On Wednesday night, I had the pleasure of interviewing Devon White, hypnotist, consultant, and coach. Devon and I spoke about the emotional aspects of living with a chronic illness, and he addressed many of the issues, concerns, and questions sent in by listeners.

Dr. Mark Hyman is my kinda guy. I love that he’s willing to stand outside the paradigm of Western Medicine and say “Hey, here’s another way, and it’s a way that’s working.” He recently published a post on his blog UltraWellness about why the current thinking on autism is wrong. He says: “The real...
