What is Stress Doing to You?

If you have been living on planet earth the last couple years, it’s become apparent that stress levels have grossly risen.

The Challenge to Staying Healthy

What Motivates You? - We live in a world where media and commercials toss images of fast food and junk foods around like it’s no big deal. I have recently made friends with a gentleman very versed in hypnosis and he claims that most of the time when he works with clients, he is un-hypnotizing them from the messaging we receive in our daily lives. Is it any wonder that it is SO mentally hard to get up, get moving, eat healthy and feel good?

Should We Change Our Diet With The Seasons?

Should We Change Our Diet With The Seasons? The seasons are changing. Leaves are falling, the air is getting a chill and it’s even raining with the threat of snow this morning. It makes me begin to think about preparing for the coming winter. I took the winter jackets out of storage, spent a half hour switching out sandals for winter boots and packed up the shorts and tanks to replace with the woolies. All of this got me thinking… should I also be shifting my diet to prepare for the winter.

Back in the Saddle Again - We are creatures of habit! We can make changes to our diet and lifestyle, even major ones, but at some point, we can get complacent about it, or we get derailed by an event, and before we know it, we’re back to our old habits again.

Entrepreneurial Energy – How to Generate More!

Big Business Energy Busts - As a business owner and entrepreneur, I know firsthand what it takes to get a business up and running and the energy it takes to keep that business moving in the forward direction. Most of us here in Calgary were feeling the downturn of our local economy well before the beginning of 2020 and then shortly there after we shocked into a new reality with the onslaught of COVID-19. Stress is one of the partners in many of our businesses as we need to pivot, roll with the punches and use creativity.

Motivation – Where oh Where Have You Gone?

Are you struggling to get yourself going?

If there is one strong undercurrent I keep hearing and that has been implied over and over during the past few weeks it’s that people are losing their motivation during this strange time we are living. It’s harder to get out of bed, it’s hard to keep working out and it’s hard to keep eating healthy.

Transit Time Talk - Are you Pooping Enough?

How Much Time Should It Take? - Are you Moving Fast Enough?

I did a little experiment. I ate some foods that would indicate how long things take to move through my body. This is called my transit time. The time it takes food to travel from my taste buds to the toilet. I was curious; would my dinner show up after breakfast? Would it take longer? I was fascinated to find out I had an almost 48-hour transit time! The slowest on the range of what is considered normal and for my goals, not at all optimal.

Pandemic Pandemonium or Pandemic Pacified

It has become apparent that the tension in the air is rising. I have seen more and more videos of individuals losing their cool in what should be a simple conversation. I personally experienced a friend’s frustration at having to wait in line. She just got so frustrated she left the line and went home. When she got home, she was so mad at herself she ate a bag of chips! Things just spiraled from there.

Week One Complete - Entering Week Two - Week one was my transition week. It was the week I slowly cut back on any sugar and simple carbohydrates in my diet and started adding some anti-microbial foods. I am happy to report that I did not have many effects, meaning I didn’t have any migraine headaches, just minor ones or extreme fatigue, just a bit lower energy.
