The 5 diet mistakes that guarantee sickness & disease
As much as I wish I could say otherwise, our current state of health is positively abysmal. Seven out of ten US adults have at least one chronic condition, and shockingly, so do 54 percent of our children. Three out of four of us are overweight or obese. Eight out of ten of us are medicated. What in the world is going on?! Well, there are many factors that play into whether someone...
Got belly fat? Here’s how to get rid of it!

The worst diet advice I’ve ever seen
As a holistic nutrition coach, when I see the horrible diet advice out there that people are given or see on “health” sites or in magazines, it makes me seethe.
