Foods to Fight Anxiety and Stress

March 6, 2017 by Teri Sprouse

Lately, I have been hearing from many of my clients about how stressed out, anxious and overwhelmed they are feeling.  It seems that no matter what side of the political divide you live on, the contentious nature of our politics and the 24 hour news cycle has everyone feeling a little overwhelmed.  I like to […]
