15 Billion animals are burned, tortured and operated on (with NO anesthesia) every year to test your cosmetics, cleaners and perfumes. 15 BILLION! Why do they have to suffer for us to have one more bottle of perfume, one more lipstick!
Food For Thought: The Mind, Body, Spirit Summit! From April 14th-18th, I’ll be interviewing top wellness experts (doctors, nutritionists, therapists, coaches, best-selling authors) on how they manage to sustain a healthy lifestyle. All interviews will be available online at the Food For Thought website.
Intermittent fasting is all the rage, people talking about it left and right.. But what the heck it is?
This is not really a fast and it is also no (technically) a diet, but rather a WAY OF EATING.
Are you part of the 91% of women that say digestion issues get in the way of their daily life? Here’s a special interview I did with Nadya, where I reveal my own story and issues with my belly, the foods that I still rely on to prevent an upset stomach and lots of tips to help you in your journey.
You’re suffering from a sinus infection and it’s awful! I know, I’ve been there. You may even be on antibiotics but heck, you still have to wait a week to 10 days and suffer through bad nights and exhausting days while your body fights the infection.
In this follow up video about the topic of hypnosis, I actually went a little crazy and agreed to let Grace hypnotize me in front of the camera! I thought it would be awkward and that I’d have to delete the video but the experience was very very sweet. Check out my mini-hypnosis session and see for yourself what it is all about!
Do you believe in hypnosis? I must admit I didn’t until I met the woman I’m interviewing on this video. In fact, I tried hypnosis as part of a therapy session years ago and I thought it was a bunch of bologna! But when I met Grace, she was very graceful (and patient), explaining to me what hypnosis was and more importantly, what it wasn’t!! Check out this interview to learn more.
I decided to interview my friend and fitness expert Sylvia Nasser. Sylvia can teach you to love workouts and motivate you like no one else I’ve ever met and I wanted to get her take on why working out is so important and how you can get motivated to shake you butt as well!
Are you the kind that gets sick every other month? I mean, you get the flu in the fall/winter, you catch all your co-workers germs, get the summer cold that only a few get. In a nutshell, you’re sick of getting sick!
My TEDx talk is part personal story, part motivational message. I poured my heart and soul into this talk, shared things that most of my closest friends didn’t know about and in the process, became stronger and wiser.
I don’t know about you but I’m sick and tired of the skinny obsession in this country. It’s bullshit. WOMEN, we’re supposed to HAVE CURVES! I have yet to meet a man that doesn’t like curves in a woman’s body.
For me, this is a highly spirited topic and I hope this video will help motivate you and see your own beauty and worth!
Yoga and Tai Chi practitioners have known this for centuries: Deep, active, conscious breathing can increase your oxygen intake even when done for just 1 to 2 minutes at a time! And these breathing exercises can increase your energy level almost instantly, help speed up your metabolism, give you clarity of mind and help reduce stress.
As many people out there, I take the days leading up to my birthday to reflect on the previous year, toss away what didn’t serve me, and make space for new experiences that will help me move forward and become a better, bigger, wiser, kinder, better person. This year, I want to be open to receive and in order to do that, I need to embrace giving (you know, to open up some room for all that receiving coming my way!)
I get people telling me all the time that they want to juice and blend but that they have no time. That the prep time is too long, or the clean up is a pain.
BULL CRAP! I’ve been juicing almost every day for 10+ years and blending for the last 5 or 6 and if I learned one thing during this process is that WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY!
Sugar! How much we love thee sugar! You have had a long-standing love affair with Oreos, ice cream or the “healthier” dark chocolate or vegan cookies, even though you know that stuff is not good for you. Every morning you wake up with a new will: to stay away from sugar. By night time, you’re once again totally hooked.
