How to make working from home, work for YOU
Since the emergence of COVID and the resulting lockdowns and closures, more people than ever before have begun working from home. In fact, by the end of 2020, 71 percent of Americans who could do their jobs remotely were working from their homes. But COVID was not the sole reason behind this shift. Over the last few decades as technology has advanced and fewer job responsibilities have required an employee’s physical presence five days...

Important announcement regarding office hours at the end Please DO NOT skip If you’ve been reading my blogs for a while you probably know that I can be considered a “fitness nut” LOL. And there’s a good reason for that! I have worked out my entire adult life and I cannot stress enough the incredible health benefits from my exercise habits—including normal blood pressure, easily maintaining my weight, sound sleep, combatting stress and high...

Are these really just “a bunch of crap”?
*Important general office-hours announcement at the end - Please read through* I once had a client who told me that when she mentioned to her doctor that she was taking a multi-vitamin, he basically scolded her and said she “doesn’t need that crap.” Interesting perspective. Not only are vitamins NOT a bunch of crap, but our need for non-food sources of nutrients has continued to expand. At one time (several decades ago) people who had...

Your better health is just 4 simple steps away!
In addition to being my birth month, August is also National Wellness Month. While that sounds very nice and virtuous, I’m sorry, but I don’t see a lot of “wellness” going on around me. I observe people everywhere I go, and more often than not, I see vast numbers of folks that are overweight, struggling to walk and/or “waddling,” while in obvious pain or physical discomfort, laboring to breathe, have unhealthy looking skin, using...

These can either make or break your health
If you went to the doctor and reported having insomnia, chances are good you’d walk out with a prescription for sleeping pills. Or if you mentioned feeling depressed, you may get an antidepressant. If you complained about indigestion, acid reducers may be in your future. But there is a common underlying cause for all of these health issues (and many more) that NONE of the prescription drugs in the world can touch—and in...

How cholesterol became wrongly demonized
I would dare say that there is no subject in this world that is as falsely portrayed and poorly understood as cholesterol. The extent of most people’s understanding of cholesterol is that it’s the demon that clogs arteries and leads to heart disease, and the magic number to strive for is 200. And if your blood tests show you’re in the elevated range, welcome to the world of statins. But how did we...
