​If you’re new to the concept of holistic health, let’s just say that it focuses on making the entire person well, instead of only focusing on particular health conditions and symptoms, which is mainly how conventional health works. It includes how we feel and think, our physiological bodies, and our spirituality. 

There’s been so much hoopla going on about CBD oil; in fact, this has only been eclipsed recently by the coronavirus pandemic currently happening across the entire globe and especially at home in the good old U.S. of A. When considering using any product, whether it be CBD oil, a food item, some vitamin or other type of supplement, etc., it is always a good idea to do your “due diligence.” In other words, do some research on what you are about to purchase and make sure it’s a bona fide product, and not something cheap or deceptively packaged to get you to buy their product, when it really isn’t what you should be using (for your health and more). For example, why might you need CBD oil in your makeup?!

Make Sure You’re Buying a High-Quality Product

If you want to take advantage of CBD oil and its numerous health advantages, there are some things you should do to check if it’s a good product.

​Whether you call it ADD or ADHD – the condition is the same. The older designation is attention deficit disorder (or, ADD); the current name is attention deficit hyperactive disorder (or, ADHD). The latter has three presentations as it is currently called, or subtypes: inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined. So, you or your child can have trouble paying attention, be very overly active and impulsive, or can exhibit both kinds of behavior, hopefully at different times (for your sanity)!

Did you know that as of around 2011 when data was collected, 8.1% of adults in the US between the ages of 18-44 have been diagnosed with ADHD? Nearly 10% of children (6.4 million) were also diagnosed with ADHD ages 2-17. Seen globally, about 7.2% (129 million) kids have this condition. Scary, right?!

Hold on – not all behaviors that seem to fit into this diagnostic category mean you or your child has or doesn’t have ADHD. Let’s explore some myths about ADHD.

​I don’t know about you, but I have cabin fever! I actually go to the grocery store way more than usual (and yes, they’re getting way too much of my money) just to get steps and fresh produce and be around other people. What I wouldn’t do for a nice relaxing cup of coffee inside a coffeehouse or a lunch/dinner at a lovely restaurant, being waited on. Dream on…at least for a while longer!

Whether you’re a practicing mental health professional, learning to become a professional, or just an interested and caring human being, you’ve probably heard about the psych meds that increasing numbers of people are being prescribed. In fact, it’s a regular part of conventional therapy, be it for mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and more, or for recovering individuals who have been into the drug scene. Perhaps you’re taking them yourself.

​Are you perhaps wondering about all the side effects people experience from these meds? Many of the medications have general side effects like your taste buds changing, you can’t remember things like you used to, or you are experiencing frequent urination.
