The Scientific Method of Nutrition

There is no such thing as a failed experiment, only experiments with unexpected outcomes. ~ Richard Buckminster Fuller

When it comes to nutrition, I am notorious for conducting experiments.

I scour the internet daily to see what new studies have been released; who has a new regimen for weight loss, and any new information on how our bodies work with the fuel we call food.

I receive hundreds of subscriber list emails which include information on anything and everything body-mind-spirit related to creating a healthier body.

I scan everything. It’s my job and I love it! ::giggle::

When something tickles my fancy, I hone in […]

Create a Paradigm Shift by Asking Questions

Create a Paradigm Shift by Asking Questions

The one who asks questions doesn’t lose his way. ~ African Proverb

More than likely, you grew up thinking if you do the right things (went on a diet), you would have what you desired (a body weighing 120 pounds) and you would be the person you dreamed you’d become: (healthy, thin, happy, fun, loving, self-confident, empowered, etc).

Unfortunately, it is not a simple equation of do equals desired result. You are living proof that doing the so called right things don’t always lead to the coveted prize. Most of us work from a do-have-be mindset described in the first paragraph and […]

2015 Word of the Year: Harvest

We must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest. ~ Orison Swett Marden

I don’t know about you, but for me, December usually means one thing … reflection.

It’s the time of year I tend to spend reviewing any progress I have made during the year starting with intentions I made way back in January.

I use the month to check in with myself.  Am I still heading toward my ultimate purpose, or do I need to adjust my rudder getting myself back on course.

For the past several years, I […]

Be the Captain of Your Own Ship

A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for. ~ William G.T. Shedd

Sometimes it is wise to go with the flow.

The crux is it depends on which direction the flow is going.

While there are numerous examples of going with the flow, let’s consider the one involving our weight control journey. If we are going with the typical American diet flow, we are on our way to becoming obese, living a sedentary life, and then dying of either heart disease, cancer, diabetes or some sort of obesity associated illness.

Ask yourself if this is the result you are […]

The Beginner’s Mind

Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God’s kingdom. ~ Matthew 18:3 (MSG)

Bear with me … you will understand the reference as you read.

I find it fascinating so much of what I read, whether it is about nutrition, business, or self-improvement, all centers around some pretty basic concepts. In other words, there is nothing new under the sun.

Awhile back I read a book entitled It’s Not About the Money by Brent Kessel. In this book, the author proclaims for there to be lasting change in one’s financial situation, there has to be a […]

Mix It Up Experiment

Over the last few weeks, I have been teasing my readers of The Biz Buzz of a Guinea Pig Program that I was going to start asking for people to participate in.  It’s time for me to let you know a little bit more about this experiment.

First of all, I am renaming it to The Mix It Up Experiment, and after you read this, you will understand why.

I have been receiving more than a few emails wanting to find out more; even some saying sign me up when they don’t know the first thing about it yet!  ::giggle::

I have to […]

My Journey to the Science of Anatomy (Part 4)

Here are Parts 1, 2 and 3. And before you holler at me, there will be a Part 5.

::giggle::

When last we left off, I was ready to embark on a healing regimen and I had a strong support group in place.

Dr. Cursio’s treatment plan for me started with a water fast. You read that right; nothing but water for a number of days (usually, a day for each year of one’s life, with breaks at 30 day intervals).

The rationale was that my body had been fed toxins over a long period of time and the only way […]

My Journey to the Science of Anatomy (Part 3)

I really tried to wrap it up in this part, but alas, there is too much to tell. If you would like to catch up here are Parts 1 & 2.

When my sister read my articles, she reminded me I had forgotten a crucial segment. Hence the need for Part 4! ::giggle::

Before continuing with my Pittsburgh move, let’s return to Hawaii. While living there, my body manifested another indication of internal turmoil which was I had terrible acne. Now some might say acne is common during teenage years due to hormonal changes. However, I started puberty around age […]
