Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I have a great conversation with my friend Melissa Rogers.

Many of my clients have shown signs of low sodium that impacted their perfor...

Most of these people I would see I could predict exactly what ex...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I give a brief life update that brings me into discussing the impact that a smile can have on someone else's life.  As humans, I feel that most of us don't pay attention to how we make other people feel.

Send us Fan Mail Limiting beliefs are assumptions we create about ourselves that restrict our potential and ability to achieve our goals. These beliefs are often negative and self-defeating, such as thinking "I'm not good enough," "I can't do this," or "I'm not deserving of success."  Most often they stem from past experiences or unprocessed trauma and...

Send us Fan Mail One of the most common questions I'm asked regarding nutrition is; "what is the best diet?" The answer is probably not what most people want to hear.
