"Reduce your stress" is the most stressful advice
Stress is bad; it’s bad for our health, for our weight and certainly our mood. But telling a stressed out person to decrease their stress is like telling an overweight person to lose weight…#nothelpful. In our Foodstalking program, we ask participants "how do you...
Father’s day foods- key, healthy foods for men to eat
There is certain dietary advice that pertains to everyone. But we can be sexist when it comes to nutrition as there are foods I recommend specifically to men due to their anatomy (wink) and health risks. So tell the men in your life to eat these “dude foods”....
Five tips to avoid gaining weight on your summer vacation
Summer seafood is a great option, my son made these! Recently, I did a segment for CBS on summer eating. Specifically, the topic was how to avoid weight gain on your summer vacation. I’ll spare you the scary stats on “beach bulk”. Around the same time, I read an...
New! Food Labels and Foodtrainers' must-have item for summer
via CNN Have you heard? There’s a new Nutrition Facts label but this newness will not be implemented until 2018. FLOTUS announced the changes in Washington on Friday. The labels have the sugar people (how do they sleep at night?) freaking. You see, there’s a new...
EAT. PLAY. ROSÉ
We do our fair share of gabbing about green juice, popping probiotics and ingesting almonds (raw, sprouted, organic). But we’re not one lane ladies (nope). We like healthy and indulgent, detoxing and yes, re-toxing too. EAT. PLAY. ROSÉ is our new summer motto and this...
Don’t believe the Garcinia Cambogia Hype
We’ve covered the weight loss supplement Garcinia Cambogia before but its popularity has only soared despite receiving a “step away” in our Yay? Or Step Away (YOSA) criteria. I spoke with CBS about garcinia. I had to beg the reporter not to purchase the supplement...

Please read if you’re contemplating a “teatox"
I try to be in the know when it comes to nutrition trends and I’ll freely admit I had no idea “teatoxing” was such a thing. Snobessentials (love that name) asked me to weigh in on this trend. So, what is a teatox? Teatoxes are generally teas sold in sets with...
How about a post-weekend metabolism boost? Giveaway too!
Expo West is the capstone of natural food shows. Carolyn and I love a challenge and decided we could cover this massive event in one day. Before every one of these expos we make a pact not to oversample. Let’s just say that at 9am, when Carolyn found me, I had gluten...

Caitlyn Jenner's Coffee
I’ve watched a few episodes of I am Cait. If you’re not familiar with the show, it’s Caitlyn Jenner’s reality series. Recently on the show, a group of transgender women have been on a road trip of sorts and each person shares her story along the way. It’s fascinating....
