Dissecting the Antivaxxer
I was almost one of them. I was young and impressionable, in the age of instant information. As a young American with no family, I was poor and desperate, bitter about the health industry, and too poor to get treatment when I needed it. My saving grace was my interest in science and strong reading comprehension.

Aging in Style—5 Considerations
Old age is something that will happen to us all – if we’re lucky. There’s nothing sad or bizarre about this kind of thinking. After all, old age is beautiful as it literally represents a life lived. However, even though you may still be far from old age, it’s important to prepare yourself for the time when you won’t be as young anymore.

Choosing the Right Dentist for Your Family’s Oral Hygiene
If you are anything like the statistical average American, your family likely doesn’t see the dentist as often as you would like them to. We overwhelmingly—at a staggering 85 percent—believe oral hygiene is "very or extremely important," and yet, over 40 percent don’t see the dentist often enough. A whole host of reasons could be preventing you from booking your next appointment—anything from simple forgetfulness to the overall skyrocketing costs of healthcare. However, a clean smile has long been associated with heart health, especially in older patients and is an essential part of your overall wellbeing.

Body Image
What is your first memory of yourself? Let's go back in time for a moment, to the first time you remember, for whatever reason, disliking something about your body?

Unlike myself, most girls here were developing already. I felt invisible.
