Every day I talk to people who are trying to cut back on salt. They want to try to reduce their blood pressure and cut heart disease risk.
But when it comes to your bones do you have to follow a low-salt diet? (more…)
My Skelly really likes summer fruits like blueberries and watermelon. But come winter there’s a fruit she loves even more. I’m talking about pomegranates. These are one of the oldest known fruits in the world. In ancient Egypt they were buried in the tombs of royalty.
And I love pomegranates for what they do for my Skelly…

Did you know your thyroid can make or break your bones?
Chances are you know someone with an underactive thyroid. Maybe it’s you…
I’m not surprised. Hypothyroidism has become an epidemic. It’s estimated to occur in up to 6.5 percent of people. It’s twice as likely to hit you if you’re a woman and three times more likely if you’re white.[i]
In a minute, I’ll share with you a great new resource Skelly and I have found for making sure your thyroid is always in tip top shape - naturally.
At the end of a long day I am bone tired. But when my head hits the pillow, my Skelly still has lots of work to do. Here’s what I mean…
They are built up by special cells called osteoblasts that work mostly during the daytime. But come nighttime your bones are broken down by other cells called osteoclasts. They clear out old cells and make way for the new osteoblasts that come during the day.
A momentous day for health and wellness coaches!
I joined1300 coaches across the country taking part in the FIRST National Certification Exam offered by the National Board of Medical Examiners. It will take the health and wellness coaching profession to the next level. (more…)
When it comes to bones, I’m all about feeding my Skelly bone-building foods.
It’s always the first step in my bone health program.
You see, you can’t just pop a pill and keep poisoning your bones with bad food. But I do think that supplements can play an important role in boosting the nutrients that your bones need.
Maybe you don’t digest your food very well so you aren’t getting the nutrients your bones need. Or maybe you’re trying to eat right, but you’re not hitting your goals at every meal. I get that…
Now, I’m no expert on supplements. But I thought I’d share with you today the four supplements that I take to make sure my bones are getting the most important vitamins and minerals they need.
And before I get started, I’ll mention the one “bone” supplement that I DON’T take.
Nothing I like more than a handful of crunchy nuts for a snack. And Skelly’s with me on this.
You see, nuts are full of healthy fats, protein, and fiber that fill you up. But they are also a treasure box of minerals that build strong bones.
Maybe you have a favorite nut that you keep on hand. But I want you to think about rotating your nuts or eating lots of mixed nuts. That’s because each type of nut offers something special for your bones. If you stick to just one you’re missing out.
Salt has been called the "single deadliest ingredient in the food supply." But science doesn’t back up the claim. In fact, it is essential for good health especially for menopausal women.
According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, salt is so closely related to heart attack and stroke that if we just cut its use in half, we could save 150,000 lives each year. They claim it's the "single deadliest ingredient in the food supply."
Others consider it essential to human life and even a superfood.
