In today’s blog, I’m so excited to share an interview with my friend Dale Solomon of Oasia Farms. He has an interesting journey to becoming a farmer and grows a superfood that not many have heard of, but I know you will love learning about. “Dale, I know you started out in engineering. Can you share what got you interested in growing and selling fresh spirulina? That’s quite a change!” “Throughout my years in college I was deeply invested in environmental work, specifically combatting climate change. I immersed myself in a green ecosystem (no pun intended) through a number of university clubs ..read more

Get plenty of proper rest each day. 7-8 hours between the hours of 10pm-6am is best.  Our immune system can’t do its job when we’re fatigued. Stay well hydrated with 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water each day.  Start your day with a glass of water with 1/2 lemon squeezed into it.  The vitamin C provided an immunity boost AND supports liver detoxification. Reduce processed, refined foods and eat MORE fresh fruits, vegetables and whole foods. Reduce or eliminate refined sugar and alcohol. The body receives these as toxins and for your lovely body to do its job and remove the toxins, it dep ..read more

Each day we are inundated by messages telling us to resist or avoid aging. The anti-aging movement is found in beauty products, foods, beverages, supplements and in information heard every day on television, social media and online.

Have you ever come home feeling like you now NEED a vacation from your vacation?! Vacations can be relaxing, fun and exciting. Wonderful memories and experiences are created when we travel.

In my coaching practice, I speak with women suffering from low energy, aches, pains, inflammation, thyroid issues, adrenal fatigue, migraines, hormonal issues, digestive issues, stubborn weight gain, depression, anxiety, side effects from taking multiple prescriptions for different ailments…and sadly this list is not exhaustive. These women come seeking nutritional guidance, health or lifestyle education and emotional support.  Unfortunately, too often I hear versions of the following sentiments… “I’ll be ready to focus on my health in a few months. I’m JUST too busy right now to focus on myse ..read more

Most Americans eat at least one meal a day in the car or at their desk. Our modern day busy, and technology-filled lives invite near constant multi-tasking.  According to a Harvard study done in 2013, eating while watching TV increased food intake by at least 50%. The same is likely true for eating while driving or working, surfing the internet or scrolling through social media.   In this state of distracted busyness, it becomes all too easy to ignore the body and its true hunger signals which then leads to low blood sugar. When we finally do eat, it’s from a place of depletion and distr ..read more
