How to have younger-looking skin (without Botox)
I once spoke at a “Healthy Living” event that I will never forget because most everything I saw around me was anything BUT healthy. The exhibit hall was filled with displays of muscle-building (yet very processed) foods, drink powders (that hinted at being a substitute for a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables), fad diet shakes and pills, and most significantly…LOTS of people (mainly women) who have obviously had several Botox treatments. I’m not...

A sneaky cause of gas and bloating
I’ve been in the health field for over 30 years and if there’s one concern I’ve heard repeatedly from my clients it’s that they suffer from excessive gas and bloating! What makes this difficult is that there is a myriad of possible reasons why your gut might swell up like a pan of Jiffy Pop popcorn. These include things like gluten intolerance, celiac disease, medication side effects, inflammatory bowel disease, food allergies or lactose intolerance....

Better than Tums or Nexium for acid reflux!
If you’ve got acid reflux, heartburn, GERD or whatever you want to call it, know this: Those Tums, purple pills or whatever you’re taking on a regular basis might give you some relief from the fire in your chest in the moment, but alas, there’s trouble brewing within. Here’s what I mean—let’s look at two of the most common drug answers for reflux: [[big4]]PPIs (proton pump inhibitors—like Prilosec, Prevacid and Nexium)[[end]] PPIs “work” by...

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...

A shocking cause of low energy (and how to turn it around!)
One of the most common complaints I hear from clients is that they lack energy. This can have a domino effect on every area of your life! When your energy level is in the tanker, the quality of your work (or school work) suffers, it can have a negative impact on your relationships, and forget exercising (which in turn can pack the pounds on you)! What makes this challenge especially tricky is that the causes of low energy can run the...
