As many of you have pointed out to me morning sickness is a bit of a misnomer because in real life a wave of nausea or vomiting can strike pregnant women at any time of the day or night. Between 60% and 80% of pregnant women experience some nausea and vomiting although for most women […]

Several of our patients are running in today’s New York Marathon. We want you to know that we’re rooting for you all. It’s a huge achievement to train for and complete a marathon and we have been happy to support our patients in the run-up. I expect I’ll be treating some sore muscles in the […]

I have enjoyed hearing from you all about last month’s whole grain of the month, quinoa. Thank you to everyone who shared recipes. I had a lot of fun trying them out, although I have to tell you that my husband is now a little sick of quinoa. It’s definitely time to move on to […]

My recent post about 5 Healthy Ways to Start Your Day sparked some conversations in our waiting room this week. As we shared our experiences and passed on tips, some parents spoke about how they get their kids to start the day in a healthy way. My own daughter, Emma, is 17 now and my […]

I have an admission to make… at Yinova we are not paragons of virtue. Patients visiting us for the first time sometimes imagine that we will be scarily macrobiotic practitioners who will pour scorn on their efforts to take care of themselves.
