boo! how safe is your home?

Soon enough, goblins, ghosts, witches and others will be ringing your doorbell begging for a treat. As hard as it is to believe, Halloween is just around the corner! And while I personally love handing out candy to the little ones, I have to remind myself every year to make sure my home is safe for the trick-or-treaters. What a nasty trick to play on them to have a loose doorstep. And moreover, what a... read more

eat breakfast- lose weight

My nutritionist told me a long time ago that you can drop weight and reduce fat by eating a high-fat breakfast which kicks your fat-burning metabolism into high gear.  A low-fat, high-carb breakfast increases appetite and causes you to hold on to fat. Dr. Al Sears, MD, owner of The Center for Health and Wellness an integrative medicine and anti-aging clinic in south Florida recently wrote a blog... read more

a healthy blood mary

Nothing like a fresh, home-made Bloody Mary by the beach, or by anything for that matter, to kick off a weekend morning.  If you find yourself consuming Bloody Mary’s at work, instead of coffee, you either have a really cool office or you’re pushing the “they won’t fire me” routine. Most store-bought Bloody Mary mixes tend to be loaded with salt, sugar, preservatives and all sorts of crap.  In... read more

vitamin D for men

Okay, this is a huge health tip I’m going to pass along.  It’s probably one of the most important things I’ve learned from my nutritionist. Many Americans falsely believe they get sufficient Vitamin D in milk or through their multivitamin, and that’s good enough.  Or, they feel spending some time in the sunshine will do the trick.  Well, the truth is… unless you’re a nudist and spend 30... read more

who’s caring for you

As a Life Coach, I find that most of my clients have one thing in common. They’re so busy taking care of everyone else and their needs that they neglect to take care of themselves. Over-giving is a sign of deprivation, a signal that a need isn’t being met or an emotion isn’t being expressed or a void isn’t getting filled. Whether we want to admit this or not, it leaves us angry and frustrated! Why... read more
