The American Psychological Association recently released the results of a survey on teens and stress. The findings showed that teens are more stressed than adults. Many struggle to manage their responsibilities, they feel out of control, and are not coping well. Joining me today to discuss this issue is Donna Golob, Executive Director of A Positive Approach to Teen Health. Each year, PATH provides the American Teens in Crisis conference and this year’s theme is Teens Under Stress, which will be held on Tuesday, April 15, 2014.

We love falling in love! We get that spark when we first meet someone and then get excited just thinking about them. Naturally, we want to be together as much as possible . . . we’re in love! Like many people, we date, fall in love, get married, and have a family (not always in that order, of course) but you get the idea. So how is it that, years later, some couples get to the point where they cannot stand to even be in the same room together? How do we go from wanting to spend every waking moment together to despising it? Joining me today is Jackie Gasparovic, LCSW, discussing with me what might be happening and offering some great suggestions on how to bring that spark back in your relationship.

In our current, traditional approach to healing, when we feel sick we go to the doctor and usually get a prescription. We have come to believe that this is the best way to deal with any type of suffering.

Today’s guest, Brittney Kara, shares insight she has gained as a result of years of research and her own efforts to lead a healthier life for herself and her family. Brittney is a nutritionist and author of the book, The Silent Scandal: Stop the Toxic Attack on our Bodies.

We experience thousands of smells and tastes every day. Some are pleasurable as we bask in the sweet aromas while others are more pungent, causing us to pull away. Either way, the ability to smell and taste brings us closer to our loved ones and the world. We also know that smell and taste is directly linked to our memories. In fact, just a hint of something can generate a flood of emotions, both good or bad.
