Healthy Halloween Tricks!

October 2009 Healthy and Halloween are not usually two words that you hear together! Candy, a staple of the holiday, is usually high in sugar and calories and low in nutrients. However, some parents find it unrealistic to tell their kids not to eat sweets on Halloween.

Fear of Being Great

September 2009 In the last newsletter I asked, what is holding you back from living the life you want? Everyday I hear people who are concerned about their weight.

Dark Mornings & Early Nights

September 2009 Yes, it is that time of year already! The sun is moving its way across the sky and leaving us with less and less hours of sunlight every day. And because school is back in session and vacations are over, chances are you are spending less time outdoors. Why does this matter to your health? Because our skins exposure to sunlight causes our bodies to make Vitamin D.

Why “Honest” Fat Loss Is So Important

July 2009 When it comes to diets, everyone's selling something, some more effectively than others. With about 65 percent of Americans being overweight and half of those obese, it is no wonder obesity and the various schemes to fight it are such a hot topic.

Confessions From a Former Fat Girl

June 2009 As many of you know, I am 4 months pregnant with my second child. Ten years ago I was told I may not have the ability to conceive at all. At age 22, I weighed close to 180 pounds. At 5'6", that put me on the borderline of obesity according to Body Mass Index. At this time, I was not worried about conceiving, but the other problems I had with my hormones plagued me.

Sniffles, Sneezing and Itchy Eyes—Oh My!

April 2009 Sounds like allergy season is here again! In children who are susceptible, or predisposed to allergies, this can be a miserable time—for the parents too! Did you know more than two million school days are lost because of allergy symptoms?

Spring Detoxification for Vigor & Health

April 2009 The healing powers of green tea have been valued in Asia for thousands of years, but here in the West, we are just now beginning to understand how valuable it is. Preliminary research indicated that drinking green tea may help prevent cancer and possibly heart disease.

Green Tea: Drink to your health!

March 2009 The healing powers of green tea have been valued in Asia for thousands of years, but here in the West, we are just now beginning to understand how valuable it is. Preliminary research indicated that drinking green tea may help prevent cancer and possibly heart disease.

Should you take a multivitamin?

March 2009 A multivitamin is a collection of isolated nutrients from food that current science has identified to be important for human health. Sounds good right? Well, here’s the thing: multivitamins are trying to mimic the benefits of a healthy diet rich in fruits and veggies, and they fall short. No vitamin, no matter how good they claim it is, or who is endorsing it, will ever equal the nutrient quality and variety found in real food.

Be Allergy Free

In order to be truly allergy free, I have a two part approach. First are the quick fixes, to help ameliorate your current suffering and symptoms. But please remember that these quick-fixes are not a cure. These natural remedies can give you the temporary relief you need while we address the underlying causes of your immune hyperactivity. Once you have some relief, we can get to the root of the problem. Read on!

The 10 Golden Rules of Losing Weight & Keeping it Off

The majority of overweight people don’t have problems with their metabolism or any other health issue. The real problem lies in the food groups being consumed, the quantities being eaten and the lack of physical activity. It is only in the last 10,000 years, a fraction of a second in evolutionary time, that humans began ingesting large amounts of sugar and starch in the form of grains (and potatoes) into their diets. Prior to this we consumed meat and vegetables.
