Do Calories Count?
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010Is weight-gain a simple matter of calories in vs. calories out? Many nutritionists think so. I don’t.
I have had clients reduce intake to just 800 calories per day, while hitting the gym daily, and they can’t burn off a pound. One female client of mine worked out at her gym 3 hours a day, and hard. Her over-exercising actually produced so much cortisol from the stress, it was impossible for her to lose her belly weight.
I’ve had clients add just one mineral supplement and weight falls off with no other changes.
Hangover Prevention and Liver Detox
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008Champagne, revelry and hangovers seem to be an integral part of New Year’s celebrations for many.

You may know the effects: headache, stomachache, jet lag-style fatigue, nausea and the gnawing feeling you did something stupid. The following are some tips to get you through this holiday with revelry yet minimum organ damage.
