Ever been to that place beyond tired? Not just after a long day, but a place of deep exhaustion for weeks on end. A place where a third cup of coffee by noon is not enough, the simplest of tasks seem mammoth and you need a hit of sugar before you even consider doing a […]

Let me begin by saying, I did my research. I tried red sangria with brandy, white sangria with liquor and tested versions with various mixtures of wine and fruit and — tough job — and let me tell you, humbly of course, this recipe truly ROCKS. It’s perfectly “drinkable” (OK, dangerously so) but such a perfect combo of […]

I am often asked how much and how often you should practice yoga. As a yoga teacher, a mom (and a realist), I say a teeny bit everyday is better than a lot once in a while. My experience is that the more you practice and the “better” you get at it, the more you crave longer sessions on […]

One of the top questions I get asked is what I recommend to help the body fix itself, at a foundational level. Perhaps you want nothing more than to return to a state of wholeness and zen-like hormone balance. Maybe you feel frustrated and desperate.

Did you know that a simple blood test can save your life? The test I’m referring to is called the C-reactive protein test.

Turns out Christine’s approach is not only about cultivating a killer body, but a beautiful heart that radiates […]

Did you know salmon is a bit of a rock star? This oily fish is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids which are are considered essential for the body. Plus, salmon is a great source of protein and marries well with a variety of flavors. This recipe was created by accident — how many […]

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that “healthy” summer smoothie you’re drinking is probably just a sugar-laden, glorified milkshake. Many healthy “fruit juices” and “smoothies” contain more than four times the recommended World Health Organization daily intake, according to an investigation from last year. While much of the sugars found in fruit […]

I grew up on Entenmann’s Donut Holes Pop’ems. I even Googled them for inspiration when creating this recipe, salivating at the images on my screen until I scrolled down to the list of ingredients: sugar, wheat flour, palm oil, soybean oil, corn starch, corn syrup solids and all sorts of unpronounceable additives. My stomach began churning at the thought of […]
