Dammit! Morning already? I just got back to sleep and now the alarm. Maybe 15 more minutes – yeah, definitely 15 more minutes. OR It is 2 A.M. and your mind is racing. You can’t fall back to sleep and counting sheep turns out to be a lousy piece of advice! Do these sound familiar? […]
OK – honesty time. I have a hard time staying asleep at night – and, I mean a really hard time. I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat – but, when 1 – 2 AM rolls around, my eyes are open and it’s like ‘again?’. At least this problem has a name […]

But, I too have seen examples where proponents of the diet say that you can eat meat, fish, and poultry to your heart’s content and not gain weight. And, I’ve seen numerous Paleo cookbooks where […]
What if I told you that it was a disease? Naturally, you would think Ebola or another infectious agent – but, it isn’t. It’s something that has been around for a long time and the prevalence is increasing. What is it? Type II Diabetes. Type II or adult-onset diabetes is a condition where the pancreas […]
I am so excited! This website has been down for awhile – but, I promise that this new website will have a lot of great information on health (nutrition, exercise) and well-being (rest, self-esteem).
