Diets are evil and steal our power. As an enthusiastic proponent of the Net Fuel program, and a joyful and grateful partner with a company that makes nutritional support products, you may find that a bit odd and disingenuous of me. But here's the deal. I learned to stop doing diets years ago, and I … Continue reading Why I’m Never Using the Word Diet Again, and You Shouldn’t Either

Keto Love!
Are you looking for Keto Love? Keto is a big buzzword these days ... it is short for ketogenic diet, and it really just means a low net carb, high fat, moderate protein lifestyle that promotes a healthy ketosis. Ketosis is just a fancy word for fat-burning. Would you like to be less dependent on sugar … Continue reading Keto Love!
Why You Need to be Accountable to Have Success
We are three weeks into January, how are your resolutions doing? I hope the answer to that question was not too painful for you, but statistics are against us - research shows that 92% of people abandon their resolutions before the end of January. Why is that? There are various reasons, but an important one … Continue reading Why You Need to be Accountable to Have Success
Dealing with Counter-Productive Habits
Spring is when a middle-aged woman's fancy turns to mending the ravages of winter – the all-too-obvious results of months of comfort food, sun deprivation and less exercise. Add in stress from family or work and overeating from the spring holidays, and most people are feeling less than optimal these days. Tight clothes and reduced … Continue reading Dealing with Counter-Productive Habits
Prep Week – Cleaning Up Some Counter-Productive Behaviours

I'm grateful to say that I haven't smoked since 1991, but staying up too late, … Continue reading Prep Week – Cleaning Up Some Counter-Productive Behaviours

I’m giving a webinar, take two
Well, if you tried to join my first webinar on January 9, you know what happened, or rather, didn't happen. My webinar didn't happen. Of course, I took off for Phoenix two days later, so I didn't have time to straighten out the technical issues with Zoom right away. But tonight I had a good … Continue reading I’m giving a webinar, take two
I’m Giving a Webinar!!
OMG. I am doing something I've never done before, and I'm hoping you will be there to support me. I'm giving a webinar. Like everyone else, I've watched tons of them, and as a recovering scientist of course I've given talks before. I know how to make a Power Point presentation, and I even know … Continue reading I’m Giving a Webinar!!
Starting the New Year Off Right
Everyone makes resolutions this time of year - even those whose only resolution is not to make any. There's just something about a crisp new planner, an empty calendar, and the struggle to remember to write a different year on things. While for many reasons the real beginning of the year is in September, that … Continue reading Starting the New Year Off Right
Dealing with Overwhelm
It’s that time of year again. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, this is the time of “the holidays”, and everybody is expected to be festive. What a burden that can be. All our senses are overloaded this time of year – from the repetitive music and noisy crowds in the shopping malls, to the … Continue reading Dealing with Overwhelm
