Healthy relationships are essential to our physical and mental well-being, as they provide social support, reduce stress, and help us feel valued. A healthy relationship may look different for each person, but most healthy relationships share common characteristics.
A healthy relationship is one that makes both parties feel good. A healthy relationship is equal – not one-sided.
A healthy relationship is respectful – mutually respectful. A healthy relationship is honest – open communication.
A healthy relationship is loving – affection and caring for each other.
A healthy relationship is safe – healthy boundaries.
In my practice, as I have helped and coached patients through bettering their health, I find that most people share a common belief. When it comes to the subject of their health and symptoms, my patients expect me to talk about their diet, physical activity, mental health, medications, and other similar subjects. And I do….

It’s time to get real about dating. Getting back on the dating horse was something that I had to do after my divorce. And dating is always a hot topic no matter what age or stage you are in. Before I go any further, let me be clear. What I am about to discuss is…
Eat your vegetables and fruits, get seven to nine hours of sleep, don’t smoke, walk 30 minutes a day, stand more, stress less, be more mindful. It can be quite an undertaking to arrange and maintain a schedule that promotes health and longevity. And interestingly, the one activity you may not be placing high enough…
If there was a piece of advice that I could pass along as a relationship coach/writer, it would be simply this: “Appreciate what you have.” Just four little words to live by. Simple. This is by no means a lecture, a judgment call, or anything like that. It is a choice — a way to…
