Are you a fan of pistachios? If so, eat up! Lower calories than most nuts, high fiber, low in fats, high in antioxidants and the best part… it is the “go to” nut for weight loss! Make sure that you get the pistachios in the shell though. Because you have to sit there and remove them from the shell, you eat them much slower. If you have almonds, peanuts or cashews, it is so much easier to eat by the handful. But these have their own built in portion control!

There is a massive opioid crisis in the U.S. and it is only getting worse. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if hospitals in MD followed this hospital’s lead in offering acupuncture in the ER? The pain medication is short acting, highly addictive and only masks the pain. Acupuncture helps heal the problem area and releases chemicals naturally produced in the body that are sometimes more powerful than morphine.

Last week, the FDA recommended that physicians educate themselves about the benefits of acupuncture over opioid medications.

This is huge for the acupuncture community and we hope that more insurances (Medicare, private insurances, etc) will start offering a benefit to their customers.
