New Hope For Alzheimer’s
Do you know anyone who’s life has been cut short by symptoms of Dementia or Alzheimer’s? Are they desperate to get their brains back? You’ve probably heard that there is no cure for Alzheimer’s. But as a Neuroscientist, Epidemiologist and Holistic Brain Health Practitioner, I am more optimistic about prospects for recovery than most Western Medical Doctors. Why? I’ve presented this information to several audiences, and was asked to make a video so that it can be shared. Since I made this video, thousands of early...

Lois was starting to forget things. First it began with forgetting names or words in the middle of a conversation. She quickly dismissed it as a sign of old age, and decided that it wasn’t anything to worry about. But she started to get more embarrassed about her occasional memory lapses, and felt less and less inclined to leave her home for social activities. She had been cooking for her husband John for years, but, her meals were becoming more bland. Sometimes she forgot vegetables, other times, she forgot the meat. John noticed things...
read moreHow Our Filter Messes With Our Relationships
Years ago, I had a housemate that I could never seem to please. While I harbored no ill will towards him, he seemed to be offended at everything I said or did, regardless of my intention behind it. If I tried to apologize or explain my intentions, he wouldn’t hear them. I started to feel like everything I did, regardless of my intent would be taken as being rude or inconsiderate, and I felt like I was walking on eggshells. It was exhausting! In a calmer moment between us, I tried to explain to him that he (like everyone) has a filter, which...
read moreA Powerful Strategy to Become the Best You
As I child I was told early on that I asked too many questions and had too many needs. My father was constantly angry, and he told me it was my responsibility to not make him so. So my response was to belittle my needs, and try to be less demanding. Recently, I found myself in a similar pattern in a project I was working on, where I felt like I was walking on eggshells to fulfill the needs of someone else. I dismissed my own needs in favor of theirs and began getting resentful. Yet I am a firm believer that we need to stand up for our...
read moreThe Easiest Way to Fast Track Transformation
For most of my life, I hated myself. I could write volumes of books about what was wrong with me. The worse thing about this was that I felt hopeless to change so many of the things I hated about myself. Transformation felt slow, arduous and even impossible! Now when I discover something I want to change about myself, for many things, I know how to get shifts in only a few hours! For example, a few months ago, I was experiencing a slump in my business, despite increased speaking engagements and more exposure. I couldn’t figure out why,...

read more7 Tips to Respectfully Discuss Divisive Topics:
America has grown increasingly divided, especially over the course of this last election, and I worry in today’s political climate, it could get worse before it gets better. The increasing divisiveness has made me want to only spend time with people I agree with. But I’ve realized that my tendency to stay one sided only reinforces my own way of thinking, and does not help us bridge the widening gaps between us. Americans now more than ever need to find ways to bridge the divide. We need to be able to sit down and respectfully talk to people...
read more3 Steps to Become Open Hearted
For most of my life, I was seen as indifferent, cold or standoffish. I always admired people who could be loving and open hearted the moment we met. But I never felt comfortable letting down my guard with people that quickly. I wondered, how could they trust someone so quickly? How could these people be so sure that they wouldn’t get hurt? In those darker moments, I spent a lot of time in blame mode. I blamed my farther for his constant criticism, for making me feel never enough. I blamed my mother for her inability to defend me...
read more5 Steps to Recover From The 2016 Election
Many people I know, including myself, are struggling to grapple with the implications of this election. Not only has a racist xenophobe won the election, but Republicans will now have complete control over every branch of government. For those of us concerned about racial tolerance, the environment, and preserving the social programs we do have, there are no words to describe how worried we are. And for those of us concerned about climate change, there is a growing terror about the Republican’s denial that global warming is man made, and...
