RN Advice: Holiday Reflections

December 2, 2013 by

1

During the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, I like to take a few hours away to spend some time alone reflecting on the past year’s journey.  Where did I start this year?  What roadblocks/paths appeared?  Where am I today?   Am I in a better spot than I was at the beginning?  What did […]

RN Advice: Gratitude

November 3, 2013 by

1

As my focus and meditations has been on gratitude these last few months, my thoughts have centered on how grateful I am for my magnificent body.  It is not that I am buffed or without some excess body fat but what is glorious about my body is how it functions, signals me and responds to […]

RN Advice: I’ve Joined the Club Update

So 2 months ago I wrote about my experience with my screening colonoscopy.  While I was able to alter the prescribed clear liquid diet to foods that work for me, I was not able to change the actual prep or anesthetic used.  As I write this, I am now 11 weeks out and am still […]

RN Advice: Virus, Infection or Detox?

September 2, 2013 by

Josie in California submitted this question: “Why do I get a virus or cold when I am detoxing?  Should I use antibiotics?”  Josie, this is a great question.  Many of us are returning from our relaxing summer vacation detour in our journey to health.  We begin journaling our foods again eliminating foods/drinks that have created […]

RN Advice: Hot Mess Pain-Relief

August 3, 2013 by

While I rarely get headaches, I have experienced migraines.  I will admit that this is one physical pain that I have very little tolerance for and want to nip it right away.  If I catch it early, I can prevent the nausea, vomiting and overall sick feeling that can lay me up for hours.  But […]

RN Advice: Vacation Reality

June 3, 2013 by

1

I remember when I first started GT (when I thought of this as a diet).  Vacations were a time to let go, get away and escape from reality.   I planned vacations at all-inclusives and enjoyed the abundance of food and drink.   I had worked very hard during the year and since we only vacationed once […]

RN Advice: New Roles

April 26, 2013 by

This Mother’s day, I wanted to touch upon a topic that I and several of my clients are experiencing; caring for aging parents or grown children.   Sometimes we even do this at the same time.  This is the ‘Sandwich Generation’.   Being a caregiver takes a toll financially, physically and emotionally if one does not practice […]

RN Advice: Inflammatory State of Mind

I just returned from a wonderful relaxing week of vacation; sun, surf, good friends AND food in another country. Right away I realize my article for the newsletter is due in 2 days.  Oh my, I don’t think this will be good.  I have no idea of what to write about.  My brain is full […]

RN Advice: Inflammation and Lab Values

March 3, 2013 by

Last month at the suggestion of the Newsletter I watched Supersize Me again.  While the whole movie relays a powerful message, there was one particular message that hit home with me; Morgan’s lab results. For those who have not seen the movie, Morgan Spurlock undertakes a 30 day carefully monitored and documented experiment of eating […]

RN Advice: Inflammation and the Immune System

I had the pleasure of taking care of my granddaughter for 3 days while my daughter delivered baby#2.  Within 2 hours, Remy’s nose started running quickly progressing from clear to thick yellow crusty mucus, my husband came home from the office (where he said they were ‘dropping like flies’) running a fever, coughing and general […]
