SEPTEMBER MAGAZINES - Dr. MADELINE'S PICKS

September's magazines are good for your health.

Really.

So many people ask if I've seen this fertility article or that nutrition article, so I'm adding a regular feature:
the last week of each month I will post my picks of the 'Don't Miss' health articles in the upcoming month's magazines.
Right now I reviewed many women's magazines, but I have so many men in my practice that I hope to include men's magazines also.

We're kicking this off today, I'll refine as appropriate.

Enjoy! I've saved my readers a lot of time!

DR. MADELINE'S 'DON'T MISS' PICKS - SEPTEMBER 2007 MAGAZINES

O Magazine

1) Vitamin Wars

Take them/don't take them.... news about the conflicting antioxidant vitamin studies.

2) Stay Clear - and Safe - for Less

More dirty news about antibacterial soap.

3) Of Mice and Women

Reports on how pain research is still coming up short for women.

4) The Blood Test Women Need - and Doctor's Skip

Great information to help women become their own best health advocates.

VOGUE magazine

1) Widespread Panic by Harriet Brown
A writer shares her moving, decades-long journey of trying to co-exist with anxiety symptoms: the detours it caused in her life, and her years of searching for proper diagnosis and effective treatment.
NOTE: Too many women spend years of their lives trying to find an answer to their body's cries for help, especially in the still-evolving realm of mental health. I've seen chiropractic care calm the nervous system and many patients report improvements in mental well-being. I reported one such case in 2004, co-authoring a case study done in Idaho, follow this link for details:

The Impact of Subluxation Correction on Mental Health: Reduction of Anxiety in a Female Patient Under Chiropractic Care (http://jvsr.com/abstracts/index.asp?id=210).


Yoga Journal

1) Wrist Remedy
Do your wrists need TLC?
This article offers a great introduction to how the wrist works, and practical, holistic tips for when wrists rebel.

With step-by-step photos and instructions, chiropractor/yoga teacher Dr. Tom Alden offers "a yogic solution" to carpal tunnel syndrome.
Namaste.

Harpers Bazaar

1) Eating Diaries

The food and exercise routines of three gorgeous women (Gabrielle Reece, Amy Sedaris, and Iman) are revealed, then reviewed by a panel of health experts. I love all of it, and wonder what they are really eating, and how my routines would hold up to such scrutiny.

2) The Tests That Can Save Your Life

Yet another article about tests women should ask for.

ELLE

1) DRUGTRIAL

For women concerned about their skin, this article reports the results of a study that compiled 24 years of research on anti-depressant (SSRI) side effects and noted that "rashes, hives, and acne were among the most common issues."

MORE

1) Heart Health for Women

More magazine focuses on heart health this issue with multiple articles packed with information, and updates on the latest testing available. I devoured them all.

More magazine encourages women to become savvy about their heart health for two very heart-felt reasons:

1) More women than men die from heart attacks every year.

2) Only 8% of primary care physicians know #1.

I encourage women and men to become their own best health advocates. With the information and tools available to consumers now there has never been a better time to take care of themselves. Start here: http://drmadeline.blogspot.com/ and visit often.

Look for news about 'Dr. Madeline's Don't Miss Picks - October 2007 Magazines' during the last week of September.

Be Spine Tingling,
