Subvert Unfulfilled Consumerism

by Dr. Nicole Sundene in American Sickcare System, Kitchen Sink, Stress, Unfulfilled Consumerism June 11, 2008

An unnecessary cause of stress these days is unfulfilled consumerism. When we are stressed out we often immediately opt to buy something that will make us happy. We want the quick fix. Most of the time the joy of buying something is transient. The drug-like serotonin and dopamine rush we receive from our latest purchase […]

In my opinion, after interviewing thousands of people about their eating habits and disease states, the #1 most unhealthy mistake most unhealthy people all commonly seem to make is simply not eating breakfast.

Are you suffering from a TERMINAL case of “The I Can’ts”?

I would like to make the official announcement that starting tomorrow I am going to fine anyone that says “I can’t” twenty dollars. As much as this might be an elaborate scheme to support the “Dr. Nicole Early Retirement Plan” I will absolutely need to retire early if I am forced to continuously battle all […]

What did you Eat today?

by Dr. Nicole Sundene in American Sickcare System, Kitchen Sink, Weight Loss May 15, 2008

Chances are if you ate anything today then you are amongst the lucky ones. Those of us that can still afford food don’t have much of a right to complain about the rising costs of gas and food. Trust me, back in college I knew what it was like to collect a pile of change […]

Are Women Better Doctors?

by Dr. Nicole Sundene in American Sickcare System, Holistic Nutrition Tips, Kitchen Sink, Reader Questions May 11, 2008
