Preparing for Labor & Delivery: Start Now, Don't Wait!

There is so much you can do to prepare for labor and delivery that will significantly increase your likelihood of having an optimal birth!

STAYING AT HOME - EASIER SAID THAN DONE . . .

We are 27 days into self-quarantine, and I gotta say, this is tough! Doable, but quite challenging. Flatten the curve . . . social distancing? Hey, I'm totally on-board because I want us all to get back to our lives sooner than later. The thing is, I'm a social guy by nature, which I guess is why I chose a profession that insists that I see people all day long. But, you know what? I really miss you guys!! Cristina does too... We hope you're weathering this "Time out" as best

PTSD Recovery for Veterans - The Benefits of NADA's Acupuncture Protocol

MY FATHER WAS A NAVY SEAL I never knew my Father was a Navy Seal . . . not until after his passing, on the day of his memorial almost thirty years later. We all knew he'd served in the Navy, but that was it. He never talked about his service in the Korean War, nor his multiple tours in Vietnam, and he served right up until the very end. In later years, as a civilian, he never made comment on the modern-day wars, such as the Persian Gulf or any of the other international confl

Chinese Medicine - Can Promote A Good Night’s Sleep

BALANCE THE YIN & YANG For EXCELLENT SLEEP Traditional Chinese Medicine’s (TCM) Yin / Yang theory follows that sleep occurs when the yang energies of the day gently fold into the Yin energies of nighttime. The “Yin” energy of the body is cooling, calming and restorative. It correlates to sunset and nighttime, when our bodies turn inward, slow down and take time to regenerate. Conversely, daytime correlates with the concept of “Yang”, which is expansive, stimulating and warmin
