Detoxing is Not for the Faint of Heart

February 3, 2013 by

In life, there is typically an action and then a reaction or consequence that follows.  When we look at the food and drinks we ingest, that holds true as well.  As Sheri Lynn taught me, long ago that with every bite we take we are either generating or degenerating our health.  Yes, EVERY bite.  Each […]

I take it you are searching for the most reliable method for fat loss?  I was too. I tried it all: pills to speed metabolism, extra hours in the gym, calorie counting, point counting, low-fat, no fat, no carb, no meat, only meat, infomercial gadgets and any NY best seller that promised weight loss. I could […]

Inflammation is the cornerstone of the body’s healing response.  It is the front line of defense used by the immune system bringing more immune activity and nourishment to the site of injury or infection.  Inflammation can be either acute or chronic.

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 […]

RN Advice: Holiday Inflammation

October 21, 2012 by

I love this time of the year with the turning foliage, pumpkins baking in the oven and toasty fires but frankly this saying is right on.  Halloween is the beginning of abundant comfort food meals and baked treats.  Couple that with increased stress – a toxic combination that leads to INFLAMMATION. Do not fear, with […]

In October 2011, my sister Mary started Genesis Transformation (GT). She raved about how great she felt and that her waist size was getting smaller even though she was eating plenty. Of course, she encouraged me to try it but I thought that this was just one of her newly found conquests that she seems […]

Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart of healthy people, and those at high risk of — or who have — cardiovascular disease. Research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids decrease risk of arrhythmias (abnormal heartbeats), which can lead to sudden death.  Omega-3 fatty acids also decrease triglyceride levels, slow growth rate of atherosclerotic plaque, and lower blood pressure (slightly). I’m […]

Dear Dave, David, what’s wrong with eating movie theatre popcorn?  It’s just popcorn right?  And it is known as a ‘diet’ food…. Lauren,  Utah Hello Lauren, First of all, corn in any form is a grain – NOT a vegetable.  If you have any grain sensitivities you should avoid it entirely as it WILL induce […]

They had a slogan that went like this: “There’s room for all kinds of food in a healthy diet.” The promoted idea is that people can eat anything they want, as long as the foundation of the diet is healthy.  Unfortunately, what […]
