Food Focus: Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are on everyone's mind this season. Cravings for sweets can be greatly reduced by adding sweet vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, yams, parsnips, beets, squash, turnips and rutabagas to your daily diet. Sweet potatoes elevate blood sugar gently rather than with the jolt delivered by simple refined carbohydrates, so there's no energy crash after you eat them. Much higher in nutrients than white potatoes and especially rich in vitamin A, sweet potatoes offer a creamy consistency that is satisfying and soothing. They are healing to the stomach, spleen, pancreas and reproductive organs and help to remove toxins from the body. They can increase the quantity of milk in lactating women and can lessen cramps and premenstrual symptoms. If you don't have any sweet potatoes in your kitchen, go out and buy some (organic and local if possible) and make the recipe on my website. Baked Caraway Sweet Potato with Rosemary

What about that Resolution?
A lot of people begin the New Year by making resolutions. We've all been there. We take a vow to lose weight, exercise more or spend more time with our family. We start the year with great intentions, but then we quickly relapse into old habits. Why is it so hard to stick to those New Year's resolutions?
Here are some ways you can make your intentions a reality this year:
- Write down your intentions and keep them in a visible place, like taped to your bedroom mirror or the dashboard of your car.
- Get to the source of whatever is keeping you in a rut. Are you in a stressful relationship that causes you to eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's every night? Are you stressed at your job and feel too tired to exercise after work? If you don't tackle the root of the behavior, it will be much harder to accomplish your goal.
- Be clear about what your life would look like once you achieve your goal. If you resolve to go to the gym more, how will this benefit you? Get connected to the result of your action, and you will be more likely to stick with your plan.
- Share your resolutions with friends and family. Hold each other accountable for achieving your goals. If you want to go to the gym more, have a friend call you two or three times a week to check on you or invite them to join you.
- Reward yourself with every little accomplishment. If your intention is to lose weight and you lose 1 pound a week, pamper yourself with a massage.
Big changes do not require big leaps. Permanent change is more likely to happen gradually than through one big restrictive plan. Allow yourself to climb the ladder one rung at a time.
If you need help reaching these goals you can join one of my Group Health Programs! You will get amazing support and accountability! I am offering a live class in Fort Lauderdale and also an amazing TELECLASS Live stream from you living room!
Happy New Year!

Class #2: Thyroid and Your Metabolism. What is the real cause of your weight gain?
Weight gain or increased difficulty losing weight, low energy, fatigue and foggy thinking - these are all classic symptoms associated with an under-functioning thyroid gland. In addition, low thyroid function can cause dry skin, hair loss, chronic constipation, depression, high cholesterol, low body temperature, high blood pressure and water retention. Many people are aware of this and will report to me that they have had their doctor check their thyroid values and their blood work came back normal from the lab. They receive no treatment, despite the fact that they go on experiencing these symptoms.
Its more than just CALORIES!! Our hormones effect everything we do. Learn to heal your body and you will stay at your perfect weight naturally. Whether you have metabolism issues from stress, or being a Competitive Athlete and OVERTRAINING and UNDEREATING. You can heal!! Find out how!
