HEY SINGLE LADIES (and men) listen up! Beth Reeder Johnson tells us how to be your own Valentine when you don't have that special someone. There is nothing wrong with singleness, especially on Valentine's Day. It may feel like a day that being single gets rubbed in your face, but really it's a day to celebrate yourself and your quest to find that someone.

Okay guys....do you struggle knowing what to get your lady on V-Day? Does she say not to get her anything, and then get mad when you abide by that? Or do you go all out and feel like you're not appreciated? Or do you simply not know where to begin? Von Eaglin talks all about some secrets for you men out there on this day.

Today we talk with the Primal Mom, Amber Butcher. 5 years ago, Amber was suffering from severe post partum issues and chose to completely clean up her family’s diet, instead of medicating. Not only did her post partum issues vanish, but her and her husband dropped 70lbs, collectively, in less than 3 months… without even really trying. This became her lifestyle and the inspiration behind her blog, Primal Mom. 'Starving' your child may sound harsh, but listen to today's episode that it's all for the good of your children.

He talks to us about pain: what is causing it, where is the source, and how to fix it. A lot of times pain is a symptom not the cause, therefore we have to find the source. Daniel teaches us how to find the problem area, treat it and prevent future issues. The products he uses to treat pain vary from stretches to Prosper Wellness.

Hint: it'll help you eat healthier, lose weight, and help the planet! You will want to hear about this.

From Amazon:
"Many people sincerely believe that all vaccines are safe, adverse reactions are rare, and no peer-reviewed scientific studies exist showing that vaccines can cause harm. This book ― Miller’s Review of Critical Vaccine Studies ― provides the other side of the story which is not commonly told. It contains summaries of 400 important scientific papers to help parents and researchers enhance their understanding of vaccinations."

Bernadette and Neil Miller talk about why parents should raise an eyebrow before vaccinating. Knowledge is power, in other words, do your own research before you decide what's best for you and your children.

Every year it seems there is a new trend, for instance: 70's- bottoms, 80's- neon, 90's- crimped hair, 2000's- track suits, and 2010's it's carrying a Starbucks in one hand and vape pen in the other. What is life?!? Why are these cart based vape pens so attractive to teens and what really are the risks? With this being said, if vaping has helped your teen to put down their cigarettes, I guess that is a positive way to look at it. If you are a parent and you want your kid to quit smoking overall, but they are not having any of it, as they continue vaping, encouraging them to look into something like CBDistillery review by HerbMighty so they have the best quality product is possibly as far as you can get, until they decide to quit. If they're going to continue, at least they should have the best on the market. Plus, giving up smoking is not always easy, but making the transition from a cigarette to a vaping device is a start.

Dr. Mike McFarland, Ph.D., is our in-house licensed psychologist. He breaks down this new trend in teens and how parents can best support their kids if they are regularly vaping and their browser history is predominantly filled with sites like Oji Vape and Snoop Dog music.
