As previously discussed, the Red Cross took quite the hit earlier on in the pandemic. Due to concern of COVID exposure, blood drives and other donation-focused events were forced to cancel. This has had devastating consequences for the relief agency and the patients who rely on blood donations in order to survive.

But, don’t let that sway you from being proactive in your hydration! Up that water intake, because these are the benefits drinking water has ...

Summer’s just around the corner. And you know what that means… The sunshine is on its way! But before you soak up the sun, Dennis Stolpner reminds you to protect your skin from UV rays — starting with your skincare routine!

The sun can caus...

Dennis Stolpner believes in approaching anti-aging not with a mindset of cosmetics, but with a perspective focused on skin that’s healthy for the long term.
If you have a skincare routine that works for you in terms of keeping your skin healthy — then you’re already onto a good start! Again, at the base level,...

According to a study recently released by Los Angeles based Revitalizing Anti-Aging Centers, the pandemic may be accelerating symptoms and signs of aging.

It’s a known fact that stress can speed up the aging process exponentially. The way we e...

Every Monday in Oklahoma, the American Red Cross, Langston University and ONEOK are hosting Sickle Cell Awareness blood drives. Dennis Stolpner explains why the initiative is in desperate need of donor diversity:
