If You Hate to Diet, Check This Out!
If you hate to diet, read this There are a couple of recurring themes I hear from people when I try (and I always try) to impress upon them the importance to their long-term health and well-being of switching to a healthier, cleaner diet. Those themes are: I hate to diet; I don’t want to give up the foods I love; and how do I get started…it’s so hard to change! I’m glad you asked, because we’re going to talk about these three challenges in this post! First, I understand you hate to diet. No one enjoys it. Garfield once pointed out that diet is “Die with a T”…Dieting screams misery…

Coffee, good or bad?
Coffee, good or bad? If you’re a coffee lover but want to eat and drink to stay healthy, all the reports and information on coffee are so conflicting and confusing! Some say drink it, it helps you stay healthy and keeps your brain sharp, and other reports say to stay away…it stimulates the production of cortisol which causes inflammation and contributes to disease and premature aging. So, the question remains…coffee, good or bad? Dr. Mark Hyman, one of my favorite nutritional gurus, wrote a fantastic post on this very subject titled Is Coffee Good or Bad for You? In it, he writes, “In a recent animal study, researchers saw improvements…

Yes, what you eat can actually make you a more productive person! Here’s one of my…

Eat for Productivity- You’ll Be Surprised at the Difference it Makes!
Eat for Productivity Do you remember the song “Dem Bones” with the words, ”The ankle bone’s connected to the leg bone; the leg bone’s connected to the knee bone” and so on?

Pat Summitt and Alzheimer’s Disease – How is Your Brain Health??
Pat Summitt and Alzheimer’s Disease I want to address Pat Summitt and Alzheimer’s Disease. Pat Summitt coached more winning college basketball games than any other coach in college basketball history… men’s or women’s! Pat succumbed to early onset Alzheimer’s Disease last week at the age of 64. She had been diagnosed 5 years ago at the age of 59, but continued to coach despite doctor’s warnings she should retire immediately. Pat Summit was one tough lady, but it makes me wonder about our world today and why so many of us are being stricken with Alzheimer’s and dementia. My own mother died of end stage dementia, and I can tell…

BPA and you…this is a crucial read for your future health!
BPA and You BPA and You…If we tested you for BPA, would you test positive? 93% of us would! Can you believe it? 93% of us!! If you think that’s not important, allow me to put that into perspective. BPA (bisphenol A) is an endocrine-disrupting industrial chemical. In the vernacular, that means BPA messes with your hormones. Let’s discuss what BPA does to us and who should avoid exposure to it, how BPA is used and what products contain BPA, and what to look for if you want to avoid exposure to BPA (I’ll give you a great resource to use to find out if your favorite products contain BPA).…

SAM-e…for me, it was a miracle…
SAM-e…is it that good? Yes, yes it is! I forgot SAM-e is great for your joints! It helps with transulfuration which is the process that produces healthy connective tissue. It supports critical components of that connective tissue by aiding in the production of L-cysteine, an amino acid and other components which are needed to make cartilage, ligaments, tendons and bone. It’s so important to maintain our joint strength and flexibility as we get older, and this helps immensely. I was so focused before on taking SAM-e to help my depression I completely forgot this benefit. Another benefit is improved liver function. SAM-e aids in the production of glutathione which helps…
