It’s that time of year, when we’re on a mission to drop a few pounds. And after a December of gluttony, who can blame us? I don’t believe in magic solutions or rapid weight loss, but I do believe in small but significant changes that not only help your waistline but also make your life […]
Have you been working out lately? It seems that my usual exercise haunts are quieter than normal. Treadmills are empty. Pilates reformers are going unused.

In case you missed my last post, I wrote about the amazing Sleep Solution System and how it helped me find my good night’s sleep again. The Sleep Solution is the holistic answer to your sleep […]
