People become passionate about things that affect them. Pain, infections, a decrease in the quality of life, inability to work, symptoms that are debilitating, medical bills…all of those things drive people to find answers. I’ve met so many people desperate to find answers to their physical symptoms. Many are willing to go to any lengthContinue reading “The Whole Body-Dental Connection and My Passion to Get Answers”

Supporting Your Kids Brain as they Head Back to School
As a busy mom of 10 that works, homeschooled and is STILL in the process of homeschooling, I know what it’s like to be busy. I, like so many of my readers, have found myself opting for the easiest foods that are going to elicit the least number of complaints from my tribe. Yes, foodsContinue reading “Supporting Your Kids Brain as they Head Back to School”
Review of “Women, Food, and Hormones” by Sara Gottfried, MD – Chapter 1 (3/1)
Why I am even interested in this book and trying Sara Gottfried’s protocol: Let me give you a little of my back story. In 2014, my son Jake, who was then 3 years old, began to experience seizures. We immediately got him an appointment to the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Being new to this wholeContinue reading “Review of “Women, Food, and Hormones” by Sara Gottfried, MD – Chapter 1 (3/1)”
Day 10 & 11 Rotational Fasting Challenge – 2/14-2/15
When I meet with clients, I like to always start by asking them what is new and good in their lives. I do this because it’s human nature to focus on what’s not good. In turn, I feel like I need to ask myself the same question. So, what IS New and Good? Count myContinue reading “Day 10 & 11 Rotational Fasting Challenge – 2/14-2/15”
Day 8- 25 Day Rotational Fasting Challenge (2/12)
Well, I’m back to work this week which means I have a little less control over the timing of my meals. I broke my fast this morning at 6 a.m. and went for a 3-mile run followed by 30 minutes of weightlifting. The run was pretty sub par. I felt super tired, and energy deprived. I was almost 1/2Continue reading “Day 8- 25 Day Rotational Fasting Challenge (2/12)”
Day 7 – Rotational Fasting Challenge (2/11)
My eating window was from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. today. I fasted from 8:00p.m. on the 10th until 1:00 p.m. on Sunday the 11th, for a total of 17 hours. I did not exercise today. What I ate in my eating window today: clean protein bar, chicken breast stir fry, (cabbage and stir fry veggies) 1/2 cup OikosContinue reading “Day 7 – Rotational Fasting Challenge (2/11)”
Day 6 – Rotational Fasting Challenge (2/10)
Well, yesterday, I met up with some friends who are training for a marathon to do an 8-mile run. I actually ended up running 9.2 miles. So, that sort of ruled the day where my eating was concerned. I started my eating window at 10:00 a.m. and finished around 8:00 p.m. I usually find that when I runContinue reading “Day 6 – Rotational Fasting Challenge (2/10)”
Day 5 – Rotational Fasting Challenge (Friday, 2/9)
What I’ve learned so far: 1. In relation to working out… specifically running and weightlifting, eating a larger portion of food the night before an early morning workout definitely provides more energy. In relation to fasting, I can fast for 18 hours but if I’m going to work out in the morning, and actually perform well, I’m goingContinue reading “Day 5 – Rotational Fasting Challenge (Friday, 2/9)”
Day 4 – Rotational Fasting Challenge (Thursday 2/8)
Well, Day three (yesterday) didn’t go as planned, but it wasn’t an epic failure either. I needed to get my 5-mile run in around 8:30 a.m. and I just had zero energy. Hence, I decided to make an adjustment to the fasting routine. Which, in hindsight, is what this experiment is all about, adjusting a fasting challenge toContinue reading “Day 4 – Rotational Fasting Challenge (Thursday 2/8)”
Day 2 – 25 Day Rotational Fasting Challenge
I’m definitely feeling a little hungry this morning and seeing as I only dropped one pound, I’m here in my bed considering my “wise” choice to embark on this journey. I’ve reminded myself a few times, that I’ll thank my future self later, but that isn’t doing a whole lot to comfort me! So, here’s a recapContinue reading “Day 2 – 25 Day Rotational Fasting Challenge”
