“I Can See It!”
I want to tell you a true story. I worked recently with a client who asked me early on about my own health journey. I wanted to understand the reason for the question, and upon further discussion, she blurted out, “Will it always be this hard?” This person had taken on some major diet and lifestyle

We’ve all heard the expressions. “Go with your gut. I have a gut feeling… He gut-punched me. “ These sayings exist for a reason!

June/July: Don’t Miss These Wisdom Nuggets!
Happy Summer to you! I hope you aren't sweltering too badly. It is brutal.
