Do you ever find yourself captivated by the sky, the ocean, the trees, the birds and the bees? Wouldn't it be beautiful to have more of those moments of deep appreciation?  In this podcast, Jodi Grinwald of Today is the Day Live It, talks about how these moments of appreciation can help you get connected and allow yourself to get that good feeling we all live for.

Marilyn Schlossbach is an executive chef and restaurateur. She is an environmentalist, community activist, traveler, surfer, and mom who is on a continual quest for culture and knowledge and shares her passion for the road less traveled with her patrons and community. Wendy and I are big fans of Marilyn and have been going to her restaurants for years.  We were fortunate to be in an entrepreneurial networking group with her a few years ago where we got to know her a little more personally and soon after asked her to contribute to our cookbook: nourish a community supported cookbook. The recipes she contributed are Green Machine Smoothie, Cuban Grilled Corn, and Aloha Chocolate Mousse. Knowing Marilyn had her hands in a lot of pots (pun intended), we wanted to interview her to hear about her work and her philanthropy. We discuss how she is such a great example of following one’s  passions to create a career that allows her to continue her love of food, travel, and community advocacy. She talks about the chall

Adrenal Fatigue Adrenal fatigue is one of those diagnoses that is given to a lot of us who are feeling stressed out. It's not so much how to treat this condition as to how to learn how to deal with stress better. There is no magic medicinal cure, but we have some answers in this podcast.

Challenged with what to eat tonight? How often do you get stuck eating the same foods every day?  We all get in that rut, partially because we don't make the time to think about being creative or trying something new; partially because we just don't know what to try or how to prepare it. That's where we come in.  Here is our challenge podcast via Nourish Noshes.

Specifically:  DRINK WATER ... We all know we're supposed to drink water.  We all know we probably don't drink enough.  But, do you know exactly why you need to stay hydrated?  It's surprising what you may not know.  For instance, dehydration fuels anxiety, reduces performance and creates hunger (among many other things).  In our latest Nourish Noshes Podcast we spell out 10 reasons why drinking water can upgrade your health and performance.  Bonus:  If weight loss is your goal, can drinking more water help?  Listen here. PURE, UNADULTERATED WATER We don't talk about plastics and the hormone disrupting effects of BpA in this podcast - we talk about that in this podcast  But it deserves to be mentioned again.  Plastic water bottles are everywhere and we could go on a rant about the environmental impact.  We cringe seeing the water isle in Costco and witness the piles sitting in the window in the direct hot sun at dollar stores.  Buying bottled water is a waste of money and resources.  Suggestion: buy a Kleen

Connecting with others, whether it is family, friends, like-minded colleagues, athletic groups, or church community, is just as important as nutrition and movement. In our wellness journeys, we usually think about nutrition and movement (exercise) first.  Perhaps we ponder stress management, and maybe even our sleep, but rarely, if ever, do we consider “connection” as a pillar of health. In fact, if you have the healthiest plant-based diet and regular movement and strength training, but isolate yourself from others, you may have just as much of a chance of disease as a junk food eating, sedentary person who doesn’t isolate him/herself. Connecting is THAT important. Studies have found that those who are more isolated have more than twice the risk of disease than those with positive social relationships.  For more on the studies, see this link.  This is why we added our fifth pillar of “connection” to our Nourish Pillars of Health:  nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and connection. What are your

It's our fifth pillar of health. We need connections, and having a strong community is vital to our well-being.

"Change Your Perspective to Change Your Life."

  You've heard it before, that breakfast is the most important meal. Well, is it? Listen and learn . . .

Our interview with Bailey Frumen is inspiring and uplifting. Give it a listen.

We introduce toxins to our skin and breathing air every day without knowing it. What you don't know CAN hurt you.

Do we always practice what we preach as health coaches?

It's a word you've heard, for sure, but maybe you think, "Not me. Not yet," or "What is that anyway?" If your in your 40's, you are probably in the midst of perimenopause, so why not explore and celebrate it? May seem odd to say, so why not start your exploration right here . . . Listen.

Whether or not you believe in making resolutions, the idea behind it is usually always to improve ourselves, and that's not such a bad thing. But why wait until January 1st or the first day of Spring, or your birthday? Why not just make realistic, attainable goals right now. Today. Go ahead, do it. Now.

As we discussed last podcast "It's Your Move," movement is of utter importance to our health. But, it's not quite that simple. In our modern times, we are moving in ways our bodies weren't designed for and the end result is pain and often injury. This podcast, we interview Chris Verdi, owner and founder of a fitness studio in Allenhurst, New Jersey. He has a very different take on exercise and his work has helped hundreds of people be free of pain and injuries. Listen to learn more about his philosophy and practice.
