Many couples struggle with infertility; they want to start a family but time passes with no results. This week, I’ll cover three recent studies that examine some factors that may affect fertility. Researchers tested the fluids from the cervical-vaginal area in 96 subjects to examine the microbiome: were there any differences in the microbes in […]
In last week’s posts, I gave you six questions to evaluate fake health news. Did I forget to say there’d be a quiz? Below are three stories that you’ve sent me to check out. If you click on the link, it will take you to the story. As I take the rest of the week […]
The final questions about checking fake health news completely depend on you—what you know and what your gut tells you. Let’s take a look: 5. Does it match your prior knowledge? We all come to the table with a certain amount of knowledge. When it comes to health, it may be from a high school […]

You eat well and you exercise, but you still can’t lose any weight. What if the answer was in the natural rhythms of your body?

Based on the studies covered in the Tuesday and Thursday posts, you may be confused about what you should do when it comes to folic acid, especially if you’re pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant. I read a lot of research to come up with this analysis and here’s what I found. There are three […]
