Hello Everyone!

It is getting to be a busy, stressful time of year. Just because you are lacking focus or are struggling with healthy choices does not mean you should avoid me. I am here to help through all the hard stuff. I am always available to meet via phone call or video chat if you are unable to meet in person. Keep prioritizing your health. We will be more successful together!

In light of stress management, today’s videos is about taking mental breaks. I had a mental recharge day yesterday, and I am feeling so refreshed! What are some things you do to reset mentally and emotionally? It is a part of health too!

Good Morning!

This week, we are focusing on getting more vegetables. Vegetables are low in calories, but packed with nutrients. Vegetables contain phytochemicals, or various pigments that promote different health processes in the body. Vegetables are also packed with fiber to help with cholesterol and digestive health. See below about phytochemicals.

Hi All!

We had an excellent time at our cooking event yesterday. Thank you so much to the Warren County Board of Developmental Disabilities for attending and the employees of the Warren County Juvenile Detention Center and Mary Haven Rehab facility for helping us host! See these recipes to try them like we did. They were scrumptious! Be on the lookout for more meeting coming up in the future.

As it begins getting cooler and the holidays start creeping up on us, it is good to address how to cope with food cravings. A piece of Halloween candy is a nice treat, but we should refrain from eating the whole jar! See these tips for craving help.
