More Hospitals Offering Cancer Patients Integrative Care
Jean Enersen of Seattle’s KING 5 News has a great story about using complementary care for cancer prevention and recovery. Standard treatments for cancer include chemotherapy, surgery or radiation. But now more and more hospitals are also offering complementary care to their patients. This represents a big shift in philosophy, but is there enough science to back it [...]
How Does Metabolism Work?
Clients will frequently ask me about metabolism. What is it? How does it work? Does it slow down with age? Can you speed it up? How does it affect weight loss?
Metabolism is the way your body converts the calories from the food you eat into the energy that your body needs to run your bodily [...]
Life Span Shorter In Parts of U.S.

Is It Organic?
More and more foods are showing up on the store shelves labeled organic varieties challenging our decision making and our pocket book.
How many times have you heard, “Buy organic, it’s better for you!”? But many of us just see organic foods as more expensive, not necessarily better for you, so why bother? What does “organic” [...]

Reducing Blood Pressure
In a Seattle PI article on April 21, Bob Condor writes that “As a naturopathic physician, Nancy Welliver calls herself “really conservative” about helping patients to lower blood pressure. There are some 70 million Americans considered to have borderline high blood pressure or greater, partly because 2005 standards shortened the range of what’s normal.”
“I work [...]

Carol, a Slender For Life™ client lost 50 pounds with hypnosis.
Carol says, “I was in denial. I didn’t know how heavy I was and now I am comfortable in a swim suit.
I was out of control. I was addicted to sugar and salt and I couldn’t say “no”. After the very first hypnotherapy session my [...]
Water – How Much Do You Need?
I shot this photo at Ross Lake – it was in the 90’s that day and the glacial water was refreshing!
So how much water should you drink? There is a lot of mixed information out there about the importance of water. Recent studies have said not to worry – you are getting enough and many [...]

Imagine believing that an activity is not safe physically, mentally, and/or emotionally and then going ahead and doing it—for the rest of your life! Now that’s a challenge!

Randy Pausch has pancreatic cancer and shares the [...]
How Emotions Impact Weight Loss
James Krehbiel has an interesting article that I recommend you read. He says weight-loss is about majoring in the majors; it’s not about how you “butter your bread.” Often, people can be obsessive with weight-loss behavior. Weight-loss and weight maintenance can become a ritualistic, compulsive cycle.
Charlie Whitfield, an author and addictions expert, calls the pattern [...]
Am I Hungry?
Can you tell when you are physically hungry? Do you know the difference between mental/emotional hunger and physical hunger? Do you know when you have eaten enough food at a meal?
