Posted on Apr 29, 2012 in Blog | 2 comments We all know that seafood is super healthy right? Loaded with beneficial essential Omega -3 fatty acids, a lean source of protein and a much healthier alternative to factory farmed meats and poultry. Its one of the darlings of the healthy eating world, along with blueberries, spinach, walnuts, and hemp seeds. But when it comes to seafood, it’s those Omega-3′s that we’re after...

When Life Gives You Lollipops

Posted on Apr 15, 2012 in Blog | 0 comments Last Friday I decided to take the afternoon off so I could spend a day with my sister-in-law Lucy, and my 3 year old niece, Phoebe. My niece is awesome – cuter than pretty much any other 3 year old I’ve ever seen (not biased here at all). She’s clever, funny, and all about being crazy silly. Poop jokes are pretty high on the list these days, with offers of pretend “poop sandwiches”,...

Do You Walk Your Talk?

Posted on Mar 14, 2012 in Blog | 1 comment Do you “walk your talk”… fully and completely? My guess is that you’re someone who has been into health and wellness for a while, right? You’ve plugged into healthy eating, lots of green veggies & fruits, cutting back or cutting out junky processed foods… you’re probably into staying fit and active. Yoga, running, pilates… or maybe a mixture....

Most Detoxes Miss The Point. Here’s Why:

Posted on Mar 8, 2012 in Blog | 3 comments This is DETOX season! Almost every health coach out there offers some sort of detox or cleanse, ranging from liquid heavy ones like the Master Cleanse and juice fasts, to super-food based ones packed with hemp seeds, kale, and sprouted seeds. Even if you don’t run your own detox program, you’ve likely participated in one yourself. As great as these detoxes or cleanses might be...

Posted on Dec 21, 2011 in Blog | 0 comments Can you believe 2012 is just over a week away?! For me, this past year has been one of tremendous growth, discovery and realignment with what’s really important to me. If you’ve been with me for a while, then you’ve probably noticed a shift in the focus of my work – from general health, wellness, and weight loss, to cracking apart the complex and confusing world of...

Want to know what scares the $**t out of me at Halloween??!

Posted on Oct 25, 2011 in Blog | 0 comments Halloween is less than one week away and by now you’re likely in the last minute scramble to stock up on treats and costumes. I live in New York City and it’s super crazy around here this time of year as the line between little kid and adult completely disappears. There’s nothing greater than getting on the subway at 10 o’clock in the morning and seeing an adult dressed up...

Holy Cow! Yesterday I stood up in front of 4000 people and dropped this bomb…

Posted on Sep 19, 2011 in Blog | 0 comments Wow, wow, wow! This past weekend, The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I received my training, hosted a student/alumni only event packed with incredible speakers and presentations – from Dr. Mark Hyman to Dr. Joel Fuhrman to the one and only Deepak Chopra.

In early August I found myself in the emergency room TWICE in one week with terrible food poisoning. If you’ve ever had food poisoning, or even a bad bout of the stomach...

I honestly can’t believe no one is talking about this…

Posted on Sep 12, 2011 in Blog | 2 comments This can be a stressful time of year – kids are back in school, routines are changing, workloads are increasing, and holidays are on the horizon. Couple that with less daylight hours, and we automatically feel compelled to try and get more done in less time. Super stressful! Healthy habits are usually the first thing to go, and frozen dinners, and take our dominate our dinners, which in...

It’s back, and it probably snuck up on you… what is it?

Posted on Sep 8, 2011 in Blog | 2 comments It’s that time of year again! “Back to School” is probably what you’re thinking, and while you’re not wrong – it’s not exactly what I’m talking about here. Has this happened to you: You worked hard all spring and early summer to get into shape for the summer season- for bathing suits and beaches, for vacations, and lots of sun. Many of you may have...

What hurdle (turtle) I got over on vacation

Posted on Aug 24, 2011 in Blog | 0 comments I just got back this past weekend from an amazing vacation in Hawaii with one of my best friends and we had a blast! I was really looking forward to some beautiful sightseeing and checking out the soft white beaches, but in all honesty, I was pretty apprehensive about the swimming part. I’ve never been a good swimmer – I’m totally uncoordinated and end up looking like a...
