As the heat index climbed to 100 this weekend, we knew it was time to head toward the beach and escape the city concrete. If you're not part of the mass exodus to The Hamptons, the beach is your next best option. I've always favored Long Beach, a private beach accessible by the Long Island Railroad, but I've read good things about The Rockaways and the Riis Park Beach Bazaar, a public … [Read more...]

Notes from the Weekend: Charlotte, NC
In an effort to inject a more personal element into my blog (and share pretty pictures that have nothing to do with health and wellness), I'm starting a new semi-regular series I'll call Notes from the Weekend, where I'll provide a short recap of the weekend's activities. I've always talked about it being difficult for me to get too personal on this blog, paired with the fact that I don't think my … [Read more...]
Why You Need a Health Coach
Let's be real. Most people already know what they should be doing to be healthy and happy, but they're not doing it. IMO, that's reason enough for why you need a Health Coach. When I speak with potential clients, they rattle off long lists of what they think they should be eating (salad) and what they think they should be doing (working out) - there's more to wellness than salads and … [Read more...]
The Top 5 Reasons You’re Always Hungry
Wondering why you're always hungry? I consult with hundreds of women every month who want to lose weight, finally free themselves of fad dieting and have a healthier relationship with food.

Tonight I'm off for 2 weeks to Italy and Greece! To say I'm excited is an understatement, but before I can bask in the sun, sand and surf, I have to pack! I've always been a serious over-packer and because of it - truth be told, I dread packing, but I can't leave without a few summer must haves. With practice and effort, I'm getting better at taking only what I need. Less is really more … [Read more...]

How to Have a Healthy Summer
This post is sponsored by Meta Appetite Control. All opinions are my own. Summer can go one of two ways. You can have a healthy summer and take advantage of the warm weather and fresh produce or you can lush it up and go nuts on rooftop happy hours and Hamptons share houses. For those who are interested in the former, I met with Good Morning America anchor, Michael Strahan, and … [Read more...]
Getting Back to Blogging Post Book-Launch
I'm happy to report that as of today, I'm getting back to blogging. I've been here before and if you're a blogger, you feel me. The dreaded drop-off in regular blogging when life gets busy and the inevitable return back to blogging. I truly wanted to blog more these past few months, but there were two major things in the way: Writing and launching Your Holistically Hot … [Read more...]
Writing a Book: The hardest thing I’ve ever done
I've done some difficult things in my lifetime, but I never thought writing a book would be among them. :: When I was 10-years-old I stood up to a group of girls who were bullying me ... :: In my 20s I ended a long-term romantic relationship that felt comfortable, but deep down I knew it wasn't my forever ... :: I ran the New York City Marathon in 2008 and went back for more in … [Read more...]
