Does this sound like you too?
I’d like to bring you into my world for a few moments here and see if what I’m describing sounds like you. Below I’ll give you a summary of a client consultation I recently had because stories like hers are sadly becoming the norm in our society. Not that everyone I see has exactly the same concerns and illnesses, but there is a definite pattern of not one but several conditions, multiple medications and...

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...

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...
Rates of this disease are exploding—but no one’s talking about it!
I just did a search on the CDC’s website for disease statistics and noticed a huge gaping hole in their disease statistic reporting. As you would expect, heart disease continues to claim its top spot on the mortality chart, with about 650,000 deaths in 2017 (the most recent data year). Cancer remains number two, with 600,000 deaths. The list continues with accidents at 170,000 and lower respiratory diseases causing 160,000 deaths. But there is another...
