Energy drinks vs ENERGY Drinks

Growing up as an athlete, Gatorade was THEE sports drink. You weren't considered a REAL athlete unless you had a few bottles in your workout bag. Now, there are so many energy drinks to choose from, it can get confusing as to what is what. So let me give you my clever perspective on energy drinks. The commercials boasted about how it gives you energy and fills up with electrolytes.

Most of the energy drinks are loaded with sugar and caffeine. With such a jolt from all of that sugar and caffeine, you are sure to get a buzz. The loaded caffeine and sugar, quickly spikes up your blood levels in addition to the adrenals only to bring you back down just as quick. 

By coming down so quickly, the body becomes sluggish and craves for more. Before you know it, you are drinking another can of sugar and caffeine to bring you back up. This cycle can put wear and tear on the adrenals and blood sugar levels to the point of causing damage. Very few brands of energy drinks contain any of the necessary vitamins and minerals that you need to sustain the momentum you have without drinking more.

There are all natural drinks out that offer the energy you need to get your through the day and add the necessary vitamin and minerals you need. Green drinks for example, depending on what’s in them, can provide a full serving of fruits and vegetables, fiber and in some cases even protein. Juicing can bring energy to your morning with juice extracted from fresh fruit and vegetables. Not only do you get a few hours of energy from juicing, you also get the much needed vitamins, minerals and fiber.
Another way to get an all natural energy drink in your day is with smoothies. Smoothies can supply the body with fresh fruits, vegetables, fiber and protein when made right. While all natural juices and smoothies contain sugar and the body doesn't recognize it from table sugar or natural sugar, juices and smoothies supply the body with so much more once the sugar has burned off.
There's another family of beverages that can give you energy.  All natural drinks like teas, elixirs and tinctures can also provide the energy you are looking for without the sugar and caffeine. Not only are these drinks loaded with energy producing ingredients, they provide vitamins and minerals to help heal the body and keep it functioning properly. Herbs, flowers, herbal extracts and spices go into the development of teas, elixirs and tinctures. These ingredients have the spiritual properties of the plants and flowers for healing on all levels, which makes them excellent beverages.

New Chef in Town!!

Before I purchased my first house, I started buying the things I would need like bathroom accessories, kitchen stuff and pots and pans. I had no idea what Spirit was doing back then however as I reflect on it now, I can see where Spirit was going. Back then I was making big bucks or what I considered big bucks so I could afford to get the good stuff. I had no idea that I would later become a vegetarian or so health conscious when I decided to buy my pots and pans. The pots and pans that I purchased were Teflon free.

"The nonstick coating used in DuPont’s Teflon® pans has been found to release one or more of 15 different toxic gases when heated to certain temperatures. There are alternatives to Teflon cookware. Safer options include stainless steel, ceramic or cast iron. Anodized aluminum cookware is regarded by some to be better than Teflon, but others feel that aluminum is concerning as it is a potentially toxic metal.One of the main chemicals used in the manufacturing process of Teflon® and other nonstick pans is perflurooctanoic acid (PFOA) also known as C-8. This chemical has led to cancer and birth defects in lab animals, and may have led to birth defects in DuPont plant workers."

Aside from food tasting better, its better for you to cook on non Teflon cookware. Choose to live a healthier life.

Rose in Bloom

I love roses. Not just getting them, because I also buy them for myself to lift the mood, but because the fragrance. I’ve used roses for a number of love spells and products that I make. Roses have a feminine energy and are associated with many of the Deities such as Isis, Adonis, Cupid and Aurora.  Rose petals or rose hips have been used in healing spells and mixtures for centuries.  It is said that when sprinkled around the house, rose petals calm personal stress and personal upheavals. 

Did you know that you can eat flowers? Certain flowers have been shown to contain important nutrients. Used in herbal medicine, rose petals with its sweet and warmth acts on the liver and spleen. In healing, it is used to dry colds, clear mucus discharges and harmonizes blood."Bacteria die within five minutes when contacted with fresh rose petals which makes rose a perfect medicine for fighting skin diseases. Fresh rose petals will help cure festering wounds and burns; they may also alleviate allergic itching. Ancient doctors used rose water to treat upset nerves, fumed patients suffering from lungs diseases with rose incense and gave extracts of rose petals to patients suffering from heart and kidney diseases."

More Carrots than Bugs Bunny!!


The other day, the WorthCoach and I were discussing the contents of our refrigerator. She stated that she had received a boat load of carrots and didn’t know what she was going to do with them. I had received a couple of bags myself that were almost on their way out when given they were given to me. I didn’t want to throw them away but had to do something and quickly. We came up with, well juice them. 

Juicing is the best!! Fresh juices from juicing contain vitamins, minerals, enzymes and fluids necessary for body function. Carrots are loaded with vitamins and minerals. Extremely high in pro-vitamin A and contains vitamins B, C, D, E and K. The minerals found in carrots are calcium, phosphorous, potassium, sodium and trace minerals.  Skin and hair benefit from the protein and minerals found in carrots. While I am not particularly found of plain carrot juice, when mixed with other juices, it can be quite tasty. For example this healthy bone tonic supplies calcium for maintenance of healthy bones which includes 6 carrots, 4 kale leaves, 4 sprigs of parsley and half an apple. Drink up!!

Sugar Addiction


Most people are addicted to sugar and don't know it. For me, I think it is the hardest thing to give up. Sugar is in almost everything. "The average American consumes an astounding 2-3 pounds of sugar each week, which is not surprising considering that highly refined sugars in the forms of sucrose (table sugar), dextrose (corn sugar), and high-fructose corn syrup are being processed into so many foods such as bread, breakfast cereal, mayonnaise, peanut butter, ketchup, spaghetti sauce, and a plethora of microwave meals."  One of the reasons people get sick is that the foods they are eating are not immune boosting foods. "One of sugar's major drawbacks is that it raises the insulin level, which inhibits the release of growth hormones, which in turn depresses the immune system."A lot of people complain about loss of calcium in the bones. A possible culprit could be sugar. "Sugar interferes with absorption of calcium and magnesium." Aside from diabetes, sugar can cause other diseases and illnesses such as osteoporosis, food allergies, headaches and depression to name a few.

Holiday Eating

I always looked forward to holiday eating. Food everywhere. So much so, you could not even see the table. The big ole turkey alone took up half the table. Then there were all of the side dishes and tasty desserts. Yum!! Over the years my holiday eating has changed as did my eating habits. Since I no longer eat meat, my table got smaller. Now that I am a conscious eater, in addition to the lack of turkey, there a few menu items missing from the shopping list. I've added more vegetables and less simple carbohydrates to our table during the holidays. Eating during the holidays should be fun, not stressful about what to eat that's healthy. A few ideas to healthy eating are:
  • Eat until you are satisfied, not stuffed
  • Be careful with beverages. Alcohol can lessen inhibitions and induce overeating; non-alcoholic beverages can be full of calories and sugar.
  •  Preparing favorite dishes lower in fat and calories will help promote healthy holiday eating.
  • Refrigerate the gravy to harden fat. Skim the fat off. This will save a whopping 56 gm of fat per cup.
  • Dressing — Use a little less bread and add more onions, garlic, celery, and vegetables. Add fruits such as cranberries or apples. Moisten or flavor with low fat low sodium chicken or vegetable broth and applesauce.
  • Mashed Potato — Use skim milk, chicken broth, garlic or garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese instead of whole milk and butter.
There are more however this should get you started. Happy holidays!!

Milk Does the Body Good??

"Milk does the body good."  Remember that slogan? As a kid I drank milk by the gallons. It got worse after I became an athlete in high school and college. Milk was always promoted as THEE source of calcium, for strong teeth and bones, in addition of other vitamins. So naturally when I conceived my daughter, I drank more.

In high school and college, I suffered some terrible menstrual cycles. Never attributed to milk to be the cause of them. While I was pregnant, I experienced the same excruciating pain. I wasn't sure where the pain was coming from this time as I had not received my cycle yet. I continued to drink milk and eat other dairy products.

So now comes the birth of my daughter and the nurses try and feed her cow based formulas. My poor baby blew up like a balloon and turned red. After much trial and error and many formulas later, they came to the conclusion that my daughter was allergic to cow's milk. They put her on a goat's milk based formula.

 That seemed to work for her but what about me? Not thinking that milk and dairy was a problem for me, I continued to drink it. The cramping and bloating seemed to be getting worse but it wasn't from my cycle. I stopped drinking milk but continued with the ice cream. Eventually I stopped dairy all together as I could not with stand anymore of the pain. I ventured over to soy milk however I don't think I agreed with that either. So what was a gal to do? I had heard of the side effects of dairy. Some were:

  • *ALL* cow's milk (regular and 'organic') has 59 active hormones, scores of allergens, fat and cholesterol.
  • Most cow's milk has measurable quantities of herbicides, pesticides, dioxins (up to 200 times the safe levels), up to 52 powerful antibiotics (perhaps 53, with LS-50), blood, pus, feces, bacteria and viruses. (Cow's milk can have traces of anything the cow ate... including such things as radioactive fallout from nuke testing ... (the 50's strontium-90 problem).
  • Pathogens & Bacteria
I had to look into other forms of calcium. I had heard about rice milk, almond milk and coconut milk. Coconut milk has many benefits. "This natural drink is usually recommended for maintaining electrolyte balance and can also be used in case of dehydration. Some recent studies have suggested that coconut milk has hyperlipidemic balancing qualities, antimicrobial properties in the gastrointestinal tract or by topical application, and it has been used as a home remedy for healing mouth ulcers." To my surprise I actually like the almond milk. "Almond milk is a milky drink made from ground almonds. Unlike animal milk, almond milk contains no cholesterol or lactose. Regular, unsweetened almond milk can be used as a substitute for animal milk in many recipes, and as it does not contain any animal products, is suitable for vegetarians and vegans."



I am a proud promoter of cleanses and detoxing the body. When you remove everything from your diet and then slowly reintroduce the foods, you will see what your body does not like.

Shooo flu....don't bother me!!

Are you ready for the flu season? I am. Bring it on!! I was in the pharmacy store getting a couple of bottles of water, when the cashier says "We have flu shots available, would you like to get one?" I said "oh no thank you." She went on to say how prepared I needed to be for the winter season and blah blah blah. So what you are telling me, is because I said no to your flu shot, that makes me not prepared? Let me see if I am understanding her correctly. To prevent myself from catching the flu, she wants me to get injected WITH the flu? The very thought of someone giving me the very thing I am trying to avoid getting is strange to me. She continued on and again I said no thank you. This lady was relentless with this flu shot thing. OMG! So, I finally said to her "sweety, I am a holistic health practitioner, I will NEVER get the flu shot. But thanks for asking." I politely gave her my card and existed the building before she continued.

One of the reasons why most people get sick during the winter months is because they hibernate. As it gets colder, people tend to stay in doors more and not get much sunshine. "People who are exposed to normal quantities of sunlight do not need vitamin D supplements because sunlight promotes sufficient vitamin D synthesis in the skin. A human requires ten to fifteen minutes of sun exposure at least twice a week on the face, arms, hands, or back without sunscreen with a greater than 3 UV index for adequate amounts of vitamin D3.It is an immune system regulator. It may be an important way to arm the immune system against disorders like the common cold, say scientists from the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital and Children's Hospital Boston."

Another reason why people get sick during the winter months is because they are less active. "Exercising and being active can help protect you from heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, back pain, osteoporosis, and help manage stress." By not being active for those months, you can weaken the immune system. "A breakdown in any part of the system leaves the whole body susceptible to infection and illness." There are many ways to boost the immune system during these months. "The immune system is precisely that — a system, not a single entity. To function well, it requires balance and harmony."
  • Eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and low in saturated fat.
  • Exercise regularly.
  • Get adequate sleep
  • Take herbs such as Echinacea, Ginseng, and vitamins to boost the immune system
While there are some controversy as to whether or not herbs and vitamins actually help, the fact that remains is that it won't hurt. Doing all that you can to prevent the onset of a cold or any disease is the best method. A combination of eating healthy foods, excercise and a positive outlook on life goes a long way.

A diet by any other name

Everytime I go inot the book store, I am bombarded with diet books. Everyone and their granny has a diet book out. Even celebrities are coming out with fitness books or a new diet book. The word diet means a particular selection of food. The way that you eat. However, the way that the word has been thrown around lately, you would think it was a new designer handbag or something that everyone MUST have. The fact is, there ARE different ways to eat healthy.
  • Macrobiotic diet: "a dietary regimen which involves eating grains as a staple food supplemented with other foodstuffs such as local vegetables avoiding the use of highly processed or refined foods and most animal products.
  • Raw food diet: "is the practice of consuming uncooked, unprocessed, and often organic foods as a large percentage of the diet."
  • Vegetarian diet: "encompasses the practice of following plant-based diets (fruits, vegetables, etc.), with or without the inclusion of dairy products or eggs, and with the exclusion of meat (red meat, poultry, and seafood)."
Even within the vegetarian diet, there are different levels to the diet that people follow. There are many other diets and ways to eat. It's not that they are all wrong, they just may not be right for you. Just because diet worked for someone does not mean it will work for you.

I skimmed this book by a particular celebrity, now turned vegan and she had a wonderful story. However, the recipes called for ingredients that my local grocers did not carry. I would have to drive clear across to Virginia just to see if the store carried it and then drive back. Even if they did carry the ingredient, by the time I got home, I would be too tired to cook anything.

Many of the people I have met say they want to change their eating habits but don't know how or where to start. With all of the books and information out there on diets, it could get confusing and discouraging when you don't know where to begin. That is where a holistic health and wellness coach and nutrition consultant comes in. A holistic nutrition consultant educates you on the diet that would best benefit your nutritional needs. While the holistic health and wellness coach, will coach you along your journey to achieve the goals you have set. Starting this journey can be scary and therefore making it easy to put it off or quit when discouraged. Having someone there who knows nutrition and how to motivate you into action, makes it easier.

Holistic health care & the economy

The economy is rough right now. Everyone seems to be feeling the crunch. One day the market is up and the next day it is down. Our financial institutions are going to come crumbling down one day. Even though things are bad and times are rough, people are still spending. Spending unnecessarily and frivolously but spending nonetheless. But very few are spending on their health. So many people were in an uproar about the health care reform, saying this and saying that but what are people REALLY doing for their health on their own?

Getting clients for me, means I am constantly in people's faces trying to convince them that holistic health is the way to go. The main gripe that I get from people is that it cost too much to eat healthy. Well for a family of four at a fast food place, it will cost over $25. However, that $25 could buy frozen fruit to make smoothies for the family in the morning. The other chief complaint was that they didn't have the time to incorporate the things they needed to live a healthier life. Jane is an emotional shopper. She buys shoes, handbags and clothes more than three times a month to make her feel better. Instead of shopping that often, Jane could have a Reiki session to help her understand why she shops when she is emotional and to help her deal with that emotion.

Imet a potential client at Starbucks.  I had their fabulous green tea with zero calories, zero sugar, that cost me $1.50 for any size I wanted. She had a venti vanilla latte with 2% milk @ 320 calories and 43 grams of sugar. My potential client gulped down her vanilla latte as she proceeded to tell me why she could not "go alternative" right now.

There are plenty of life style changes that one can make that will not break the bank. Living an holistic life style is a proces and a journey. Start small. Instead of coffee in the morning, try herbal tea. Don't have time during the day, try waking up a half hour ealier to run, walk or meditate before starting the day. You can work with a holistic health and wellness coach or a nutrition consultation to help you prioritize and organize your life to incorporate healthier choices and adjustments.

Angry Food

I used to manage a program in a high school. There I did talks on eating healthy to teen parents and to a group of my own students. Before I began talking to the students about healthy eating choices, I observed their behavior for quite some time which was one of the reasons that prompted me to do the talks. I saw a disturbing pattern. I noticed every morning the students would run to the convenient store on the corner or McDonald's or both!! They would come in the school with blue juices, red juices, candy, chips, soda and of course shoveling in their breakfast from McDonald's which concerned me.
I had gone to a seminar called "Healing Mental Health Disorders Without Drugs" and the theme of the seminar was diet and nutrition. The seminar was given by a Dr. Charles Gant, who stated that a poor diet can affect behavior. A majority of the students at this school had either some behavioral issues or was classified as mentally disturbed. Most had very low reading levels as well. I knew that there was a correlation between the food that these students were eating, their behavior and their ability to concentrate. Fast food and junk food can be addictive. "Most fast-food meals are high in fat, high in sugar, high in calories, high in starch, high in salt, and low in fiber and nutrients. Because fast food lacks nutrients, after we eat it we’re not satisfied. That makes us hungry for more soon after."

Looking at the students I can tell they are dehydrated even after they have swallowed a 32 ounce Pepsi. They believe that because they are drinking soda, that it will hydrate their body. When I gave my talks, I educated my students on making healthier choices. Most of them responded well. They saw what I ate and knew that I was speaking from example. However, a lot of students complained that the foods that they wanted to eat, was not being provided in the homes. Carry out and fast foods was their way of life. This posed a challenge. However I was up for the task. I showed the students how they could make small changes that would make a big difference. I told them that instead of buying soda, buy bottled water. If they could purchase nothing else, water was going to be their best purchase. The next thing I suggested was fruit. Oh I got a lot of Angry Birds on that one. I told them that fruits and vegetables would help them concentrate more and make them less agitated or aggravated. Some students seemed to be okay with that but I can tell I was in for a fight with the vegetables.

When I told the students that I was an athlete and now personal trainer, that seemed to get sum attention. Most of the athletic students had questions that stemmed from "how can I have more energy to why am I always tired?" Those questions were easy to answer. Change your diet. It sounds easy but when it comes to students who are not buying their own foods, it may seem like moving a mountain. Process foods and junk food are quick and easy and in some cases cheap.  "Processed foods are foods that have been compromised by the addition of hormones, additives, preservatives, unnatural genetic material or other chemical or heat treatments that alter or destroy the natural healthy enzymes, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals." These can and have posed several health issues. Everyone should be educated on the what the fast food industry is doing. While they may have made food convenient, they have not made it healthy. 

As a holistic health and wellness coach, I provide education as well as coaching. There is nothing worse than being shown what to do but not an understanding of why you are doing it.

It's all in the label

No, I am not talking about Gucci or Prada but food labels. I see where your mind is... on shopping. Oh, maybe that was just me. I would love a Gucci bag but that is not the focus here. =)   I was in the grocery store, a rather large food chain grocery store, that has a "healthy SECTION". Not an isle or two but a section. Any way, I was looking for some healthy snacks and I saw some rice chips. Light, airy, no unsaturated oils and stuff. I said yes, this will work. I got the rice chips and a few other HEALHTY goodies and moved it along.

I crackes open those rice chips as soon as I got home. I started reading the back of the bag as I was crunching and munching and saw in the ingredients that my rice chips contain Red 40. Red 40... red 40... where have I seen that before? I could NOT think where I knew that ingredient from. Then it hit me. Red 40, or its other name FD & C Red 40, is a red power dye made from petroleum. It used to be manufactured out of coal tar but was later made from the petroleum. Alot of people are allergic to Red 40 and don't know it. Studies have shown links of Red 40 to ADHD and other mental health disorders. In other cases where the food clearly states on the front that it does not have preservatives, but on the back of the food label listed preservatives disguised by long vocabulary.

Now I was half way through the bag before I got this information. In my nutrition certification, we learned to read labels, look up words we did not know and then educate our clients on the importance of reading labels. Reading labels can prevent a lot of problems down the road. If you are on a caloric diet, reading labels before hand can tell you that the 20 ounce soda, of 180 calories that you just had, actually is doubled that. Most bottles are labeled based on per serving. The 20 ounce soda could be a serving and a half if not two servings per bottle. Most people have a smart phone where they can look up the ingredients right on the spot. Some manufactures try to fool you by using the full scientific name of the ingredient such as sodium bicarbonate, which is really just baking soda or using glucose, fructose and all of those other tose, which is another fancy name for sugar.

"You can read the Nutrition Facts label to determine the amounts of such nutrients as fat, sodium and fiber in specific products. Knowing this information can help you decide whether a food or beverage fits in to your eating plan or is appropriate if you have certain health conditions, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol. It also enables you to compare similar products to see which one might be a healthier choice.
The more practice you get reading food labels, the better you can become in using them as a tool to plan your healthy, balanced diet."

Become label savvy and I don't mean Donna Karen label savvy.

The Chicken or the Egg?

What comes first the chicken or the egg? I know we've all heard that one before. But it IS an interesting question. Anyhoo, I was baking brownies and I poured the batter into the bowl. I scraped what I could out and of course the rest was mine for the licking. As I was face deep in the bowl, I noticed on the box it said "Do not eat batter. Contains RAW eggs." O_o   Oops!!  I guess I should have seen that before I dove head first into the bowl.
When did eating raw eggs become a hazard? I can remember when my fellow athletes, not me of course, would down a couple of raw eggs for breakfast. So why all the hooplah now? Eggs provide a good source of protein. Has vitamins B, B12, A, D, E and K. Eggs also contain amino accides necessary for body metabolism.

The truth is, none of the food we eat now is like what it used to be say 40 years ago. So much is being done to our food that I wouldn't be surprised if the food just jumped up off of the plate and walked away.  All of our animals now are being pumped with steroids and hormones. The chickens  are the size of turkeys and the turkeys are the size of that little Smart Car that keeps stealing my parking spaces that I used to squeeze into. We have more trains, planes and automobiles than we used to that add to the pollution and contribute to the tainted rain water that fills our rivers and oceans. So now the soil is not even good enough to grow your own because that's tainted. Even the seeds that provide us with fruits and vegetables are being genetically produced. Is there nothing sacred anymore? If you are wondering why your 7 year old looks like a high schooler and why your high schooler looks like a 30 year, well... there is your answer.Food dyes, preservatives, artificial flavorings, processed foods, junkfoods.... everything will kill ya. So what do you do about it? You have to eat.

Cleanse. Herbal cleanses, fasting and detoxing your body regularly. Your body does what it can to eliminate toxins and wastes but you can do more to assist. Herbal cleanses flushes out toxins and heals and it cleans. Juice cleanses pick up the debris along the way, cleans you out and heals as well while providing vitamins and nutrients to the body." A detoxification program offers your body an opportunity for renewal on a cellular level." There are many ways to cleanse the body. It is important to cleanse the liver, kidneys, colon and bladder as often as possible as these are you eliminators. " Helping your body cleanse in gentle natural ways, prevents the build up of toxicity in your cells and organs and can dramatically improve your health and prevent dis-ease."
