Read MoreDr. Sara's Book Club #2: Joshua Safran’s Free Spirit Will Make You Love Reading Again
I spend most of my time writing about what to eat, and how to move, and why deep breathing is so important. I want everyone to have the information they need to balance their hormones and live long, juicy, joyful lives. Today I want to share something a little different with you; it’s one of…
Read MoreBitch Slap Values That No Longer Serve
“Bitch slap” sounds violent, not a word a mom should use. So, of course, it’s just my type of word.

Modern because it’s low…
Read MoreWhat If… Breast Cancer? Dr. Sara's Top 10 List of How to Reduce Your Risk
With every mammogram I get, I think about what I would do if diagnosed with breast cancer. First, I’d wig. Then I’d get all empowered and put on my big girl face, and get down to business. It’s timely to chat about this because the National Cancer Institute just announced that there will be a…

I chatted with Dr. Helayne Waldman, EdD, a professor at Bauman College of Holistic Nutrition and author of an upcoming book on Breast Cancer Prevention, publish date January, 2012.
