Thank you to everyone who wrote about last week’s blog. It really made me feel better about the situation. This week, I want to talk about the upsetting situations in our nation. New York, Philadelphia, Minneapolis.  One of the sad pieces, for me, is that when a peaceful demonstration or protest gets ugly with violence […]

Well, friends, I have to admit that I have failed. I was supposed to write today about the way vitamins and minerals work in the heart. I know this material from dietitian school. But when I sat down to write it, I realized the topic was much more enormous than I thought.  The blog would […]

Did you ever think about your body? How hard it works? It began as two microscopic cells and slowly and gently grew into a tiny baby. How did the body know how to set up your heart and lungs and liver? How did it know not to put eyeballs on your toenails? These were thoughts […]

This pandemic has changed, probably permanently, some parts of our lives. And it is scary. And it is emotionally horrible to watch our loved ones die without being able to be with them. Lots of us have lost jobs and some of us have had to make major changes in our work and home lives. […]

Have you ever felt like you just can’t take any more? The food is out of control, the boss wants more than you can give, your mother in law is enraged with you, and the dog just chewed up your favorite shoes? And we have this horrible coronavirus that is keeping us indoors and isolated […]

I’m sure you have noticed; this is a whole new world. Things are changing and we don’t know when or how they will stop. My husband is at the grocery store, at 6:15 am. (That’s when old people are encouraged to go.) On Thursday, they will call and tell us when to pick up our […]

Wow!  So much has happened in one week!  I am still talking to clients over the phone and Zoom.  Many have asked the same question – so here I am putting it out to you… “I am staying home.  How do I do my food?” My answer- the same as always!  EVERYONE is staying home […]
