A Few Extra Pounds Helps You Survive Infections

Ebola has been front page news all summer, so you would think this recent medical study would be as well…   …but instead, this study on surviving overwhelming infection remains largely hidden.     Of course, anything that shows there is a WIDE diversity to “healthy weight” — that there is a reality so much wider than the current definitions of under weight, “normal” weight, over weight, mild and severe obesity — is hidden by the media.   That makes sense, as the weight loss industry is a 20 BILLION dollar industry IN THE UNITED STATES ALONE!!! So, of course […]

Sleep Dramatically Impacts Your Weight

  I’m re-posting this important medical study I blogged about last year, because it came up during an interview that I just gave on BlogTalkRadio two weeks ago… …and I realized that so many folks still don’t know how dramatically lack of sleep can affect weight!     A study published in SLEEP last July found that folks gained a significant amount of weight after only 5 days of poor sleep.   Previous studies have shown a link between poor sleep and weight gain, but this is the first study where participants slept in-house in a sleep facility and the

Plan To Get Your Body Moving In 2014?

If you follow my blog, you already know I am a huge fan of walking to reduce your risk of diabetes as well as for cancer recovery.   Moving my body more is certainly an ongoing goal for me in my own life… something I really want to do but never seem to find the time to prioritize. I don’t have the time (or desire) to fit in trips to the gym and I’ve never found an exercise DVD that I’ve felt like doing more than once. Enter… The Inspire Workouts.   This is an innovative program that combines positive

Sleep Deprivation Found To Increase Weight After Only A Few Days

  A new study, recently published in SLEEP last month (July 2013) found that folks gained a significant amount of weight after only 5 days of poor sleep.   Previous studies have shown a link between poor sleep and weight gain, but this is the first study where participants slept in-house in a sleep facility and the actual weight gain was measurably significant after only a handful of 4 hour nights in a row. Here are the study details: Researchers took 225 healthy adults with no history of sleep problems. Half of the participants had time in bed from 10

Eating And Emotions… My Story

It’s been very interesting to travel down an unexpected road, one that I had no idea awaited for me, and to just put one foot in front of the other and walk it. It’s painful no doubt, but as I walked this path I have had the chance to LIVE so much of what I intuitively *knew* about how digestion, the solar plexus and our emotions are all tied in together.   The first day that I awoke to find a farewell letter from my husband on my kitchen table… my solar plexus got a sucker punch I never saw

The Most IMPORTANT Thing You Will EVER Read About Your Weight.

  Here it is.   This is not something you are going to hear from your regular doc. But it is so so important and you should know it and *feel* this truth: You do NOT need to lose weight… not even one single pound…unless you are morbidly obese. If you are overweight, you actually have LESS risk for dying then someone in the ideal weight category.   And if you are mildly obese, up to BMI of 35%, you have a death rate that is exactly the same as peeps in the “ideal weight” category (check out the chart
