You may have noticed that I talk a lot about bio-identical hormones and how they can fix what ails our aging bodies. I also understand the neuropsychology (brain science) and how hormones and chemicals affect our behaviour. One of the most important chemicals is the one that is present in chocolate. So there is a…
DetailsThe problem with staying on most diets is threefold (in my opinion). 1. Cravings. Your body wants sugar, salt, fat or something else it thinks it’s missing and you struggle to turn it down. If you don’t get cravings (you are lucky), but you also don’t get the power they have for someone who does.…
DetailsWe’ve had a number of inexpensive date nights over the last few weeks. I’m so my Mother’s daughter and find myself cutting coupons for restaurants and great outings. I always forget the grocery ones, and rarely remember my grocery bags but I love finding those $30 date nights suggestions in my Valpak. Grouon is a…
DetailsI laughed so hard I peed my pants. Well it doesn’t take much these days for me to pee my pants. I’ve had two kids (with very large melons, both of them), lower hormones as I slide towards menopause, and a bladder the size of a thimble. If I’m not careful I leak when I…

Doctors are saying take 2,000 mg in the winter months, but some weight loss specialists are saying to take even more. Up to 4,000 mg. Now a recent study from…
DetailsDiet – that nasty four letter word. I’m trying to lose weight – again. In fact I’m always trying to lose weight because like most people, I can’t seem to find the discipline to stay the course. Or maybe it’s that I havent; found a new program that works. I lost the 160 pounds by…
DetailsA clip from the recent press release which simply summarizes the problem of fat burning vs calorie. I thought he summarized it beautifully. I’m looking forward to interviewing him for the Love and Lipstick radio show this week. Stay with it and have a listen to the MP3 with more about hormones and fat burning.…
DetailsI know it’s important to be authentic when marketing yourself on an online dating site. However I think it’s equally (if not more) important to make sure your co-workers don’t find you online nd make a comment. Confidentiality is a big reason why more people don’t use them. Give your uncertainty when meeting someone for…
