Obama ’s Foreign Policy Is Linked to a Healthy, Restrained Immune System
With 58% of Americans disapproving of Obama’s foreign policy, mounting Ebola virus deaths, and flu season around the corner, I think it is important to synthesize an overlapping theme between how our country fights perceived threats, and how our bodies successfully or unsuccessfully fight disease. In short, I think Obama’s continued restraint and use of […] The post Obama’s Foreign Policy Is Linked to a Healthy, Restrained Immune System appeared first on The Examining Room of Dr. Charles.

If You Don ’t Look For It, You Will Miss It
Death leaves an invisible silence, a wrenching disappearance of love’s voice and presence.

The Inherent Badness of Refinement
I had an interesting conversation with a psychologist friend of mine who specializes in treating sexual addictions. She did not tell me anything interesting in terms of specific cases, practices, or titillating bedroom details, but rather piqued my awareness of the brave new world of dating and casual sex as facilitated by apps like Tinder.

Banning Trans-Fatty Acids in Restaurants Saves Lives, Improves Mouth-Feel

The Self-Defeating Logic of Gym Memberships
I belong to a local gym. I’m supposed to go there to exercise. I pay $40 a month for the privilege, but I would estimate that I actually get to the gym twice a month.

By equating exercise […] The post The Self-Defeating Logic of Gym Memberships appeared first on The Examining Room of Dr. Charles.
