Overeating
Fill Your Heart, Not Stomach
Sunday, November 21st, 2010Research from the Institute of HeartMath shows that feeling gratitude and appreciation synchronizes brain and heart rhythms, creating an optimal state in which our bodies function more efficiently, with greater balance and increased mental clarity. It makes you feel good.
Sugar Cravings
Saturday, November 6th, 2010Sugar may be more addictive than cocaine, according to a study from University of Bordeaux. Your brain on sugar looks a lot like a brain on cocaine or heroin. Willpower rarely works. The problem is saying “no” to leftover Halloween candy and after-dinner ice cream and we are only just approaching the holiday baking season. A knowledge of both Eastern wisdom and Western science helped me break the cycle.
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.
Holiday Drug Dangers, Alternatives
Monday, December 29th, 2008Over-the-counter meds interact with prescription drugs and alcohol, leading to 2 million “adverse drug reactions” each year. Reactions to properly prescribed dugs kill over 100,000 people per year in the U.S. Mistakes and overdose kill another 100,000. Doctors and drugs are considered the third leading caused of death in this country, according to the American Medical Association.
One of the joys of my work is seeing someone get off a drug, whether it is an anti-depressant, insulin or antacids. Not only does one’s physical health improve, but so does his or her energy, mood and zest for life.
