I did this so I could sleep at night

I did this so I could sleep at night

  I’ve often been asked why I chose to earn my Master’s degree in Holistic Nutrition versus traditional or mainstream nutrition.  Good question.  And the answer boils down to this:  I wanted to be able to sleep peacefully at night and look at myself in the mirror in the morning.  I also wanted to be able to speak the truth and not be criticized for it.  Here’s what I mean.  The nutrition industry (like many...

Got meds?  Read this before you take them today.

Got meds? Read this before you take them today.

  I have never heard of this before, but apparently October is National Talk About Prescriptions Month. Good, because I have a lot to say about that subject, so I’ll jump right in.

3 Amazingly simple steps to better health

3 Amazingly simple steps to better health

  I once consulted with a 45-year-old woman who was overweight, stressed out, always tired, hadn’t exercised in years and had an atrocious diet.  And she said something that no other client had ever said to me.  She said, “I know what I need to do, but I just look at myself and say, ‘Why bother?’”  If this even remotely sounds like you, then read on and see what I explained to this woman.  It’s...

Are your bowel habits normal?  Here’s how to tell.

Are your bowel habits normal? Here’s how to tell.

  Ah, pooping.  Such a personal subject.  The intimate relationship between you, your toilet bowl and Charmin.    Bowel habits are typically not something that most people feel comfortable discussing, especially when the conversation centers on how often you go.  But it probably won’t surprise you that I believe it’s a VERY important topic of conversation, so let’s have a little chat about your Number twos.    Where do you fall on the spectrum?  Generally speaking, people...
