Friends! Help me spread health, wellness, performance optimization, and overcoming pain, injury and other challenging health issues to others

Corporate Healthcare is not cutting it…expenses, insurance premiums and deductibles, drugs, and reductionist views of the human body are outweighing any improvements in the health of our society.

We need to change the direction of healthcare towards understanding and treating the human body as a whole…not individual parts and pieces.

I write, post and share insights, personal stories and stories from clinic that fuel my passion for improving the state of healthcare.

Be the change…join me.

Ahh…we absolutely enjoyed our Thanksgiving treats…and we’re ready to get back to a lighter dinner!

Fresh greens with roasted brussels, sweet potatoes, parsnips, cauliflower, and a drizzle of Chilean extra virgin olive oil.

When there are sweets in my house, someone will eat or drink them. We struggle with willpower so it’s just better to toss it!

My dad constantly beings over sweets for my kids, once he leaves, so do they. I used to feel bad about throwing away food…but my family’s health is more important.

It’s hard being human…sometimes pushing the edge is an important reminder WHY we choose to eat well…🙄

Train yourself to read the fine print…I teach this skill in the Power of Food Reset Program.

Even supposed “healthy” foods, drinks, and supplements are loaded with chemicals, preservatives, sugar, syrups, and other nasty ingredients that wreak havoc on our cells and tissues…

I need a magnifying glass for this one. My boy was exploring the supplement du jour…creatine.

I’m not there yet…
#1 most people are missing foundational aspects of their nutrition, then being sold a supplement will fix everything.

#2 I look through the lens of “as nature intended”, does this support my biology?

#3 There is no one size fits all, what is good, what may be good for one may not be good for another. Pay attention to the messages your body gives you.

#4 I haven’t had time to research it yet

Be an educated, informed consumer of healthcare. 💪

There is NO one size fits all when it comes to taking care our ourselves. In this next phase of my health, I am working on understanding how my glucose responds to food, stress, and exercise, with the goal of supporting my metabolism, my liver, my pancreas, and my brain...
