Navigating Postmenopausal Weight Gain

I love being a woman. Some of my greatest accomplishments are related to my womanhood: birthing and raising my daughters and creating a career path that allows me to transform other women’s lives, just to name a few. However, despite all the absolute pleasures of womanhood, we all know it comes with its own challenges, too. Our bodies continuously change from year to year, day to day, and even from morning to afternoon to evening. One of the most notable changes is the inevitable natural shift to menopause and postmenopause.

Brain Food: My Top 8 Foods for Optimal Cognitive Function
Brain Food: My Top 8 Foods for Optimal Cognitive Function

What I particularly love about being a holistic nutritionist is encouraging others to feel empowered to make informed nutritional decisions encompassing the mind, body, and soul. It’s easy to forget about this powerful trifecta when our everyday lives become so busy, but that’s when it matters even more. For me, wellness isn’t just about fueling our bodies or soothing our souls; it’s also about nurturing our minds. When we start regularly consuming foods that enhance our minds, we take our health to a new level.

8 Common Herbal Supplement & Medication Interactions to Look Out For

Over the last several years, many people have turned to herbal medicine to boost their immune systems, treat various diseases, and restore their overall health and well-being – me being one of them.

This shift towards natural herbal remedies is largely due to the perception that herbal supplements are more effective and safer than their synthetic counterparts….

Finding Balance with Nutritionist Elissa Goodman

Like many of us, Elissa Goodman began her career working long hours at a stressful job fueled by an excess of caffeine. Then her world was turned upside down.

The Effects of Aging on Bone Health
The Effects of Aging on Bone Health

We all notice small changes as we age. Smile lines, crow’s feet, maybe a few (or many) gray hairs. Marks of wisdom, I like to say! Another aspect of physical aging you might notice is changes in bone and joint health. These changes can be minor—like experiencing less mobility or less flexibility in your elbows and knees. Maybe you experience more pain and inflammation after a particularly rigorous hike….

A Journey of Healing, Nourishing Ourselves and Nurturing Our World
A Journey of Healing, Nourishing Ourselves and Nurturing Our World

I have always been conscious of my own healing journey, dealing with severe health challenges in childhood, mainly affecting the lungs. As a sick child left largely to her own devices, I was able to master the ability to drop into deep meditative states and eventually, instead of struggling for breath, become quiet and peaceful. Not being able to join in with many games and sports, particularly in the cold, English winters, gave me the opportunity to sit on the sidelines and observe, which is something that I attribute now to my ability to meditate and ask big-picture questions…

How to Order Healthily at Restaurants
How to Order Healthily at Restaurants

Contrary to what some of my clients might assume, I love going out to eat at restaurants! I love the atmosphere, the wide variety of foods on the menu, the memories made with loved ones, and the convenience of not having to cook at home. But as we all know, restaurant meals are often significantly less healthy than those prepared in your own kitchen. Restaurant foods typically have more salt, oil, saturated fat, sugar, and calories than homemade versions of the same foods. And it’s not only the nutrient content of restaurant food that’s a concern. Most restaurants serve genetically modified foods among other not-so-ideal factors…
