Let’s face it: many, many people eat for reasons other than being hungry. In fact, I think I could count the number of clients who honestly didn’t eat for any other reason other than their body telling them it was time to fuel up on one hand. Whether you’re eating less than ideal foods at […]
Read More ›We choose to nourish our body with real, Paleo food. We nourish our bodies by engaging in regular physical activity. Let’s not forget one really important thing- nourishing our spirits and our hearts, by ‘doing unto others’. Let’s keep in mind that not all of us can access fresh food or safe places to […]
Read More ›I know, carrots aren’t exactly the most exotic or exiting things to snack on, but just hear me out (can I still use that phrase if I’m writing?). Given that things are particularly busy (it’s crunch time in terms of last minute holiday things!), and given that cooking and food prep can often take a […]

To think of what people are going to come up with…you may have think you’ve seen it all once you’ve witnessed chocolate covered bacon, glanced at a package of chocolate covered kale chips, or checked […]

We’re conditioned to start the day with cereal, bagels or oatmeal as the ‘healthy’ choices and […]
Read More ›Just don’t call it that…depending on who your crowd is, of course! It’s alluring to some and off-putting to others who may not understand what it’s really about… While hosting a holiday party is clearly more time intensive than attending one, the beauty of doing so is that you’re in complete control of what’s being […]
Read More ›Eating, drinking and celebrating are only a part of the holidays…what about decorating? Taking the focus away from baking (or buying) treats and eating them and redirecting it to other festive activities can prove quite an effective tool for keeping spirits in the Christmas mood!
