Beyond Fasting: Using the 5-day Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) for Vitality and Longevity

There are three ways we can work with food: we can change what we eat, how much we eat, or when we eat. All three are important, but fasting is that underutilized third level – when we eat.

The Metabolic Reset and Cleanse

Overtime, many people will experience a metabolic imbalance. Metabolic imbalance refers to a disruption in the body's metabolic processes, resulting in suboptimal functioning and potential health complications. The body simply isn’t able to digest food and absorb energy properly.

Your Menopause Roadmap: Informed Choices About Hormone Therapy

For too long, confusion and outdated fears have left women without clear guidance on hormone therapy.

Affairs of the Heart Class: Understanding Hidden Lab Factors That Can Keep You Ticking

We all are aware at some level that cardiovascular health is a big issue. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States; about 12% of adults have diabetes (and many of them don’t know it); approximately 1 in 3 of us have prediabetes, and the majority of us are completely unaware of that as well.

But did you know that half of all heart attacks occur in individuals who did not have an elevated cholesterol level? The conventional prevention strategy does not give us as clear an idea of all the tools available to assess our risk, nor does it dive deep into all the ways in which we can decrease our risk.

Free Mindfulness Class

It has been said the quieter you become, the more you can hear. Mindfulness is the ability to pay more attention to what is happening in the present. Regular practice of mindful meditation has been shown to create changes in the brain that lead to reduced reactivity, allow us to navigate stress better, and be more appreciative of this experience we call being a human.
