Kelly Ripa does this to feel good—do you?
When it comes to diet crazes, nobody outdoes Hollywood! Celebrities embrace a seemingly endless variety of fads, all claiming to be the Holy Grail of diets, and people mimic them, hoping to achieve the same results (aka look like a star). But ultimately, the fad eventually fades into the abyss of old has-been diet crazes. That’s why an article I recently read about the TV talk show hostess Kelly Ripa was so REFRESHING! In...
A shocking cause of low energy (and how to turn it around!)
One of the most common complaints I hear from clients is that they lack energy. This can have a domino effect on every area of your life! When your energy level is in the tanker, the quality of your work (or school work) suffers, it can have a negative impact on your relationships, and forget exercising (which in turn can pack the pounds on you)! What makes this challenge especially tricky is that the causes of low energy can run the...
Is weight loss your 2020 resolution? Don’t do this!
Have you made a New Year’s resolution to lose weight in 2020? If so, you’re certainly not alone. Losing weight is consistently one of the top resolutions that people make on December 31st of each year. But sadly, most will go on to fail and completely abandon their resolution by mid-February.

For example, I once read an article by a registered dietician (RD) that claimed artificial sweeteners...
Impossible burger—quite possibly harmful
If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while, you probably remember me saying this at one point or another about processed foods: The farther you venture away from Nature with what you eat, the less nutritious (and quite likely more harmful) it is to your body. This is especially true when it comes to the latest “hot topic” in the world of highly processed food products… The Impossible Burger! Here’s the scoop on...
Most people wish for this—do you?
I speak at a lot of events and always have people approach me afterward to discuss their health concerns. Although the health issues can run the gamut (believe me when I tell you!), far and away the number one goal for people is weight loss. I’m not surprised. Nearly 3 out of 4 of us are overweight or obese, so clearly, losing weight is a concern for many. What is mind-boggling is the fact that...
