Is this why we’re so sick and overweight?

Is this why we’re so sick and overweight?

  I have an interesting quote for you today about the relationship between diet and health. Although the author says "bread" in the quote, he's really talking about food in general. See if you can guess who said it: "I know, too, that the body is affected differently by bread according to the manner in which it is prepared... The influence of each process is considerable, and each has a totally different effect from another....

Why does the media ignore these COVID facts?

Why does the media ignore these COVID facts?

  If you are a bit “seasoned” like I am, you probably remember when the “news” was actually that—reporting on important information or events taking place, with no opinions, hidden agendas or slants.  Now?  It’s a fear-inducing psychological operation carried out by very well-trained, well-groomed actors, and COVID has been their choice of topic 24/7 for the last nearly two years. But if these script readers truly cared about reporting NEWS, how about telling people...

How your diet feeds disease…or fights it

How your diet feeds disease…or fights it

  I had the distinct pleasure of being a keynote speaker for the New York Corrections and Youth Services Association’s (NYCAYSA’s) Training Symposium in beautiful Alexandria Bay, NY this past weekend.  Many thanks to everyone there because you were a wonderful audience.  You were attentive, you asked great questions and you even laughed at my silly jokes. Since my presentation went over so well with the NYCAYSA group, I thought I would share highlights of...

I have a secret to tell you

  I have a little secret to share with you. Today is my birthday, and not only that, this is my LAST birthday in the 50s. Gulp! And while knocking on the door of 60 may sound a little scary on the surface, I honestly feel great! I’m still running every week, doing full-contact karate sparring (fighting men), and enjoying a consistent high level of energy. Plus I recently got mistaken as my daughter’s sister...

One of the biggest threats to our existence

One of the biggest threats to our existence

  You probably know this about me already, but I’m a people watcher. Not in a weird way, but in a professional/educational way. I watch people’s food choices in restaurants, grocery stores and (most recently since I just flew home from Florida yesterday) airports and look for any obvious physical issues. I’m not judging—rather, as a nutrition coach, it’s important for me to see first-hand what people are eating and how it may affect them! ...

This is truly the key to a long, disease-free life

This is truly the key to a long, disease-free life

  Just a few decades ago, relatively little was known about the human gut microbiome.  It was common knowledge that the gut houses microorganisms (including bacteria, fungi and even certain viruses), and that for the most part, these little inhabitants either helped us in some way or at least didn’t hurt us. Boy have things changed! As studies of the microbiome have continued to explode over the last 30+ years and into the present time,...
