The fresh spring weather has encouraged me to start some spring cleaning. I have been determined to get our house in order before gong back to work in a couple of weeks. Toys have taken over the house and my kids are growing like weeds, leaving me with lots of...
Over the many years as a clinician, my patients have asked what can supplements be used for, what brands should they buy and even if supplements are needed at all. I hope to try to shed some light on this topic for you. Below are some of the more common myths so...
