Everything we do in life starts with our mindset. It’s all a mental game first. Whether it’s accomplishing big things in our career or trying to achieve a goal or even going to the market, we all start with how we feel (or decide to feel), which determines how we accomplish any task. […]
Can clutter actually affect your weight? I know this sounds crazy, but it’s true and it does make sense. I was listening to a podcast yesterday, when expert minimalist Heather Aardema (who also happens to be a functional medicine certified health coach) talked about minimizing clutter to improve health and get to that […]
We got it a few weeks back. Well, one of us got that thing that rhymes with shmovid. To back up, I’m pretty sure I did have “it” before it was even a thing. You see, I NEVER get sick. Like, never. I’ve never gotten the flu and even if I have […]
Weight. So many of us struggle to get to the weight we want. It’s all about the food, isn’t it? Actually, our weight is not only dictated by what we eat but how we eat. I listened to a podcast today. It was on gut health and Dr. Mary Pardee was being interviewed. […]
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. […]

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 […]
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 […]
