Is Drinking Apple Cider Vinegar Really That Good for You?

On April 13, 2019   /   Breast Cancer, Fearless Fabulous You Radio Show, Healthy Living, Nutrition and Diet  

The American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) has debunked the theory that following an alkaline diet can improve your health and reduce your risk for cancer, stating, “What you eat can have a profound affect on your cancer risk, but the acidity or alkalinity of foods is not important. Instead, focus on making dietary choices that can truly affect your risk.” The AICR has launched a campaign to hep bust common myths and present science-based facts about cancer prevention.

On September 24, 2018   /   Fearless Fabulous You Radio Show, Healthy Living, Nutrition and Diet

Want to Change Your Life? Change Your Habits

On May 12, 2018   /   Fearless Fabulous You Radio Show, Nutrition and Diet

Many of us eat and drink to nurture our spirit as much as to nourish our bodies. Maybe it’s time to change your behavior and not just your diet. That’s one of the many messages from Dr. Deena Solomon, who tackles weight loss from a cognitive behavioral perspective- aka “retrain the brain.” www.drdeenasolomon.com Dr. Solomon says, “While others view food as an addiction, and overeating as a disease that must be cured, I see eating […]

They Get You By The Nuts

On April 10, 2017   /   Nutrition and Diet  

When I was a young girl, my parents would take me to the local ice cream parlor.

I think they get you by the nuts.   Remember the movie “Mean Girls?” The Lindsay Lohan character, Cady, suggests to Mean Girl Regina that she eat energy bars to lose weight. Regina takes Cady’s […]

A Mystery Meal Cooks Up Inspiration

On February 6, 2017   /   Cooking Tips, Imbibing, Nutrition and Diet  

The invitation was sudden, subtle and enticing. Boarding the bus to New York this past week, we ran into someone we’d recently met at a dinner party.  He quietly came over to us after we were seated and said, “Would you like to come to my house for a mystery meal?” “Why not!” We answered, intrigued with the idea. Let’s face it: David and I have been in a dining rut at home eating various versions of greens, beans, mushrooms and fish every night. We could use a little mystery to spice things up. He asked us about our food […]
