Let’s talk about the things that hold us back in business. If you’re building a business in the health and wellness industry, I’m willing to bet that the things that you THINK are holding you back aren’t the things that are actually holding you back. This is true for many of us, but it’s especially […]
An anti-inflammatory lifestyle has become something of an obsession for me. It was thrust upon me, really, after a health incident that caused me to take a very hard look at my own lifestyle. Chronic inflammation is at the root of many of our disease processes, as we’re only just beginning to understand. I blogged about […]

It was exactly a year ago when everything changed for me. On May 10, 2011 I logged on to check my bloodwork results. I scrolled down, and stared at the screen. And the floor dropped out from under me. I had a positive result. Which, in the medical world, is a very big negative. I […]

When I was younger I used to avoid nuts because of their high fat content. You too? Fortunately, we now know about the blissful thing called “healthy fat“. There’s no doubt, nuts do contain a lot of fat, but most of it is the monounsaturated kind (same stuff that’s in olive oil). And that sort of fat is good for your cholesterol profile, […]

Are you a regular flosser? Yeah, me neither. It doesn’t seem to matter how many times I sit in my dentist’s chair and listen to the hygienist’s heartfelt lecture on flossing…when it comes time to make good on my sworn promises…I dunno. I’m a good brusher–great brusher, in fact–but just so damn lazy when it comes to flossing. Well, […]

Is CRP a test you should be getting done? Chances are, you’ve never even heard of it. (If you have: bonus points to you!) CRP stands for C-Reactive Protein, and it’s a marker for inflammation. But we also use it as a screening test for heart disease risk. At this point you might be asking: what does inflammation […]

I’ll admit it: I’m a little obsessed with Europe. In the past I’ve written about the French Paradox , and there’s a big part of me that would like to be reborn in this life as a French woman (and not only because spa treatments are considered part of the French healthcare system). Also, I […]

In recent years, you might have heard rumors about chocolate being good for your health. And you promptly dismissed said rumors as being way too good to be true. But this week a study was published that is seriously validating the idea of chocolate as health food. According to the folks at the British Medical Journal, chocolate is […]

I talk to a lot of people who would love to become a wellness coach and build their own business, but a lot of them really struggle with a lot of doubt. They doubt whether this is really possible. They’re maybe even skeptical, because, let’s face it, it sounds too good to be true, doesn’t […]

Women tend to have lower aerobic activity levels and more barriers to exercise compared to men. As a health and wellness coach, it’s important to understand how this places them at a higher risk for both depression and metabolic syndrome, which only increases chances for coronary disease, stroke, and Type 2 diabetes. In fact, researchers at […]
