Alex is one of my favorite people. So I’m definitely biased. I remember when I was attending The Institute for Integrative Nutrition live in NYC at the Lincoln Center in 2006 when Joshua Rosenthal showed us the clip of Super Size Me where Alex pops her head into the shot and is thanked for her detox diet…
My latest bone broth concoction from my Cleanse Party Webinar on January 29, 2015! You have 3-5 pounds of bacteria living in and on you. That’s about a half-gallon of bacteria and most of them are in your intestines! Since you own this real estate, this makes you a farmer of bacteria. So do…
Me in Tampa, FL enjoying the outdoors without allergies! Back when my eyes were swollen, my nose was dripping, my face itched, and the yellow gusts of pollen were drifting through the air I stumbled across an important (and maybe the most valuable) stage of healing. I had an ‘ah-ha moment’ as they call it.…
Me skiing at Deer Valley Ski Resort in Utah last week! Have you ever noticed my tagline ‘Thriving Body + Unstoppable Life”? Something I’ve learned on this journey of healing is that there is always better. You can always feel better than you feel right now. There are still new discoveries and technologies awaiting us…

Some of us are willing to try many things to get that body and to live longer and have a better time while we’re here. We eat certain foods, avoid others, take supplements…And it can be mixed results for many of us. Here’s why—there’s an important distinction that I want to make about building the…
I’ve changed my mind about my relationship to exercise and weight in the last few months. I used to think that I had to work out like cray-cray to lose weight. I never thought I would count calories. (After all, I’m a holistic health coach!) I believed that wanting to lose 10 pounds was just…
I used to obsessively crave food until I learned how to cleanse when I was in my early twenties. I didn’t start out perfect. I practiced and practiced, getting better all the time. Getting better meant that instead of craving and binging I now can be comfortable with what I’m eating without intense cravings. I…
The Paleo Diet is short for the Paleolithic Diet (a.k.a. the hunter-gatherer diet, the caveman diet, or the Stone Age diet). It is a way of eating that resembles the way our ancestors ate during the Paleolithic era. This means you avoid grains, legumes, processed oils, and refined sugar. This diet is great for several…
