Healthy Living


Not everyone likes to set goals. Mostly because a lot of people fail to take action on their goals. Some people have a hard time determining who or what they want to be and accomplish in an entire year. Your goals can change and grow during the year as you change and grow, as long as you are making time to re-evaluate and are taking action to achieve your goals. Inaction on goals creates broken dreams.

It is time for many to think about resolutions and new goals and changing lifestyles. It is a […]

#NewYearNewYou


They say all the time that health is a continual journey. I have really seen that for myself this year. If has taken me 35 years to get to this place.

I am often asked for a magic pill in weight loss. To be honest, they exist. But I […]

The Magic Pill



Most of us developed bad relationships with food and bad habits surrounding food without ever realizing what was happening. Now as adults, we need to undo our bad habits. As I help others make healthy lifestyle changes, I am also trying to teach my own children to have healthy relationships with things, like food and money and working out, so that they never find themselves in the situations my clients are in as they age.

I had a great conversation the other day about our habits, and frankly about our unhealthy relationships with […]
