HOW WE ASSIST EACH OTHER’S HEALING
I have mused recently how over the past twenty years as a gynecologist I have impacted on my patients’ ability to improve the quality of their lives. And what has become glaringly apparent are the following acknowledgments: • We do not heal until we are ready • After making course corrections on the way we manage our physical body, we need to concede that EVERYTHING that happens to our physical body bubbles up from our soul • This simply means that our behavior, our words, our very thoughts—that which we continue to tell ourselves about who we are-- impacts our health.

10 Health Tips for Women to Start the New Year Right
1. Drink lemon water, preferably warm, to alkalinize body's ph and cleanse the liver. 2. Eat frequent small meals during the day with ample vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, fish, and leave 3 hrs after last small meal before sleeping. 3. Plan to sleep 7-8 hrs without any lights on (including LED clocks) because we need the protection of melatonin production by the pineal gland in the brain and it only is made in complete darkness 4. Work hard with passion, and play equally hard with passion.

Breast Health
I must go on record about my feelings regarding mammography. I was a card-carrying believe in the benefits of mammography until recently when a quirky realization hit my squarely in the face: the mammogram results in no way assist us with prevention, do they? We may be able to diagnose breast cancer earlier, but it is still there. So many patients are sent back repeatedly for additional views and six month follow-ups for “stability” of a finding, that I am seriously conce ed about the radiation we are exposing our breasts to year after year.

Food as Medicine
The word to describe food used for medicinal purposes is a rather catchy one: neutraceuticals. Although all the foods listed below are available in your supermarkets or health food store, without even stepping foot into them, you are already partaking in the food’s benefits. That’s because being mindful is the first stage of evolving to the best that you can be.

Nightmare on NutraStreet
Back in 1965, a chemist working for the G.D. Searle Company accidentally discovered aspartame while testing an anti-ulcer drug. By 1983 it was approved by the FDA as an additive – an artificial sweetener trademarked as NutraSweet – to carbonated beverages, despite objections from many scientific investigators.

Acceptance
I’ll call her Ann. I was forty minutes late for her appointment, and she launched into me like a Tommy gun, reminding me that her time as just as valuable as mine, and that she needed to be at work for an evaluation in twenty minutes. This followed a tirade of unpleasant remarks to any staff within earshot. There were no bonding smiles, only a lot of pain and anger.

Menopause as Spiritual Renaissance
Do you know the marvelous work by Clarissa Pinkola Estes called Women Who Run With the Wolves? If you read the Bluebeard story, you will get a picture of me. I was a chief resident when I met my soon-to-be third husband, the Robert Redford look-alike with a CV from here to Mars, who wined, dined and pursued me relentlessly until I gave up and married him, knowing that it was destined to be a deadly mismatch. I lost my identity, and all my joy and spontaneity, which had so attracted me to him, slid into oblivion, as I catapulted deeper and deeper into the abyss of depression.

Self-Love: The Overlooked Component for Healthy Living
I constantly am reminding my patients of one of the most important commandments: Love thy neighbor as thyself. Why “to love thyself” is such a hard concept is beyond me, but we have all bought into “do for others –first.” We allow a most insidiously pathological emotion called guilt to guide our actions. Societal pressures compound this guilt. What we must press into our databanks is that if we cannot love ourselves, we cannot love another. Period.

Sexuality 101
Sexuality is a complex subject. When I lecture about it, I often reference Margo Anand, who wrote The Art of Sexual Ecstasy in 1989, a book that sheds much light on the subject of orgasm, that much sought after, dreamed about, schemed for phenomenon that sadly about 20 percent of women have never experienced. The big “O” is the talk in women’s gatherings, in locker rooms, and upon therapists’ couches.

Take Charge of Your Health
Whenever something that has been etched in granite is threatened by a new trend or force, we become uneasy. We strive hard to maintain the status quo. Our familiarity gene feels comfortable with routine, a knowingness that our expectations will be met. There’s nothing more threatening to the human mind than no longer feeling in charge.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Helene Leonetti MD
"There is a lot right within the conventional medical community, and there is a lot wrong too. One has only to look at how we doctors are trained, and that should be enough to raise eyebrows about our ultimate wisdom. During our medical and ensuing intern and resident years, we are deprived of the sleep required to adequately carry out our complex duties. And what does the medical establishment do about it? Nothing. It takes the legislature to pass a law requiring residents not to work over a certain number of hours without rest, so that the patients they serve will be protected from our mishaps, misdiagnoses, and mistreatments.
We are taught nothing about healthy foods, subsist on empty nutrition, high caffeine, and sugar diets that ultimately burn out our adrenal glands and lower our immune states. We go from those long hours in the trenches home to study and then to bed, so that we rarely exercise, relax, have fun or smell the roses. Then we are expected to be sensitive, loving and caring with our patients when we have taken no time at all to nurture ourselves. Who has all the wisdom?
I have finally seen the light and now I am shining it like a beacon to my soul sisters who need nurturing, healing and reminders that they are indeed magnificent. My belief is that our birthright is perfect health."
