Our culture likes to promote the idea that “health is the greatest wealth” with all kinds of folksy sayings like, “If you have your health, then you have everything.” But do we really mean it? Do YOU value your own health? Really? Most people don’t, as we know...
Accomplishing new feats is always an adventure! And it makes me proud to help my clients achieve new goals and try new things 🙂 One of my nutrition clients, Courtney Kanagi, completed her first DEKA Strong this month and did an amazing job at it!! See HERE. DEKA was...
Your core muscles are some of the hardest-working in your body, and almost all of us make their job even harder every day! Over time, that can have a surprisingly big impact on how you feel from your energy and mood to even your digestion and overall...
Almost everyone wants to look younger. In our culture, aging is viewed with the same contempt as gaining weight. “Well, she looks good – for her age,” is a common back-handed compliment. And people spend millions of dollars every year on everything from face...
Starting something – ANYTHING – is often the hardest part. But if you can just take action, one little first step, it gets easier. This, my friends, isn’t a self-help platitude. IT’S SCIENCE! Remember Sir Isaac Newton? He said a body at rest tends to stay that way,...

Cancer doesn't have a cure yet but there's a way we can stop it. Too many people lose their lives to this deadly disease because they didn't detect it at the time. Early detection is the best weapon we have against cancer at the moment, if it is discovered early...
Studies show that 68% of people don't complete one New Year's Resolution, let alone accomplishing anything worthwhile in a year, even when they make so many resolutions. That's scary! Considering how much we intend to do at the beginning of each year. Here's an...
If you are like me, working out without a challenge gets boring, like building a new car and never taking it out for a spin to see what it's truly capable of. Do you think so, too? If you said yes! Then it's time to add a fun event to your life (: No matter where you...
