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 […]
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 […]

I learned a such a profound lesson the other day when I just about killed my beautiful new hydrangeas. Do you have a green thumb? I love love love my plants and flowers, but I’m ashamed to say that sometimes I struggle with keeping them healthy (and sometimes even alive!). I am […]
Many of my clients have a variety of symptoms as they are inflamed from years of eating acidic foods and processed foods. The first step is to stop putting more gas on the fire. So, I have them cut out the main offending inflammatory foods such as wheat, dairy, soy, corn and sometimes even […]
