Kelly Ripa does this to feel good—do you?

Kelly Ripa does this to feel good—do you?

  When it comes to diet crazes, nobody outdoes Hollywood! Celebrities embrace a seemingly endless variety of fads, all claiming to be the Holy Grail of diets, and people mimic them, hoping to achieve the same results (aka look like a star). But ultimately, the fad eventually fades into the abyss of old has-been diet crazes. That’s why an article I recently read about the TV talk show hostess Kelly Ripa was so REFRESHING! In...

Does this sound like you too?

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)

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...

What makes this difficult is that there is a myriad of possible reasons why your gut might swell up like a pan of Jiffy Pop popcorn. These include things like gluten intolerance, celiac disease, medication side effects, inflammatory bowel disease, food allergies or lactose intolerance....

Better than Tums or Nexium for acid reflux!

Better than Tums or Nexium for acid reflux!

  If you’ve got acid reflux, heartburn, GERD or whatever you want to call it, know this: Those Tums, purple pills or whatever you’re taking on a regular basis might give you some relief from the fire in your chest in the moment, but alas, there’s trouble brewing within.  Here’s what I mean—let’s look at two of the most common drug answers for reflux: [[big4]]PPIs (proton pump inhibitors—like Prilosec, Prevacid and Nexium)[[end]] PPIs “work” by...

An important lesson you need to learn

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...
