When my friends were visiting a few weeks ago we found ourselves perusing shops at L.A. and California Fashion Marts (we went twice it was so much fun!) I wondered what size we all were?

Posted on by Monika | 0 Comments

Hippocrates, the father of Modern Day Medicine, said “Let Food Be Your Medicine”. I go a little further and add “Let Your Kitchen Be Your Pharmacy”. We can’t deny the powerful effects of a healthy diet from reversing aging and the potential for disease, helping you think better, move better and ultimately feel better.

Recently I was perusing an on-line newsletter where they were talking about Weapons of Mass Destruction – but they weren’t arms, guns, etc – it was about food!

You might be afraid of dieting – even the word scares most of us. Why? Because we feel we will fail. You may not know this but 90% – 95% of Women’s Self Esteem is based on their body image. Surprising? Based on my nearly 20 years in practice I have seen, felt and heard the pain surrounding how we women feel about our bodies. …

Do you ever feel like you are wearing a mask? Hiding a part of yourself you want so very much to show and express – yet you constantly stop yourself from doing so? You want to be that lean person wearing the Hip and Now Fashions, even a pair of Skinny Jeans may fit the bill. Or how about the clothes you’ve already got? You…
