Am I Crazy? Candida Cleansing While Quarantined

Ever Thought Candida Might be Your Problem? - Being stuck in my house, eating (okay, I’m going to admit it) less than 100% nutritious foods, I have been once again forced to come to terms with a flare-up of candida. Have you heard of it?

Are there foods that can Strengthen My Immune System?

Last week we talked about what we needed to watch out for, what we needed to support our immune system with lifestyle-wise. What about the foods we eat? Did you know there are several foods that can support a healthy immune system response and help your body fight a good fight against viruses and bacteria including the presently dreaded COVID-19?

Do you need to Boost your Immune System? - We are being bombarded with tips on washing hands, wearing masks and protecting ourselves from the outside to prevent the spread of COVID 19. But did you know there are some things you can be doing, while self-isolating, to build your immune system? Some things to help just in case you are exposed to this dangerous virus?

COVID 19, Self-Isolation, Quarantine – How Are You Coping?

How Are You Doing? Really Doing?

It’s been two LONG weeks. Two weeks of working from home, kids home from school, parents attempting to educate their kiddos and maintain some kind of normal. How is everyone doing? Have you had a chance to evaluate how well you and your family are coping? This is a whole lot of change all at one time and now might be the perfect time to take a good look at what kind of coping mechanisms you are using to offset some of the building stress.

Are you Struggling to Maintain Weight Loss? Here's Why!

Why maintaining Weight can be HARD!

There is a good deal of preparation that goes into changing your lifestyle and your food choices, maybe even your activities when you start to think about losing weight. How much thought goes into how to maintain that weight loss you worked so hard to achieve? Usually very little. I have personally NEVER heard of a weight-maintenance plan being offered. Well, until now…

Want to Live Longer? Here's What You Need!

Live Longer AND Live Well Longer - There is a misconception out there that our health has improved because we are living longer. If you look at the statistics for Canada in 1970 the average lifespan was almost 73 years and as of 2019, that number has risen to 80 years for males and 84 years for females. But the question must be asked, are we living WELL longer?

The Power of Visualization

January is just about to end and I’m curious about how the first month of the next decade has gone for you? I have made a little headway on my own goals and have put some new ideas into place but to be honest, not much has changed. Is this a pattern for you? Every few months are you starting over again? Trying something new? I do it because it’s my job, but for years I know I was doing it because it was my pattern.

No Shoes Nutrition & Practical Nutrition In 2020

Practical Nutrition

There is so much nutrition data out there. We are bombarded with good, bad, and ugly every single day. There are reports that certain foods are good for us, then the next day that same food will cause cancer. There are “fad” diets for weight loss and “protocols” and “treatments” for certain ailments. But at the end of the day what is right? What do we believe, who do we believe and where do we turn to for the information that will be most helpful? More importantly, what are we supposed to eat?

Hibiscus – Not Just A Beautiful Flower

Ever Thought You Might Drink Your Garden?

Ever heard of the hibiscus flower? Have you ever thought about eating it or drinking it as a tea? I have been able to travel south where these flowers bloom daily and man do they smell beautiful! I hadn’t heard of eating or drinking them to improve my health until I was in Mexico a few years ago and had hibiscus tea.

Is Your Tongue Telling You Something?

Cracks or Red or Pink or White

Have you ever looked at your tongue? I mean really looked and inspected it? I have discovered over the past few years that your tongue can tell you a lot about your health. The mouth is the entrance point for many things; the air you breathe, the food you eat and lots of little bacteria and microbes. These are all important for our health and by looking in your mouth and inspecting your tongue you can learn some important things your body might be trying to tell you.

The Sleep Review – Could I Keep Up?

Did Increasing my Sleep Help?

This past week I made a real effort to increase my sleep in an effort to help reach my health and wellness goals. I would like to report that I succeeded in every way, that I followed my own recommendations exactly. Unfortunately, life got in the way. It happens, I know it better than most but I will not give up! I had family visit from out of town, I had work that needed to get done and let’s face it, sometimes as a Mom, I just need a little quiet time and the evening/night is one of the only times I get that.

A Thanksgiving Tribute

What should I eat?

As I sit here and write this blog, I am reflecting on all that I have to be thankful for. Today is Canada’s Thanksgiving. A day we spend with family and friends and give thanks for all that we have, all the opportunity, all our possessions, and all our blessings. Along with all, we have let’s give thanks for our food. Most days we take food for granted. It just seems to show up in the grocery store for us to purchase. Have you ever given thought to how incredible it is that we can walk into a grocery store at any time of the year, almost any time of the day and find fresh produce? Baked bread? A cornucopia of deliciousness?

Accountability: What is it and why do I need it?

What or who are you accountable to?

This is the definition of accountability but what does that actually mean? Accountability is the act of taking responsibility for our actions in a transparent manner. It means owning up to our actions whether they are for the good of ourselves or others or whether they may not be.

Monday, Day One, The Day Everything Changes

How many of us wake up every Monday morning and think, “This is it; this is the week I will change my life!” then by lunch we’re back to our old habits. It’s true, isn’t it? Old habits die hard. I haven’t been through this mental dialogue in many months but found myself psyching up for this past week because I was starting a little cleanse. Monday, day one, wow, what a wake-up call!

The Diary and Wheat Debate

It’s very common for me to have a new client discuss with me their fears about having to give up staples in their diet. Some of these staples include wheat, dairy, corn and soy. I am shocked at how these healthy foods have gotten such a bad reputation! Recently there are even more that are being cast in a negative light like lentils and even bone broth!

The subtle signs of Inflammation

In the past few weeks I have been trying to experiment with foods that I have cut out over the years to see if I could start introducing them back into my life. Some of these foods are “treats” that I wouldn’t eat on a daily basis but might like to enjoy on occasion and some of them are highly nutritious foods that I cut out because for me and my body, at that time, they were not making me feel my best.

Is food tracking a good idea?

Tracking what you eat and drink is something we first ask our nutrition coaching clients to do when working with them. There are several ways to track your food and drink. You can keep a food journal and record daily by pen or use an app on your phone/computer to record your daily intake.
