Natural Toothpaste Recipes

Given how harmful plastic is to our environment […]
COVID-19: What Are We Missing?

Anxiety: It’s not all “in your head”
I’m concerned by the sudden rise of debilitating anxiety in the patients who walk through my door. These people are feeling deeply unstable, ungrounded, and unsafe. Anxiety is harming their relationships with people, with food, and their environment. They’re confused by the cause of their anxiety and are hoping that I have a pill to […]
