In your evaluation results you mention "eating a balanced diet." What exactly is a balanced diet? And how much is considered a serving of meat, veggies, fruit, dairy, and bread? How many a day are you supposed to consume? 

My son plays varsity football. Lately he has started drinking big glasses of protein shakes and drinks in an effort to bulk up. He lifts, does team workouts, and runs daily, and he's not a big guy at 5' 7" 140 lbs. I worry that he is substituting these drinks for good nutrition and benefits of balanced diet, since if anything they seem to suppress his natural appetite. Should I worry? 

My son is a high school junior and involved in varsity sports. With the practice schedule, games, travel, and school work, by the end of the week he is tired and snapping at little things. The flashes of temper only appear when he's over tired and time for extra sleep seems impossible to find. He's not out of control but he's not much fun to be around by Friday night! How can I help him recognize the true cause of his lack of patience and manage better when he's so tired? 

My 12-year-old son keeps leaving for school without breakfast in the mornings. He says he isn't hungry. Lunch happens at 1:00 and he gets too hungry and gets a headache. I remind him of this but it doesn't work. What can I do? 

I am very anxious about my weight. I have gained l5 pounds in the last year. I starve and then I eat like crazy--I love cake and cookies so I avoid them until I can't stand it and then I pig out. What do you suggest? 

I get so angry with my husband that I scream at him and also at the kids. I don't know what is wrong with me. I am 55--could I be going through the "change"? I always screamed but it is much worse now. 

I have a 15 year old daughter that is gifted and talented, but she is also over weight. Her Dr. would like her to lose 50lbs over the next 4 years.  

I have been bruising real easy when I scratch my dry skin, what is causing this?...Could I be lacking iron?
