From Ergonomic Slut to Born Again Disciple

From Ergonomic Slut to Born Again Disciple

I’m an ergonomic slut. I am ashamed to admit this. I have desk stations, core exercise ball chairs, tables that go up and down on command, perfect placement for my feet with grounding pads—the whole banana to keep well while sitting. But I was writing so much these last two years (two books soon launching and one on hold due to the FDA, and blogs and power points and profiles and such) that I just got lazy. Pooped. And, hedonistic. As much as there are several ergonomic dream stations throughout my house, I became addicted to my big cozy chair by [...]

How to really feel good

All healthied up, and nowhere to go! I went dancing last night. All excited after being shut in with healing my knee. I dressed up, felt great, and walked into the studio. Oy veh. There was hardly anybody there. And who was there were not moving too fast. They were shaking their heads, “Did you hear about so and so? He was getting into his car and fell. And imaging showed he had tumors in his spine and lungs. He had surgery that left him paralyzed and not able to speak really well.” He is 6 years younger than me! One [...]

Incredibly Healthy OMG Sirloin

My family of choice—John and Jean—raised a calf on their 150 acres on only sprouts, grass, free range, and love. We then butchered it with a prayer of thanksgiving (my long ago boyfriend at the University of Michigan, an astrophysicist, used to hunt deer with bow and arrow and would always pray in gratitude with hands on, as the animal passed) aged it for several weeks, had it thoroughly inspected as it was never on ANY meds, even for de-worming, and then John found BPA free paper that we froze the meat in. I defrosted the steak. Used my unique, specific [...]

Brains Love Calories

Longings Yale researchers found that the brain is wired—above all else—to "long" for calories. Even more than for sweets and sugars. This highlights that staying on and succeeding with a "diet" (any diet) is near impossible. LIFE STYLE changes, exercise, balanced hormones, intra-cellular mineral and vitamin piggy banks flush with fat burning nutrients, are all a MUST for achieving life inside a body suit that gives your a sense of supreme well-being. Work with a “smart” plus “heart” medical nutritionist today. It’s not an easy task to find a true health ally that combines both essential parts of your health equation. [...]

KNEE HEALING FOOD!

I am finishing up my two new books so my mind was in the clouds. Was on the rowing machine and had on amazing tunes and was going a bit over the top. So I extended my knee too much. Got off the rowing machine and felt like a grapefruit was behind my knee in the posterior compartment (hyperextension injury, not too ominous if no symptoms along the side or front of the knew, whew!). I elevated, iced, did my nutraceutical anti-inflammatory magic, so then it reduced to the size of an orange but remained that way. Drat! Had it ultra-sounded [...]

Waist Size and Colons

Larger waist? You have an increased colon cancer risk. Each 1 cm rise in waist size = increased risk. 1 cm = slightly > 1/3rd of inch! Spink Health 2015 Probably due to increased inflammation due to fat cells inside abdominal cavity and between organs, not the fat underneath the skin. So wanting to be healthfully svelte is not just being a slave to vanity, but to colon safety.

Ingredients • Organic Sprouted Tofu • White Miso (or any miso) • Gluten Free Soy Sauce • Vinegar (I use a dash of Braggs Vinegar with some high end basaltic but you can use whatever you want) • A dash of ‘bright” – about a Tbs. of a liquor like cab wine and in this case I only had Tequila so I added a dash of this, you can leave this out if you want) • Organic Baby Broccoli often referred to as broccolini • Package of Haricot Verts (fancy thinner “refined” green beans) • Olive oil (and I add a [...]

Rice Has Arsenic, But… FISH has more. Challenging to Eat Healthfully

Healthy Eating It used to be that eating healthy meant eating lots of brown rice. No more. Since 2006 it’s been well established that rice, especially brown rice, has high levels of dangerous inorganic arsenic that is a carcinogen and type-2 diabetes promoter. Knowledge is power but this knowledge was a bummer. So where do we go from here. Do different rice’s from different parts of the world have more or less arsenic? Yes. And how we cook the rice makes a difference, too. Which Rice Comparison of rice and arsenic levels. Levels of arsenic in rice vary depending on where [...]

Healing Angina with Food

A 60-year-old man presented with typical angina and had a positive stress test. He declined both drug therapy and invasive testing. Instead, he chose to adopt a whole-food plant-based diet, which consisted primarily of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, potatoes, beans, legumes, and nuts. His symptoms improved rapidly, as well as his weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. Plant-based diets have been associated with improved plasma lipids, diabetes control, coronary artery disease and with a reduction in mortality. Adoption of this form of lifestyle therapy should be among the first recommendations for patients with atherosclerosis. Case Rep Cardiol. 2015;2015:978906. doi: 10.1155/2015/978906. Epub [...]

Breast Cancer and Virus Link

Out of 239 women with breast cancer, almost 60% had a leukemia virus that came from contaminated meat, milk and cheese (compared to 29% in the blood of women without breast cancer). This research came out of UC Berkeley. The most recent dairy study looking at herds that had this virus, came out in 2007. It found that over 82% of the entire US dairy herd from the nation's 17 major dairy-producing states - nearly 84% of the cow's blood - has this virus. I do not know if eating organically protects against this virus or not. I am going to [...]
