Don’t Let the Pandemic Affect your Weight Loss and Wellness Journey

The COVID-19 pandemic has the full potential to affect both our short-term and long-term health if we fail to plan ahead or to be aware.

The reality, most of us will survive the COVID-19 threat but a minority will not. To improve our odds, we can direct our focus, during this major crisis, to developing an action plan to minimize the risks to ourselves and our families.

Being Mindful During Brain Awareness Week

March 11^th – 17^th, 2024 is Brain Awareness Week and, compared to other days or weeks dedicated to great causes, this week is one of the most important for many reasons.

Understanding Processed Food Addiction

February is National Snack Food Month, but that doesn’t mean that we’re suggesting you run out and celebrate with your favorite chips, crackers and cookies. This is a month for awareness about how these addicting snacks are triggering compulsive thoughts, adding pounds and leading us back to the cupboard over and over.

Keto Diet: Does It Work and Is It Safe?

If you are interested in losing weight, undoubtedly you have heard the chatter about the Keto Diet. ‘Keto’ is short for Ketogenic, the metabolic state where your body ‘burns fat’, which is what everybody who is trying to lose weight wants. The Keto Diet is the latest craze in dieting and because of this, and the reach of social media and the internet, there is an abundance of ‘information’ available to those who seek it. While the Keto Diet is NOT entirely ‘Fake News’ (i.e. you can lose weight on it), like many fad diets, the devil is in the details. Before we jump on yet another ‘diet’ bandwagon, it is in our best interest to become more familiar with the details, specifically the possible health risks as well as its potential to help us lose weight.

Learning More About the Gluten-Free Lifestyle

As we begin 2020, we can choose to be more focused on the quality as well as the quantity of the types of foods we consume. Just decades ago people were often misinformed about many common foods, their ingredients and how they could possibly affect overall health and undiagnosed conditions.

One commonly discussed topic is gluten, which is a collective of proteins found in grains, including wheat, rye and barley. Now, knowing that gluten is in so many foods, and the effects it may have on us, can put each of us at a distinct advantage over those who previously did not have access to this knowledge. Although the effects of gluten vary, it’s important to understand what gluten is, and who truly needs to restrict gluten or maintain a gluten-free diet vs. those who simply can avoid gluten at their own discretion.
