A little something about you, the author. Nothing lengthy, just an overview.

Here’s an intriguing little gadget that is Mom-inspired and Mom-invented… it’s the Carseat Companion. The product is basically an oblong, generously sized mirror on a flexible plastic base with foam padding. It makes it possible for a parent to see what’s going on with baby in the back seat of the car while driving.

Autor Ryan | 29.03.2012 | Category Conditions and Diseases
Despite the fact that there is no definitive explanation for what causes migraine, experts do know that migraine can be set off by “triggers.” Such triggers can vary from one person to another, and may include stress, certain foods or drinks, and, in women, fluctuations in hormone levels with the menstrual cycle.

“Having a food allergy can be very confusing,” she said, adding that many people wrongly think that having a wheat allergy is the same as having celiac disease. Although the two conditions have similar symptoms, people with celiac disease, also called celiac sprue, are allergic to more than just wheat. They are also allergic to the protein gluten, which is found in wheat, oats, barley millet, rye and other grains.

Want a baked potato for breakfast?
It’s the morning meal of choice for many people with wheat allergies, who can’t eat bagels, bread, muffins, pancakes or cereal, among countless other foods made with wheat flour.
Hormone Replacement Therapy for Perimenopause
Autor Ryan | 20.02.2012 | Category Woman's Health
Often, patients are surprised when I explain that hormone replacement therapy typically contains lower dosages of estrogen and progestin (synthetic progesterone) than does oral contraception. A typical dose of standard hormone replacement therapy is 0.625 milligrams of conjugated equine estrogen taken orally, which is equivalent to 0.05 milligrams 17 B-estradiol patch or 5 milligrams ethinyl estradiol taken orally. In comparison, a very low-dose oral contraceptive contains 20 milligrams of ethinyl estradiol, or four times that found in a typical standard hormone replacement dose given to a post-menopausal woman.
Meet Dr. Joshua A. Copel
Autor Ryan | 07.02.2012 | Category Preventative Medicine
Dr. Joshua A. Copel entered Tufts Medical School in 1975 thinking he’d like to become a psychiatrist. But after experiencing the exhilaration of delivering babies, he knew he’d be happier in obstetrics and gynecology. However, in the feminist atmosphere of Boston in the ’70s, a man going into obstetrics was not considered politically correct.
Health Clubs Assuming their Rightful Place
Autor Ryan | 03.02.2012 | Category Health
As a result of the current restrictions on healthcare, consumers have begun to assume responsibility for their own health by taking preventive measures through exercise and alternative care options. However, the lack of both know-how and confidence to make health-related decisions has created a demand for leadership in this area. This is where health clubs enter.

Autor Ryan | 01.12.2011 | Category Men's Health
Prostate cancer usually grows slowly. Therefore, most older men with prostate cancer do not die any sooner than men without prostate cancer. They generally die from other health problems before their prostate cancer can kill them.

Generalized Anxiety Disorders
Autor Ryan | 17.11.2011 | Category Psychlogical Issues
It is normal to feel worried or anxious before taking a big test, after losing your job, and during other stressful times in your life. But when intense feelings of anxiety, tension, or dread emerge in the face of ordinary problems or routine situations–and those feelings continue for six months or longer–you may be suffering from generalized anxiety disorder, or GAD.
