One day I received a message that could only have come from God. The question I’d asked on that particular day was: How can I prevent myself from getting cancer? A month earlier I’d had an ultrasound which turned up something the radiologist felt was suspicious: ”a conspicuous lobule not previously visualized.” I then had […]

The human body is a magnificent example of intelligent engineering. We are our own living, breathing pharmacy, creating and timing the secretion of various hormones, neurotransmitters, and enzymes…we’re a living construction company, with specialized teams of genes composing proteins for the building and repair of organs and bones. The environmental cues we process per second, […]

I was recently asked by a friend how to avoid holiday weight gain. I can definitely empathize. This wouldn’t be so hard if the holidays were simply a day or two of feasting in November and then again in December. But the holiday season has become a 2 month food free-for-all, and getting through it […]

You’re not only human. You’re also a soul having a human experience. Your body is the vehicle through which your soul expresses its unique gifts and talents; your body is how your soul gets things done here on the material plane.

You’re a die-hard meat-repelling plant eater (Birkenstocks and tie-dye optional). And all the appropriate meat-free lifestyle bumper stickers have proudly decorated your Subaru […]

This is a great savory salad with fresh herbs and a tangy mayo dressing. It’s fun to grow your own organic herbs, but you can also buy them pretty easily year-round at most supermarkets. This is not your usual chicken salad…it packs a healthy phytochemical punch that can be great for your health. You can […]

Cue up some fizzy drinks and dramatic music, because I’m about to yank the curtain back on the secret to lifelong weight maintenance. Is it shocking? No. Big and impressive? Ha. It’s boring. As in, 100% guaranteed not to go viral.  It’s something we routinely overlook in search of the latest trending fast fix. And […]

One night I really wanted something more filling than my usual salad. I also wanted to try out my new 7” Xtrema skillet.  This recipe is the result. I’ve made it a few times now and it’s great: strong on the greens, low carb, and still delivers on the side of comfort food when you […]

I’m in favor of the flexible, self-directed approach espoused by proponents of intuitive eating. (1) In fact, it could be said that I eat intuitively. I eat when I’m hungry, and stop when I’m not. I only eat foods I like, and I choose what I feel my body needs at the time. When someone […]
