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…
What’s lurking in your cabinets? Only you can tell. (Or can you? Those companies work hard to hide things.) This week I want you to come with me on a tour of my new house as my friend and colleague Lara Adler, environmental toxins expert (and self-proclaimed super nerd) give you a different kind…

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…
Me in Tampa, FL enjoying the outdoors without allergies!

Confession time, people. I’ve been a lifelong sugar addict. Recently I went on a 40 day no-sugar, no-alcohol diet to reset my body and re-train my taste buds. This extended “self-discovery session”—as I so lovingly call it—brought up questions about everything. Like whether coconut sugar is a good thing. Or if Paleo was helpful or…
How to get to Healthy Island This has been on my mind a lot the last few weeks: How do I ensure that I make healthy choices? Am I spending my time hobnobbing with little vices that add up and drain me, making it harder for me feel good, harder to take action toward my…
I had no friggin’ clue what to do. When I started my health coaching business, I didn’t know if I was supposed to work on my website, call a client, blog, or just walk away and take a break. At the same time I had no idea how long it would take until my business…

I could tell something was off – the 6 pounds I gained, the restlessness, the agitation, the increased food cravings, the insatiable appetite – and it needed to change. I spent a few thousand dollars on food allergy, genetic, and blood tests. Because I have reached…
