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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
