It all started with a stripper show at a bachelor party in 1989. And this would have been an even more interesting story if I had anything to do with that part of the night… However, my husband-to-be ended up at a New York City bar AFTER the bachelor party. He greeted me with a […]
Today is Yom Kippur, the Jewish holiday in which we fast from sunset to sunset as we repent for sins from the previous year. Fasting is as old as time with many other religions partaking in fasting during other holidays such as the Muslim holiday Ramadan and the Catholic Church on Ash Wednesday and Good […]
I think I was sick yesterday. And then I wasn’t. I know this sounds strange. I never get sick. I have never gotten the flu (with the exception of February, 2020, when I’m 99% sure I got Cov!d before it was even a thing, but healed in 2 days). Even if I feel […]
This latest study published by the BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health journal has shown that there is a very impressive way to help lessen severity and duration (whether you choose the vaxx route or not). About 3,000 healthcare workers over 6 different countries were assessed by the relationship to Cov!d and their diets. They discovered that plant-based diets were associated […]
Words matter. Especially when it comes to your health. Yes, words. You see, we speak to ourselves all day and every day, and our bodies listen to us. Some of us speak to ourselves out loud (as I’ve been known to do from time to time…) but mostly we speak silently to ourselves. […]
Do you wake up at night? If you wake up consistently between 1:00am and 3:00am, your liver may be asking for some support. While we sleep, the liver becomes more active and works on cleansing and detoxification. Waking up around this “liver time” can signal that the liver is exhibiting signs of toxicity and […]
So many of us are acutely aware of our health these days, especially considering our current climate over the past 1 1/2 years. (Has it really been that long??). And many of us have succumbed to stressful situations with less-than-ideal actions (like me in last week’s article!). However, there is a way to give […]
I had a bad week last week. I was very disappointed with some news from a family member (not health-wise thankfully!) and then a few other things I was working on seemed to go down the wrong path. So, honestly, I felt down in the dumps. And even while usually staying at my happy […]
We hear in the news often how a family of a victim forgave the offender. To some, it seems unfathomable, but what’s important is to dig deep to define what forgiveness really is and who it is for. Forgiveness is not letting people off the hook for what they did and certainly not giving […]
It’s official. People throughout the world in developed countries are dying from a growing epidemic. People are suffering from malnutrition. However, it’s not those gaunt, stick figure-like people with the protruding bellies you may be picturing. Today’s malnourished people are actually overweight and obese. How can that be? Well, the “food” many people […]
