Are you using these new terms?? Do you have a pre-and post Covid weight or health status??? I really hope these new words do not become a part of our normal vocabulary. 

On many occasions, I get this question from my clients:  “At what age should I start teaching my kids to eat healthy the way to want me to eat?”

Hearing this comment has the same effect on me every time: it raises my blood pressure and if you happen to be near me, you will see the expression on my face and let me tell you, it is NOT a pretty expression at all. 

In the last 2 episodes, I talked about Holiday season and all the stress that accompanies the “season”.  One major stressor, after financial stress, is losing control of your health.  This is actually more important in my mind., so keep listening. 

How many times a week do you find yourself saying: I don’t have time? How many times a day do you say: I lost track of time? How often do you actually think about time? How many times in your lifetime have you thought: I wish I had made the time?

Last week I started talking about Holiday season and all the stress that accompanies the “season”.  Today, we will take a deeper dive into the most common stressors, the causes, and strategies to avoid the stress OR at the very least, minimize them and learn how to cope with them better. 

Does this summarize your pre-holiday emotions? Then you can't miss this. 

From lacking motivation to being addicted to EXERCISE!! Tune in, you will not regret this. 

. In response to my podcast, a very interesting topic/ question/ issue came up: VACATIONS!!! People love them usually, but they also hate them because: they come back from vacation realizing that: They have eaten way more than they should They have consumed foods they should not have They have had way too much alcohol They did not exercise while on vacation They came back to a very cranky scale an...

Happy Labor Day!! Is your brain always ON??? Are you taking REST seriously?? Listen to this episode to discover ways to find peace. 

Another great question and controversial topic- Running on empty. Many athletes ask me: what are your thoughts about fasting exercise??Many who are trying to lose weight ask me: is fasting exercise a better way to lose weight? Many others have difficulty eating before exercising because they are not accustomed to having a full stomach. Others need more time after a meal to exercise. Finally, nowad...

This is a very popular topic of conversation with many of my clients, BOTH men and women. Are you made to believe that you are just getting old?? Tune in and listen. 

Last week, the question was are you eating enough and I called that the million $ question. This question is the $10 million question in my mind.  This is a very controversial topic, highly debated, and VERY much promoted by certain group of scientists and food manufacturers. The new and HOT vegan diet debate OR the Plant-based diet. 

This is the $million question. Tune in to listen. 

Is anything BAD ok in moderation?? One of my pet peeve: Anything in moderation!!! I beg to differ. 

It is summer and one very common question I get is: Sunscreen, are they safe? Should I use them? If so, what kind?  Are you ready for this??

Organic vs. Non-Organic Food One very common question I get from clients is what exactly is organic and should I always buy/eat organic foods. 

I have always LOVED 4th of July, and it has always been my most favorite American Holiday. For one, it is summer and I LOVE summers, especially in New England. You get to be outside and enjoy mother nature.  AND I think it is a very meaningful holiday. 

Today I want to start answering some of your questions that relate to the major title of this Podcast and the reason I started this to begin with.  What does it mean to be healthy for life? How do I get healthy for life? Am I too old to get healthy for life? Where do I start? 

Happy Healthy Fathers day to all amazing dads.

After the publication of that column, I forgot about this for some time.  But I realize that some of the questions I was asked during that interview come up all the time in consults with my clients, or other people i...

Today’s episode is inspired by some of my own life events BUT more so by others whose paths have crossed mine.
