Frequent migraines? Digestive issues? Can’t sleep? These and other chronic conditions are often byproducts of today’s high-velocity, high-stress lifestyle. When you visit a physician for help, you may want to see a doctor who practices functional medicine. Your experience will be quite different. You’ll complete an extensive questionnaire about the possible cause of your symptoms, such as diet, digestive patterns, sleep and stress levels, exercise, smoking and alcohol use. Your doctor will then explore any issues the health history turns up. Together, you’ll uncover what lies at the root of the problem and what you need to restore health.

Q: I see a lot of houses in Arlington County with room additions. I’m trying to decide whether it’s better to move to a larger house or renovate/add to my existing home. We like our neighborhood and would prefer to stay; however, I don’t know how to determine whether it’s cost effective to renovate. From my understanding of the process, an appraiser won’t give an estimated value until the architectural drawings are complete. But, I’m trying to avoid a situation where I pay for architectural drawings for a job that turns out to be impractical (say only 50 percent of reno costs added to value).

I had an interesting thing happen to me this weekend. My new cat has been attacking and biting me, “for no reason” and “out of the blue.” These are two statements that I always hear from dog training clients and I always insist that nothing is out of the blue or for no reason. Yet I could not apply the same reasoning to my cat. The recommendation: my cat needs more exercise. He’s bored. Of course he does!
