Fighting osteoporosis
Naturally – and winning.
I was diagnosed in 2004. Instead of accepting the standard story, I started documenting everything – What I eat, how I exercise, how much sunlight I get, what I learned about the myths about osteoporosis, and what I discovered builds healthy bones and what doesn’t.

New Year’s Recognitions for 2008
I like the phrase “New Year’s Recognitions” rather than “New Year’s Resolutions.” Why? Because in order for a resolution to last, it has to be a recognition of something inside that we really want, not a resolution to fight against something we don’t want. What are those things you want deep inside yourself? I’ll list […]

What’s so great about a rebounder?
A rebounder is just the fancy name for a mini-trampoline, and while it may be small in size, but its benefits are HUGE!
