I love the slogan, “Strong is the New Skinny,” so much I had T-shirts made as gifts for my female, strength-training Clients. As modern gals, we do it all these days: career, family, AND we have lives of our...

Are you Clean about your KETO or just talking Dirty?
The Ketogenic Diet is a strategic macronutrient distribution of daily food intake designed to switch the body’s metabolic state from Glycolysis, whereby glucose from carbohydrate intake fuels the body’s energy needs, to Ketosis, whereby fat is burned for fuel in...
Coconut Oil
Are you Nuts? For some folks, I recommend starting each day with a 20-gram shot of saturated fat. Then, I may suggest they repeat that decadence at least one more time that same day. Sound nuts? Many people...
Napping during Child’s Pose?
Falling into a deep sleep during my Slow Flow yoga practice proved to me that even my efforts to establish ‘balance’ in my life were over-exhaustive. Between two young children, an emotionally-needy dog, a welcoming home, a small (but growing)...

Over 50? Discover the Fountain of Youth!
Why do some think of being a part of the “50+ crowd” as off-putting, when maybe we should relish the glory? I hope to have figured out all that eludes me in the next ten years, but I’ll settle for growing to a point where I don’t care about the unimportant problems! Maybe I’ll have time to “ponder” again; a fragile privilege taken for granted by the careless under 30s. Ten years from now, my parenting obligations will be “legally” optional and I can opt to join this coveted, almost mythical group which revels in being infinitely wiser than the 40-somethings.
