I am a firm believer that laughter, and a positive disposition, is good medicine for your body, mind, and spirit. And, it just so happens that medical science has documentation to back that up. According to studies, laughter:[1] [2] Enhances your intake of oxygen rich air Improves immunity Stimulates your heart Increases endorphins Relieves pain Improves your mood In my daily experiences, I laugh a lot. Not inappropriately, of course.

Every summer I get an abundance of squash and zucchini from my local farm (Stoneledge Farm Community Supported Agriculture. To get through all of those veggies in the most delicious ways, I put them into everything! I make: Most recently, I turned those summer squashes into yummy fritters. They came out totally delish! But, to give them some flair, I decided to call them by their fancy French name: Courgette Fritters. Courgette is the French word for green summer squash (aka Zucchini).

There's a LOT of buzz on the internet and in the media about the explosion of tick populations and Lyme Disease - especially where I live on the east coast of the United States. But, is what you are seeing and hearing in the media true? Or is it another media manipulation to make you afraid to go outside and enjoy nature? I'll give you an example. I was at a retreat in Montana participating in a traditional sweat lodge.

Everywhere I turn, people are talking about taking peptides. Friends, family, influencers, trainers... it seems like almost everyone is using them. If you don't know what a peptide is, here's the skinny: Peptides are short chain amino acids. The are essentially mini-proteins that acts as cellular messengers.

During the summer months, the fruit share I purchased from my community supported agriculture ( Stoneledge Farm), provides me with way more peaches than my family and I can eat before they start to break down. The peaches you purchase in the grocery store are often picked unripe - that's why they often get mealy and don't taste very sweet. But, the peaches I get directly from the farm are picked at the peak of ripeness.

During the hot summer months, I love a crisp, crunchy, and refreshing, Caesar salad made with Romaine Lettuce. Funny enough, many years ago someone in the health and wellness arena (another health coach) attacked my choice of using Romaine lettuce in a salad. She said, "How can you call yourself a health coach? You shouldn't recommend romaine lettuce to anyone! Kale is by far a superior leafy green." I understood where she was coming from, but I disagreed with her.
