Want to talk to you this week about an overlooked aspect of training and fitness. That being the frequency with which you train. You might have heard doctors or so called experts touting the benefits of “getting out there” 3 X/ week for an hour, or something along those lines. Frankly, for general health and [...]
Last week I started a conversation addressing the potential reasons why you don’t feel like exercising. This post is about reason number 2….medications. Alright, another one of these double edged swords…or is it? If you go the old school train of thought which is do exactly what your doctor says no matter what, then there [...]
Yeah, I know. You might think that’s a bit of an overstatement…but is it? Here’s the deal…our bodies were meant to move, and move well. I would love to sit down with someone who would argue otherwise. They were not meant to feel lethargic, achy, toxic to the brim as many of us feel all [...]
A lot of people have been asking me to elaborate about the detox program that was in the flyer insert on in my last newsletter. In a nutshell, it’s kind of the same premise (simply put…cleaning you out) as all the other detox programs out there, just a lot healthier to do. Most of the [...]

OK, I’ve been a big slacker bum the last month. I know you got used to these blog posts every week, and they’ve been few and far between for a little while now. Writers block…that’s all I can say. Hey, I’m entitled to a little time to clear my mind right? Heck, all you need [...]
A few months ago I wrote a blog post comparing some of your favorite foods. This post is a continuation of that article, focusing on some foods that I often get asked questions about. A few of these more specific ones you gals stumped me with on our grocery tours, so I did a little [...]
