is an incredible access to health pursuit here.  And I surely hope you don’t take it for granted.  First, the […]

Selecting a pillow is one difficult task.  I have had patients tell me stories of having entire linen closets full of their attempts at finding pillow luxury, only to be failed attempts leading to a side business of pillow wholesaling.  Mattresses can be the same, its just that there aren’t too many people stashing the “wrong” mattress in a closet somwhere in the house. But you know what I am talking about.  You can test a pillow at the store, squish it, fluff it, lay your head sideways on it while its still in its packaging, and eventually come to […]

It has been hot.  Its always hot.  Since the first southern summer for me in Charlotte, to here 15 years later, the heat is stifling.  But it is a love/hate relationship.  I love working out in the heat, love working out in my yard in the heat, and enjoy doing anything where getting sweaty and dirty is accepted in the heat.  I do however, hate working in my office in the heat (I still love you guys, i just don’t like being sweaty when I do it)! So what to do?  Well, the cool thing about the heat, is that […]

In my doctor’s report, I talk about who you are, about who you are as it relates to your belief about health, and how that impacts your decisions.  Many of you have not seen a doctor’s report in years, which is sad.  It focuses you on your goal of care.  It keeps you motivated regarding your other health decisions. So what I am referring to is this: Each and every one of us who is acting under the medical mindset, the medical model, which says “I am fine because I am symptom free” is at fault for the state of […]

This Daily Sprout is going to serve two purposes… 1. I want to see what is on your mind, and 2. I am actually trying to secure a ride from the airport next Monday morning at 8am (yes, that means I won’t be in until about 9am). Let’s hit the first point. IF you had an hour to ask any health questions you have, or have had.  What would you ask?  For some of you, the questions are immediate, and complete.  You know what you want to know, you have a list.  A well established list.  You would run down […]

What in the world is SMOG?  And why is it so ridiculously prevalent in Atlanta?  Well, actually… I don’t care about its prevalence today, that is important, and it relates to our topography, our weather/wind patterns and our sad state of air pollution.  My interest in this quest is to understand its impact on you. The wikipedia definition of smog lists that it is “a type of air pollution derived from vehicular emission from internal combustion engines and industrial fumes that react in the atmosphere with sunlight to form secondary pollutants that also combine with the primary emissions to form photochemical smog“. That’s a […]

This is the most current update on the aquaponics work, I will update this again when we get some more substantial progress from here. – Dr. E

  Our family has believed in a holistic health care lifestyle for many years. Daily, our hearts and minds live with the peace that God gives us. Our bodies thrive on a diet of local and organic fruits and vegetables, as well as organic kosher meats, beans, nuts, and sprouted grains, dairy, and a small amount of ice cream thrown in! We live an active lifestyle with a three year old and a one year old, running, walking, jumping on the trampoline, and chasing kids around the backyard. Through extensive research, we have chosen to only put organic and natural […]
