Vitamin D is the new "it" nutrient but what are the benefits and signs of deficiency?

How do we know if our levels are good and if not, how do we get them to where they should be?

Check out my latest video where we'll cover these questions and more...

It's that time of year...lots of sunshine, outdoor activities, vacations and more. We're outside moving and grooving, soaking up the rays, splashing in the water and having an overall great time!

It's also the time to be extra diligent on staying hydrated!

While you may know everything we're about to cover, it never hurts to have a friendly reminder. 🙂

When you hear the word "mediation" do you immediately think of a monk sitting on a mountain top at sunset in the midst of a deep transcendent state of mind? Does it seem like only those who devote hours a day to the practice are the only ones who can benefit? Or maybe it's just "not your thing"...

I want to make a bold statement...meditation is for EVERYONE.  Now, it's not often that we can make such a grand generalization, but in this case I think it's safe to say we can.

Unless you've been living in an underground bunker this week, chances are STRONG that you've been dealing with some nasty weather. Even here in Nashville we actually got some snow for once!  Yay!!  And a LOT of ice...booo!!!

Most of us throw on our favorite tunes when we go to exercise, without giving it much thought. It's almost instinctual, but does music really have an affect on our performance? 

This week's question come from Adam.

Welcome to the inaugural "episode" of Q&A Thursday! The idea here is to take a day each week and answer your questions. These will typically be videos but this week I ran into a technical glitch. As they say, "the show must go on!"

This week's question come from Diane.

You've been through this before…you've made the same promise to yourself - "I'm going to eat better."

If you hold the thought longer than a minute you may even make it so far as to take action on that promise for a day or two. The problem then becomes that "life" rears it's ugly head, you lose focus and your old habits take over and you're back on autopilot (not in a good way).

I'm here to tell you that it is in fact possible to make good on your intentions to eat well and live a healthier lifestyle. I also have some good news for you...it's not that hard. Sure it'll take some time (we'll get to that in a moment), but it's not as hard as you might think.

Let's go over my Top 4 Strategies to get you started down the right path.

Winter is here and the cold is setting in...what better time to make a warm delicious batch of healing broth. "Healing broth"? Yup!  This ancient food staple is the swiss army knife of foods. 

While you may be thinking that you can just go to the store and buy a container of broth, unfortunately that's not the case. The "fast food" version of this does not have the powerful nutrients of this homemade elixir. Fear not though! This simple recipe is super easy and ultimately only requires time for all of the goodness to come out into the pot. Anyone can make this even if you are challenged by making toast. ​
