  • Podcast: Self Talk-I can Do This

    Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Life is like a marathon.  Just when you think it is too tough to go on, you hear a cheer from the crown, and you get a second wind.  Nothing changed, there were just some strangers cheering and ringing cow bells.  There was a study where they flashed smiley…

  • Blogpost: Let’s Talk about Breakfast

    Nothing is without confusion. Should we eat breakfast? Should we wait until we are hungry? What about kids? Should they eat breakfast? I am a morning person. I didn’t use to be a breakfast person. Ok, I didn’t use to be a healthy breakfast person. Morning is peaceful. A fresh new day. The stillness as…

  • Podcast: Sarasota Vegefest and More

    Welcome! and thank you for listening.  Addie Majnaric RDN and I attended the Sarasota Vegefest last weekend. We had an information tent, and I was on the physician’s speaker panel and 2 of our members were on the success story panel.  I discuss our day and the panel discussions on this podcast.  Who goes to…

  • Blogpost: How much weight can you exercise off?

    Most people blame the lack of exercise for weight gain. If only they had more time or discipline to exercise their weight would be better. Gym memberships are as common as Netflix accounts, but we still have an obesity problem in this country. I see the same 3 people walking on my morning runs. No…

  • Blogpost: Can we go back to calling candy bars candy bars instead of energy bars?

    I enjoy doing endurance events such as marathons and triathlons.  Often, they have “goody bags” that contain energy bars and gels.  The first thing I do is flip them over and check out the ingredients.  I skip to the last highlighted line first because that is where they must list the food allergens such as dairy,…

  • Podcast: How Surviving a Marathon is a lot like Surviving the Holiday Season Plant Based

    Welcome and Thank you for listening. I finished the marathon but it did not go as I had wished. I probably should have seen it coming and adjusted accordingly, but it was the last marathon of the year, and I wanted to make sure I gave it my all. Unfortunately, my all occurred at about…

  • Blogpost: That One Second Decision

    Everything was going great. You had your morning oatmeal with flaxseed and blueberries and did your morning walk.  You pull into Starbucks to order a tall black coffee and in a split second before the barrister takes your order you change to a venti Christmas Ginger Latte with whipped cream.  You drink it and in…
