One never knows how the act of sharing a story or experience affects the trajectory of another person’s life. For me, the storyteller was my grandma, Irene Singleton, affectionately nicknamed Grandma Sugar. It was my deep connection to her story of adversity; the loss and hardship she experienced that helped shape my feelings about education.…

    Have you ever wondered why you spent so much time in school studying things you will never use again? The song Kodachrome by Paul Simon comes to mind … “When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, it’s a wonder I can think at all”. Most schools don’t…

Moms and mother figures are so important in helping us become the people we are, so for Mother’s Day, I want to honor all the amazing things moms do. Mothers give life, teach lessons, and help their children learn to create healthy bonds. Most of the time, they are the health warriors for their families,…

One of the things most teens hate most about adolescence is the pressure to fit in. They look forward to the “individuality” that comes with adulthood. Unfortunately, that individuality eludes most adults who continue to worry about how they look, fitting in and being accepted. We often ask people if they want to be sheep…

I’m thrilled to be speaking at the California Women’s Conference on May 19, and I hope to see you there. This is an inspirational, stellar event that has attracted a gathering of luminaries including Arianna Huffington, Jane Pauley, Jack (“Chicken Soup for the Soul”) Canfield, actor Rosie Perez, and many more accomplished and successful women…

    How often have you said any of the statements below? “I CAN’T get sick before my trip!”“I CAN’T oversleep”“I’m NOT going to eat donuts tomorrow”“I’m NOT going to lose my temper with my kids” And how often have you done exactly what you said you weren’t going to do? You’re not alone! And…

You’re never too young or too old to become a Brain Warrior and optimize your health. Your brain controls everything you do and everything you are. It produces your every thought, action, memory, feeling and experience of the world. You need your brain for everything from deciding which article to read to keeping your heart…

  Last month in Montana Chloe and I had a blast playing weekend warriors. I took her with me to attend a “Wilderness Medicine and Urban Survival” course. This was one of the most practical and fun medical lectures I’ve attended because they included emergency and survival courses for children as well. While I was learning…

I recently came across a book on stress by Stanford University neuroendocrinologist Robert Sapolsky. The book is titled “Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers”. As a kid who had upper and lower gastrointestinal disorders by the time I was four years old (due to growing up in a stressful environment), I found this of particular interest.…

I wanted to take a minute or two to reflect with you all about the journey we have been on together, and how we arrived at leading a movement of Brain Health Warriors. For me, after practicing and learning to love martial arts, being a warrior is symbolic of overcoming. Warriors don’t have an easy…

As a kid who grew up in a chaotic environment, joy wasn’t a word I was familiar with. In fact, things got worse as I got older, and in my early 20’s, when I encountered significant health issues, I could tell you A LOT about depression, but nothing about joy. I don’t know what’s happening…

Have you been shopping yet for a Mother’s Day gift? What are you thinking about? A new sweater, a piece of jewelry, a big bouquet of flowers or a traditional box of chocolates? What about a gift that would really make a difference in her life? You could give her an experience that can help…

Weight loss is a perennially popular New Year’s Resolution, along with “exercise more” and “spend less money.” The sad fact is that most people don’t stick to those resolutions for more than a month and by the end of January, a third of those who have made resolutions will have a lapse. By July more…

  I love hearing from Brain Warriors who have turned their life around and won the battle for their health. One of the most inspiring people I’ve worked with is a woman named Angie. When I first met her, she weighed 225 pounds and had been suffering from:   Migraine headaches Rosacea Dry skin Dizziness…

Many people eat more often when they’re feeling lonely, depressed, frustrated, bored and mad than when they are truly hungry. In fact, some people can go years without ever feeling hungry because they eat constantly. Food is their best friend. So, I’m going to show you how you can dump that “friend,” and make journaling…

Unfortunately, even highly trained Brain Warriors fall and get some bumps and bruises now and then. Having a plan to get up and get back on track quickly is essential to success. The journey will never be perfect. For those of you struggling to find your Brain Warrior mindset after the holidays, read about Angie’s…

If you’re an athlete, a speaker, or just looking to perform at your highest level possible, in whatever you’re trying to accomplish, then this meditation is for you.

Big wave surfer Mercedes Maidana suffered a severe brain injury while surfing. Her recovery story is compelling and encouraging for anyone who has a concussion or has a loved one suffering. After undergoing her long and difficult journey back to health, Mercedes is now living in Hawaii and running a retreat for women who want…

I was recently at a Tony Robbins event, and boy was I once again blown away. Tony provided so many good take-away reminders and lessons. I do a lot to protect my energy, but I forgot about some of the activities I can do to quickly boost my energy right now no matter how up or…

Life as a modern mom is a non-stop balancing act. To persevere, it takes optimism, firmness, time-management, patience, love, thoughtfulness, and a shot of wine every once in a while. (Just kidding about the wine. Remember that The Omni Diet eliminates alcohol!) If you are a parent, then you feel my sentiment. Regardless, it is…

When you think of a vegetable garden, you think of a big back yard with a hoe, shovel and garden hose. Oh, and a kid saying, “But I don’t wanna weed it!” But get this… You can grow your own little salads in your own little apartment. Carrots, radishes, lettuce, tomatoes…no green thumb necessary. It…

Just like that, summer has come and gone. Fall has routinely become a great time to re-evaluate progress year and set new goals. These goals are not just financial but also your health goals, as well. Goals can become overwhelming but they don’t have to be. In order to be successful in the world, we…

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, and the science proves it. People who plan ahead and visualize have far greater success than those who don’t. Olympic athletes do it, doctors do it, and even successful students do it.  It’s especially true for people on health programs, yet most do not do it.…

Warriors always have a strategy. If you leave your health to chance, especially during the holidays, you are setting yourself up to fail. Christmas is the most anticipated day of the year, but did you know that it is also the one day of the year that hospitals all over the country admit the most…

Have you decided to lose weight this New Year? Weight loss is a perennially popular New Year’s resolution, along with “exercise more”, “spend less money” and “quit smoking”. The sad fact is that most people don’t stick to those resolutions for more than a month and by the end of January, a third of those…

It has been nearly two months since we rang in the New Year. How are you doing with your New Year resolution? When you make a resolution, you are resolving to yourself to do something. It’s a promise, a commitment. Yet, nearly half of the people who make NY resolutions give them up before the…

Why does it seem like there are never enough hours in the day? From day to night, work to family, personal goals, and endless to-do lists, we’re a nation of on-the-go people. We all want to be more productive, which requires more focus and more energy. If you feel your focus and energy slipping, you’ll…

Today, there are more women in the workforce than ever before. While it seems unfair that women often still have to work harder than their male peers to get equal recognition and pay, it’s not as surprising when you hear one of the main reasons- family responsibility! There is not one society throughout history in…

Thanksgiving is not far away. We’ve come a long way from the famed feast of 1621 in Plymouth, Massachusetts when the Pilgrims gathered to celebrate their good harvest. Today, we’re faced by an endless bounty of available food, something that should prompt thanks, if so much of it didn’t also threaten health. The approach of…
