The Environmental Working Group (ewg.org) has published their 2013 Guide to Pesticides in Produce. This list is useful in helping you decide which particular fruits and veggies that you should buy organic. EWG analyzes data from the Department of Agriculture about pesticide residue. Produce that consistently has the highest levels of produce ends up on the Dirty Dozen list.
The weather is warming up nicely, and spring around the Bay Area usually means that seasonal allergies are starting to kick in. Pollen, mold or pet dander can all trigger allergies; with the latter two we can usually control our exposure. When it comes to pollen, controlling exposure to it while you are outdoors during this season is not possible.
By now most of my current patients have been to the new space, I’m enjoying the new office and the company of the wonderful people I have the honor of sharing space with. I’m looking forward to a few speaking engagements in the next two months, do you know of a group that may be looking for a speaker for their meetings or events? Keep me in mind, I love educating people about Naturopathic Medicine and how it can help solve so many health concerns.
Hope that everyone has had a great start to 2013! I know that it is going to be an amazing year for all of us. First of all, please note the new address for the practice. 3100 Oak Road, Ste 120 Walnut Creek, CA 94597
Migraines can be debilitating headaches that rob you of your quality of life. Migraine headaches are intensified by the nausea, light sensitivity and vomiting that can accompany them. Affecting 1 out of 8 Americans, the severity of these headaches can vary based on the patient and each occurrence. More often affecting women, the cause of migraines is still mostly unknown. The throbbing pain of a migraine headache is mostly one sided but can move from one side to the other, and it is usually worsened with activity.
