Harsh though it sounds, tracking everything from food intake to body measurements ensured fat loss success, created accountability, and eliminated potential weight loss resistance barriers. Researchers validate my rule. One study from The Center for Health Research (CHR) involving nearly 1,700 participants...

Photo credit: Paul Delmont, -Thrive Market - Coconut oil may be the reigning queen of oils—and for -a ton of good reasons-—but -pumpkin seed oil- is worthy of a royal title of its own when it comes to beauty. The iconic orange fruit pops up in everything during the fall months, including spiced lattes and rich, creamy pies, but it tends to falls off the map after Thanksgiving dinner ends. And that's...

Although there is no question that we should all set goals meant to improve our health, such goals, though, need to be realistic, measurable and achievable.

How many chemicals, drugs or food substances can you think of that have been scientifically tied to at least 45 different medical ailments, symptoms and diseases?

Most grocery store chains now devote an entire aisle to "health foods" and consumers will find many gluten free choices there. Lately, I've had clients without celiac disease or gluten intolerance ask whether they should go on a gluten free diet to improve their health. The emergence of...

You've likely encountered them in spades along your journey: friends, family, and coworkers who covertly or overtly attempt to sabotage your fat loss efforts. One thing’s for certain: they inevitably will appear, usually during your weakest, most vulnerable moments. Save for a few psychologically, um, challenged folks, I don’t think most people are evil. Regardless, for whatever deluded or other misguided...

In spite of the fact that we collectively know more about health issues than at any other time in history, it can also be said that most people today are more confused about what constitutes definitive/conclusive health knowledge than at other times in history.
