Because of this, many habits you learned were imprinted on your mind when you were very young. The amazing thing is these habits have a powerful influence over you for the rest of your life.

On a basic level, most people think of their immune system as a body-wide filter that saves us from getting sick. This filter pulls the “bad guys” (i.e. bacteria and viruses) out from hiding, kills them, and then gets rids of them. In reality, your immune system is . . . Read More
No wait – if I’m honest, this all started yesterday. I had a long day and my to-do list was growing exponentially, I knew there was decisions I had to make that I been procrastinating on, that I would have to face soon. It all summed up to be a giant ball of stress growing in the pit of my stomach. Feeling a little sick to my stomach I went to bed and “slept” for the 5 and . . . Read More
In fact the human brain is 60% fat (gives a whole new meaning to calling someone a fathead haha) and if our brains are not working properly because of a lack of good fats – well you can guess that the rest of your body isn’t going to work as well . . . Read More
My naturopath recently suggested this therapy to reduce sinus congestion but she tells me it is also effective in relieving head and chest colds, earaches, the flu, sore throats and even allergies. Since she is a genius and I trust her I will pass on her advice to you. It’s called the “cold socks treatment” (yes you read that right!): Step 1: . . . Read More
Let me tell you about the skin. It technically is considered a body “organ” because it has functions just like the other organs of the body (brain, liver, stomach, etc).

So last year, when you made your resolutions, how long did they last? A week, a month, a few days? Did you know that a whopping 80% of people will break their resolutions, and a third won’t even make it to the end of January!
It’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks, right?
I don’t post recipes very often – in fact I think this is the first! But lately clients have been asking, so here is one of my all time favourites…
It looks like we are heading in to cold and flu season once again…I have so many friends that are under the weather right now! So now would be a great time to start talking about staying healthy all winter long.
Ok so today didn’t start off that great.
I think by now we all know that some fats are better for us than others. Avocados, olive oil and others that are liquid at room temperature – unsaturated fats – are good for us.
Now here is an immune boosting treatment that I laughed at initially… ok I have to admit that sometimes I’m still a bit of a skeptic.
I found this article recently and thought it was an interesting read. It’s a good reminder why sometimes the quick solution isn’t always the best solution for your health – I think a valuable lesson can be taken from this. Enjoy!:
