And the battle continues. I want to try to expand Annabelle’s palate a little with new foods. Or better yet, foods that she used to like and has suddenly become too picky to eat. So I pulled out one of my old breakfast favorite. Brown rice pudding. When I was single and lived in NYC […]

Vitamins and supplements are very individual and depend on a variety of factors. When I design a supplement regimen for a client some of the things I take into account are: age, sex, current deficiencies, health problems and risk factors. Dose is also dependent on the same list of factors and what you’re looking to […]

We all have moments of stress when the world is just overwhelming and we can’t relax and can’t let things go. Sometimes a deep breath isn’t enough to just help us relax. The last few days have been pretty intense for me emotionally we have had a lot of unexpected things happen that have taken […]
