An important lesson you need to learn
I pride myself on being a very compassionate, empathetic health professional, but sometimes even I get frustrated. Especially when a client says to me, “Oh, I’m too far gone.” Or, “It’s too late for me.” Because NOTHING could be farther from the truth! I’ll use last night’s Super Bowl as an example. Even if you’re not a sports fan, hear me out because this is important. The Chiefs were trailing the 49ers 20-10 well...
Are you caught up in this cycle of madness too?
Tell me, what would you think of each of these scenarios? Let’s say I put Coca-Cola in the gas tank of my car and had to have it towed and repaired. Then I kept putting MORE Coca-Cola in my gas tank over and over because after all, the mechanic can fix it. Hopefully you’d say, “Um, Sher, why don’t you just stop dumping soda in your tank to begin with?” Or let’s say I have a porch railing that is rusting, and I just slather paint on it. When the...

First of all, have you truly tried “everything?” Or do you keep going back to same old diet that failed you in the past? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is...
Type 2 diabetes—what you need to know
November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and while I think we’re all pretty aware of what diabetes is, what you need to know is that it’s spiraling out of control in the US (and many other countries). According to the CDC, as of 2017 over 100 million Americans (that’s nearly one out of three of us) has diabetes or pre-diabetes (elevated blood glucose). Between 1990 and 2013, US diabetes rates skyrocketed by an incredible 71...

Is your job jeopardizing your health?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, office and administrative support jobs make up the single largest occupational group in the US. And although most office employees think of their jobs as a way to earn a living and a step on their career path, what many don’t realize is that office jobs may also jeopardize your health!
