I’ve got a bad habit, and I think it’s time to come clean. Whenever another person, be it a stranger or a friend, compliments my healthy lifestyle, I always correct them by saying something like “Oh believe me I don’t always feel how I look” or “You wouldn’t believe how sick I actually am” Why?

What is “normal” ?

December 2, 2016.Reading time 1 minute.

What is “normal” when it comes to health? I think we can all agree that the answer is different for everybody. But one trend I do notice is people’s tendency to settle for their “normal” instead of optimal. I, for example, find it “normal” to be bloated after eating. Other people find it “normal” to have headaches […]

Hands down the cheesiest blog title I’ve had yet, but once I got it in my head I just couldn’t help myself. I want to share a tiny bit of information today that I really feel should be common knowledge…. but isn’t. As consumers, how are we supposed to make informed choices if we are not […]

Hey everyone! I can’t believe it’s the beginning of a new week. Time is flying by so fast! I spent my usual Sunday off in a 6 hour workshop for school. It was amazing. Learning by doing is something that works for me – I wish that there was a stronger element of that in learning […]

The other day my cousin sent me an email, explaining that although she would love to see me she wasn’t feeling up to it – her anxiety had gotten the best of her this week and she felt that she should be alone. Not “I’m sorry I forgot”. Not “I’m not feeling well”. Not “I […]

Hello all you lovely people! My friend Kori asked me yesterday how school was going, and I told her that I hoped the experience would ‘catapult me to excellence’.
