One of the biggest threats to our existence
You probably know this about me already, but I’m a people watcher. Not in a weird way, but in a professional/educational way. I watch people’s food choices in restaurants, grocery stores and (most recently since I just flew home from Florida yesterday) airports and look for any obvious physical issues. I’m not judging—rather, as a nutrition coach, it’s important for me to see first-hand what people are eating and how it may affect them! ...
GMOs are deadly—here’s what you need to know
Although they’ve been around for nearly three decades, many people are still in the dark (much to the delight of food and chemical manufacturers) about GMOs--genetically modified organisms—or as they are more recently called, GE--genetically engineered—foods. For those of you still scratching your heads on what they are, GMO foods are living organisms that have had their genes artificially manipulated in a lab. Scientists splice bits of DNA from one organism into another in...

This woman is anything BUT healthy. What she has...
Another great reason to give up fast food
I live in Upstate NY, but I believe it’s safe to say that there is no shortage of long lines wrapped around the drive-thru windows of fast food restaurants anywhere in the world. Fair statement? I don’t care what time of day it is—every time I drive by McDonalds, Wendy’s or Burger King, there is a sea of cars waiting in line for their paper-wrapped offerings. It makes me a bit crazy when I see...
A national day you should never celebrate
Yesterday was National Junk Food Day…and while I get the fun intent behind these “national days,” junk food is not something anyone should be celebrating. Processed junk foods are arguably the most widespread and significant cause of disease and early death in our existence. Sure, we can point fingers at smoking, excessive alcohol intake, pharmaceuticals and lack of exercise as underlying factors behind our sickly states of health too, but food is numero...
