KNOWLEDGE -IS IT POWER OR PARANOIA?

In my two years and counting researching and writing for 4Women.com, I have learned more than I maybe ever wanted to know about hair loss and cancer. Along the way, a question has been repeated to me by new

employees - “don’t you start feeling paranoid thinking about this stuff

all the time?”

VITAMIN D - THE NEWEST SUPER NUTRIENT

At one of my last endocrinologist visits, the doctor suggested I have my Vitamin D levels tested, stating that Vitamin D deficiency is nearly universal these days. What!? This is not Seattle and I don’t just live

in the Sunshine State. I play tennis, golf, run, walk the dogs, and

swim, all in our super-strenght UV rays. I couldn’t possibly be

deficient in the so-called “sunshine vitamin”.…

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month draws to a close, women currently undergoing treatments can visit my office Saturday morning October 30 for a free acupuncture session. Three slots are available.

Grand Opening of Michael’s New Wine Cellar and Tasting Room

If the response to Saturday’s grand opening of Michael’s New Wine Cellar and Tasting Room is any indication, then Michael Klauber and Phil Mancini have yet another winner on their hands. Michael’s dream to renovate and expand the Wine Cellar came to fruition when the long-awaited space finally became available next door. With its industrial ceilings and intimate bistro style, the renovation resembles something you’d be more likely to find in New York than Sarasota. A small bar area, high top… Continue

Highlights of the Ringling International Arts Festival

The Ringling International Arts Festival (RIAF) struck gold, at least in the eyes of this year’s patrons. With high caliber performances throughout the five-day Ringling International Arts Festival, festival-goers seemed awestruck by the amount of talent and creativity displayed in performance after performance. Baryshnikov Arts Center’s artistic direction of the festival resulted in a blend of theater, music and dance from established artists as… Continue

research wanting to educate the public about solutions to sustainability issues.

Deltas and estuaries are among the most productive and the most threatened ecosystems…

“beautiful”. I’m all for head wear and fashion accessories that help us

to step out into the world with dignity and confidence, feeling bold

The stars were aligned for Opening Night of the Ringling International Arts Festival, and event organizers aligned them perfectly. Pre-performance champagne toasts in theater lobbies began the evening with sparkle that carried throughout the evening. As The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and Baryshnikov Arts Center partnered for the festival, the Night of Premieres included four world premiere performances: solos by Mikhail Baryshnikov and…

Relationship Tip of the Week: Don’t Be a Pest

I often hear people in relationship say things to each other like, “I was just trying to annoy you.” “I knew it would irritate you; I was only being funny.” What these statements are really saying is “I know the things that upset you, and I am purposely doing them.” That statement doesn’t sound loving, does it? And it’s not.

Healthy relationships are about cherishing each other. It is never cherishing to intentionally do something that you know your partner won’t like. Often such… Continue

Better Sleep With Acupuncture

Most patients sleep better after their acupuncture treatments.

It doesn't matter why they've come in. Could be a bad back, weight loss or any number of reasons. But when people revisit and I ask them about their sleep, the reports are almost universally positive.

Interestingly, sleep is a condition I am rarely asked to treat. While insomnia has various causes in Chinese Medicine - from extra body heat to… Continue
