Bring The Family Back To The Table
It’s a busy world out there and many people lose focus at times two of the most important things in life: Health and Family. It doesn’t matter how much money one has, without our health we have nothing. The funny thing is that having a close knit family can improve your health and that’s why […]
Meditation For Kids 1
Our kids live in a world of non-stop buzz, homework, over programming, video games, tablets and so much more. They are constantly overworking their brains and bodies. This is of course OK (to some extent), but they too need some balance in their life. Meditation is becoming more and more popular amongst adults and meditation for […]
Packaging Claims: Don’t Believe it! 1
My Rule of thumb is: If it is written on the front of packaged food, don’t believe it. Packaging claims are really just that…claims. Usually false claims at that! Check it out for yourself. Recently I read about Almond Breeze being sued for false advertising. In short, they do not contain enough almonds in it […]
I Don’t Believe In The 80/20 Rule
I don’t believe in the 80/20 rule. It’s all the rage right now. Everyone is saying it. It is actually also known as the “Pareto Principle” that originally had nothing to do with a healthy lifestyle. You know people will say: “I eat clean and take care of myself 80% of the time so I […]

We all grew up learning about the “three R’s”: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. But then we actually grew up, and the “three R’s” became Run, Rush and Ready. There have definitely been times where I have taken the easy way out instead of doing the best I can to protect the world we live in. I […]
Do You Have Candida?
As I sit here waiting to see my Naturopathic doctor, I am compelled to write about candida. I first heard about candida a few years ago. I think it was some kind of comedic blog of a woman’s bad experience in a well known health food store. There were representatives there who told her she […]
Can a Family Walk Save You?
Today, women and men, mothers and fathers are so busy. Kids too. Everything is rushed. Our clients get home from work, feed the kids dinner, do homework, bathe the kids…you get the picture all too clear, right? Well, It’s not news to you that this fast paced life throws off our hormones and makes us […]
The Yoga Conference & Show
When you think about a yoga show…what do you picture? A bunch oh hoitty-toitty women prancing around in their Lululemon outfits and perfect makeup? That is kinda what I expected to see. This weekend I attended the Yoga Conference & Show here in Toronto. It was my first yoga show. I have heard lots about […]
