Tyler, Editor | Share your story: [email protected] Dear Friends, We don’t often think about our vital organs, until something goes wrong with them. From kidney stones to urinary tract infections to gallstones – when our vital organs take a hit, we feel it all throughout our bodies. In this issue of Health&Wellness, we’ll learn about the functions of major organs such as the kidneys, the liver, the pancreas and the brain. We’ll learn how to take care of them so they operate at optimum levels, and we’ll read about some exciting transplantation possibilities. Perhaps you will put into practice some of the mindfulness tips offered by regular columnist Dr. John Patterson or decide to learn more about Chinese Medicine after reading Tara Bissell’s article. Anything you can do to keep yourself healthy and well is certainly going to enhance your quality of life. We will continue to cover timely topics and issues of importance in the field of health and wellness so that you can make informed decisions for your life and, in the words of Mr. Spock from Star Trek, “live long and prosper.” Here’s to your health, Tanya Health&Wellness is a proud product of ROCKPOINT Publishing Health&Wellness Magazine can be found in 20 central Kentucky counties and is distributed to over 90% of medical facilities, including chiroprator’s, eye doctor’s and dentist’s offices.
