    Side Effects of Statins – Here’s one side effect nobody is talking about… There’s a lot of talk about the side effects of statins.  I am definitely not a fan of these drugs…lipitor just about killed my husband, Rob.  He had almost every side effect they list (even in the teeny tiny mice type writing…you know, the side effects they really don’t want you to read)…from muscle tissue pain and weakness to elevated sugar levels to brain fog and so on. Check out this article!  It begins by saying, “While the psychological side effects of drugs are often overlooked, they can present serious problems. Such is the case with statins,…

    Popular Beauty Products Contain Suspicious Chemicals – are you using them?

    Popular Beauty Products Contain Suspicious Chemicals If you use cosmetics, you really need to read this…  It’s titled “The 5 Suspect Ingredients That Could Cost the Beauty Industry $20 Million”, and it talks about how popular beauty products contain suspicious chemicals. Many years ago, I was looking through a TV Guide at my parents’ house, and noticed an “ad” talking about how rabbits were used for cosmetic testing.  I had no clue, and this was the beginning of me taking notice of cosmetics and how they were made. A client sent me a link to a wonderful post that I feel is so important to your health and well being that I want…

    Increase Productivity Naturally…what are you eating today?

    Increase Productivity Naturally I just read a fascinating article in the Harvard Business Review, and I couldn’t wait to share it with you! It’s about how to increase productivity naturally. We all know food affects us in many ways. Our food choices dictate in large part our health, our longevity, and how we feel on a daily basis.  In this article, a study published just this month in the British Journal of Health Psychology was discussed; it really drives home how important our food choices are for our mental state and how important they are for our productivity!  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?  It’s so true; everything is connected.  Your gut, your heart, your brain.  Food choices affect how your organs perform and ultimately, your food choices affect your productivity.  If you’re an entrepreneur, this is big news, and you want to pay close attention and be sure to eat for productivity! Think for a minute about times when you’re really sharp and productive and times when you struggle.  What did you eat before you worked at peak performance; what did…

    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…

    How Diet, Exercise, and Confidence Are Connected Do you struggle with not feeling confident?

    Monsanto Wrongful Death Suit…do you use Roundup??

    Monsanto Wrongful Death Suit This is a really interesting article I wanted to share with you.  It’s about a widow who has filed a Monsanto Wrongful Death Suit. In part, it reads: “Teri McCall of Cambria, California, lost her husband of 40 years, Anthony “Jack” McCall, to terminal cancer in December 2015. For nearly 30 years on his 20-acre fruit and vegetable farm, Jack had used Monsanto’s herbicide, Roundup. Now, Teri has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Monsanto Co., alleging that Monsanto had known for years that exposure to glyphosate—the main ingredient in the agribusiness giant’s flagship weedkiller Roundup—could cause cancer and other serious illnesses or injuries. And she just might…
