Rock N Roll Health School

Yow! Had to turn on the heat last night. Nevertheless, it’s gettin’ on spring here in NC – the trees are leafing out and the honeysuckle smells soooo good. And – a new springtime ritual for me – Monday I’m presenting my Rock N Roll Reboot Cleansing Workshop for the final time in 2011. Last [...]

Still here, I am! Just a little quiet on the blogging front. Spring is – or was – springin’ so it’s time to clean out the house. Not just your home, but your your body too. That’s right, it’s time to detox for spring. Don’t be afraid, it’s awesome. Read on. A cleanse is the [...]

Can you tell I’m excited?!? The last couple of weeks have been pretty eventful. I did a really fun cooking demo at Inside Out Body Therapies in Durham, then took Dave to New York for his birthday to see Camper Van Beethoven do their classic record Key Lime Pie. In between those we had a [...]

Shout-out to my favorite new band, Howlies, from Atlanta! When I first saw them last summer, I wasn’t prepared to be knocked sideways, but indeed I was. Bought the CD at the show and played it every day for about four months. Saw them for the second time two weeks ago; they’re still bringing down [...]

OK, here we go – the long, two-month road to Sugar Town begins about….two weeks ago. Halloween candy’s been in the stores since August, a devious ploy to get you to buy some early, eat it all and then buy it again for the trick-or-treaters. Now it’s half off, which just encourages us to buy [...]

I talk to my clients a lot about listening to their bodies and letting their instincts tell them what they want and need to eat, how to move, and so on. Often the noise of our lives makes it hard to hear what our bodies are saying. Here’s a story about me forgetting one of [...]

My last breakfast blog post got some good feedback – thanks for that. Many of you seem to not have 15 minutes to make and eat breakfast. OK, fair enough. What if you could make a delicious breakfast the night before (or three nights before) and then grab it on your way out the door [...]

This past weekend I found myself in a Dairy Queen – the birthday request of a friend (?!). I don’t think I’d been in a Dairy Queen since I was about eight years old. So I excitedly ordered my childhood favorite – the Peanut Buster Parfait. Oh. My. God. I know it’s been a long [...]

Argh, now I have a Supertramp song in my head. Sorry if you do, too. Anyhoo, one of the first things I talk to my clients about is breakfast. Why is that? Because what you eat first can set you up for better or worse choices later in the day. We make a lot of [...]

Just got back from a few well-needed days at the beach. On the drive down, I had visions of me starring in a postcard from the sixties, surrounded by tanned and toned surfer boys and girls, playing in the waves and lolling on the sand. What a surprise. It didn’t look that way at all. [...]
