21 Oct Talkin’ Shop…

A month or so ago, the website All Things Healing asked me to interview Joshua Rosenthal. He’s the founder, director and primary teacher of the Institute for Integrative Nutrtion, the world’s largest health coach training program and one of my alma maters. After spending countless hours being inspired by Joshua and listening to him interview people, it was fun to turn the tables and ask him questions about what it means to healthy.

Read the whole interview at All Things Healing, then check out the ATH Holistic Nutrition Forum, which yours truly moderates.

17 Sep Word on the Street…

Another quick round up of interesting news I found this week. Lots to pass on about transitioning from summer to fall, falling for fake fish, failing to hit five a day and figuring out exactly why doctors receive little to no nutrition training….

Nice post from Whole Living Daily on maintaining or finding space for yourself, especially as we transition from free-wheeling days of summer to the hustle and bustle of back to school and fall’s holiday season.
As the season changes, our bodies naturally want more sleep, especially if we want to keep up with hectic holiday schedules and effectively fight off or heal from colds and flues. That’s Fit has a nice summary of some of the ways we can be sabotaging this precious time of rest.
Marion Nestle’s alert about hearings on GM salmon.
New York Times exposes how little doctors are taught about nutrition. That’s why it’s a good idea to seek nutrition advice and counseling from nutrition and health counselors.
According to studies, practically no one in the U.S. is getting their five-a-day fruits and vegetables.

How about you? Are you able to keep the easy going feeling of summer? Are you feeling the pull of fall in your sleep patterns? What do you think about the disconnect between nutrition and medicine? Are you a five-a-day statistical average or an out-lier?
