BMI can’t tell us if we’re healthy

We’ve known for some time the body mass index (BMI) is an inaccurate measuring stick for assessing someone’s weight and associated health.

Getting fitted for a bra (for dummies)

Allow me to start at the conclusion: Get fitted by a professional, it will be worth it. Take it from someone who was convinced she was a DD cup, and is actually a generous F.

Mindful eating: The missing piece in your gut health puzzle

Have you heard of mindful eating? Over the past 12 years, I’ve helped thousands of individuals to recover from digestive issues such as IBS and food intolerance. Mindful eating has been a powerful tool to transform these patients (and myself) from bloated and anxious to bloat-free and happy. 

Uplifting advice: 12B or not 12B, that is the question
