Reports have stated that a sedentary life is not great for your health. Poor posture such as slouching can affect the health of your spine. Long periods of inactivity can lead to obesity, poor cardiovascular health, diabetes and even some cancers according to this report by The Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research. During the summer many of us travel by car or plane long distances sitting in cramped spaces which is not good for our health. Adults often take on physical activities with properly preparing their bodies. Dr. Charla Fischer, a spinal surgeon with Columbia University Medical Center, will discuss

Fearless Fabulous You! July 25- Why Does Eye Disease Affect More Women Than Men?

On July 25, 2016 / Fearless Fabulous You Radio Show, Women's Health

Did you know 2 out of 3 visually impaired people are women? One reason is women are living longer. Family history can also be a factor in your eye health. It’s an unfortunate fact that women are at a greater risk than men of developing serious eye diseases. It’s estimated two-thirds of all blindness and visual impairment occurs in women. Dry eye disease, cataracts, macular degeneration and glaucoma are all diseases which affect women at a higher rate than men. Although there are no cures for these diseases, there are steps that you can take to prevent the risk of disease and maintain

Is Your Elderly Parent Eating Properly? Fearless Fabulous You! July 11

On July 10, 2016 / Aging Gracefully, Fearless Fabulous You Radio Show, Nutrition and Diet, Over 50

Remember when your Mom used to bug you about eating your vegetables when you were a child? Well, in my case the shoe is now on the other foot. My 80ish young at heart mother does not like to eat vegetables. Nor does she like to cook. Her meals consist of supermarket takeout or restaurant leftovers or, sigh!, slices of cake and pie. She has a wicked sweet tooth. I worry she is too thin and malnourished; she brushes it off as earning the right at her age to eat whatever she wants if it tastes good. According to the nonprofit

Beauty Recipes from the Kitchen with Heather Marianna

On April 10, 2016 / Fearless Fabulous You Radio Show, Healthy Living

According to Beauty Kitchen Founder Heather Marianna “The kitchen isn’t just for cooking anymore.” I get it! Since I was a young girl in college with a limited beauty budget I was always looking for natural, homemade solutions to caring for my skin, hair and nails. I was a fan of the skin care authority, Aida Gray, who had legions of Hollywood actresses and clients and a book on natural beauty. Store brought products, from mayonnaise and yogurt to honey, sugar, oatmeal, banana and eggs are just some of the ingredients I’ve mixed in various concoctions and applied to my face.

When “Good in Bed” Means a Good Night’s Sleep

On April 2, 2016 / Fearless Fabulous You Radio Show, Healthy Living

These days my definition of being “good in bed” refers less to sex and more to getting a decent night’s sleep. Like many adults I am challenged with bouts of nighttime wakefulness (aka insomnia). And I am not alone. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “Insufficient sleep is a public health problem.” An estimated 50 to 70 million U.S. adults have sleep or wakefulness disorder. Source The reality is: What most people are not getting enough of in bed is a good night’s sleep. Hopefully by having better Zzzzs you’ll feel more on your A-game. What I

Think Twice Before Booking Elective Surgery

On April 2, 2016 / Fearless Fabulous You Radio Show, Healthy Living, Men's Health, Women's Health

Many years ago I had elective surgery. While I was happy with the outcome, I had an unwelcome side effect: a pretty awful infection at the incision site that took weeks to clear up. I’m not alone. Many people have contracted nasty infections from surgical procedures. Serious infections can also result from everyday cuts and scrapes. When I was a very young girl I contracted blood poisoning after stepping on a pine needle walking barefoot in the yard and had to be hospitalized. My symptoms were a red line creeping up my leg from my foot and pain. Hearing the news this past

Menopause Should Not Mean Pushing the Pause Button on Pleasurable Sex

On March 27, 2016 / Aging Gracefully, Fearless Fabulous You Radio Show

According to a national study on sex conducted by Indiana University’s Center for Sexual Health Promotion “Many older adults continue to have active pleasurable sex lives, reporting a range of different behaviors and partner types.” The same study reported that 46 percent of men and 33 percent of women over 70 report that they masturbate, and 43 percent of men and 22 percent of women in the same age bracket say they engage in sexual intercourse. You may be reading this and either nodding your head in agreement or shaking it in disbelief, especially if you are experiencing symptoms of menopause.

Learn To Clear Your Love Hurdles

On March 13, 2016 / Attitude Adjustment, Fearless Fabulous You Radio Show, Happiness

Some people have love handles. Others have love hurdles. Love hurdles are the skips and starts, highs and lows we need to clear for a happier love life. It starts with loving yourself and projecting that love. Self love is not easy for some women. Many of us are loving to others but self-doubting or even self-loathing about who we are. We peer into mirrors and tear apart our appearances. We apologize unnecessarily. We compare our lives to others and worry about not keeping up, fitting in or being accepted. Lives that appear perfect are not. Flawless appearances are carefully

She Makes Soup with Soul- Elina Fuhrman- Fearless Fabulous Women

On March 4, 2016 / Fearless Fabulous You Radio Show, Healthy Living, Inspiring Women

The healing power of soup can never be underestimated. A warm bowl of chicken soup will ease a cold. A mug of nourishing bone broth may be the only thing a cancer patient in treatment can tolerate. A cup of tomato soup with a toasty sandwich brings back happy childhood memories. A simmering pot of vegetable soup laced with herbs and spices warms a kitchen and a few hearts around the table. And that’s just the warm soup! Then there’s the zing of a tangy gazpacho on a summer afternoon, the silkiness of chilled Spring pea soup and my memories watching my soup loving father’s

Nutritional Supplements: Hope? Hype? Help?

On March 4, 2016 / Fearless Fabulous You Radio Show, Nutrition and Diet

The word “wellness” may end up as the Word of the Year in 2016. The self- improvement industry is a $10 billion juggernaut, from books to products to services to make you look, feel and act better. Chefs have jumped on the bandwagon; so have many film and TV celebrities who are now “lifestyle and wellness experts.” I am the recipient of numerous pitches on how to improve your life, and I write about health and wellness regularly. It’s a topic that has been of primary importance to me all my life but even more so now as both a cancer

On Fearless Fabulous You! Feb 29- Tips for Caring for Your Aging Parent

On February 27, 2016 / Aging Gracefully, Fearless Fabulous You Radio Show, Over 50

While my usual topics are about you aging gracefully, this one will be about gracefully caring for an elderly loved one. David and I both have mothers in their 80s. We’ve discussed this between us: Who will care for our mothers? David has 2 brothers to share the responsibility. I am an only child. We both live miles away from our mothers. In a medical emergency who locally “on the ground” can assist and, in some cases, be a health care proxy until we arrive? What do we need to consider if she falls or becomes injured or ill and is
