    I’d Rather Wake Up to Coffee Cake and Good Food Choices

    I’d rather wake up to coffee cake…I recently received an email from a very popular cooking show saying, “Wake up to coffee cake, apple fritters, etc.”  It made me realize that it truly is all about good food choices. I’ll be honest with you.  I would love to wake up to coffee cake and apple fritters, but then I would be depressed again, probably fighting the pounds and inviting a host of oncoming chronic illnesses that would make me miserable now and in the coming years. If coffee cake and fritters aren’t on the breakfast menu, what in the world is?  Delicious food and good food choices, that’s what!  I’ve…

    Eye Area – Is yours in good shape?

    How is your eye area…this isn’t just for the ladies out there… When we talk about skin care, the assumption is the subject is for women.  Increasingly however, men are taking better care of their skin including their eye area, and so it should be! One universal caution when buying any creams, lotions and/or cosmetics or any personal care products for that matter is to please keep in mind that your skin is your largest organ;  it’s critical to your long term health that you use products made with good quality ingredients on your skin.  A general rule of thumb I use for myself is to note if it is…

    Losing Weight

    What about losing weight and Hara Hachi Bu? You need to know what I know…I don’t say that to be arrogant.  I say it because I desperately want to help so many people.

What does that mean, and how can it help? Hara Hachi Bu is a…

    Taking an antidepressant? You’re one of millions!

    Taking an antidepressant? More than 30 million people in this country, 1 in 7 women, and 20% of women over the age of 40 are taking an antidepressant. We are told depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain; but what if that is not always the case?  What if the root cause of our depression is often something we have complete control over?  What if it’s caused by inflammation triggered by our diet, our environment and our lack of movement? I sense two results if the preceeding question is true.  First, we have tremendous power over how we feel mentally and physically, which is very exciting; and…

    What Do Sugar and Cocaine Have In Common?

    What Do Sugar and Cocaine Have In Common? Here’s a scary fact for you to ponder… When scientists took MRI images of the brains of people consuming sugar and highly addictive drugs like cocaine, the same pleasure centers in the brain started lighting up. Sounds pretty, scary, doesn’t it? But what does the similarity between sugar and cocaine actually mean for your brain and your overall health? First of all, sugar is truly addictive. What that means to you is that consuming sugar will alter your brain chemistry, and over time you will start to crave more and more sugar. The urge for your next sweet “fix” comes more frequently,…
