Number of Americans with Diabetes Projected to Double or Triple by 2050
As many as 1 in 3 U.S. adults could have diabetes by 2050 if current trends continue, according to a new analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One in 10 U.S. adults has diabetes now. The prevalence is expected to rise sharply over the next 40 years due to an aging population more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, increases in minority groups that are at high risk for type 2 diabetes, and people with diabetes living longer, according to CDC projections published in the journal Population Health Metrics. Because the study factored in aging, minority populations and lifespan, the projections are higher than previous estimates. View more

Continuing our Wellness Journey - Moving
 This week our journey focuses on Moving, the 5th of 12 keys to wellness in the Wellness Inventory. Everything in us is moving. The heart pumps, blood flows, lungs expand and contract, eyes roll, eardrums vibrate. To be alive is to be moving. Inhibit the movement and you create illness. Stop movement and you are dead. Allow it fully and you realize wellness. Because of this movement, everything is changing from moment to moment. To block movement therefore is to block change. The moving body freely channels the energy of life. View more

Healthy Living with Natural Medicine - "Do You Have a Toxic Workplace?" - Holly Lucille, N.D., R.D.
I am not talking about the "toxic workplace" often reported when a work environment is full of backstabbing, gossiping co-workers, a controlling boss or demanding clients. I am talking about toxic substances in your workplace that might be making you physically sick. Depending on where you work, your exposure to toxic substances could be intensified, contributing significantly to your health issues. View more

Integrator Blog - "Health Coaching: Sheila Quinn and Jamey Dyson, DC Challenge Naysayer on Role in Integrative Practices"
The Integrator has closely followed the work to set standards and national certification in health coaching led by professionals from Harvard and U Minnesota. The coverage stimulated Chris Johnson, ND to write a column in which be noted that he was "disturbed" by the focus. He shared his reasons: scientific, philosophical and economic. His comments provoked these two response columns. One is from Sheila Quinn, a 30+ year veteran of significant educational and policy initiatives in integrative care. The second is from Oregon chiropractor and Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practitioner. Dyson wonders, among other things, how widespread are Chris Johnson's views in the naturopathic community.

Ask Dr. Orloff About Intuitive Healing - "Positive Energy: The Fourth Prescription"
Fear is the biggest energy thief there is. A master seducer, it shamelessly robs of us of everything good and powerful, preys on our vulnerabilities. Many people become mesmerized for a lifetime, letting negative attitudes seize control. Enough! Though some fears are intuitively protective (we'll go into these), we can't let the irrational ones bamboozle us. Fear never stands alone; it inflames every vampiric emotion from worry to shame.
