I get really jazzed about what spring has to offer: tulips, fava beans, asparagus and ballet flats (finally). But with spring also comes the wave of food and diet trends, and this season, it’s all about the juice cleanses. I’ve gotten tons of questions about juice cleanses from friends and clients wanting to know my thoughts [...]
How did you spend your Earth Day? I attended a seminar on plant-based eating which unintentionally coincided with the Earth Day walk here in the city. This entire week really got me thinking about what I was doing to contribute, or whether I was contributing at all. I’ve definitely made a conscious effort in the past few [...]
Recently, a girlfriend and I were talking careers, jobs and future projects, which eventually led us to the topic of money and saving. “I’m trying to save-up, but I just can’t figure out where all my cash keeps going” she said. But after some digging and tracking of her spending habits, she realized that she [...]
Winter isn’t exactly prime time for produce, so I can understand why people feel uninspired or not “in the mood” for salads during colder months.

I can think of few things capable of causing both anxiety and excitement quite like the scale. I’ve seen individuals with perfectly healthy relationships with [...]
It’s been one month since the New Year and I’ve spent a fair amount of time probing clients and friends about their food-related resolutions. One of the most common? A desire to cut down on refined grains. And to that, I give two thumbs up. But for such a resolution to be sustainable, it’s important to [...]
Here’s the scenario: It’s 5 pm, you’ve finished work and you’re headed straight to your workout session. You keep your gym bag in the car, knowing full well that if you stop by the house, that workout might not happen. Great move. After some traffic, you get to the gym and have a so-so workout… [...]
In my holiday newsletter this year, I shared the following, as my 2013 “mantra”: Cook More, Order Less Sweat More, Sit Less Eat Real More, Eat Junk less Smile More, Stress Less Among the holiday wishes (tx!) and feedback I received, I did get a few comments from people wondering what changes they could make [...]
