By Donnie Yance – At its highest expression, music acts as a purifying bath for the soul. It engages the whole person—mind, body, emotions, and spirit—reorienting our awareness toward harmony, wholeness, and the Divine. Coltrane understood this at the deepest possible level.
By Erik Peper – Almost everyone can mentally picture their illness or stress, their healing process, and what it feels like to be healthy and whole. After practicing their personalized imagery, many report that their pain and symptoms have noticeably decreased.
By Gary Null, PhD, and Richard Gale – Do we have something to look forward to each morning, or do we carry an undiagnosed, existential dread that we’ve only now stopped long enough to notice? Have we been on the wrong path—living someone else’s life, according to someone else’s expectations, in obedience to an obligation we never chose?
By Faezeh Sharif, MSc – Multi-component mind–body interventions — combining laughter yoga, diaphragmatic and slow breathing, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), self-compassion practice, guided imagery, self-massage, and deep relaxation (Shavasana) — are increasingly offered in complementary and integrative health settings.
By Gary Null, PhD – The average American now spends most of the day’s free hours on a screen, and the newest ritual has a name the dictionaries have already accepted: doomscrolling —
By Erik Peper, PhD, BCB, Stoyan Vezenkov, PhD, Violeta Manolovab, Lauren Mason, PhD and Richard Harvey, PhD – The empirical record on educational technology in early and primary education has not delivered on its promises—math and reading scores have declined while screen use in classrooms has risen, as the US NAEP data and Sweden’s recent reversal of its “digital-first” education policy make plain.
By Joy Reuther-Costa – When people lose teeth, the consequences extend far beyond appearance. The ability to chew food properly affects digestion, nutrition, systemic health, mental health, and quality of life. Treating dental care as optional medicine ignores the fundamental role that teeth play in human health.
By Alan R. Gaby, MD – From eggs and Alzheimer’s risk to iodine during pregnancy, bromelain after dental surgery, and tomatoes for fatty liver, this collection explores intriguing connections between nutrition and health. We also examine questions surrounding CoQ10 for depression, sex-specific responses to iron therapy, goat milk formula and eczema, and celiac disease in unexplained cirrhosis.
by Gary Null, PhD – How many times have we gone against the current of our own being? You know you should do A, but you are conditioned to do B.
You are fighting it because the conditioned self is conditioned from a place of fear. And fear will always win if we give in to it.
by Gary Null, PhD – Embrace your passion. Not the curated, hashtagged, algorithmically optimized version, but the real thing. The messy, inconvenient, time-consuming, occasionally embarrassing, deeply human thing that makes you forget to check your phone, and makes three hours feel like 20 minutes.
by Volodymyr Zhnakin – Improving family well-being does not require a complete lifestyle overhaul. It simply requires intentional organization. By treating the home as a system that needs clear routines and simple structure, families can lower stress and daily friction, and build stronger relationships.
by Gary Null, PhD – What do we normally use to overcome obstacles? Fear, anger, uncertainty, envy, jealousy. Think of how many times you have been motivated by jealousy.
What if, instead, you simply had love? Do you know what love can do to a problem? It transforms your reaction to it. Love guides you to reframe events and to give the benefit of the doubt to yourself and to others.
Review by Patricia S. Lemer, MEd. LPC – Plant, animal, and human biology use electromagnetic radiation as light to survive, through photosynthesis, circadian rhythms, and the production of life-sustaining substances such as melatonin and Vitamin D. An over-abundance of ionizing radiation from higher frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum causes well-known changes to skin.
by Gary Null, PhD – In order to grow you must put an end to distractions and learn to focus. You have to be conscious in the moment, and then you have to create balance in that moment. The only way to get healthy and conquer self-sabotage is to figure out where you have allowed imbalance into your lives.
By Jacob Teitelbaum, MD – Physicians are usually pretty good at diagnosing nerve pain and its triggers. Still, it’s a good idea to be sure that your doctor has looked for the treatable causes.
The medical history should be assessed for excess alcohol use, vitamin deficiencies, hereditary factors, or treatment with medications that can cause nerve injury. A neurological examination and a nerve conduction study may also give an indication of the cause.
by Diana Crumpler – Nystagmus is a condition of involuntary eye movements that prevent focus. It may be either congenital or acquired in adulthood. The condition is further subdivided according to whether the eye movements are horizontal, vertical or rotary. It is not primarily an eye problem but rather one of the central nervous system.
By Erik Peper, PhD – When clients learn to combine biofeedback with other strategies to make it their own such as slower, more coherent breathing, guided imagery, shifts in internal dialogue, and practical lifestyle changes, something important happens: the body begins to reorganize itself toward health.
by Gary Null, PhD – With this acceptance of yourself and others, conflict can dissolve and you can be in balance. Where there is balance, there is harmony. And where there is harmony, there is bliss. In bliss, there is no need to sublimate. When you are not sublimating, then there is no destructive behavior leading to addictions.
It has proven to be difficult, if not impossible, to proceed to full-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for most of the natural methods that cannot be patented or otherwise monopolized.
By addressing food sensitivities through targeted testing and personalized dietary interventions, individuals can take a significant step toward reducing inflammation, improving gut health, and enhancing overall well-being.
As the producer of The Moss Report, the year leading up to the Covid-19 pandemic was filled with anticipation and excitement. We had invested years of hard work and significant resources into two major projects: our feature film, Immunotherapy: The Battle Within, and...

Menopause Care in the Longevity Era Longevity medicine is everywhere right now. Supplements, protocols, influencer clinics, patients walking in with questions about interventions their doctors have never heard of. What's missing from most of it is the evidence. The Midlife Women's Health Summit is three days on what the research actually says about menopause care when you add a longevity lens. What works, what doesn't, what's being oversold, and what to tell the patient sitting in front of you. Co-chaired by Lisa Larkin, MD, FACP, MSCP, IF, Jen Gunter, MD, FRCS(C), FACOG, DABPM, ABPMR, and Lauren Streicher, MD, FACOG, MSCP; three of the clearest voices in women's health on separating data from marketing.
