Are You Keeping Track?

Posted on by Monika | 0 Comments

There’s been a lot of excitement — and also confusion — about wearables lately. I’ve had more and more clients asking me: Do I really need one? Will it help me live longer and healthier, or is it just the latest fad? It’s a fair question. Between flashy advertising, friends recommending their favorite gadgets, and the sheer number of choices on…

Are You Armed For Who YOU Are Today?

Posted on by Monika | 0 Comments

When Did This Happen? Let’s be honest: at a certain age, many of us start looking at our arms and wondering, what happened? Once trim and toned, now… softer, fuller, less recognizable. Not long ago, I was in the fitting room at my local outlet mall when I caught sight of my bare arms in the mirror. I didn’t recognize them. When…

Unlock Your Health Through Nature’s Wisdom & Color

Posted on by Monika | 0 Comments

We are naturally drawn to color. Think of a vibrant plate of orange carrots, deep-green kale, blueberries, or red peppers — our bodies instinctively recognize these as nourishing. That’s no accident. The natural colors of foods come from polyphenols and phytochemicals, which are powerful compounds that protect plants — and when we eat them, they protect us too. But here’s…

Dance Into Your Next Step Now!

One of my clients, a lifelong dancer who loved tango and other styles, was feeling stuck in her health program. She saw her action steps as a list of “have-tos” — heavy, overwhelming, and joyless. So, I suggested a reframe: What if each thing you do is a dance step instead of a chore? She instantly lit up. Thinking of it…

Protein: How Much Is Really Enough? (And Why It Matters More Than You Think)

Posted on by Monika | 0 Comments

There’s been a lot of noise about protein lately. Powders. Bars. Shakes. Claims that you need massive amounts to build muscle or lose weight. And while some of these may have their place—especially for those with restricted diets—there’s a growing disconnect between what’s hyped and what your body actually needs. So let’s clear the clutter and bring it back to…

The Shoes That Made Me Ask: Who am I now?

Posted on by Monika | 0 Comments

I bought a pair of shoes… thinking I’d grow into the version of myself they represented. Maybe you’ve done something similar—bought an outfit, made a plan, or signed up for something that felt just out of reach, hoping it would nudge you closer to the life you imagined. For me, those shoes represented a return to who I was before. Before COVID. Before caregiving. Before…

Perfect Timing for Energy and You

Posted on by Monika | 0 Comments

After working with clients for over 25 years–through weight loss plateaus, burnout from fad diets, and even GLP-1 medications like Ozempic–I’ve seen one truth repeat itself: If your body’s rhythm is off, nothing sticks. You might be eating better.You might even be taking a medication that suppresses your appetite.But if your internal clock isn’t working with you… your results will…

Open Now: A Personal Message Inside

Posted on by Monika | 0 Comments

After three decades in practice, I took an unexpected pause from public work to care for my husband through a long and complex illness. After his passing, I needed space. To grieve. To regroup. To rediscover what healing looks like for me now. That chapter–while deeply private–shaped me in ways no certification or training ever could. It deepened my compassion,…

How to get your 24-Hour clock in sync

Posted on by Monika | 0 Comments

Our bodies function on a 24-hour internal clock known as the Circadian Rhythm–a biological system that regulates everything from digestion to hormone production, energy levels, and sleep cycles. This clock isn’t dictated by the time on the wall but by light exposure, meal timing, and daily activity patterns. For thousands of years, humans followed a natural cycle of light and…

To Ozempic or Not to Ozempic?

Posted on by Monika | 0 Comments

Ozempic has officially entered the wellness zeitgeist. Once prescribed primarily for Type 2 diabetes, it’s now making headlines in Hollywood circles, wellness forums, and everyday conversations about weight loss–especially for women navigating midlife metabolism shifts. But behind the headlines and hashtags lies a deeper question: Is Ozempic the miracle we’ve been waiting for–or just another quick fix with long-term consequences?…
