What if instead of saying, “Yes,” your default response was, “No?” In a previous article (3 questions to ask yourself before you say yes to anything) I explained how we often over commit, and say, “Yes,” far too much. In my practice I see the effect of this stress and resentment on people’s health. It’s [...]
You have a full calendar. And it’s only getting more full. Your default response is, “Yes!” to what ever anyone asks. Have you paused to consider what this is doing to your health? We’re over committed and it’s making us sick. We say yes too much. To clarify we say, “Yes,” to others too much. [...]
Does this sound familiar? Things in your relationship are going along tickedy-boo and then, BAM! Three little letters change everything and threaten to ruin it all. PMS. Premenstrual Syndrome. This comes in many forms but typically symptoms include moodiness and irritability, bloating, low energy, and sugar or carbohydrates cravings. You kinda wish chocolate would flow [...]
I met a beautiful woman this weekend. She was tall, dark with soulful eyes. She dressed perfectly for her body in flowing, colourful off-the-shoulder dresses. Six other women and I were gushing over how gorgeous she was. To her face. She beamed and said, “Thanks for all the love ladies.” Her response struck me. Her [...]
I’m not sure about you, but I was pretty shocked to hear about the suicide of Robin Williams last week. His death is a collective loss. I’m sure we can all recall the crazy antics he would get up to during his roles on screen. He was a delight to watch, and provoked both tears [...]
The fascinating truth about weight loss – and why it’s not what you think Here’s a question. What are you actually losing when you’re dropping weight? A common response I hear is that we lose weight through our stools. That makes sense, right? Well, the make up our stool is mostly water and bulk [...]
I had a great time during this interview with Diana Marchand of Raw Foods Made Simple. We chatted on women’s health at mid-life, stress, disease, healing, self care, and joy. I share how BodyTalk, and Naturopathic Medicine can help heal the body, mind and soul. Enjoy and be sure to share!
We’re half way through summer time here in the northern hemisphere. I just returned for a lovely weekend out in the wilderness. I saw a black bear, schools of salmon, several eagles and a beaver. Summer time. My work as a naturopathic doctor and a master Brain-Based Transformational Coach is flavored richly by Traditional Chinese [...]
This past weekend I attended a personal development seminar as a part of the “Life Sciences” arm under the Brain-Based Transformational Coaching umbrella. I’m an ever-learner; this workshop was a nice and welcomed change to the technical courses I’ve been taking lately. As much as the course was for me on my own personal path, [...]
This spring I discovered a consistent practice in meditation. Previously I’d done a little bit here. A little bit there. But never every day. The routine was everything. A game changer. I’m sleeping better than I have in years. I’m more creative and productive. I’m more empathetic, and compassionate. I’m listening better. I notice silver [...]
