<p>Getting to the Causes of Insomnia Screen time and bed time don&#8217;t mix If you tell  yourself, &#8220;I&#8217;m not tire.  I&#8217;ll just watch one more episode.&#8221;  You are right!  The brightness of your TV and phone screens can confuse your brain into thinking it is still daytime.  Studies show your brain produce less melatonin, the [&hellip;]</p>

<p>What are Bio-Identical Hormones? Bio-identical hormones are estrogen and progesterone with the same chemical structure as the estrogen and progesterone our body naturally produce.  Unlike Premarin (made from horse urine), soy/red clover phyto-estrogen, or other &#8220;natural hormones&#8221;, bio-identical hormones are indistinguishable from your own hormones.  When used as hormone replacement therapy for women post-menopause, bio-identical [&hellip;]</p>

Although, the same standard has yet to be found in non-children [&hellip;]</p>

When antibiotics were first discovered, it saved countless [&hellip;]</p>

<p>It’s the most wonderful of the year.  Your toddler and school age children are going back to daycare and school.  Things are finally back to routine… that is, until they inevitably catch a cold/flu from one of their cohorts.  Then the whole family catches it too.
