It turns out being an optimist is good for your health. Harvard grads who were optimists at age 25 had better health outcomes for the next three decades. In broad sweeps, optimists have better cardiovascular health than pessimists. Their immune systems are more responsive, and they have more resilience to stress. The reason? Optimists have a […]

A new study found that celery (specifically, luteolin, a compound found within celery) had brain-boosting power in older mice. Yes, celery. So this got me thinking: are there other things you can do to upgrade your smarty-pants quotient? You betcha. Omega-3 fatty acids are well-known to boost brain function. This, in addition to all the other health benefits of omega-3, […]

It’s no secret that, lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about happiness, stress, mortality, and living a fulfilling life …and part of that process has led me to the concept of a Bucket List. You’ve seen the movie with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, right? Or at least heard about it, I’m sure. I like the […]

It’s one of the secrets of the French Paradox, and one of the reasons why a lot of women throughout the world (Europe in particular) are able to enjoy the wonderful food they do, yet stay slim. This is definitely […]

It’s true. There’s this little thing you can do to bring all of the above benefits into your life. What is this magic pill, you ask? Meditation. Now before you groan/roll your eyes/click back to facebook…just hear me out. I know meditation may seem a bit flaky to you, or maybe too spiritual, or maybe too […]

Used to be, all fats were considered bad. We gobbled down low-fat versions of everything, assuming this was the path to true health. This was not a good time in dietary history, as far as I’m concerned. Three words: Low. Fat. Cheese. Ugh. Thankfully, we now know that dietary fat is not nutritionally black and […]

In honor of the French National Day today, I thought I’d share some links about the French lifestyle and the French way of eating (um, and also because I’m a little obsessed with this topic): Health Lessons from the French (on Blisstree) Mireille Giuliano on Summer and Rituals (on Treat Yourself Well) Kate Middleton and the Dukan […]

Many people have no idea whether a multivitamin is essential or a total waste of money. Or something in between. So what’s the truth? As with many things, it’s controversial. And not even the “experts” can agree. Some studies have shown benefit. Others have been equivocal, or downright discouraging. For example, the Annals of Internal […]

Last year, I received an invitation to speak at TEDx, and I spent the next 6 months learning how to be a better speaker. But what I didn’t expect to happen during that time was to rewire my entire relationship with self-doubt. In fact, I realized that what was holding me back wasn’t my lack […]

Let’s be honest: learning something new as an adult can make you feel incredibly vulnerable. Whether it’s starting a YouTube channel, learning a language, taking up public speaking, or walking onto a golf course for the first time, there’s often an unhelpful voice in the background whispering: You don’t belong here. That’s exactly what I […]

Do you feel like you’re doing everything right, but somehow you’re not moving any closer to your dreams? I get it. I felt like that for many years, and it’s something I’ve seen in many of my clients, too. You’re reading all the right books, setting goals, and changing your routine. Yet, you still don’t […]

After years of coaching clients through identity change, I’ve noticed this pattern… Whenever someone feels stuck, they immediately assume the reason is “lack of motivation.” So they force more discipline, more willpower, and better morning routines… yet they still remain stuck. Why? Because they’re trying to fix the wrong thing. While it may look and […]

I used to think I was just “the cautious one.” The one who hesitated, overthought, and took forever to make decisions. I told myself it was just my personality… because some people are naturally more careful than others, right? Turns out, hesitation is not due to caution. Rather, it’s a sign of low confidence.
