Grounding, Intuitive Medicine / By

  On Monday I had a wonderful guest give some great tips on reducing anxiety and taking charge over anxiety. I struggled with extreme anxiety as a child and a young adult, and feeling like I have loosened the grips of anxiety over my life makes me feel so free. But recently, as I was preparing for my role in filming The Grounded and traveling down to interview two moon walking astronauts… well, I was pretty nervous. I’ll admit it, very very very nervous.   Trouble sleeping, knot in my stomach, insecure about everything from what I look like to […]

Got Anxiety?

Female Health, Healthy Mindframe / By

Meet Gina Rafkind, CPC. Gina is the Holistic Anxiety Coach + Chief Anxiety Buster at VedaSun. She helps women bust through anxiety so they can get moving on their creative dreams. I have a particular affection for Gina and asked her to share her website and thoughts on my blog today because I suffered incredibly from anxiety as a child. It was so bad that sometimes I would literally pace my bedroom in a circle all night long until woke up in the morning passed out on the floor. It was so bad that I felt embarrassed about it. It

My secret to wiping out pit stink FOREVER!!! Even in the hottest weather!!!!

Female Health / By

Never thought I’d be blogging about my armpit, so I had no idea what picture to put with this post… but luckily my hubby accidentally shot a random outtake picture of my pit/shoulder area when he was taking necklace pictures for me. So here we go… Armpit funk. I’ve had it all my life. Not super bad, mind you… just a little stickiness when I wake up in the morning, or afternoon funk from the southern heat of the SC lowcountry. I’ve tried lots of natural deodorants (I refuse to use antiperspirants) and enjoy them… but find they don’t it

How To Get The Best of Yeast

Female Health, Intuitive Medicine / By

Yeast overgrowth is absolutely no fun. And it can really get worse in the warmer months as yeast love nothing more then moist, hot, sticky skin/mucosa to flourish on. I remember seeing a sweet older female patient that was absolutely miserable with Candida growth all over her skin… and it was particularly bad underneath her breasts where they touched her upper abdomen. Being that it was a particularly hot summer, she was hot and itchy and in her own personal hell! I was a bit more conventional back then, so I’m especially thinking of her as I type up this

Why Our Brain Craves FAT!!!

Healthy Weight, Positive Parenting / By

This is a blog post I wrote last year and it is the perfect time to re-release it as it explains a bit about what brains need to grow and remain flexible and make new connections. Especially in those early childhood years. I really enjoyed writing this post and hope you will find it full of not only solid medical advice but also heart open intuitive advice as well. Here we go:     Concerned parents ask me all the time if they should be forcing their children to eat a certain amount of veggies each day, and still other

Preventing Alzheimers…

Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports / By

  (We saw this double rainbow out of our window when we were driving in the rain a few weeks ago… my hubby was driving and I snapped this blurry pic to capture the magic!) Alzheimers runs on one side of my family, so this is a topic very near and dear to my heart. I’d like to do whatever I can while I am still mid-life to protect my brain as much as possible from developing this devastating disease. Thankfully there are some very simple things you can do to boost your brain’s health and help ward off Alzheimers.

Everything Is Possible… an exercise in cultivating wonder

Healing Artwork, Healthy Mindframe, Positive Parenting / By

  When nothing is sure, Everything is possible. – Margaret Drabble   “Live In Possibility” On Wednesday we talked about how the brain ages… how it’s natural tendency is to get stuck in routine, limited by the confines of the skull, limited by concrete thinking. As we age, our brain goes literally from being malleable, flexible, growing, open fontanels and unfused skull plates to: encasement in bone linear thinking a huge storage place for labels and facts repetitive neuronal pathways. If you can find a way to keep your neuronal interconnections growing, you literally keep your brain younger. Adaptable. Warding
