    Hello friends!  The past couple weeks have gotten away with me!  The weather’s been great and I just want to go outside all day every day!  I have wanted to share some experiences with you, though so I’m gonna buckle down and stay indoors to write this down!

    I want to try to encourage everyone out there regardless of any preconceived notions you may have…to try yoga.  I’ve started to realize that I sound like a broken record at work when it comes to my clients suffering from weakness and stress induced postural...

    I was reading an old Natural Health magazine at work yesterday and wouldn’t you know…I stumbled upon this great nugget of information to help drive home the point about the importance of “de-chemical-izing” your home and body products.

    There is a book called “Slow Death By Rubber Duck; The Secret Danger of Everyday Things” by authors Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie.  I can’t wait to get my hands on it, even though it will probably freak me out.  Here’s the magazine’s original write up:

    My dear friend Lauren has been asking me to write a blog about the dangers and importance of avoiding genetically modified food.  GMO’s (genetically modified organisms) are becoming a dominant portion of our food chain, and government is quick to get behind them claiming they can help stop world hunger…but is that really true?  I could sit here and write you a novel about how far off base that thinking is, but I think I would rather inspire you in a different way today.

    If you have time this afternoon, tonight, or some time...

    I’m often fascinated when I am in other people’s houses and see what kinds of things they have in their refrigerators and freezers.  Same goes for the people next to me in line at the grocery store.  Sometimes, it’s hard not to judge.  Knowing what I know, I have to remind myself that most people simply don’t know what healthy food is.  Or they fall victim to marketing claims and sadly think they actually are making healthy choices.  I certainly didn’t start grasping the concept until my 20′s,...

    So while waiting for a client the other day I was catching up on the important information in the world via “Us” Magazine.  In it a celebrity was quoted saying she enjoys working out but hates “dieting.”  For some reason while working out myself this morning that little quote jumped back into my head and I started getting more and more upset by it.  I realized Read more »

    Hello friends!  So it has been just over a year since I made the decision to go gluten-free, and it’s definitely been one of the best decisions I’ve made in this life!  I’ve learned that there is a vast and delicious world on the other side of wheat, and one that alleviates many chronic problems.  In the past year I have not had one episode of itchy, swollen eyes that plagued me the two years prior, and I stopped getting hives on my legs that had also cropped up at the same time.  And since I have been a little girl I have...

    Hello again dear friends.  My apologies for once again dipping below the radar.  As many of you already know, three weeks ago, after 3 and a half years of courtship, Ameesh and I have decided to get a joint bank account and celebrate with a really big party.  The blessed union will take place this November, and wedding planning has already been an all-consuming pastime.  Therefore, I pre-apologize for any major lulls in writing as decisions such as centerpieces and fillet vs. salmon may be in the forefront of my mind for the next few months.

    I...

    You either want to look better or you don’t.  You either want to FEEL better or you don’t.  You either want to be healthier or you don’t.

    It’s time for all the people out there who complain about the way they look or feel to finally just DO something about it!  Everyone has an excuse.  I’m tired, I’m overworked, there aren’t enough hours in the day.  I had this conversation with my mother last night.  She’s the world’s toughest person

    I love Thanksgiving.  I love Fall, the excitement that the holidays are right around the corner, getting together with family and eating a lot of really good food.  But for many people, the holiday season can be terrifying.  The average American gains about 5 lbs over the winter.  Not 100% attributed to holiday eating, but if you think trying to eat well over the holidays is a lost cause, then that could very well be your winter weight.  We naturally crave heartier, richer foods in the winter as it is, an ancient protection mechanism for...

    I’ve recently been on this Sunshine Burger kick- can’t get enough of ‘em.  For breakfast of late, I’ve been making a couple eggs with a burger patty and it really keeps me satisfied.  They’re basically veggie and sunflower seed burgers with brown rice and seasonings.  Super tasty. I’ve been gobbling up the Southwest, Breakfast, and Garden Herb varieties.  I highly recommend.  Look for them in the freezer section in health food stores, Whole Foods, or even some regular grocery stores who are incorporating...
