Leading health & wellness experts have known for a LONG time that saturated fats are not inherently “bad”. You’d never know it though by listening to the constant spin fed to us by “diet dictocrats”! They tell us to limit, reduce or avoid red meats, butter, fat and so on. That has turned out to [...]
Oops!
In my sheer glee from being on a real, live vacation with my family, I had what my kids would affectionately refer to as a
“brain toot”!
The other day I announced that my newest ebook and audio book, “The 7 Essential Keys to Shedding Toxic Fat & Unwanted Pounds”
has just been released.
You can check it out [...]

Apparently, I have subconsciously adopted a “diet” strategy that keeps my family and me pretty darn healthy and without too many worries about weight gain.
I didn’t realize until a few days into vacation that, back home, I don’t each much junk because I DON’T BUY much junk. If it’s not right there in front of [...]
The other day, one of the teachers at school sent home a copy of the USDA Food Pyramid and asked if I could teach the kids a nutrition lesson based on the pyramid.
I haven’t responded yet since I’m still trying to figure out how to delicately inform her that the inaccurate, genetically incongruent, bought-and-paid-for, and [...]
I don’t exactly make New Year’s Resolutions, per say. But, I DO look for opportunities throughout the year to challenge myself to get ‘better’. I feel a personal responsibility to myself to do this!! : )
Whether it’s New Year, back-to-school, planning for a vacation or a special event, or a new season around the corner, [...]
This can be a tricky time of year if you’re a health-seeking social butterfly!
Like no other time of the year, we tend to be inundated with opportunities to stray from our healthy habits. Parties, family get-togethers, holiday festivities… coupled with less daylight, colder temperatures and oftentimes less desire to get out and exercise. Oh, and [...]

Remember, “Perfect” is not my word… “HealthIER” is!

Every now and then I find myself thinking how much easier life would be if I were completely ignorant… uninformed, unaware of any consequences or any ‘better way’.
I just had this conversation with another mom yesterday. Of course, we’re being facetious. But it’s an interesting thought nonetheless!
Just imagine…
I could eat whatever I wanted and feed [...]
Yesterday my daughter went to her first day of a home school “school” that meets once per week for a very interesting variety of classes. This semester she’s taking a nice combination of history, arts, science/physics and literature.
Just an interesting, fun day for her with kids OTHER than her little brother, and a nice [...]
OK, busted.
Today, after a relaxing morning of proactive and empowering rituals on the dock, a great healthy breakfast, a nice run, a detoxifying sauna, and a healthy lunch, I gave in to the social and emotional temptations of the last summer weekend and had some Corona(s) on the dock with a friend.
The lime [...]
With the infamous “cold & flu season” right around the corner, as well as all the hype about the swine flu, many people are wondering what they can do to stay healthy and decrease their risks for developing this flu.
While I never believe there is only “one thing” when it comes to a successful ‘treatment’, [...]

Saturday:
Was a busy day for us since hubby and I were teaching a seminar for [...]
I think there’s more to ADD/ADHD than just diet and nutrition.
For example, we know that proper movement produces proprioception – it’s food for the brain. Proprioception essentially runs the cerebellum. The cerebellum is the “leader” of the rest of the brain.
In addition to stimulating the release of “feel-good” hormones, like serotonin, proprioception also [...]
