This is where Kelli and Brad share quips from their every day lives. This is how we’re putting healthy eating habits into practices, missteps and all. These are personal observations from what happens to us and people we know.

Strong Relationships, Healthy Hormones

Women are especially vulnerable to accommodating lousy relationships because we’re not well trained about healthy boundaries. We often don’t learn that “no” is a complete sentence. And to add more fuel to the fire, our brain/hormone connections are more sensitive to emotional stressors.

A Personal Message from Isabel

Eating healthy on the road

So it was a fantastic trip, with only a couple missteps along the way as we tried to eat our best. We have our preparation and the ability to web search on my phone to thank for it. I little planning, and you can take eating healthy with you wherever you go.

Lamentations of a pharmacy rep

Recently I was seeking help for design work on our blog. One of the designers we contacted spent some time looking at our blog and sent a very interesting reply.
