Why I Eat This Way: And How Much Better I Feel

By Ashli Findley One of 26-year-old Melissa Copeland’s favorite things to do is try new restaurants with her husband Jordan.

Use Caution With the Little Hearts: Ideas for Helping Your Kid’s Heart and If You Should Be Concerned

By Carrie Vittitoe Today’s Woman Goes Red for heart each year to raise awareness of how heart disease impacts women in our community. In many cases, heart disease doesn’t just pop up when a woman is in her 40s, 50s, and beyond. The habits we develop as children are the foundations that can either lead to heart disease or prevent heart disease when we are adults. Going red is really something that needs to begin in childhood. The incidence of preventable heart disease has increased over the past decade or so due in large part [...]
