What is intuitive eating? How does it compare to other “diets” or is it totally different? Should you give it a try or stear clear of this “fad” food consumption method?

I’m not sure I’ve ever laughed so much on a podcast with one of our guests, but Lexie McNeill and I sure had fun talking about Trim Healthy mama on this show! In case you haven’t heard about it, it’s the least diet-ish eating plan I’ve ever come across. It helped me shed my pandemic [...]

Words and motion are intertwined in my mind. I was a writer first and a “worker outer” second. I literally went to college to be a political journalist, but exercise science called more loudly to my soul. Perhaps this is why quotes and poetry that contain a sense of ambulation and anatomy in motion really [...]

I have always thought that mothers who give birth prematurely are given just as good care as their babies while they’re both recovering after delivery. I was wrong.

Urgency of mind and body are connected. The frequent need to pee without being to go very much is called urge incontinence.
