Move It – or Lose It

Moving your body is the best thing you can do for it. And let’s face it – our lives are structured in a way today that makes it very easy to avoid movement.  We sit in cars on the way to…wherever.  We sit at our desks/computers for much of the day.  When at home, we

How’s Your Police Department?

Hey – this is a blog about health – so why call the police? Because I was having so many conversations with people struggling with flu season stuff, prolonged colds, and just general run-down health.  We ended up talking about the “immune system” repeatedly.  In my thinking, which was similar to many others, I want

I Want to Fix THIS — NOW!

I see this so often – and I suspect you recognize it, too. An email scroll catches my attention – next to an engaging photo in big letters, it says “Do THIS 1 hour before bed to pee out stubborn fat in the morning”.  OK, I HAVE to glance quickly through to see if this

Health & Habits Go Together

In 2014, I believed I didn’t have any health problems.  I was in my late 60’s and pretty oblivious to any “healthy living” information – figured I didn’t need it.   Nothing “broken” so why look for a fix? OK, if you pushed me a tad, I would own that “oh, yeah, I do have

Stinky Feet, Bad Breath & Dryer Sheets

What do stinky feet, bad breath & dryer sheets have in common?   Yeah – that is quite a picture to conjure up – but the answer is interesting.  They all can be addressed with natural essential oils rather than by using purchased products that have raised chemical and toxic concerns for many folks. Some of

I Have A Kit For That

As reported in the media, a ‘Super cold’ is now going around which is not COVID or the flu.  In fact, I was at a recent retreat in the mountains and more than one person was either experiencing it or just recently had it or felt like they were coming down with it. So, being

True Confessions of a Chocoholic

OK, OK….I confess….I was really searching the internet for (and found) “The Healthiest Candy Bars, Ranked by Nutritionists”.  I was preparing for a trip with a friend and wanted some “healthy” snacks, but I had just come from the grocery store after searching through rows and shelves of “healthy” snack bars — all of which

It’s Organic – So What?

You see it everywhere these days… “Eat Organic” articles, the “Organic” label on foods, the “Organic” sign above a section in the grocery store.   I figured it would be good to do.  But I really didn’t know why.  So my “rebel” spirit kicked in and I asked myself “why should I?” when I saw the
