I’m so happy that nutrition’s impact on health is finally getting some real attention in the media. In case you haven’t heard, there’s a new documentary that’s coming out soon called Forks and Knives, and I can’t wait to see it. It’s focused on the research and work of 2 brilliant minds: Dr. T. Colin [...]

I’m generally considered a very happy, positive person focused on the best things in life. (That’s why I love coaching so much!) But sometimes I feel like a curmudgeon. Yes, a curmudgeon. A grumpy, bad-tempered person who doesn’t want to be nice. And here’s why …
