Who Are You? What Do You Want?


Sorry for the delay in getting this entry to you. At first, the task of answering over a hundred inquiries seemed too daunting, but as I read and re-read your questions, a pattern emerged that prompted the title of this blog.

I’m going to use the example of a new patient, Cheryl (not her real name), who came to see me this week. I always start my meeting with any new patient with the question: “What are you doing here? What do you want?

Weight Gain From Medication: Can You Change It?


One of the most vexing things about trying to lose weight is your mood. In the beginning, my patients can be a little grouchy, even if they are losing pounds, not flavor, using culinary medicine.

Bibliotheraphy


Hello to all!

A while back, some of you asked for a book referral list, and I subsequently began the project of putting one together. As I mentioned at that time, I rarely utilize bibliotherapy in my private practice.

Tarte Halloween Contest


If you haven't tried Tarte it's a good time to start — the ‘Trick or treat with Tarte’ contest runs until November 10th, and all you have to do is send in before and after photos along with a description of how you used Tarte products to achieve your Halloween look! The prize is a big goodie bag filled with a whopping $500 worth of Tarte.

Wait — it gets better.

I’m thrilled to be the newest member of Jillian’s Wellness Team and can’t wait to share ideas and easy ways for you to “green” your home and habits.

My company, GreenBeanie™, has a motto that is “put on your thinking cap.
