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 […]
McDonald’s for weight loss. Stop the presses!! Can this really be true? Sounds like a miracle for some people. 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.

Can you believe this: In China, ginger has been used to help digestion and treat stomach upset, diarrhea, and nausea for more […]
I was asked the above question after posting about my upcoming program – A Sensational YOU Summer Detox Program on facebook. It’s been a thrill and an honor for me to be promoting my first detox. I’ve wanted to do this for so long, yet I held myself back (for lots of different reasons – […]
As this is my summer of self-care, I’ve set the intention to practice yoga at least three times a week. So far, I’ve been twice this week, so I’m on my way. On Monday, as I was walking to the studio, I noticed this sign in a patch of green and wood chips on the […]
…love …care …??? Today is Monday, July 1. Beginning of the week. Beginning of a new month. Beginning of the second half of the year. And the beginning of the summer of self for me. I’m very clear that this is not about being selfish. In fact, it’s about me being more giving, more generous. […]
I’m all about networking and making connections. This, however, is one connection I can do without – migraines and heart disease. I have suffered with migraine headaches since I was in my early 20s. The debilitating kind – flashing light, extreme sensitivity to light, pain that makes me want to chop my head off. One […]
