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?

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…

Diet, Exercise and Confidence are Connected
How Diet, Exercise, and Confidence Are Connected Do you struggle with not feeling confident? Diet, exercise and confidence are connected, and while therapy and coaching can help, it may also be of great benefit to address your diet and exercise schedules.

Here are some thoughts as to why that may be true. * Body image – While exercising won’t necessarily result in the perfect body, it does tend to give you a sense that you are being proactive about your health; you’re doing the right thing and working toward getting fit.

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…

Health Benefits of Omega-3 and Omega-6
What are the Health Benefits of Omega-3 and Omega-6 and How They are Different The health benefits of omega-3 and omega-6 are many! These essential fatty acids are not produced by the body and must be obtained through our diet. Omega-3 and 6 are used for growth and repair in our bodies as well as for making other fatty acids needed such as DHA. Very basically, mega 3 sources developed in the sea. Omega 6 sources are from plant seeds, meat, and dairy foods. By eating seed oils, oily fish such as salmon, and meat, eggs, and dairy foods, we can support our bodies’ needs for these raw materials.

Glenn Frey Rheumatoid Arthritis Battle
Glenn Frey Rheumatoid Arthritis BattleGlenn Frey Rheumatoid Arthritis Battle This week, the dilemma of inflammation in our American diet and the damage prescription medications do to us on a regular basis was driven home by the Glenn Frey Rheumatoid Arthritis Battle… by the passing of Eagles co-founder Glenn Frey at the young age of 67. I loved the Eagles. In the 70’s, I loved their songs and their harmonies; I loved Glenn’s voice, and I thought he was a hottie, so he was always my favorite Eagle. For the past 15 years, he had struggled with RA (rheumatoid arthritis) which for a guitarist, must have been the cruelest of maladies. He…

Are You Confused About How to Read Food Labels?
Are You Confused About How to Read Food Labels? My next live event will be held this coming Wednesday. The topic, by request from an attendee from my November event, is how to read food labels. I thought it was a great topic as there’s so much confusion and misinformation about how to read food labels. I wish I could say the confusion created by food companies is unintentional… The simple fact is that the front of a package is advertising. It’s marketing, and what most people don’t realize is that it doesn’t have to be specific or really be the truth. The front of the package or box can scream…
