What is your relationship, or do you have one, with meditation? Mine is definitely off/ on one. I started meditating when over 14 years ago. I began with Deepak Chopra’s 21-day meditation challenge and I stuck to it. Deepak would put out these 21-day challenges throughout the year and it truly did change my life. I was married at the time and it helped me realized the toxic relationship that I was in, and how […]

EP 134 – Eat This: Preventing and managing diabetes

Possibly not as scary as the C word, but hearing a diagnosis of the big D or diabetes or even pre-diabetes from your doctor can send patients into a tailspin.

We’ve all likely had a knock to the head at some point in our lives, and ended up with a sore noggin for a bit, whether it is a bruise to the flesh or a nagging headache.

EP 106 – Eat This: Time Management

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, […]
