Why was HHOM LLC born? Dr. Howard Friedman shares the personal and professional story behind founding Howard’s House of Medicine — a place where veterans and patients come first.

We’re living in an age where every moment is loud—news, notifications, opinions, outrage. This blog explores how constant noise distorts our thinking, weakens trust, floods the body with stress, and shows how we can recover clarity, truth, and silence.

Writing isn’t just expression — it’s medicine. Journaling calms the nervous system, lowers stress, organizes emotions, and helps the body heal. This blog explores why writing is more than a habit — it’s a quiet, powerful form of medicine.

The air in the desert was never empty—it carried dust, smoke, oil, and memory. Long after deployment, veterans are left with breathlessness, fatigue, and inflammation written into their bodies. This is the war made of air.

We are the only species that builds machines to escape silence and then fears what they might reveal. This is a reflection on awareness, extinction, and whether humanity can remember humility before it disappears.

Awareness is not something we create — it is something we conduct. This blog explores how the brain, heart, and body translate awareness into emotion, sensation, and meaning. Why do we feel? Because awareness came here to experience, to learn through joy and pain, and to remember itself through us.

We live inside invisible forces — magnetism, tides, breath — that shape our health even when we don’t notice them. This blog reveals how unseen rhythms in nature affect the heart, brain, sleep, and healing.

Even years after exposure, the body can remember — and repair. This blog explores how veterans can retrain cellular energy, restore balance, and rewrite the biology of damage.

Most people live between knowing and doing — caught in the noise of words that never walk. In this reflection, Dr. Howard Friedman explores the quiet medicine of action, where awareness becomes movement and healing begins.

Disease unfolds in silence. Dr. Howard Friedman reveals how cellular memory, time, and resilience shape the long path from exposure to diagnosis — especially for veterans.

Silence is more than peace of mind—it’s biological repair. Discover how stillness lowers cortisol, regenerates neurons, and restores the nervous system’s natural rhythm.

Every body tells a story — of pain, strength, and survival. The Body as Biography invites readers to see medicine not just as diagnosis, but as translation — reading the living text written beneath the skin.

The Vagus Nerve is the body’s quiet current of healing—linking breath, heart, and mind. Learn how activating it restores calm, connection, and inner balance.

Medicine charts the pulse, not the presence. This blog explores why consciousness—the witness within the patient—may be the most overlooked vital sign in modern medicine.

Meaning is not philosophy—it’s physiology. In this reflection, Dr. Howard Friedman, M.D., reveals how the “will to meaning” steadies both body and mind. When life feels aimless, rediscovering purpose becomes the most powerful prescription.

In medicine, ecology, and psychology, resistance vs resilience defines how we survive change. One holds the line; the other learns to rebuild it. True strength lies in knowing when to stand firm—and when to bend.

Emotional honesty isn’t conflict—it’s connection. Learn how truth spoken with empathy heals the nervous system, reduces stress hormones, and strengthens trust in relationships.

For centuries, we’ve searched for happiness like treasure. Yet true joy isn’t found—it’s remembered. Discover how biology and mindfulness lead us home.

Our stories live in the body. Unhealed narratives fuel stress, pain, and illness. When truth replaces fear, the body listens — and begins to heal.

Time does not move in a straight line — neither does healing. Veterans live across three timelines at once: the past that lingers, the present that demands, and the future that still holds promise. Time is not only medicine; it is the ground we walk as we heal.
