In this article, I describe how powerful it can be to apply the simplicity and common sense of The Wellness Formula to your fat loss and weight loss goals.
In fact, if you DON’T understand some of the core components of how this formula works – how health is created and how illness happens – chances [...]
You may have noticed that I didn’t post the work outs I was doing while we were on vacation last week. (I wasn’t being lazy… I had committed to writing an article about weight loss and fat loss each day for various publications and chose not to do BOTH, that’s all!)
In a nutshell, I did [...]
Here’s an article I recently wrote that describes the “right” kind of exercise to boost your metabolism and kick your fat loss up a few notches!
(ALL exercise is good, and we physiologically require a variety of motion. But, certain types of exercise are superior for fat loss.)
Here’s the link to the article:

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 [...]
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 [...]
Some of you are aware that I’ve been working on this project for the last couple of months. I’m excited to announce that my latest ebook and audio book, “The 7 Essential Keys to Shedding Toxic Fat & Unwanted Pounds” is ready to roll!
This is THE last weight loss solution you’ll ever need!
You can check [...]
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 [...]
We’ve been blessed to be in Maui for a few days now. I am grateful for all the forces that united in order to make this happen for us!
I’ve been taking mental notes of all things health-related since our arrival, which is pretty par for the course with me! I take it all in: healthy [...]
Here we go… here’s the continuation of the last few days’ worth of work outs, for those of you taking notes!
Wednesday:
Morning spinal hygiene.
Went for a great 5 mile run! What made it great? The sun, the snow… and the wild-hair-in-my-buttocks that inspired me about a third of the way into the run to start doing [...]
I’d like to apologize for not being as regular with my postings as usual in the past week or so.
I’ve been spending most of my “Dr. Mom focused time” on a book I’m hoping to complete within the next week ~ “7 Essential Keys to Shedding Toxic Fat and Unwanted Pounds… The Wellness Way!”
(By the [...]
On my last running day, I bundled up accordingly and headed out with the intention of a fairly predictable 4.5 – 5 mile run. It was very cold, but sunny… so I thought I’d be fine. When I came to the first unprotected clearing of trees, I was shocked by an incredible blast of arctic [...]
A few days ago I was “scheduled” to do a run. Apparently, at some point in the past few months, I’ve become a fair weather runner! I didn’t exactly realize I felt this way… in fact, I usually LIKE to get out and run in the muck! Not this particular day. It was raining hard [...]
I’ve had a couple of good ‘official’ resistance training work outs this week, in addition to some energizing bursts of full body resistance moves during my morning routines of spinal hygiene and calisthenics.
In the mornings, along with stretching, cross-crawl patterns, proprioception-stimulating movements and postural corrective exercises, I’ve added some “big moves” like alternating squat kicks, [...]
Each day, I’m focusing on doing something that falls under the “cardio umbrella” of exercise.
Some days it’s pretty traditional endurance-type exercise, while other days it’s anaerobic burst-like intervals. At the very least, every day I do a few minutes of calisthenics to get my blood pumping and metabolism kicked in first thing in the morning. [...]
I know you’ve heard me say it before: Motion is a requirement for health. Our cells genetically require regular movement in order to express their optimal function.
Our ability to create health and prevent chronic illness depend upon us meeting our genetic requirements for motion, as well as nutrition and mindset/emotions.
This is the recipe for lifelong [...]
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, [...]
A couple days ago, you may recall that I had mentioned I was heading to a doctor’s appointment with my dad. As such, I needed to be time efficient with my movement for the day.
I headed out early with dog-breath for his walk. We “power” walked for about 20 minutes and then headed for a [...]
Yesterday, the stars just didn’t align for me to get out for the longer run I would have liked to have taken for my cardio work out.
Enter Plan B!
Instead, I chose to do a quick, focused combination of high-intensity, fat-burning “power moves” to challenge my heart and work up a good sweat.
The work out:
100 alternating [...]
Real, evidence-based science doesn’t have a lot of good things to say about coffee.
Savvy marketers and pseudo scientists can put whatever spin they want on it, but the evidence continues to demonstrate that the caffeine, the chemicals used in DE-caffeinating coffee, and the sugary stuff we add to our coffee ALL have serious, detrimental consequences. [...]
