Freeze Away Fat?
My experience with Cool Sculpting for love handles: This year I have changed my lifestyle dramatically. I have started going to the gym 3 days a week, a dance class 1 day a week, sitting in the sauna 3 days a week, drinking lots more water, and eating healthier (smaller portions, more veggies, less carbs, calorie counting). Yet despite all my hard work, I could not get my love handles to go away! I saw my legs, arms, and stomach getting toned and the number on the scale going down, but my problem area (love handles) just wouldn't budge.

Ham and Eggs Are Health Foods
I have been a Californian and a hippy for almost 30 years, and a holistic health practitioner for ten years, which means I have heard about so many different competing diets and healthy eating plans it makes me want to scream, cry, and just give up trying to figure out who is right. People automatically assume because I am a natural health practitioner that I am a vegan, and add on top of that I am a queer woman in a lesbian relationship, and then the stereotypes of lesbian=vegan get even worse.

Living with Epilepsy: How It Changed My Life: Part 1
I've come a long way since my first encounter with something I would have to live with for the rest of my life. I was a normal child that enjoyed everything that every child would. Playing outside in the mud, with toys, or even playing with other children that you would meet in the park during the day. I made lots of friends in school and did the best I could to get the highest grades possible. I wanted to grow up and do the best I could in life. I wanted to go to college and earn a degree in my dream job in the field of engineering. I wanted to show my parents the potential I had to achieve whatever I set my mind to.
