40 Million Americans Have It? Do You? Yup, about 40 million of us, or 19% of the United States population, suffer from anxiety.* Are you one of them? I am! In fact, most of my clients come in telling me they have been diagnosed (or have self-diagnosed) with anxiety disorder. Many, like myself, take some sort of prescriptive medicine to help them live with their anxiety. If there is an epidemic, I would declare anxiety as an epidemic. It doesn’t even seem to matter your age as it … [Read more...] about 40 Million Americans Have It

Offering Us Wisdom In my last blog post, https://wiseheartcoaching.com/epigenetics/, I wrote about epigenetics. Since then, I have been studying more on this important topic and feel it is often the key to much of the pain that causes us to suffer.
