Don’t worry, the “F words” I’m bringing up today are G-rated, but they can lead to real adult challenges. As a health and wellness success coach for women around the world over 40, I hear these themes mentioned time and time again. I’m willing to bet that you’ve felt challenged by some of these “4-letter… Read more »
On February 19, 2015, the world will welcome the Year of the Sheep. Happy Chinese New Year! In Chinese tradition, each year is represented by one of twelve animals. Each animal is believed to lend its traits not only to the people born in that year but also to the year itself. If you were… Read more »
A few days after New Year’s, I went to my building’s gym for my customary workout. (Remember that exercise has always been a favorite activity of mine.) I proceeded to the elliptical machines for some cardio, and to my surprise, they were all taken. And so were the treadmills. And so were the areas for… Read more »
I’ve noticed a surge of reports of one particular group of symptoms among my patients at my New York City office, as well as from my long-distance coaching clients: digestive issues. Whether these signs of distress come in the form of abdominal discomfort, reflux, bloating, or heartburn, trouble processing the fuel our bodies need is… Read more »
…until now. Think about the muscles that you have throughout your body. What does it take to keep them in top form so you can be at your strongest and most agile? Consistent exercise, movement, and the occasional challenge. Without a regular workout, muscles become lax and lose their power to support your activity. Just… Read more »

As a wellness coach and acupuncturist, I’ve seen over and over that the greatest challenge to someone seeking balance is often her individuality. The one-size, cookie-cutter advice (you know, those wellness fads that fill so many magazines and TV talk shows) doesn’t work for every person because it doesn’t account for our unique differences. What’s… Read more »
Meet the newest member of the divorced and over-40 club. Me. My new status has been rather surprising to many of the friends, clients, and patients who’ve known me as a married woman for umpteen years. And like any other transition, the switch from marriage partner to single woman has been a big adjustment for… Read more »
Question: How much did you have to drink last night? Nothing? Would it surprise you, then, if a few tests suggested otherwise? It’s true. Even if you didn’t have an alcoholic drink, you could be showing up to work functioning just as badly as if you were legally drunk. Worse, years’ worth of statistics imply… Read more »
I’m uncoachable! Maybe you are, too. It took me approximately 40 years (!) to realize that, in some areas, I cannot coach myself. I’m just not my own best accountability partner. A recent example: I realized I hadn’t been exercising consistently to maintain bone density, firm muscles, and optimal weight. I really enjoy many forms of… Read more »
