Foods That Cleanse Your Body of Toxins

Fitness, Nutrition, YogaRheaLeave a comment
I’ve been having a lot of conversations lately about cancer. These days, I know many cancer survivors, cancer fighters and loved ones of people who have struggled with cancer. We were talking about environmental toxins, and how it’s a silent cause of cancer and many other diseases. I learned the story of a friend whose whole family has had cancer because they lived by a plant high in radiation. Besides being an involved citizen and pressuring our government to regulate pollution, what else can we do about this problem? I meditated on this question and the first thing that came…

Mindfulness Let’s face it. Most of us know how to lose those unwanted pounds. We have to change how we eat. We have to shift our habits We know those cookies and that ice cream won’t help us lose weight but why do we eat it? Well, humans aren’t as rational as we think we are. We’re emotional and eating is often an emotional act. And yes, this has been a stressful year. Recent studies on psychology point to one personality trait that is most successful in helping people lose weight and maintain it. This trait is awareness or mindfulness,…

Is it More Expensive to Eat Healthy?

NutritionRheaLeave a comment
COVD-19 has changed our culture quite a bit and it has made us look at how we shop and how we eat. This week, I’d like to challenge the popular paradigm that it’s more expensive to eat healthy. Our attitude towards food is often the main cause of weight struggles; so if you can change your mindset, that’s a huge step towards changing your body, your health and your lifestyle. So I’m writing this blog with your financial, mental and physical health in mind. I want you to question this idea because, personally, I think its a false rationalization. However,…

I really want to reach out and let you all know that I miss you and that I’m thinking of you, so I decided this is a good time to share some family recipes. This is what I eat when I feel under the weather and I never get anything worse than a common cold (knock on wood). I’m still quarantining with the rest of you. The gym industry has been temporarily shut down, so I have a little more time for cooking. These recipes are a tasty way to get many foods that boost the immune system and kill…

What is the Best Weight Loss Diet?

Fitness, NutritionRheaLeave a comment
If you’re trying to lose weight, you might have asked, “what is the best weight loss diet?” Of course, this a misleading question, one that gets consumers to impulsively buy whatever weight loss regimen is being marketed to them. There is a more productive question you should be asking yourself, but I’ll get to that later. Atkins, ketone, intermittent fasting, low carbs, low fat and portion control. These are some the most popular diets that have been used specifically for weight loss, though their birth may have come for other reasons. For example, the ketone diet was first created for…

Foods and Supplements That Heal Joints and Arthritis

Fitness, NutritionRhea3 Comments
I’m writing this blog due to a special request from some of my arthritis students. I was also experiencing some joint pain. Whether it was from over exertion or just getting older, I don’t know, but it gave me a vested interest in the subject. I’m happy to say that the joint pain has subsided so the foods and supplements that I tried (on top of my own corrective exercise practice) seemed to have worked. Please do not take any online blog as medical advice. This is just information about food and supplements that you can investigate. Always speak to…

What Can I Eat if Everything is Unhealthy?

Fitness, NutritionRheaLeave a comment
What Can I Eat if Everything is Unhealthy? This is a common question I’ve been hearing a lot from students and clients recently. This confusion stems from the fact that much of the mainstream information we are getting on nutrition do not come from experts or scholars but from journalists putting a doomsday, fear mongering spin on nutrition (fear sells in journalism) or from salespeople trying to push a supplement or diet program for their company. Because of this, much of the information we get on nutrition is biased or false, so before you freak out that eating apples are…

The Best Diet for You

Fitness, NutritionRhea1 Comment
There are so many diets out there that the general public is confused as to what they should and shouldn’t eat. What many don’t realize is that some diets are geared to certain types of people. For example, an endurance athlete may have completely different dietary needs as a sedentary person with diabetes. Someone training to gain large amounts of muscle may not have the same nutritional needs as  someone who is trying to lose weight. To help clear up this confusion, I’ve listed some popular diets below and showed which diet works best for which type of person. These are…

The Switch Trick: How to Lose Weight Without Counting Calories

Fitness, NutritionRheaLeave a comment
Happy New Year everyone! As I work with people, I realize how difficult it is for some to keep track of how many calories they consume so I have been trying to think of a simpler approach to weight loss. I came up with this method which is actually based on many studies on habit change and what we know about food. I call this The Switch Trick: I have always said that calories count and that if weight loss is your goal, you must burn more calories than you consume, but measuring calories can be a chore so here…
