Do it anyway… Do you ever feel like staying home and curling up on the couch with a good book instead of moving your body? I do… Yet… 100% of the time, after yoga, I feel better. 100% of the time, after a run, I feel better. 100% of the […]
The other day, I was sitting in my home office and looked up at my bookshelf filled with dozens of books about health, wellness, nutrition, and eating theories. As I read their spines, titles I am all too familiar with, I had this thought: I bet if I were to […]

Broccoli raab is one of my top three green vegetables. I think I could probably eat it every day for a month and still not get sick of it. Few things smell better to me than garlic simmering in butter. Many of my recipes start this way, some healthier than […]
-by Debbie Peterson Something I tell my clients over and over again but often forget to do myself is to be kind to myself. I suppose that goes to show how much easier said than done some things are. I have several reminders in places around my home and work […]
The ache in my hips, my knees and my legs keeps me awake. It’s this foreign pain – mysterious germs are raiding my body. It is a simple cold. But I am “miserable.” In the beginning, I had a good attitude, was productive at the office–almost more so for fear […]
