According to the National Centers for Biotechnology Information, around 70 million Americans experience sleep disruption. Thousands of people cannot sleep properly due to insomnia in our country during the pandemic. Dr. Sam Friedlander, who is practicing at the University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, commented, “We are going through an unprecedented time where there is so much stress affecting people. I have been seeing a lot of sleep problems.”
Nobody can quite put their finger on exactly why it is happening, but anxiety-related disorders have seen a massive increase in the last few years. This phenomenon is a global one which has led to a burgeoning interest into the best anti-anxiety drugs and mindfulness meditation techniques.
DetailsDid you know that 50 – 80 million Americans suffer from some type of sleep disorder? Are you one of them?… I certainly am.
Sleep is so important to me, not only for beauty 😊, but our immune system, how well we feel, our ability to function, both physically and mentally.
Last weekend, I was in the mountains celebrating a 3-day holiday. I had been looking forward to this weekend and selfishly hoped it would be more than I imagined, since summer had gone too fast and the year continues to be challenging. Unfortunately, the weekend lived up to 2020, keeping in step with the year to date. Imagine my surprise when, in less than 24 hours, it was over! Unknown to us, the Creek Fires and their surrounding acres were in imminent danger and we were asked to evacuate. The Creek Fires are still burning; with over 170K+ acres effected and currently zero containment.
Hurricanes, floods, tornados, snow in September?
Then there are the Fires….

Cannabis combined with blood thinning medications has become an increasing concern as Medical and Adult-Use cannabis are being legalized across the country. The fastest growing groups of Cannabis users are those 60+ years old.
DetailsThis last week was filled with the announcement of three very informative and entertaining podcasts. We began with Medical Director, Chintu Sharma MD, discussing his COVID experiences and recommendations for potentially containing this virus. Dr. Sharma was followed by Dustin Sulak DO, as he provided an educational discussion about cannabis and the benefits this plant brings as it keeps our bodies in balance.
DetailsIn the past three editorials, I have discussed “breathing and smelling the roses”, hope and stress. I have been surprised to receive an occasional question as to the seriousness of my tone, if I know stress is awful, (yes I do!); and another that I downplayed masks since anyone can “smell the roses” through them.
DetailsMany patients have heard that cannabis can help navigate the side effects of chemotherapy. Most hear from friends or relatives that it can help. They are willing to try almost anything to help deal with the nausea, pain, and insomnia. But patients who are already immuno-compromised and going through chemo have a lot of questions. And their doctors seem to have more questions than answers themselves.
DetailsWhat a week it’s been…
I don’t know about you, but it seems like everywhere you go these days everyone’s angry and/or stressed out about one thing or another.
I’m witnessing yelling in cars, stores, even outside as people are getting some fresh air.
