I posted this photo on facebook and twitter last week and I can’t get it out of my mind. I was walking in Lenox, MA in the Berkshires a couple of weeks ago and this bold flower caught my attention – literally sticking its neck out from the trees and other flowers. I was with […]
The Universe is so savvy. I’ve been talking about starting my #2TO50 journey today and just a couple of days ago I was at Golden Bridge Yoga and saw this quote on a postcard. It nearly brought me to my knees. It’s exactly what’s been on my mind – being true to myself and making […]
When I’m leading my seasonal cleanse programs, the question I hear almost immediately is, “must I eat only organic food?” Sounds like such a simple question, but, can, in fact, be a complicated answer. Fortunately, there is a wonderful organization known as the Environmental Working Group (EWG) that does do a tremendous amount of work […]
It’s starting…today, April 24. Why today? Why not? Usually I wait for the “perfect” time – January, Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year), beginning of a new season, Monday morning, etc. But there is something in me right now that is saying, “Begin. It’s time.” And I’m going to do what I suggest to so many […]
Bravo to CVS/Caremark!! How else can I say it? The company deserves a standing ovation for their very bold initiative: the declaration that it will stop selling cigarettes and other tobacco products at its CVS/pharmacy stores by October 1. It’s interesting that this move comes at a time in history when nutrition and food sources […]

It’s so bothersome, really, that this story got so much press, including coverage on The Today Show, when, in reality, there was nothing newsworthy about it. And, quite the opposite, it could actually be spreading false […]
Today was a nice day. A quiet day. A relaxing day. Yet, I worked hard. I had a few calls scheduled with great people who are currently following my protocol for the Fabulous Fall Clean Eating Cleanse. It felt so good to connect with them 1:1 and hear how they are losing weight, sleeping better […]
Today is a new day. It’s a special day for me. It’s Day One of my 47 Days of Transformation. Why 47 Days of Transformation? Reason one: I’m 47 years old. (Did I really just share that with the world?) And, reason two: because I realize there are things I set out to accomplish in […]
This past weekend my husband and I participated in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It was our seventh year and we raised close to $7,500. Though walking 39 miles in two days, sleeping in a tent and using port-a-potties is not easy, we’re always excited about being part of the effort to fund organizations […]
When was the last time you ate/drank some ginger? Ginger is a superhero! It is a remarkable herb with intense anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger is revered in India and Asia for its healing powers. Can you believe this: In China, ginger has been used to help digestion and treat stomach upset, diarrhea, and nausea for more […]
