When hit with blood cancer, Multiple Myeloma turns your world upside down. There is no cure. However, they have come a long way with treatment therapies, thanks to organizations who continue to work tirelessly on research to find a cure. My husband has been going through chemotherapy treatments with MM, for over a year and a half and will need to stay the course for the rest of his life. Dana Farber has been instrumental in finding the best care for this relentless disease and finding us organizations that can offer education, guidance, and support. As a caregiver, this is so valuable and helpful, as you're not alone when you can connect with others hit by this type of cancer.

Two years ago, I was told I have severe osteoporosis, and that I am at high risk of injuring myself with a bone break or fracture. It would be best if you were careful, they said. Take this medication and you will have to live with it. That could mean not doing anything, I thought? Instead... I dealt with this information based on everything I discussed in my book. Today, I am constantly challenging myself to prove them wrong, and the benefits outweigh the risks. Keep moving and fighting and educating yourself on nutrition and exercise for healthy aging!

Today, on 9/11, Hard to believe, it's been 3 years since running my HEAL workshop. This was done pre-Covid-19, and showing the HEAL documentary along with post-screening conversations among healing practitioners and attendees, makes me wonder if we need to do this post-pandemic. PTSD is so rampant today, and acquiring this knowledge can help with stress, anxiety and unease.

I was happy to see all the colorful food choices she made, to include an array of fruits and vegetables, potatoes, and other healthy options. But then she put a large o...

Valentine's Day can be both a humble and sad day. Some of us reflect on our beautiful relationships and some are trying not to remember this day, as it brings up past emotions or current circumstances. My favorite spiritual teacher, Wayne Dyer, always puts things into perspective. Just a humble reminder that true love starts with loving yourself first. That's where the magic happens.

You No Longer Need to Fear Aging!

The authentic nutrition, lifestyle, and self-care secrets Donna Markussen imparts in "Take Command of Your Total Health" are not based simply on research and theory.

Instead, they’re based on the results Donna has achieved by living them. As a breast cancer survivor, she knows the fear of facing a frightening health diagnosis.

Donna understands how confusing it can be to navigate through our Western medical model that focuses on masking symptoms, instead of treating the whole person. And, she knows the struggle women face in making their own health and happiness a top priority.

"Take Command of Your Total Health" gives you the wisdom you need to reverse disease, gain more energy, increase your mental clarity, and nourish your mind, body and soul.
