Don't be fooled by this wolf in sheep's clothing
In my 17-year nutrition career, I’ve had several experiences that I will label “unsettling.” For example, I once had a client whose told me her friend had suffered a heart attack. Apparently, the friend had been taking a multi-vitamin and her doctor actually scolded her for it, saying she doesn’t need “that crap” and her diet will give her “all the nutrients she needs.” Sorry doc, but you’re all wet, and it’s painfully obvious you...
When “stomach problems” aren’t your stomach at all
$10 off Digestizol Max sale ends today! I think it’s safe to say that there is an abundance of people who have what are commonly called “stomach problems” including bloating, belching, burping, indigestion and an ability to play a symphony with one’s flatulence. In fact, an astonishing 74 percent (nearly three out of four) of us suffer occasional or chronic (as in several times a week or daily) digestive problems. The pharmaceutical industry pops the...
Got cravings? Here’s why (and how to stop them)
My late mother Freida used to have a theory about pregnancy cravings. She craved watermelon like it was disappearing tomorrow when she was pregnant with my brother Bob. No matter what the day or time, she couldn’t get enough of it. Well, Bob grew up to LOVE watermelon, and my mother swore it was because of her pregnancy cravings! I’ll let you decide whether her theory has any validity LOL, but seriously, I think...
I did this so I could sleep at night

I also wanted to be able to speak the truth and not be criticized for it. Here’s what I mean. The nutrition industry (like many...
Feed disease or fight it—the choice is yours
As much as I would like to say otherwise, our current state of health is not “health” at all—it’s disease management. If you doubt what I’m saying, then consider these disturbing facts: 7 out of 10 of us take at least one prescription medication per day 75 percent of us are overweight or obese Over 60 percent of US adults have at least one chronic condition such as heart disease, cancer or Type 2...
Is this diet all it’s cracked up to be?
As a nutrition coach, people are always asking me what I think of a certain diet. It’s not surprising. After all, there are about 30,000 diets in existence so you are bound to come across one you haven’t heard of and want to get the skinny on it. Many diets are what I call “repackaged”—meaning they are similar to an existing diet, but just have a new name and a few different tweaks. Tom...
