OK, so eating fruits and vegetables really matters. Believe me, I know. When my medical team told me they thought I would not live to see my grandchildren grow up, everything changed ..... including my kitchen. Don't wait any longer. Take control of your health, your vitality and help strengthen your immune system. As I was fighting for my life, embracing new lifestyle patterns and [...]
We often put a lot of thought into doing things regularly to boost our immune systems. We know the necessary items that need to be present in our diet and lives to achieve this, and we boost them even more during cold and flu season. There's another issue we all deal with that can be combated with proactive habits -- anxiety and overwhelm. I [...]
I LOVE AVOCADOS!!!! REALLY LOVE AVOCADOS!!!! As someone who has beaten Stage IV Cancer, without traditional protocols, I am very much aware of what I eat. I have this concept of my Must Haves list. It is a foundation of being aware and prepared. My clients begin to embrace this from the beginning of our time together. Some of the side benefits on bringing these [...]
When I was fighting fo my life, beating Stage 4 Cancer, I thought I had been eating healthy... until I learned I was not. The modern“Standard American Diet” is highly acidic and does not contain the nutrition you need Most people don't realize that most people don't realize that their cells are starving. When your cells are starving, your body is in crisis mode and [...]
You know meal-prepping will save you time (and money) in the long-run, but you just can't get yourself to spend any more time in the kitchen than you already do. I completely understand, and it takes time to find the hacks that work best for your unique schedule and lifestyle. The more I speak with women, in groups and one on one, it becomes easy [...]
Oh no, I blew it AGAIN ... I caved and I cheated!!!! I just cannot get this diet thing under control. So often I hear this from people who are feeling like they are on a yo-yo. This self talk breaks my heart. Interestingly, many begin the new year, following holiday festivities, feeling this way about themselves. Not on my watch! There’s nothing better [...]
Are you ready for another year? The upcoming year is especially exciting because we're about to embark on a journey into a brand new decade! OH NO, NOT ANOTHER LIST!!!! Personally, I do not make New Year Resolutions. They feel like I am scolding myself and highlighting the things I did wrong and failed in. That is no way to talk to yourself. I certainly [...]
Connections with others is important on so many levels. Without them we experience loneliness and isolation. Not good for anyone. Summer gatherings with friends and family are a wonderful way to engage and stay connected. A perfect time to disconnect from the fast paced life we lead. Sometimes, before we even realize it, days and / or weeks have flown by. As someone who has [...]
Gratitude has almost become a fad. While I am thrilled there is more conversation around this important action, I just want to take a moment to say I hope it is more than a passing phase for you. As someone who has stared down a grave diagnosis, I just might be the most grateful person ever. We all face difficult situations, it is part of [...]
FREQUENTLY I hear that staying on track and making healthy choices consistently is just to overwhelming due to our crazy schedules. Somehow, crazy has become the new normal and this often leads to lowering our personal standards. Now that is crazy! Daily workouts and healthy eating can be quite challenging to fit into a busy schedule. Often, this causes us to throw our hands up [...]
