Attention ladies: My top 6 tips for women’s health
I have been told by a fair number of people that I’m very approachable and relatable, and I’m happy to hear that’s how I come across. As such, people seem to feel very comfortable talking to me one on one about their personal health concerns, and I’m happy to share my thoughts.

Can we get close and personal today?
I’ve been in the health and nutrition field for over 30 years and one thing I can say with full confidence is that people are inherently resistant to change. I can’t tell you the number of times I have consulted with a client and talked about all the wonderful health improvements they can experience… But as soon as I mention changing their diet, I get the doe in the headlights look.

Everything you’ve been told about cholesterol is false
Back when I was earning my Nutrition Master’s, one of my reading requirements was the book Deep Nutrition by Dr. Cate Shanahan. In Deep Nutrition, Dr. Shanahan tells the story of how she was taught in medical school that cholesterol causes heart disease, that a diet low in cholesterol and saturated fats was “heart healthy,” and statins were the gold standard for lowering cholesterol.

The shocking truth about prescription drug use
As I walked by the pharmacy counter in my local grocery store recently, I noticed that the line to pick up prescriptions was longer than any of the food check-out lines. That should tell you something. Now, certainly medications are needed at times, but when it gets to the point where most of us are drugged every single day, many times taking multiple medications, something is seriously wrong. And a big force behind this...
