How much of your relationship with food, today, is determined by your experiences around food from your past? The more I think about this, the more I think, a whole lot. I sat down for dinner with my grandmother yesterday, and, we were talking about this. I can see, plainly, that a big part ofContinue reading “Your Food Past”

Your Timeline of Health
I often write about how your health is a journey. If you were to write it out on a timeline, you would see that there are several ‘major’ turning points, but also, many subtle ones. So, it is not the case that there ever was, or is ever going to be, one point at whichContinue reading “Your Timeline of Health”
What Will You Change Today?
Which dietary change should you try today: the one that you’re ready for, or, the one that you’re not ready for? I written on this blog many times that ‘change isn’t easy’. That is simply not true if you pick the easy change. One of the reasons that diets don’t stick, for example, is becauseContinue reading “What Will You Change Today?”
The Future of Food
What is the future of food? What trends are coming? What will your meals look like in 5, 10, or 20 years? It’s the last Friday of 2018, and, I thought this would be a fun topic to close out the year. You’ll visit the grocery store less. More food will be delivered straight toContinue reading “The Future of Food”
3 Steps To Achieve Your Dreams

The Problem with Diets
The problem with diets is that they are diets. Some diets work for some people. Some people need to be on diets. But there is no diet that works for all people. In fact, no matter how many people a diet helps, there is always a small group of people who it will also harm.Continue reading “The Problem with Diets”
Food, and ‘Not-Food’
Now that you’re clear about the fact that there is no magic bullet for your health, I will say that the removal of processed ‘foods’ from your diet will make a huge difference – fast. That’s why my number one rule for buying food has always been ‘read the ingredients’. There are thousands of thingsContinue reading “Food, and ‘Not-Food’”
Open Up to Your Journey
When I started this blog in 2013, I wasn’t a Health Coach. If you look around the website now, you probably wouldn’t guess that. Good thing that websites are flexible. In five years, I’ll still be a Health Coach – but I have no idea what else I will be. My practice will evolve. IContinue reading “Open Up to Your Journey”
What Changed My Nutrition?
It would be easy to say that the 30-day Paleo meal challenge I did in 2010, after which I was in the best physical shape of my life to date by far, was what transformed the way I eat and look. But that is not correct. What about the ten years I worked, slowly, onContinue reading “What Changed My Nutrition?”
Why Nutrition?
Of the seven key areas of your health, why is nutrition the topic I write about most? Good nutrition is one of the most obvious and accessible ways to keep your health in balance. Food is where it all starts. The shadow of good nutrition is poor nutrition. Really poor nutrition, over time, has theContinue reading “Why Nutrition?”
