A special welcome to all our faces from the Confident Women Rising summit. We are a community of curious skeptics with rebel hearts. Make yourself at home 8-) Eça turns six months today! I knew having a baby would change our lives...I didn’t plan for a global pandemic too! The calm I’ve ...
Well-Rounded
The Coronation, Media, Mental Health and How to Dose
I’m feeling relatively calm amidst the coronavirus experience. Of course, I have my moments and it’s not that I believe I’m immune to the risks. My parents were on a “COVID cruise” and quarantined, I have an infant with a developing immune system, and I feel my own flavor of the generalized economic ...
Special Coronavirus and Immunity 101 edition
It’s been a trying couple of weeks for my family. My parents, my aunt, and uncle were on the Grand Princess Cruise ship where 21 people tested positive for COVD-19. They were being quarantined in Georgia and arrived home last night. Sometimes, no matter how careful we are with our health, stuff ...
Chicken or Egg, Weight Gain or Inflammation?
I recently chatted with Nicole Jardim and Dr. Nat Kringoudis for Episode 163 of the Period Party. I shared how I overcame my infertility diagnosis (including how my thyroid function was normal by western medicine standards yet wasn’t healthy enough to get pregnant), we discussed how after a ...
goop, There It Is
Well + Good recently asked me about responding to food shaming, especially if you are recovering from diet culture. Sometimes, what is perceived as food shaming can actually be a teaching moment to share where you are in your own journey and to ultimately deepen your relationships. See when ...

Well-Rounded: Smash the patriarchy with weight loss?
Happy New Year and new decade! I’m writing this the morning after Eça slept through the night for the first time...I am rested, caffeinated and feeling great about 2020 8-) While I know we will have many more sleepless nights and this might be a fluke, I’m finally starting to trust I will sleep ...
Well-Rounded: Hiatus and maternity leave time!
I’m 38 weeks pregnant and could go into labor at any moment (!!!). This means Well-Rounded, our beloved community bi-weekly round up, will go on hiatus through the end of the year. In the meantime, you can access previous editions here: Self-Help Snake Oil All Calories Aren’t Created ...
Well-Rounded: Fat Shaming, Blaming and Low-Sugar Pumpkin Spice Lattes
In recent years, I’ve had a surge of requests from other Health Practitioners on using root cause resolution work to get the results that have eluded their clients. That’s why I was delighted to join Andrea Nakayama to discuss this on her 15-Minute Matrix podcast geared towards health ...
Well-Rounded: Same Foods, Different Weight Gains
My skin used to make me insecure. I tried antibiotics and obscene amounts of Cover Girl foundation in high-school. I took Accutane in college (now the subject of a class-action lawsuit!). In my early 20s, when my acne returned post-Accutane, I turned to random topical chemicals. Once l addressed ...
