10 warning signs you shouldn’t ignore
I would suspect that most people don’t wish to overreact to every little ache, pain and symptom that may pop up and instead try to “wait it out” and hope that the issue resolves itself. But there are certain signals your body may be giving you that you definitely should not ignore. Although some of the possible causes behind these symptoms can be relatively minor, they may also mean something more serious that should...
A sneaky factor behind our obesity explosion
Here’s an eye-opening statistic--currently, nearly eight out of 10 Americans are overweight or obese. And those numbers are not going down. Of course, the begging question here is: What in the world is going on? Why is it our “new normal” to be overweight? Well, there are a lot of factors behind the scenes, including processed/fast foods, lack of exercise, exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, chronic stress and the resulting elevated cortisol levels, and our...

Important announcement regarding office hours at the end Please DO NOT skip If you’ve been reading my blogs for a while you probably know that I can be considered a “fitness nut” LOL. And there’s a good reason for that! I have worked out my entire adult life and I cannot stress enough the incredible health benefits from my exercise habits—including normal blood pressure, easily maintaining my weight, sound sleep, combatting stress and high...
Are these really just “a bunch of crap”?
*Important general office-hours announcement at the end - Please read through* I once had a client who told me that when she mentioned to her doctor that she was taking a multi-vitamin, he basically scolded her and said she “doesn’t need that crap.” Interesting perspective. Not only are vitamins NOT a bunch of crap, but our need for non-food sources of nutrients has continued to expand. At one time (several decades ago) people who had...
