THE TIES THAT BIND; pg. 146
Husband and wife team Michael J. Fox, 45, and Tracy Pollan, 46, talk about how Parkinson’s has changed their lives in the September issue of Ladies’ Home Journal. Fox says, “Everyone has a set of issues to deal with – whether it's worries about money or a family member in jail. So I don't have those issues, and these are the ones I do have.” While Pollan admits, “I tended to be somebody who was not only a worrier but also extremely hypochondriacal. So the last thing a hypochondriac wants to deal with is a major illness. Maybe it turned out to be the best thing, because you face your
worst fear.”
INTRODUCING: THE HEALTH BREAKTHROUGH AWARDS; pg. 200
Ladies’ Home Journal debuts its first annual Health Breakthrough Awards recognizing leading medical professionals who are making life-saving and life-enhancing discoveries with results that have significantly helped women and families. The Health Breakthrough Awards reflect Ladies’ Home Journal’s long history of health-advocacy journalism dating back more than a century. The eighteen-page feature includes profiles of seven doctors and researchers, chosen from a candidate list of nearly 100 accomplished health professionals, who specialize in ovarian cancer, digital mammograms, HIV/AIDS treatment for menopausal women and more.
“SHE JUST NEVER CAME HOME”; pg. 164
Part 1 of this two-part series details the terrifying ordeal of two parents searching for their 16-year-old daughter, Rosalie, after she went missing for eight days. Ladies’ Home Journal chronicles the emotional search for a teen runaway including calling the police and friends for clues to their daughter’s whereabouts and searching her MySpace.com profile.
FOODS THAT FIGHT STRESS; pg. 188

Chronic stress can also drain the body of nutrients required to boost energy and help you stay calm.
