We are reopening on Friday, March 27. We closed 3/25 per the Governor's order. The Department of Health has now confirmed that we're considered an essential service under the order, so I will be seeing patients during my normal hours, with distancing and sanitation protocols in place. Please check the website at www.drbenson.com before you come in- latest information will be there if something changes. Thanks.

I have suspended non-emergency care in response to Governor Inslee's "Stay Home, Stay Safe" order. Please check my web page, www.drbenson.com for details and updates.

COVID UPDATE I will be seeing scheduled patients during my regular hours for as long as it's safe. I have antiviral protocols in place so you are highly unlikely to catch the virus at the office.

If you have any symptoms of the virus, or are in a high-risk group, please DO NOT come in for your appointment. Call 360-779-9957 and tell me you are not coming, and we'll reschedule after the crisis is over.

Stay Safe and Carry On

POULSBO — For any business, 30 years is an important milestone. And to be able to mark the success with a statewide recognition is better than a cake any day.

I just created a new page at AskAny.com. It's a new site based on the Ask Me Anything model. Check it out, and seriously- ask me anything in a post there.

Oysters Created Your Brain

"Early humans evolved in the African Rift Valley, which is near a seacoast. It's possible that whatever evolutionary spark occurred that made us human occurred here, in part due to reliable access to seafood—oysters in particular—which glutted our brains with omega-3 fatty acids and cholesterol (our brains are composed of 60% fat)."

They are also Vegetarian and Cruelty-Free (see the article)

This article says precisely what I would say if someone were to ask me "How should I eat in order to be healthy?" AND we had quite a lot of time AND I had all my research at my fingertips AND I was as articulate as these folks. I would consider it the current definitive word on how to eat, what's important and less important to healthy choices.

The latest research on how diet can influence mental health.

I found this article from Discover magazine interesting. I've perpetuated the 'conventional wisdom' about taking all your antibiotics myself. It fits our view of health as fighting a war against the bugs, but underestimates the abilities of our immune system and microbiome.

Taking a shorter course of antibiotics may be just as effective, plus do a better job at preventing antibiotic resistance.

Still not much of a Facebooker, I'm afraid, but at least a new current photo and a new website- check out www.doctorbenson.com! Dig into it, there's a lot of good information at the links, the same advice I'd give you in the office on exercise, eating, stretching and much more!
