We All Feel Stress
Stress is a part of life for each and every one of us. Some stresses are small and seem insignificant while others can be overwhelming. Waking up in the morning, eating and exercising creates stress on your body but these are some of the good ones. The ones that I’m writing about are the stresses…
What’s Stopping You?
Sometimes admitting what’s stopping you is hard and it’s just easier to say, “I’m OK with the way I look and feel” or “I can’t lose weight because….” What if you really looked deep and learned that it’s uncertainty, fear or even despair holding you back? Would that upset you or cause shame? I wonder…
Solutions
The absolute best thing about a problem is the solution! Whether it’s BIG or small, finding and implementing a solution to a problem feels good. Reaching the point where the problem is solved feels great! When you come across a road block and your navigation system re-routes you still arrive at your destination – problem…
What I.F?
This is a question of, “What if we could eat whatever we want yet still look and feel fit and healthy?” That works if you naturally choose whole and healthy food most of the time without deprivation or over indulgence. In a nutshell that is what I’m referring to and I’ll define it after a…

It might seem simple but it isn’t and the sad reality is that the general public places trust in food manufacturers when they don’t always deserve it. Many of you know that ingredients are listed in order of quantity in the food item. For example,…

There are, however, some widely accepted truths regarding nutrition. Whole foods like fruits and veggies are nutrient dense and…
Competition
One of my all time favorite songs is Peace of Mind by Boston because it’s so uplifting and grounding all at once. When listening to (and singing along of course) I consider the line, “People living in competition. All I want is to have my peace of mind.” Why compete with other’s is what I…
It’s Up To You!
Your health and fitness (amongst other things) is ultimately up to you. Of course you can outsource specialized information and care from doctors and health professionals ranging from holistic medicine to fitness coaches and everyone in between.
