I recently read something from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition on simplifying your life. It struck a chord with me because I realized many of us are walking around like zombies. We like things, we have MANY things, our houses are cluttered, and in turn so are our minds. Have I told you about one…
The other day I found myself reaching for the muffins. How did this happen? My nutrition used to be so on point that I didn’t even crave sweets. My body barely recognized what working out was after a few weeks off. For me, it has been a multitude of things. I acknowledge that and I…
People be like . . . Let’s get healthy! Time to get healthy! Live a healthier life! And you’re thinking . . . Wait? I’m not healthy? These fat free chips aren’t healthy? This whole wheat bread isn’t good for me? But this ice-cream is sugar free!! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?! So here’s the…

The average person has roughly 50,000 thoughts per day. If I only had a dollar for every thought 🙂 Of those 50,000 thoughts, 80% are negative. Over 75% of those thoughts are not new. Which means we have been repeating them to ourselves for years. Since you are what you think about… well… you do…
In my last post, I talked about a book that I absolutely love, E-squared by Pam Grout. In the book Pam guides you through 9 experiments that prove that we are all forces of energy and that what we think about we essentially bring about. If you are someone who is iffy about the law…
Happy New Year’s Eve!! WOOO.. I can’t believe 2015 is so close. This year went by as fast as those Fast & Furious sequels come out. (That’s fast!) So you are probably knee deep in year end shit. Trying to think of resolutions, deciding whether you accomplished everything you wanted to in 2014, and making…
‘Twas the night before Christmas (or Hanukkah) and all through the house…everyone was eating, drinking, and and probably arguing. You know the scene. How do you not get sucked in? How do you avoid the petty arguments, the 5 I’ll-just-eat-my-feelings-cookies, and all that wine. You see these things aren’t just bad for your physical body,…
I have this conversation with my clients, often. They want to work out and eat well but they lack the motivation. They want to go for their dreams but fear is holds them back. Can you relate? Do you ever wake up lacking the motivation to even get out of bed? We all do. It’s…
