YOUR HEALTH Our feet carry us wherever we want to go. We often take them for granted until they hurt, and when our feet hurt, we aren’t happy campers. In my 20s, I got frost bite up to my ankles from ice fishing. I’m lucky the only consequence was collapsed arches, but I’ve been dealing […]

YOUR HEALTH If you have trained with me or attended any of my fitness classes, you know I am a water Nazi. I not only encourage drinking water but carve out breaks during sessions and classes to ensure everyone can hydrate. During any type of exercise, it is critical to remain properly hydrated as our […]

YOUR HEALTH Inflammation continues to rise to the top of the list for causing diseases. When in balance, inflammation is an essential immune response within the human body.

Listen to Your Gut – Trust You To Take Care of You
Having gone misdiagnosed for six years with Lyme disease, I am no stranger to the frustration of our medical system. I was told my illness was in my head for years. Meanwhile, I kept getting worse with crippling pain and deformity. Eventually, I found a healthcare provider willing to listen, test, and work toward getting […]
Let’s Be Real
I don’t know what rock I have been living under, but I have never seen any of the Tyler Perry Madea movies. I really like the movies I’ve seen Perry in, so when Madea’s Family Reunion was on television (came out in 2006), I sat down to watch it. These movies have done so well […]

YOUR HEALTH Happy Easter! In honor of this holiday, I thought I would share some EGGcelent information about the good ol’ egg! Every once in a while, eggs get a bad rap, but science has proven time and again how beneficial eggs are in our diet. First, they are a superb source of simple, lean […]

YOUR HEALTH Most people have already given up on their New Year’s resolutions. Whether you call them resolutions or goals, you set yourself up to fail if you do not know the why behind them. For such a small word, “why” has a big punch. It can be the difference between huge success […]
