For several months now, I’ve been consistently saving quite a bit of money each week in my grocery shopping adventures. Not just a couple bucks here and there. A lot!
When I mentioned this to a friend earlier today, she asked me “What has changed? Have you given up on this ‘health’ thing?” No, silly.
I thought [...]
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 [...]
Here’s an article I recently wrote that briefly explains how toxic choices we may unknowingly be making can directly sabotage our efforts to shed excess pounds of fat.
Once you understand the key component of fat loss that I describe in the article, you will finally have a much better chance of achieving optimal body composition!
You [...]
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 [...]
Before we left for our family vacation, a surprising number of people asked me some version of the same question: “You’re not STILL going to do all those healthy things while you’re on vacation… are you?!”
Each time I was asked, I had to laugh! What a funny thing to ask!
The more I’ve thought about that [...]
Recently, we presented one of the most important seminars we’ve ever had in our practice. It was titled, “10 Steps to Transform Your Health in 2010″.
We know that not everyone could make it to the presentation that night, so we’re bringing the presentation to YOU…
Now, you can download your own copy of the seminar!

A few days ago, the kids and I visited one of my aunts in the hospital after she had suffered a stroke. She has made enormous improvements and is back home now, thank God.
Anyhow, while we were visiting, I couldn’t help but notice the tray of lunch that had been delivered to her room right [...]
When you adopt the Wellness Lifestyle and apply The Wellness Formula to your lifestyle choices, then your goal becomes BETTER HEALTH.
(If you’re not sure what The Wellness Formula is, request the free report on the www.DrMomOnline.com main page. Did I mention, it’s FREE?!)
Your goal is NOT: weight loss, dropping sizes, lowering blood pressure or cholesterol, [...]
I had decided ahead of time that Super Bowl Sunday would be a “cheat day” as far as nutritional choices go. No need to set myself up for failure, I figured!
I suppose in the big picture, it wasn’t all that horrible, considering what I could have eaten… but my body still feels like it was [...]
A few days ago, I posted a variety of ingredients that make up a common food. These were the ingredients:
Enriched macaroni, dried cheddar cheese, corn starch, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, dried tomato, salt, buttermilk, sugar, hydrolyzed vegetable protein and other natural flavorings, dried onion, dried corn syrup, disodium phosphate, dried garlic, sodium caseinate, citric acid, [...]
Take a guess at what this American classic is:
Enriched macaroni, dried cheddar cheese, corn starch, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, dried tomato, salt, buttermilk, sugar, hydrolyzed vegetable protein and other natural flavorings, dried onion, dried corn syrup, disodium phosphate, dried garlic, sodium caseinate, citric acid, dipotassium phosphate, FD&C yellow No. 5 and other artificial color, sodium [...]
I was perusing my Nourishing Traditions cook book by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig, Ph.D. from the the Weston A. Price Foundation recently, and came across this brief statement about pasta that I thought you might find interesting and useful.
“… pasta, even and especially whole grain pasta, is difficult to digest due to the fact [...]
We’re not really big on traditional “dessert” in our family… at least not on a regular basis. I grew up in a family that had something for dessert pretty much every night. Now, as a grown-up and as a parent, it just makes no sense to me. From a health perspective, not much good can [...]
As predicted, the article I posted the other day about the school field trip that ended with lunch at McDonald’s has raised some questions, issues and strong opinions!
Good. It should.
Ultimately, we get to feed our children the way we choose to. As parents, I firmly believe that we make the very best decisions we possibly [...]
I know I’ve talked about this here before, but recently, I’ve had several opportunities for further observation into this matter!
Several times each week, I hear someone tell me that “It’s too expensive to eat healthy food.” I’m also often found on the receiving end of comments like, “We can’t buy all the healthy foods that [...]
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 [...]
As some of you know, we made the decision to put our kids back in school for the remainder of the school year starting in January. Tough decision… because there is so much I loved about home schooling. Sure, I have more gray hair now, but I still think it’s a fabulous way to go [...]
I’ve been asked to give more of the really quick, really simple improvements we can make in our lifestyle choices (nutrition, movement and mindset) that will move us closer to health.
Done. I can do that!
These will be VERY short recommendations, tweaks, suggestions, tips, strategies, etc. Take it or leave it! These are simply things that [...]
Today is grocery shopping day. It’s not the usual list of suspects gracing my shopping list. Today, I’m also shopping for the ingredients for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and the “new” annual Holiday gathering at my dad’s house where I make a serious organic/grass-fed bison lasagna for dad, his closest friends and some [...]
In our home, we have this tiny little outdated bathroom that has the dubious distinction of being the warmest room in our house! This is very important to know when the temperatures drop!
Recently, I discovered two small people hanging out in this sauna of a room. They were my kids… doing math lessons! Too funny! [...]
