Why you’re not losing weight…and how to change that

Why you’re not losing weight…and how to change that

I talk to a lot of women between the ages of 40 and 65+, and the most common complaint I hear is, “I’ve tried everything, but I can’t seem to lose weight!” I have a few questions about that.  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

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?

Got high blood pressure? This is worse than salt!

Got high blood pressure? This is worse than salt!

An interesting phenomenon occurs once a statement is repeated over and over and over again. It’s believed to be true, even when that’s not necessarily the case! Take cigarettes, for example.  For years the tobacco industry paid enough people off to repeatedly deny that smoking causes lung cancer. Until the evidence was undeniable, that is. Well, another example of this in action is the contention that salt causes high blood pressure.  Because that’s not entirely...

Your better health is just 3 steps away!

Your better health is just 3 steps away!

  August is National Wellness Month. Our local baseball team was in the spirit, and invited me to exhibit at their “Health and Wellness Day” event yesterday.  But based upon what I observed, it looked like lots of people didn’t get the memo. Now, don’t get me wrong—I’m not a party pooper.  When you’re at an event like that, it’s fun to indulge in a hot dog, popcorn, pizza or whatever your favorite stadium food...

What’s causing your BO and how to curb the stink

What’s causing your BO and how to curb the stink

Our fears of spiders, snakes and public speaking don’t even come close to our fear of smelling bad. Just look at the L-O-N-G aisles in the stores devoted to soaps, body washes, shampoos, lotions and deodorants.  In 2018 people in the US spent nearly $90 billion on personal and beauty care products! While those products may temporarily help cover up body odor, alas, unless you address the underlying causes of your stink, it will return....
