What does “wellness” mean?

There are many aspects of wellness: physical, emotional, spiritual, social, environmental, and more. While there is an agreement that wellness takes on many forms and has many components, there isn’t necessarily an agreement on how many components there are.

As much as I don’t recommend a structured and restrictive diet, I promote one “diet” - the DASH Diet. 

DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is a flexible and balanced eating plan that helps create a heart-healthy eating style for life.

While it was initially studied for helping blood pressure health (reducing hypertension), it is appropriate for anyone who wants a healthy eating pattern. 

The DASH eating plan requires no special foods and provides daily and weekly nutritional goals. 

Learn more about this eating plan and how it can help you.

Why Avoid Soy? Soy is an excellent plant-based protein, including soy milk, soybeans, edamame, tofu, and even soy protein supplements. 

So why does soy cause controversy? 

Whether it is suggesting that we choose cow’s milk or soy milk over the other milk alternatives or indicating that it is okay to eat a soy-based veggie burger or eat tofu, some people cannot get it out fast enough that I am wrong about soy food.

People tell me all the time: I am stressed. I have a lot going on. I am so busy.

They have meetings with me every other week and every appointment, but they have yet to move forward on their nutrition goals because they are stressed, have a lot going on, and are so busy. 

When will you not be stressed? When will you no longer have a lot going on? When will you not be busy?
