I laughed so hard I peed my pants. Well it doesn’t take much these days for me to pee my pants. I’ve had two kids (with very large melons, both of them), lower hormones as I slide towards menopause, and a bladder the size of a thimble. If I’m not careful I leak when I…
DetailsSo more of what we describe as “middle-aged date nights from Ottawa’s self professed sexiest couple”. Our date night adventures started when I read the survey that said the one common denominator of great marriages were that the couples went on weekly date nights. I was telling my patients to go, but wasn’t going out…
DetailsI keep talking about Vitamin D with my patients. About to be re-classified as a pro-hormone, Vitamin D is the vitamin we get from sunshine. Doctors are saying take 2,000 mg in the winter months, but some weight loss specialists are saying to take even more. Up to 4,000 mg. Now a recent study from…
DetailsDiet – that nasty four letter word. I’m trying to lose weight – again. In fact I’m always trying to lose weight because like most people, I can’t seem to find the discipline to stay the course. Or maybe it’s that I havent; found a new program that works. I lost the 160 pounds by…

However I think it’s equally (if not more) important to make sure your co-workers don’t find you online nd make a comment. Confidentiality is a big reason why more people don’t use them. Give your uncertainty when meeting someone for…
DetailsI just finished an interview with author Gretchen Rubin (the Happiness Project). It turns out she wrote a book I read a number of years ago (which may be still on some unorganized book shelf in my office- help!) called Power Money Fame Sex. Who can resist such a title? Like my favorite Robert Greene…
DetailsIt’s hard to think of the lowly onion as an aphrodisiac. But it’s a big one. The Greeks called it a “bulb” (not to be confused with garlic or edible flower bulbs). They were cooked in various ways, and eaten with “aphrodisiac salads” containing honey and sesame seeds – two other foods considered libido-boosters. During…
DetailsOkay, I’ve been sold on the benefits of drinking loads of water. What I didnt understand was the benefits of making the water warmish and adding raw lemons to the water.
