Ease Into Health With Green Juice and Smoothies
The FDA recommends 3-5 servings of vegetables a day and 2-4 servings of fruit. While the US Government may not be a reliable source for dietary recommendations, I think we can all agree that there is goodness in fruit and veggies. The health benefits are endless. Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can: [...]
Fear Free Change
Change is scary, hard and annoying. Why can’t things just stay the way they are? If you’ve ever thought that about change, I think I can help you like it a little better. When we give into the fear of something new, we miss out. We miss opportunities, friendships, better health, and happier lives. Resisting [...]
Floss Every Day: mini-mission
I’ve developed many new, healthy habits over the last few years, but flossing has always been a challenge. I’ve had an on and off relationship with flossing since I’ve had teeth. I know it’s good for my teeth and gums, but knowing what’s best and doing what’s best are often two different things. This year, [...]
Simple Lentil Recipe and Happy Memories
I wasn’t shocked to learn that eating red meat significantly increases the risk of premature death, according to a long-range study that examined the eating habits and health of more than 110,000 adults for more than 20 years.

The UnDiet
I have started more diets than I can possibly write about. Because I’ve started so many times, I know I must have ended many too. The ending is never as exciting or memorable and usually I don’t even recognize when a diet is over. Sound familiar? While paying attention to our health is important, we [...]
Sleep Well: mini-mission
Ahh… if only it were that easy. I tell you to sleep well, and you do. The end. After a night of tossing and turning, the bags under your eyes are bigger, your patience is smaller and often a good day is wasted. While one night of poor sleep can make you feel zombie [...]
Come Together
If you’ve read this blog for very long, or ever checked out my about page, you know I have Multiple Sclerosis. What you might not know is that I was diagnosed while training to participate in a bike ride to raise funds for someone that I know with MS. Talk about ironic! Because of my [...]
