Why do they all seem to work? It doesn't make sense as they are all different.

Or are they?

Think about it. What is the one thing they have in common?

Conscious eating.

People on these diets or eating lifestyles are focused on what they eat. Therefore, they avoid eating a bunch of processed foods, high saturated fats, sugar or alcohol.

If one is focused and conscious of what foods they put into their system, they will likely lose weight, sleep better, have more energy and improved mood.

So - forget the diets. Just be conscious of what you buy, where you go to eat and what you eat. That's all. No secret and no fads.

A great book that was recommended to me by a classmate is entitled exactly what we are talking about: Conscious Eating

I have not read all of it, but what I ha...

• Tired is an obvious one which I'll throw a twist.
• Role-modeling of other little temper tantrum-causing rascals is another.
• Hungry is another obvious one which I will throw a twist on also.
• Parent giving in before to temper tantrums - the rascal winning.
• Food intolerances causing brain fog and digestive upset.

1. Cut a little upside-down triangle in the middle of your ingrown toenail - this encourages the nail to grow back together - away from your toes outside edge. No need to enter the 'quick' - just a little triangle and make sure it is in the center and upside down.
2. Soak your ingrown toenails in a basin of warm water or dark beer. Both will soften the nail - especially the warm dark beer. You can keep the beer in your home for a few days before you have to toss it out. After three days, toss it and open a new bottle. Soak for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Take a rounded toothpick or something which can lift up the ingrown toenail outside edges. Then push in a small piece of gauze or cotton. under the outside ingrown toenail edges - this encourages the ingrown toenail to grow up and out again - not down and under...change the cotton or gauze daily so it doesn't harbor bugs and fungus.

A middle-aged man came into the clinic today with complaints of fatigue and over-worked. He loves his job as a prison mental health counselor yet it is 40 hours of intense work. He no longer can exercise on weekends, too tired to hang out with his buds and his Saturday is wasted as he can only lay on the couch. He drinks about 1 gallon of water a day, loves his chocolate and sugar but overall eats a healthy diet with a ton of veggies included.

He went to a MD last week as he wanted to address why he was so thirsty all the time. The doc ran a lab test and said he is not sick in any way. He asked to check him for diabetes due to his thirst - and that too was fine.

Frustrated he came to see us and wanted to know if we could do something for him. The visit was only a brief as he wanted to only meet us and scope out the clinic.

Well, we don't do anything for anyone really. What a good physician does is facilitate one's health and guides patients. Patients fix themselves once they have th...
