A secret of my past I’ve never told you before

A secret of my past I’ve never told you before

  I’m going to share some of my personal past with you today in a way that I never have. While I have mentioned in a blog or two that my Dad died of a massive heart attack at age 58 (when I was 15), that’s not the whole story.

This “attitude” can cause disease and early death

This “attitude” can cause disease and early death

  I'd like to talk to you today about a certain “attitude” that affects millions of people and leads to a variety of serious health problems and even early death.

  There’s a loaded question!  What do you think is the best medicine of all?

Others may say proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).   These drugs do what they’re supposed to—shut down your stomach acid so it can’t...

The one thing you must do to enjoy great health

The one thing you must do to enjoy great health

I must admit that sometimes my profession can be entertaining. For example, when I ask a new client, “How’s your diet?” I’m either going to get the doe in the headlights look, or they’ll look down at the floor, or they’ll say something like, “Um, well, not bad.” When I hear that, I know it’s bad! Now, typically when people come to me to improve their health, they want an answer to the magic question: ...

My opinion of the keto diet

  One of the most common questions I get asked as a nutrition coach is what I think of a certain popular diet. Generally speaking, as long as a diet provides good nutrients and enough energy for your body’s needs, and is centered on real (NOT processed) foods, if it’s something that works for you, great. Now, the latest buzz in the diet world is… [[big4]]The Keto Diet[[end]] The idea behind the keto diet is...
