You can find your own homeopathic doctor since the issues mentioned in this video seem to be good ideas!
I found the Chopra Center for Wellbeing which seems very well respected. I also follow Andrew Weil, MD and Neal Barnard, MD.

Le vin - Wine - Vino

Dear Family and Friends,

This article from Andrew Weil, PhD explains the benefits of drinking wine for women.  A glass of wine seems to help to control weight.  A few times a week a week  I drink a glass of wine in the evening which helps me to mellow out a little, and I fall asleep shortly after.

Love the lentils

Dear Family and Friends,

To all of us who are always worried about our belly this article from RealAge explains that walking daily and eating lentils helps to lower the infamous belly.   I usually eat lentils at least three times a week as a source of protein.  I like curry lentils, and lentils with other vegetables, and add olives, cilantro, and some hot tomato sauce.

Self-Image Boosters to Fight Depression

Taking good care of yourself — inside and out — can help boost low self-esteem and even improve your depression symptoms.

By Diana Rodriguez

Medically reviewed by Pat F. Bass III, MD, MPH

Major depression causes an overwhelming sadness, and it can change how you feel about yourself, often leading to low self-esteem and a negative self-image. During depression, you may look in the mirror and have a hard time finding anything to feel positive about.

"How a person views themselves can tip from a ‘glass half-full’ to a ‘glass half-empty’ perspective or worse," says Ian A. Cook, MD, associate professor in residence in the department of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in Los Angeles, and research scientist at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute. Along with depression symptoms that affect concentration, memory, organization, and decision-making, you may lose sight of your self-worth.
