Time… why does it seem that there’s never enough of it? After all, there are 86,400 seconds or 1,440 minutes or 24 hours in a day, and most days it’s not enough, right?! But, what would be enough? Twice that, an extra hour, I’m not sure that there would ever be enough time to do what you and I want to get accomplished. Time is the one thing that no amount of money can buy, […]

We’ve all been to the doctor, sat down at their desk or stretched out on the observation table and shared how you’re feeling and what your symptoms and concerns are.

It might be an ultrasound, Xray, CT scan or MRI to work as superman xray vision to see you on […]
Why me, why her/him and not me? Why does it seem so much easier for others to lose the weight, stick to the program, to get up and go to the gym, basically anything that you see others having success in. “Why not me” is a narrative that can weigh you down, keep you stuck and hold you back from feeling incredible and having the life that you want.

A good friend of mine, once had the note on his WhatsApp as BE INTENTIONAL. As he’s a wildly successful entrepreneur and coach, that phrase has stayed with me, although I haven’t always practiced it. Rather than the start of the year resolutions, I always set intentions. What I will be working towards, what I set my sights on and then head in that direction. I’m well aware that even with the best of intentions, […]
Drum roll, cue the fireworks and marching band because this is what 100 sounds like! Chris, I feel like there should be a letter from the Queen or something! I remember listening to the first wooewoooohoooehooo and every time I hear it, I get this grin on my face that’s part enjoyment and part, I can’t believe it. From topics like sugar is evil to the vagus nerve, intermittent fasting, keto, paleo, mediterranean diet, food […]
Have you ever come across an acronym that you just couldn’t figure out? A colleague at work shared with me that he had just learned what LMAO stood for. How about diets? Sure there’s the DASH diet (dietary approach to stopping hypertension), the GAPS diet or gut and psychology diet, but what about the FODMAP diet? Ever heard of that one?

While it’s not a usual to talk about anal itching, vaginal itching, jock itch, athletes food, crusty itchy skin amongst friends, that’s the kind of thing that we talk about here. How about bloating, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, that white coating on your tongue, recurrent vaginal infections and thrush, yet another urinary tract infection, chronic ear infections, brain fog, crappy sleep, fatigue, carb cravings, anxiety, inability to lose weight, headaches and migraines, eczema, psoriasis, dandruff, GERD […]
