I was in France this summer and it’s something I notice every time I’m there: the slimness of the French people. It’s really quite incredible. By now, I suspect we’re all familiar with the French Paradox. It’s the fact that the traditional French diet is filled with goodies we North Americans tend to view as […]

This was one of my very first posts…and since I happen to be in France right now on a family vacay I thought it a good time to re-run this favorite of mine: Wouldn’t it be fabulous to indulge in buttery croissants and triple crème brie, all while maintaining a size four silhouette and the blood […]

North Americans may be many things, but one thing we’re not? Svelte. Not on average, anyway. And certainly not compared to the rest of the world. Are there things we could learn from our friends in other countries around the globe? Why, yes. Yes there are. Join me on a little tour. Japan In Okinawa, […]

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 […]

One of the best ways to lose or maintain weight is to become a portion-control pro. 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 […]

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 […]

Wouldn’t it be fabulous to indulge in buttery croissants and triple crème brie, all while maintaining a size four silhouette and the blood pressure of a 25-year old? The French enjoy a famously rich diet. They shun exercise as gauche. Yet, on the streets of Paris, everyone appears thin and gorgeous. More importantly, France’s low rates […]

Most people believe that they fail to build new habits because they’re not motivated or disciplined enough. But that’s not the real problem. After 20 years as a doctor and a coach, working with hundreds of people on personal development, I’ve seen the same pattern over and over… and it has nothing to do with […]

There was a time when I was working full-time as a family doctor. I had two healthy boys, a beautiful home, and all the stability I had ever wanted. My life made total sense, and on paper, everything looked perfect. But inside, I felt like I was slowly disappearing. I knew I felt stuck, but […]

I used to think change was about discipline. If only I could cultivate more focus, better habits, and earlier mornings, I would finally achieve my dream life. So I brought the snazziest color-coded planner I could find, downloaded all the habit tracker apps, and listened to endless self-improvement podcasts. But guess what? No matter how […]

Bad habits don’t always look toxic. Sometimes they look responsible, smart, even productive. People might praise you for them, saying things like “you’re so disciplined,” and “I don’t know how you do it all.” For years, I lived my life following three “good habits.” They brought me promotions, a good reputation, and a successful career, […]

We’ve all met them… those people who just radiate something. They walk into a room and everyone turns toward them. They don’t hustle for attention or try to impress, yet people are drawn in. What makes them so magnetic? It’s not luck, and it’s not some elusive “it factor.” It’s actually a handful of small, […]

I’m 52, and when I look back at my 30s and 40s, there are a few lessons I wish I’d learned sooner. Lessons that would have saved me years of chasing the wrong goals and helped me pivot onto a path that actually felt right. If you’re in your 30s or 40s and feel like […]
