Countdown… It’s officially 40 DAYS until my book comes out. I wrote The Hormone Cure because I want to change the conversation we’re having about women’s health & hormones – or rather, start the conversation we’re NOT having. Because I believe that when it comes to our health, women deserve more choices, not less. The [...]
Injured? Stressed Out? Try Yin Yoga
January 31, 2013 by ·
I’m devoting this entire article to the joys of yoga. “Why?” you ask (as if you didn’t know that I’m a dedicated yoga teacher as well as a physician). There’s no better way to start the year off with more resilience, flexibility and healing power than with a yoga program. And besides, I believe in using [...]
The ONE resolution to make (AND KEEP) this year
January 15, 2013 by ·
It’s the start of a new year, a time for making resolutions. I’m not interested in you becoming yet another statistic in 2013, such as the one that tells us that 80% of people fail at the resolution by January 20. Together, let’s do it differently this year. Think different, as Steve Jobs famously said. [...]

December 21, 2012 by ·
Be honest: is your holiday season centered on food? Noshing your way through a cocktail party, or wondering about the caliber of wine at your work gathering? Helping yourself to a second serving of gorgonzola mashed potatoes or Yorkshire pudding at the family dinner…or a few more latkes at Aunt Sadie’s Hanukkah celebration? Yes, Hanukkah [...]
The Spy Who Loved D (or To D or Not to D—Redux)
December 7, 2012 by ·
On the occasion of the silver-screen James Bond’s 50th anniversary, I have been contemplating the enduring appeal of the ultra suave and debonair British superspy. Now, a half-century and six Bond actors later, the series (and the Ian Fleming franchise) is one of the longest running in history. Why? Because of the character’s universal appeal [...]

November 6, 2012 by ·
Please vote. I have been trying for a day to watch three of my favorite people: super lovable Rick Hanson of Buddha Brain, and his interview with Richie Davidson, known for his amazing work on meditation with the Dalai Lama. I can’t finish the thing. But I’ve watched the Harvard Baseball team cover Carly Rae [...]
How to Up Your Game with Stress: 3 Tips to Balance Hormones Naturally
October 24, 2012 by ·
Time for a confession. Two weeks ago, I was blissed out to meet Ricki Lake as a guest who helps women de-stress. I riffed with Ricki on tips you’ve might not have heard before, from the emWave to medicinal chocolate. It was thrilling to be on national TV for the first time, but perhaps not [...]
