Change isn’t easy, but it’s worth it
As you read this today, I am driving my SUV down the east coast with my 3 cats in tow (meowing incessantly) and my son following me in his truck, moving to our new home in Florida. I have been a mixed bag of emotions these last few months, ranging from sheer excitement and happiness about the new house and living in the Sunshine State to anxiety and sadness over leaving my beautiful home...

News flash: This is NOT normal!
The people I’ve consulted with over the years probably numbers into the thousands at this point, and although my clients’ health concerns have run the gamut, one central theme rings true with just about everyone I encounter. They are suffering, they don’t know why, and sadly have come to view their sickly state of health as “normal.” They’re overweight, lack energy, have high blood pressure, diabetes, gut aches, chronic infections, allergies, asthma, arthritis, you-name-it....

You may have this “silent” condition and not even know it
Most times when something is awry in our bodies, we get pretty obvious hints.

But there is another sneakier kind of reflux that doesn’t typically manifest itself as a burning chest or chronic belching. As a...

Is this why people are maniacs on the road?
Is it my imagination, or are people more filled with road rage and aggression than ever before? This thought occurred to me as I was driving from Central NY to Connecticut recently. I can’t tell you the number of close calls, cut-offs, flip-offs and tailgates that I witnessed on Interstates 87, 90 and 95. Are people just maniacs these days? Well, there may be another answer to consider… [[big3]]Your daily dose of rage[[end]] While...

It’s a fact—carb addiction is real! (Here’s how to break free)
I once worked with someone who absolutely could not say no to starchy carbs and sugars. She always had a box of some kind of chip or cracker in her desk at work. She used to sneak to the little store across the street from the office and buy cookies or candy after lunch. When we would have a birthday celebration for a co-worker, she would take a second piece of cake later in...

I have a secret to tell you
I have a little secret to share with you. Today is my birthday, and not only that, this is my LAST birthday in the 50s. Gulp! And while knocking on the door of 60 may sound a little scary on the surface, I honestly feel great! I’m still running every week, doing full-contact karate sparring (fighting men), and enjoying a consistent high level of energy. Plus I recently got mistaken as my daughter’s sister...
