I've come to the conclusion that Erin Postle is one of my favourite people. She's a former high school counsellor who became a weight loss coach, nearly bankrupted her family, then went on to achieve health and wealth with Isagenix. I've had the good fortune to talk with her quite a few times and I … Continue reading Summer Body Shaker with Erin!

All Things are Possible – Susan Sly on Triumphing over Multiple Sclerosis
The other day, my friend sent me an interview with a woman named Susan Sly. I loved it, and I hope you will, too. Susan is one of the highest paid women in network marketing, which means she is highly ambitious and energetic, as all successful entrepreneurs must be. A less-known fact is that she … Continue reading All Things are Possible – Susan Sly on Triumphing over Multiple Sclerosis
30 Day Challenge: Sleep
Last night I did something I haven't done in decades. I crawled into bed, read Facebook for a few minutes, turned off the light, and woke up again over eight hours later. I'd actually reset the sleep goal on my Jawbone UP from 8 hours to 7 because I had completely despaired of ever achieving … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: Sleep
30 Day Challenge: Second Cleanse Day
Well, the second cleanse day of this thirty-day challenge came and went without much fanfare. I was remarkably hungry in the morning, probably because I'm still struggling with my carbs-at-night habit, sigh. But I did OK with my Cleanse for Life and lots of water, largely thanks to my friend Sarah Khan, who has started … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: Second Cleanse Day
30 Day Challenge: Reflections on Week One
So, it's been seven days since I started this challenge. I've had a cleanse day and a Shabbat, a kettlebell class and lots of walking. Ups and downs. First of all, a report on numbers. My weight went down fractionally, just under a kilogram (about two pounds). Clearly still in the noise. My measurements (which … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: Reflections on Week One
30 Day Challenge: The Empire Strikes Back
Well, it wouldn't be a story without some setbacks, would it? You would quickly get bored if all I did was sing the triumphs of my experiment here. This bag of peppermint tea was my absolutely best friend yesterday. I did survive the cleanse on Tuesday quite happily. I will admit, however, that as I … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: The Empire Strikes Back
30 Day Challenge: I Survived the Cleanse Day!
I did it! I survived an entire day on very little more than Cleanse for Life, water and chocolate. I was not particularly hungry. I even went for an hour-long walk! For anyone who is suspicious of this cleanse as being a diuretic, a laxative or worse, I can report that I am not the … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: I Survived the Cleanse Day!
30 Day Challenge: 2 Shake Days In
So, I've had the first two days of my 30 day challenge. They were both shake days, meaning that I replaced two of my meals (breakfast and lunch) with shakes. For snacks and dinner, I had nuts, fish and veggies, just as I would have on the SCD diet. I jazzed up the bland shakes … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge: 2 Shake Days In
Starting a Thirty Day Challenge
OK, I'm not usually this brutally honest in my photographic appearances before you. But given how much better these products have been making me feel without any kind of system, I'm going to take on the 30 day challenge, and I had to provide some "before" pictures. This is where I'm starting from. Tomorrow is … Continue reading Starting a Thirty Day Challenge
Shake Report
Well, it's been about two weeks since I've been using this supplemental nutrition. It's time for an update. It's really hard to do a double-blind experiment on yourself, so I have been proceeding with extreme caution. There's no doubt that I started feeling better a few days after starting, but that could well have been … Continue reading Shake Report
