Photo credit: Alicia Cho, Thrive Market“Five a.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.” I raised my eyebrows. Sure, my new client seemed motivated to get her butt into gear, but that’s an early morning for anyone, trainers included. She promised she’d be there, no matter what. Monday rolled around, and I got a sleepy email explaining that she’d be 10 minutes late. Wednesday, the tardiness increased to a... 12/19/2015 8:00:00 AM

How to Make a Healthy Smoothie
by Joel Fuhrman, M.D.
About Me View My Posts
One of my missions is to educate the public about good nutrition. Often I find adults who do not understand how the foods they choose to eat play a significant role in their own health. Such is the case with smoothies.

About Me View My Posts
The hustle and bustle of the holidays is upon us and the parties, family gatherings and the like are keeping us pretty busy. We feel the coolness in the air, and the beauty of nature this time of year. It seems like a rebirth of sorts, as the earth prepares for the slumber of winter and the birth of spring.

A Christmas Carol--the Vegan Edition
by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts
Preamble: There is little doubt that Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol (1843) for meat-eaters (carnivores); notice, for example, how the blokes looking for alms at the beginning of the tale tell Scrooge they want to buy the poor "meat & drink." Note also how Scrooge says that there is more of "gravy than grave" in regards to the ghost of Jacob Marley (otherwise named in this story). And, as final... 12/5/2015 5:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
Is it just me or does it get more and more difficult every year to find those special gifts that stand apart from the traditional mall fodder as unique or original?A candle even for a candle lover seems predictable, overdone and just plain blah after so many seasons of giving. The same can be said for bath sets, food baskets, calendars, etc. For many of us the decision to "keep it modest this year"... 12/2/2015 8:00:00 AM

The presents are all open. The living room is a wreck. The new trike is on its side in the hall. The tree is dropping pine needles on the wrapping that hasn't been picked up. Two toys are already broken. Dad's sweater is too scratchy. You've come to grips with the fact that your MasterCard bill totals four house payments. Your oldest daughter likes none of her new clothes. The whole family is exhausted... 12/1/2015 8:00:00 AM

Resolving oneself to an action of self-improvement at the start of a new year has been around since the time of the ancient Babylonians, who made declarations of things like repaying their debt or returning items to their rightful owners.While we all start out with good intentions, studies show that year after year, though our confidence may be high, almost a full 90% of us fail at achieving our New... 12/1/2015 8:00:00 AM

It's that time of year. Halloween has just passed, the once abundant supply of Snickers bars, lollipops and Tootsie Rolls now nothing more than empty wrappers and the eclectic mixture of smells in a pillowcase. Now we have Thanksgiving, Christmas and a season's worth of birthdays to contend with as we try to navigate our way to a healthier body. However, lurking under all of these obvious triggers... 11/25/2015 8:00:00 AM
