Rates of this disease are exploding—but no one’s talking about it!

Rates of this disease are exploding—but no one’s talking about it!

I just did a search on the CDC’s website for disease statistics and noticed a huge gaping hole in their disease statistic reporting.  As you would expect, heart disease continues to claim its top spot on the mortality chart, with about 650,000 deaths in 2017 (the most recent data year).  Cancer remains number two, with 600,000 deaths. The list continues with accidents at 170,000 and lower respiratory diseases causing 160,000 deaths. But there is another...

Why you should always choose butter over margarine

Why you should always choose butter over margarine

At a recent holiday luncheon at my church, I was quickly reminded that the average person is still completely clueless about fats, particularly as they pertain to butter versus margarine. We had Italian food catered, and there was a bowl of wrapped butter pats next to the bread.  One of the women asked in a rather loud tone, “Isn’t there any margarine for the bread?  Butter is so bad for you!” Most of the congregation...

This is the #1 cause of death worldwide—are you next?

This is the #1 cause of death worldwide—are you next?

A report recently published by the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 2.6 million people die each year from medical errors, making them the number one cause of death worldwide! Most of those deaths are related to incorrect diagnosing of the patient’s condition and administering pharmaceutical products. Here in the US, medical errors kill over 251,000 Americans every year and are the third leading cause of death.  In addition to misdiagnosis and medications, “medical errors”...

Stay away from this horrible diet advice

Stay away from this horrible diet advice

As a holistic nutrition coach, when I see the downright horrible diet advice that people are given or read on “health” sites or magazines, it makes me seethe. No wonder 7 out of 10 of us are sick, overweight, and medicated. And one of the biggest problems is that many sources of this dreadful advice appear to be credible! For example, I once read an article by a registered dietician (RD) that claimed artificial sweeteners...

Why you’re not losing weight…and how to change that

Why you’re not losing weight…and how to change that

I talk to a lot of women between the ages of 40 and 65+, and the most common complaint I hear is, “I’ve tried everything, but I can’t seem to lose weight!” I have a few questions about that.  First of all, have you truly tried “everything?”  Or do you keep going back to same old diet that failed you in the past?  Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is...
