Pain Relief Through Distraction: It’s Not All in Your Head
Pain relief through distraction is not all in your head. Mental distractions make pain easier to take and that is where hypnosis for pain control comes in. In both my Seattle hypnosis and Bainbridge Island hypnosis offices (and via Skype) I have coached many people who learn hypnosis to control their pain. Learn self-hypnosis and [...]
Losing Weight May Help Lower Cancer Risk
There are so many reasons to lose weight and one of them is to help lower the risk of cancer. According to a study published in the journal Cancer Research, losing even a small proportion of your overall body weight significantly reduces inflammation in your body and potentially lowers your risk of developing several different [...]
Stop Judging Yourself
Do you ever wish that you could just stop judging yourself? I hear frequently people beating themselves up with very abusive self-talk for. Sometimes, this judgment is about a dieting slip – eating food that makes you fat when you are trying to lose weight. Often at the core of this negative self-talk is guilt [...]
Michael Klaper MD – From Operating Table to Dining Room Table
This lecture, From Operating Table to Dining Room Table, with Dr. Michael Klaper, is a must see. Its one that I will be recommending to family, friends and clients for a long time to come. You may be thinking, “OK, I get it, but I could never eat like that. My family and friends eat [...]
Happy Birthday Mom and Josh
Happy birthday Mom and Josh! Today is a special day in my family: My Mom is 90 years old and our youngest son, Josh, is 30. Both were born on May 14, 60 years apart. One of the many things that I love about both of them is that they live their lives true to [...]
Easing Stress, Easing Arthritis Symptoms
Yesterday I wrote in 1/3 With Arthritis Report Anxiety or Depression I wrote “I started using my unconscious mind to make changes with my autoimmune system. I used stress reduction techniques that allowed my immune system to function better.” Over the years of teaching clients stress management and how to use their unconscious mind with [...]
1/3 With Arthritis Report Anxiety or Depression
I’m not at all surprised to read that 1/3 of the people with arthritis report anxiety or depression. As someone who has suffered with rheumatoid arthritis in the past, I experienced stress, anxiety and depression. It is frightening and depressing to have your body ache and no longer work as it should and to watch [...]
Healthy Diet, Regular Exercise Can Improve Cancer Survival Odds

I have worked with many people who are living with cancer or who are cancer survivors. I talk about the importance of a plant-strong diet, being physically [...]
Stress Reduction Helps Patients Battle Cancer
It should be no surprise that stress reduction helps patients battle cancer. For the past several years I have had the opportunity to teach stress reduction, mindfulness and self hypnosis skills to many people living with and recovering from cancer. Learning how to be calm and relaxed in stressful situations has been essential for these [...]
Happy People Have Healthier Hearts
It only makes sense that happy people have healthier hearts – and that’s not new news. In Proverbs 17:22 it says that “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” And Proverbs 23:7 says “For as a person thinketh in their heart, so is he or she.” There are [...]
Fast Foods Saltier in U.S. Than Overseas?
Countries overseas have been demanding that US fast foods be less saltier. So, why wouldn’t McDonald’s and Subway offer the same food here? It only makes health sense that they would do that. If you have followed my posts, you know that I am passionate about healthcare reform and that I believe that I believe [...]
Western Diets, Western Diseases
Our Western diets are causing Western diseases. As food industry profits soar, so do disease rates. In Japan, type 2 diabetes prevalence rose from less than 5 percent of the over-40 population in 1980 to 11 to 12 percent just 10 years later. The disease now affects close to 10 percent of people in China, [...]
Diet Soda and Increased Risk of Vascular Events
Diet soft drink consumption is associated with an increased risk of vascular events in the Northern Manhattan Study. The study published last month showed that daily diet soda drinkers had a 44% greater chance of heart attack or stroke than those who don’t drink diet soda. Soda has also been linked to osteoporosis and recent [...]
