Staying Safe and Supporting Your Immune System in the New Era of Covid
Covid-19 has been on our radar for about a year and a half now, and some new terms have entered the conversation. “Variants”, “long-haul”, “long-covid”, and “jabs” have all been added to our vocabularies. With a new surge of infections spreading across the country, we thought it was time to have another conversation about how to prevent and manage Covid-19 infections
Soft Fascination: Nature’s Medicine for a Tired Brain
Have you ever found yourself feeling tired and burned out after period of working on the computer or concentrating intensely on something for a while? Maybe you intuitively knew that going outside for a walk or some time in the garden, or even just “vegging out”...
Go Take a Walk
For a versatile and simple exercise routine, few activities can rival walking. Most of us have been walking since we were toddlers, it’s something that can be done almost anywhere in almost every season, it doesn’t require any special equipment (though a pair of comfortable shoes are necessary), it’s a joint-friendly, low impact option, and the benefits are extremely helpful for people of all fitness levels. The more consistently you do it, the more you will experience these benefits. Read on for inspiration to get out there and take a walk!

The recommendations below are accessible, simple, and effective in addressing both the causes and the symptoms of seasonal allergies.

Simple & Profound: The Benefits of Staying Well Hydrated
One of the most effective strategies for getting through the pandemic is putting more time and attention into self-care. Being extra kind to yourself and creating habits that nurture your body, mind and spirit can be a real life-saver against the backdrop of day-to-day stresses exacerbated by Covid-inspired social distancing, isolation, fear, anxiety, or grief. So, please, do things for yourself that make your body feel better, bring a sense of calm to your mind and raise your spirits.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Finding Relief
Here in Colorado and in many other places, it feels like winter has arrived after a mild weather November. The days are getting shorter and that will continue for another month, while colder weather and snow become the norm. Many of us feel a sense of “winter blues” as warm, sunny days give way to winter chills. These “winter blues” are not uncommon, can range in severity from mild to severe, and are medically referred to as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
What should you know about Ketamine therapy? Part 2: Patient Perspective
