Will Taking A Collagen Supplement Really Transform My Skin?

May 14, 2017 by debbiedavis

As mbg’s associate health editor, Gretchen has become the go-to person for any (and every) health question in our office.

March 7, 2017 by debbiedavis

Without even seeing you in my office, I can accurately diagnose one thing: You’re stressed. The truth is we all are.

In today’s always-on world, we are faced with tremendous demands that our bodies have not evolved fast enough to handle.
