your best health advocate is you

Why Your M.D. is Not Your Best Health Advocate

You are your best health advocate. If I've learned anything about my health the past few years, it's that. Present yourself with a lingering cough to your MD, and you will leave with a prescription. Complain about a stomach ache after you always eat, and you will leave with a prescription to try or an order for further testing. Now if that's what you came for, go home happy. It may take a … [Read more...] about Why Your M.D. is Not Your Best Health Advocate

Overcoming Lifelong Allergies Naturally

A fine, yellow-green dust coats cars, porches, sidewalks and everything else outside my home right now. The trees and flowers are blooming, and pollen dust storms are visible in the distance. This is spring in the southeastern U.S. And I used to loathe going outside this time of year. Plagued by itchy, watery eyes, and a sneezing, runny nose, I used prescription and over-the-counter … [Read more...] about Overcoming Lifelong Allergies Naturally

Can a Nutritional Deficiency Cause Modern Disease?

Despite spending more on health care than the rest of the world, Americans are far from healthy. In fact, out of 11 high-income countries, the U. S. health care system ranks worst overall. It’s a national crisis, and a personal one. If your health is poor, how good can the rest of your life be? A fair share of the problem lies in what we’re putting in our bodies, such as inflammatory foods and … [Read more...] about Can a Nutritional Deficiency Cause Modern Disease?

Cooking Oils: Just Say No

I grew up eating fried food. Fried flounder and shrimp, fried chicken, French fries, fried hush puppies, you name it. In the South, we like to deep-fry stuff.

A Bredesen ReCODE coach helps people concerned about or living with cognitive decline implement lifestyle changes that are part of the Bredesen protocol. Colorful image depicts a brain with many synapses and activity

Recently I trained as a Bredesen ReCODE Coach, adding to my professional knowledge base and credentials as I look to help anyone concerned about their brain health. But my desire to prevent and reverse cognitive decline goes beyond a professional achievement. It’s deeply personal, too. About five years ago, someone close to me received a […]

Alzheimer's is a women's health issue. 🧠 Of ev Alzheimer's is a women's health issue.

🧠 Of every three people in the United States living with Alzheimer’s, two are women.

🧠 Even factoring in women’s longer lifespans, they’re twice as likely as men to develop the disease.

🧠 Lifestyle changes such as improved sleep and nutrition, increased exercise and mental stimulation, and decreased stress and toxins, can help reduce a woman's risk of dementia.

If all of that seems overwhelming, focus on just one piece of the puzzle. What's one tiny step you can take to improve your cognition?

Grace & Space (for a healthier you) means ... • Grace & Space (for a healthier you) means ...

• None of us is perfect, and we don't have to be, even when we are working toward something important to us. 💙
• We all need safe spaces in our lives - people and environments - in order to grow and thrive. 🩵
• I solved yesterday's Wordle in two guesses. 😁

#graceandspaceforahealthieryou became my tagline when I started my health and well-being coach practice in 2017. You'll see it on my website and every time I post on IG.

It's a principle I try to live by professionally, as I aim to offer grace and space to my coaching clients and mentees, as well as those who attend my classes and retreats. And also personally, in the day to day of my life - including to myself.

What would it mean to give yourself some grace and space today?
