Many patients tell me once they dive into a box of chips or cookies, they literally can’t stop eating. Have you ever wondered why you would devour a box of cookies but you wouldn’t binge on wild salmon? The reason isn’t because you lack self-discipline or are weak-willed. You are not emotionally weak or lazy. Of the more than 600,000 food products – note I said food products, not food – 80 percent have added sugar. Those sugar-loaded foods literally become drugs: Doses of sugar and flour that hijack our metabolism and make us fat and sick. Constantly eating sugary foods causes a spike in your blood sugar which in turn, activates your brain’s pleasure center. This triggers more cravings, and drives you to seek out more and more of the substance that gives you a “high.” You become powerless against your brain’s hardwired response to seek out pleasure. No wonder you feel trapped! Food is information. Quality matters more than quantity. Weight loss and health depend far more on the type and quality of the food you eat than the calories or amount. I’ve written my new book, "Food: What the Heck Should I Eat?" to end the confusion and frustration about healthy eating. If you’re tired of hearing a certain food is good for you one day and bad for you the next, and being manipulated by the $1 trillion food industry, this book is for you. Order your copy of, "Food: What the Heck Should I Eat?" via the link in my profile.

We battle inflammation for many reasons. Inflammation can be caused by stress, lifestyle choices, food allergies or sensitivities that we may or may not know we have, and from environmental toxins, to name a few.

Some of these we can control, some we cannot. But there are definite ways we can combat the inflammation in its tracks, and a lot of those have to do with our food choices.

Some inflammation causing foods can include:
processed foods, sugar, dairy products, alcohol, fried foods. Some foods that can help fight inflammation can include: leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and brussels sprouts, pineapple, blueberries, and ginger, to name a few.
Being mindful of reducing as many of the inflammation causing foods, and replacing them with inflammation-fighting foods is a great place to start.

Do you struggle with sleep? Sometimes no matter how much we dream of a good night's sleep, our bodies have other plans.

I’m sure you are well aware of what NOT to drink to disrupt your sleep... like a big, hot, delicious cup of coffee. But do you know what you SHOULD drink to help you catch some Zzz’s? Here are some of my favorite drinks that are helpful for drifting off to sleep:

* Sleepytime Tea. There are many different brands to choose from that you can find at any grocery store, so pick one up and give it a try.

* Golden milk. It's also great for your overall health too! Golden milk is so versatile and can be easily made vegan by using plant-based choices.

* Tart Cherry Juice. Naturally a source of melatonin which helps promote healthy sleep.

* Magnesium. Helps to promote great sleep, and is also helpful for digestion.

* Melatonin. Easy to take whether it be drops or a tablet you dissolve under your tongue.

So tell me, what do you do to get a great night's sleep?

No matter how hard we try, curveballs will always find a way to sneak in. It’s an inevitability of life, and that’s perfectly fine — if we are prepared to handle them!

This season especially can feel hectic, rushed, overbooked and anxiety-ridden. So it’s the perfect time to put your focus on how you handle these stressors of life and make some tweaks to improve any areas that need a pick-me-up.

The thing about a worrisome mind is that it’s typically worrying about the future. This makes it extremely hard to be present, so being conscious of this is crucial. Practice being present and mindful of your current moment, the day you’re in right now, and with practice, you’ll notice the stress of tomorrow will dissipate over time.

Sometimes, when I feel particularly anxious, I focus on each of my senses. What do I smell right now? What do I see right now? What do I hear right now?

This brings you to the present moment and helps snap you out of your anxious thoughts.

Try it, it really works! What are your favorite ways to overcome anxious thoughts?

With cold and flu season upon us it’s so important to take care of ourselves. Echinacea and Goldenseal together make a dynamic duo in fighting off infections, the natural way. If we can avoid antibiotics and over the counter medicines we are so much better off.

🌱 Echinacea activates immune fighters during a cold, flu, or infection. These defenders work to engulf and rid your body of virus-infected cells, bacteria, and toxic wastes.

🌿 Goldenseal can help to control the inflammatory process. The immune system, believe it or not, can be inhibited if there is too much inflammation. Goldenseal can also help bring more blood into areas that are infected, thereby helping the body go through the infection much faster.

I use this every time I feel something coming on and, knock on wood, so far so good. Let’s take care of ourselves this winter!
