If you are tired a lot, you know what it’s like to be an energy chaser. And if you’re a mother, you definitely know what I mean. My kids are 8,11 and 14. So I’m not in the early stages of motherhood anymore, but I remember how it felt to be counting the minutes until they would go to bed or take a nap. Or think, “I must not like playing with my kids!” I used to think this and then I realized that when I did have lots of energy, it was just that I was tired!! It was a relief, but also a frustration that I had spent so much time struggling. What is the number one reason for fatigue in most people now? Men AND women?

Did you know that you have about 95% control over your health outcomes? This means that
whether you live a long healthy life OR NOT, is almost 100% in your hands. So when does it

Why do we scarf down a whole bag of sour cream n’ onion chips? Or eat a tub of ice cream in one sitting? And maybe that’s not you, but maybe you’ve been known from time to time to have a few more pieces of pizza than you should. I acknowledge the fact that yes, these foods are designed to be addictive, there is another reason why some of us may have difficulty eating just a little. I’ve written about the first 3 human hungers recently. The number four human hunger, and the only true human hunger is for…

One of the reasons I am obsessed with knowing how our body works is that the most important
currency for me, besides time, is energy. How, when and what we eat is a large determinant of
our energy. And understanding why we want the foods we want is part of that knowledge. If you
didn’t know there are 6 types of human hunger, you know it now. And I revealed the first two in
my last blog. I’m sure you can guess some of them, but understanding how they work and
putting it all together can be a game changer.

This is a line I have heard many times over the years, “I think about food all the time. It makes me crazy.” If that is true for you, have you ever wondered why this is the case, or if you have certain times of day, what is going on that you just need to eat? There are 6 types of hunger that humans have. Two of them are not actually signs of hunger, but they make us want to eat. What are they?

If you’re human, and I know you are, we all veer from our ideal habits from time to time. And if you’re like most people, some of your habits are less than ideal most of the time. I always see a new year as a great time for a reset. A time to create a new lasting healthy habit that gradually pays you back with dividends. There is a kind of health care that when practiced, has an anchoring effect making it much more likely that your health will go exactly the way you intend. What is it?

It amazes me how often we miss the forest through the trees. And I do not exclude myself in this. If your energy is not where you want it to be, you need to make sure you’ve got this one simple thing taken care of or your energy will take a hit. And not just your energy, it could give you brain fog, make you constipated, give you headaches, muscles aches - the list goes on. What is it?
