They say life begins at 40, but no one ever tells you why. Is it just a comforting cliche to soften the sting of aging? Or is there something real behind it? Spoiler: there is. Something does shift around this time. And there’s a reason why—a reason why your 40s tend to crack your life […]
The people of Greece have figured a lot of things out when it comes to knowing how to live a happy, healthy life. It makes sense–Greece is the birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine. Have you ever been to Greece? My husband and I went many years ago, in the BC years (Before Children, of course). […]

I love dining in restaurants. I mean, delicious food professionally prepared just for me, while I relax and sip my wine…and someone else washes the dishes afterwards? Yes, please. But…I don’t necessarily love what restaurants do to my waistline. Or my heart health. And a little carrot icon next to a supposedly-healthy menu item is totally not enough for me […]

Feeling a little guilty about your favorite indulgence? Don’t. Here’s why chocolate is good for you. (Yes, you read that right.) And speaking of pleasurable indulgences…here’s […]

A new study was released recently that makes a connection between the regular intake of berries, like strawberries and blueberries, and a reduced risk of heart attacks in women. The study was big: 93,000 subjects strong. The timeline was long: the women were monitored for a period of 18 years. And the benefit was significant: heart […]

Passport To Health is one of my favorite topics…it allows me to talk about two things I love: health and travel. As I’ve said before, we North Americans may be many things, but one thing we’re not? Svelte. Fact is, we can learn a lot from other countries. (And shamelessly steal their health secrets.) Today, […]

(One of my favorite old posts…please indulge me in this re-boot, as I’m busy writing like mad, lost in fictional worlds…) 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 […]

You might have heard this: red wine is good for your health. But is it true? And what does it do for you, exactly? I’ve talked about wine before, on this blog, but I had the feeling a more comprehensive roundup of wine’s health benefits was warranted. Are you a wine lover? Curious about the specifics […]

Now I hope this doesn’t cause anyone to lose sleep…but a recent study has shown that people with high blood pressure who also suffer insomnia are much more likely to have resistant high blood pressure (meaning, the kind we just can’t control with medication). Which, to me, adds to the growing body of research that demonstrates the […]

I have long maintained that stress is a major, under-recognized trigger for illness and unwell. I have little doubt that stress contributed to my own health crisis. And now, an important study has come out validating that connection. The study was published this week in the British Medical Journal. It was a large study, looking at […]

You’re doing all the right things—Waking up early, writing in your journal, blocking every hour in your calendar. From the outside, it looks like you’ve mastered the art of personal growth. But on the inside, you’re exhausted. Despite all your efforts… you’re not getting where you want to go. I’ve seen this countless times. As […]

You might think acting is all about pretending. I used to believe that, too. But when I walked into my first acting class, expecting to polish up my on-camera presence, I discovered something entirely different. Acting school didn’t teach me how to fake it. It taught me how to stop hiding. And after years of […]

I used to think I just needed to hustle harder, wake up earlier, cram more in, and push through. But no matter what I tried, I was still drowning in to-do lists and constantly playing catch-up. I watched other people breeze through their days with time to spare while I was barely holding it together. […]
