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 […]
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 […]

I’m always happy to report when there’s good news about chocolate. And here’s the latest: a recent study found an association between chocolate consumption and a reduced risk of stroke. The study was conducted in Sweden and examined the dietary habits of more than 37,000 men aged 45-79. Researchers found that the men who ate […]

We already know that wine is full of antioxidants, is good for your heart, and reduces your risk of stroke…but now a recent study has suggested that wine may actually improve your bone health, too. I’m going to go ahead and file this news under Y for Yesss. In fact, this isn’t the first study to […]

I know–when life is throwing you curveballs, your impulse is to bee-line for the freezer (chocolate chip cookie dough Haagen-Dazs, anyone?) or the snack cupboard (hello, Sea Salt & Vinegar Kettle chips…). But that’s not going to make anything better. Especially not your coronary arteries. Or your muffin top. So I’ve rounded up some healthier options–and snack […]

People bat around the word superfood pretty blithely these days, which is easy, because there’s no real definition. Scientists tend to use the term “functional food” (meaning: food which provides a clinically proven and documented health benefit) but it’s not quite as sexy, is it? Anyway, I like the term superfood, but I try to reserve […]

It’s like Voldemort. It strikes such fear into people’s hearts, some of us are afraid to even speak the word, for fear of invoking the name…but let’s just say it: Cancer. Everybody is afraid of cancer. It’s the elephant in the room for many, many of my patient visits. Occasionally people will vocalize their fear, but often it’s lurking there, unsaid. […]

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, […]

It sounds like the holy grail: Boost your metabolism, lose weight without even trying! Is such a thing even possible? All manner of supplements trumpet this claim.

If you’re building a business, do you worry about your critics? When you’re putting content out there or creating a new offer, do you find yourself obsessing over what people might say and think?

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 […]
