I work on breathing ALOT. Whether I’m coaching a client on how (and when) to breath during exercise, or repeating my meditation recommendations for the umpteenth time to a stressed out client, it’s present in almost every session that I do. Sometimes I feel like my clients would rather fast for a week instead of

What Kills and Supports the Microbiome?
Science on the microbiome is relatively new. However, even as we are just beginning to understand its role in the body, microbiome health has been linked to some of our most common and problematic diseases and illnesses. The list ranges from our biggest killers (cancer, diabetes, heart disease) to previously “untreatable” conditions from autoimmune diseases

Fat Loss 101
My career began answering fat loss questions, and it will most likely end that way. Part of the confusion is that there are so many philosophies, hacks, variabilities, and just flat out lies when it comes to fat loss. This article from bengreenfieldlife.com tackles – with in depth facts and insight – some of the

Cleaning Up Your Household Cleaning Products
Household cleaning products and personal care products are typically the last areas that we focus on when trying to “clean up” our lifestyle. Most of us will focus our energy on eating clean, purifying our water, avoiding air pollutants, and organic lawn care before delving into the toxic concoctions under our kitchen sink. This article

Proper Deadlift Form
Nothing will strengthen and shape the booty like Deadlifts. The Gluteus Maximus also has the highest percentage of androgen receptors in the body. Exciting the Glutes with Deadlifts can equate into huge results in intrinsic anabolic hormone production, which paves the way for overall muscle growth and fat loss. I always tell my clients that

Franken-Ingredients Glossary
If you’re reading labels, then you’re ahead of the game. If you can pronounce every word on an ingredients list, then you’re in the 99th percentile. If you actually know exactly which ingredients are harmful vs. healthy, then you’re hired! I get confused myself when reading packaged food ingredients. That’s one of the reasons

The Sugary, Dye-Filled World OF Birthday Cakes
I can’t say enough good things about “Food Babe” Vani Hari. Her website, social media, and books do such a great job in breaking down all of the horrible ingredients that are hidden (in plain sight) in common junk foods. We all try to read labels, but sometimes the vocab can just be overwhelming. It’s

Organic in Disguise?
Big Food isn’t dumb. And They’re not about to let you spend your organic dollars outside of their domain. That’s why – very early in the organic revolution – The largest food companies (Kraft, Pepsi, Nestle, etc) started buying up all of the Organic certifying bodies. They also started their own organic brands. Bad news:

Sleep Optimization
Sleep. One of the most underrated and over-neglected aspects of our health and wellness. It’s tied to everything. Muscle recovery, decreasing inflammation, healing the body, cognitive repair, sex hormone production, stress (both ways- in that stress affects sleep quality/duration, and sleep quality/duration affects stress), emotional health, digestion, blood pressure, etc. It’s not just how

Natural Athlete’s Foot Treatments
Speaking from experience, Athlete’s Foot can be a real pain in the….foot. Through the course of a couple years, I’ve tried numerous over (and under) the counter options from creams, to oral medications, to nail polishes. None of which seemed to give any lasting cure. However, once I switched to some alternative remedies, I had
