Weight loss has always been associated with calorie counting, restrictive diets, or rigorous workout programs. Just look at how many diet programs are out there making tall promises which only yield short-term, disappointing results. What most people don't realize is that there's an easier way to achieve sustainable weight loss, and that is by  balancing your blood sugar levels . Blood sugar simply refers to the amount of sugar or glucose in your blood, which comes from carbohydrates. During digestion, carbohydrates are broken down into sugar molecules and sent to your bloodstream, increasing your blood-sugar levels. The hormone insulin is then released to bring the sugar out of your blood – and into your cells to be converted into energy. Any excess sugar from your meal that isn’t being used for energy right away gets stored as fat. So how does all this work? Highly refined carbs like white bread, high fructose corn syrup, and other sweet carbs are quickly digested and absorbe...

  Pay no mind to how awful I look. My makeup all slid off and my hair is a mess from being outside, but I had a friend call me and ask for help about her afternoon energy slumps and I thought I'd jump on here real quick and share. If this describes you, then let's have a conversation about how to get you back to the land of the living in the afternoons. **Comment below if you'd like to chat.**🙂

  Yawn…stretch…ugh, I could use a nap. Sound like you? Kids cranky? Yep, same here. The other day our daughter said that she heard they are considering stopping the daylight savings time change. I laughed out loud…hard. I’ve heard that promise for 40 years! So, until they decide to change it, here are a few tips to get you through it until your body can adjust. I’m talking things to help you have more energy. Sleep. I’m willing to bet you didn’t go to bed early last night and now you feel exhausted. Going forward however, you really need to think about your schedule and cut out the extra stuff that is keeping you and your kids from getting enough sleep. You know that kids through teen years need 10+ hours and you need at least 8 per night, right? I don’t care that you can technically get up and show up for your day on 4-6 hours, your body needs at least 8. Don’t make me pull out all the science and health studies on it. If you don’t believe me, then you ma...

  You probably know what foods you need to be eating for a stronger immune system. It is as easy as adding fresh, unprocessed protein, vegetables, fruit,  legumes, grains, nuts and seeds to your daily and weekly diet for you to start feeling better. It's a wonderful bonus that many of those foods are excellent for providing other health advantages like a strong heart, better brain functioning and an improved respiratory system. Speaking of bolstering your heart, brain and respiratory process, exercise can provide those benefits as well. And you don't have to take up hours of weekly strength training or run 5 miles every day to benefit. Actually, over-training and exercising too hard can have a negative effect on your body's ability to fight off infection and illness.   How "Smart" Exercise Works to Boost Immunity There is a lot of research on the multiple benefits of exercise. You feel great about yourself, you sleep better, your brain is more cris...

  A few years ago, if you suggested to someone that they detoxify their digestive system by fasting, juicing, or eating a raw foods diet, they probably thought you’d gone off the deep end. Today, detoxing is all the rage… and with good reason. • According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, more than 2 in 3 adults and about one-third of children and adolescents ages 6 to 19 are overweight or obese. • One in three American adults are pre-diabetic… and only 10% are aware that they’re at risk. • Fatigue is the number one complaint doctors hear from their patients. • Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease affect up to 50 million Americans. Because there is no curative therapy at this time, treatment for autoimmune diseases focuses on relieving symptoms. • More than 30% of the population suffers from insomnia and approximately 10 million people in the U.S. use prescription sleep aids. People who suffer from...

  If you watched the cross-country skiing events during the 2014 Sochi Winter Games, you saw the bodies pile up as athlete after athlete collapsed at the finish line, racked with pain and gasping for air. “Viewers were alarmed, I realize,” said  Kris Freeman , “but that is just the sign of a great race.” The four-time Team USA member (’02, ’06, ’10, ’14) added, “In the perfect race we push hard over the last 1000 meters and then thrust our lead foot at the finish line. We’re weaving and wobbly, so it’s common to crash. Then we’re so blown we just lie there like we’re half dead.” But Kris’s pure love for the sport and his appreciation for his ability to exert keep him coming back for more. His story is remarkable for more than just his selection to four Winter Games; Kris is a Type 1 diabetic who has overcome numerous obstacles to compete as an endurance athlete at the highest levels for nearly two decades. His is still one of the fittest athletes on the planet even though ...
